Could it be televised dave, or is it just to keep the Dingles in check

It's live on Sky. Police said move it to Sunday so they can all have a day off with it being the day of peace

I'll be there, just went and got me Rovers Season Ticket sorted yesteday! Was changing stands so, the lad on the ticket desk very kindly took me into the ground so i could sit in my new seat to check the view before buying ticket! Pitch looking great...now all we need is a decent striker!!

Best Regards - Taggy

Probably under police escort again, which is slightly slower than stagecoach

Here's a clip for you old boys of Rovers v Burnley from 1952...ah the old days, no roof, pitch invasions...steel toe cap footy boots and the ball weighed a ton!

Didn't invade the pitch but I had a flat cap..............with a scholl badge on it.................Paid sixpence and was carried from the back of the stands on the riverside to the front over the heads of the adults to the benches round the pitch.

cheers mancie, nice one.

Nice one Mancie, wasn't there for that match but was there when we played the Dingles in 1960 on our way on the final, think the gate that night was 58,000, gates were closed 30 minutes before the kick off, won 2-0 I think after extra time, the Rovers came from 3-0 down at the Turf in the first game, I was there for that one too

I might just get myself a Rovers Shirt and come to that one.

You can have permission, but only as long as you come to our match with Bournemouth the day before!
