MK Dons and Shrewsbury TownWorst away ground(s)?
Bromley and Barrow – well, at least we won’t be playing either of them next season then Jennie!
How have you rated this season?
This season, in the beginning, looked so disappointing especially 10 consecutive losses and I watched every one, but Steve Evans has just done eight wins on the trot. So records being broken in this season too.
Next season I have faith that we will be promoted, Steve Evans and Paul Raynor have made me believe it can be done after such a mostly awful season for us fans.

Any funny/unusual stories at Rovers?
Well let’s see what I remember 
When we went to Wembley in 2007 playing and winning against Shrewsbury Town, after all the celebrations we finally left to find our coach home.
There was my Dad, my 2 daughters and son and grandson. Well, we got to the car park and there was about 2 coaches left in the whole car park.
Ours was gone without us , so we found one other coach going back to The Mem (or so we thought anyway!) and got on that one. We ended up at the bus station in town!
