Just think, 60 years ago you lot would have been told that you know nothing and that team is nothing compared to the likes of Crompton...

I’ve seen every Rovers side since 1960 and I know which one was my favourite.

One old chap on our street told me Bryan Douglas would never be as good as Jocky Simpson. To be fair he did eventually admit he was wrong

In all fairness he'd probably have seen us win two league titles and the F.A. Cup.

Not a single one of us can say we've seen that.

We just have to settle for the one Premier League trophy and the League Cup.

He certainly had! having been a fan since Bob Crompton’s days. He was the key holder for the air-raid shelter and seemed to be permanently sat at his front door, on the lookout, when I was coming home from school as a 6 or 7 year old. He always had a different tale to tell and I often think of him and, how between us, we probably have at least 120 years of Rovers memories

And he would probably have talked to someone with memories of the other 28 (ish) years.

I'm going to put this here, Ryan Nelsons departure is a hard read, but nothing we didn't know already.

What a top guy. Like you say a hard read when you hear how his departure was handled so disgracefully. 

Yet his affection for the club and fans still shines through. What a side that was under Sparky as well. 

Thanks Ryan, Rovers legend 💙🤍

Barry Chuckle the former programme editor was the CEO at the time, useless ****, feathered his own nest then pissed off. 

He even phoned Nelson up when he moved to Spurs complaining we hadn't received a fee......

Scandalous.

"I would've played for free. I'd have paid to play," he insists. "To have that amount of time playing for them in that era with those players and the fans. So many good people there, a great family club. It was incredible"

Makes me even more angry at what Venky's have done to this great club. To have a brilliant servant like that and treat him which such disdain is disgusting.

Hurt's so much when you read things like this,the Club and fans have been put through the Meat Grinder by Venkys.
