To the same tune I seem to remember something like:

I walk like a chicken or a knock-kneed hen

Original was..............

I'm a bow-legged chicken, I'm a knock-kneed hen

Never been so happy since I don't know when

I walk with a wiggle and a giggle and a squawk

Doing the Tennessee wig-walk

Put your knees together..............etc.etc.

In the charts around 1960

Whats the chances of a get-together when we are allowed back on Ewood ?

I'm on Riverside and every half time I meet up with 4 other fans near the halfway line, Uddersfelt Blue being one of them. You're welcome to join us Rigger.

Oh, I see your BBE. We'll have to meet at the fence, then like we did with a Rovers fan from Sweden once.

I used to drink with Woj, a long long time ago.

Bazza I don't think we will be in our normal places on Ewood next season.

Does anybody of a certain vintage remember RATC? It was an acronym for Rovers Away Travel Club and although it pretty much bombed I remember getting my membership card. It originated at a supporters meeting with Ken Furphy and the then commercial manager Keith Cafferty. The idea was to offer subsided travel to away games and at the meeting there were lots of enthusiastic young Rovers fans (including me and several mates) who signed up to it. As I said it died a death but I remember Furphy at the meeting bouncing lots of ideas around.

I just went with Ribblesdale. The RATC meant rules that had to be followed. Ribblesdale was a free for all. At Southampton our coach got bricked, the driver hit the brakes, opened the door and shouted, "get the bastards".

I remember that Tony. I'm pretty sure I travelled to Notts County in an end-of-season 0-0 draw as a member of RATC.

You could well be right Andy. We were also at that game, perhaps even the same coach. That was the game when Roger Jones made probably the best ever save I have seen live. I also remember some Forest fans taking the piss out of my Rovers OK badge sewn on my Levi's jacket.
