Most memorable goal(s)?
Sammy Igoe at Wembley in 2007.
Favourite away ground?
Derby County.
Worst away ground?
Reading, people might wonder why, but we were sat in the very last row and the players looked like ants on the football field!
How do you see the season planning out?/
How do you rate the season so far?
Amanda say’s that regarding Darrell leaving, it’s too many managers in the same situation recently and I am just hoping we can get the passion back after the last few seasons and also stay in the league.
Fingers crossed the new manager can get the players playing again with passion for the club.
Any funny/unusual stories at Rovers?
Amanda mentions that she found it quite amusing watching tennis balls coming on pitch at Reading during their owner protest. Then, at the moment, thinking why are we just waiting and watching this!
