Open Day

[Riverside under the drip]

Anyone else go? I popped down to look at training and check out the new concourse food offerings. Plenty of families on the rides out the back. Good weather and good times had by all. We do seem to be putting a lot of effort into hooking the next generation these days, fair play.

On the other hand, I did note a general price increase for food. The new menu seems a bit 'glossy'. What the hell is a Meister dog?! What exactly are 'dirty fries'? Whatever they are, they're £4.50. Chips up from £2 to £3. Wrights pies at £3.60. Think I'll stick to the van at the back of the club shop...

I went down, my step daughter thoroughly enjoyed her day, She got loads of pics and autographs off the players. 

I think Rovers are massively over charging for soft drinks and foods like Pies, hot dogs and burgers. I tried the chips and the quality is massively better compare to last season. 

Meister Dog is just a hot dog in a finger roll.

My wife took the kids down, had a great morning and the boy got signatures and pics with all the players.

Stuff like this is great, truth be told he’s not hugely into football but events like this can help build that next generation of fans and give them new heroes.

Well done to all involved with setting up

Good old Sodexo.

Expensive hot dog and chips.

I didn't really get into Rovers properly til I was about 10. He'll be fine.

My grandson hated football until his grandma forced him to come with us blokes to watch Rovers v Rochdale on Boxing Day, 2017, aged 15. One game and he was hooked. He now knows more about Rovers current squad than I do. He keeps me informed by WhatsApp about away games.  Unbelievable.
