Quite a few favourite players from the past but Jamie Cureton and Craig Disley.
Favourite Manager(s) since watching Rovers?
Paul Trollope and Joey Barton.
Most memorable game(s) watching Rovers?
Beating Scunthorpe 7-0 at The Mem to gain promotion in 2022, followed by the play-off final at Wembley in 2007 with Paul Trollope as manager.
Most memorable goal(s)?
Sammy Igoe scoring the goal at Wembley in 2007, when we were all sucking the ball into the goal, as it just made it over the line!
Favourite away ground?
Blackpool
How do you see the season planning out?/How do you rate the season so far?
Just not currently sure at present, I just hope we can get back to League 1.
We are one minute thinking we are the best and then the next think we are the worst.
Any funny/unusual stories at Rovers?
Fleetwood at home when the referee was against Joey Barton the whole all game, but it was entertaining as that referee should never had been able to oversee that game.
Also, when we won the play-off final in 2007, the management team and players all rushed to Paul Trollope and he landed on the ground, lost amongst everybody!
