We were a small club then, 2 or 3000, we could easily have gone bust in the 90’s.
Sam Hammam gave us hope.
rovers were always well supported

I remember a crowd in the league against Wrexham

Saturday afternoon

1800

Thats not a sleeping giant , thats a fecking corpse

Rick Wright was the first to kick this club up the arse and hammam certainly pulled us up but people forget that under him crowds were still disappointing in the championship
