    A Mackem's eye view of our 4 - 3 victory in the opening game of the 1970 season... against newly relegated Sunderland at The Gate..

    Was there for this one as a young teen watching from 'the enclosure' in front of 'the Grandstand' ...

    Great game of max excitement. 

    It was indeed a great game - and the day the East End Skins sent the cheeky Mackem Skins home nursing their wounds.

    Not a place for the faint-hearted.

    Blackburn and Wigan coming up .... tough opponents for City in the Championship next season especially with some pretty decent teams coming down with their parachutes!  Unlike the rest of you, I went to the Mem today.  Brilliant atmosphere ... old fashioned terrace .. unlike the now sanitised Ashton Gate as my son said.  And those who talk about the 45,000 whatever.  Remember the ground up in Whorefield is always 95% full of gypsies, tramps and thieves.  

    There you go Harold, I've fixed that for you.

    Can't argue with what you say about it being an old fashioned terrace. The picture says it all.

    The smell of Irene's manky bloomers on that washing line must be unbearable.

    Clearly not something to be sniffed at.

    I'm sure we could have insisted on a haircut and a shave in the contract.

    Plus he'd actually be able to afford one.

    No way !

    Can you imagine the monstrosity that lies behind that matted, mangy, flea-infested hair?

    He'll give the kids nightmares and scare them to death.

    Keep it covered tramp!

    Got told off by an old lady for wearing my city scarf in The Eastgate Centre yesterday,  as it was Rovers territory. Sweet old thing. I did point out that that may have still be been true, if they had not they sold their stadium where we wete standing. The foreign chap serving me thougbt it must be an Arsenal scarf! Long way to go.

    Here's a quiz from their forum:-

    1. Who scored Rovers first ever goal in the Conference and who were the opponents ?
    2. Who did Rovers play in their only ever FA Trophy match and what was the final score ?
    3. Name all the five substitutes for Rovers Conference final and name those subs who actually played ?
    4. Who did Rovers play in their final Conference match and what was the score ?
    5. Who scored the only goal in Rovers first league match after returning to League Two ?
    6. In that final dramatic match of the 2016 season against Dagenham and Redbridge which saw Rovers promoted who’s shot hit the inside of the post before Lee Brown’s celebrated last gasp winner ?
    7. What was the reason for Rovers match at Cambridge in October 2015 to be brought forward 24 hours ?
    8. Who were Rovers young player and player of the Year in 2016 ?
    9. Name the Rovers player who scored his country’s winning goal against Jordan to send him and his country to the 2010 World Cup finals ?
    10. Which League club brought just 48 away fans to the Mem during 2015/16 season ?

    Probably the most depressing quiz I've ever come across. I delighted to say I would have scored nought out if ten, as I lost the will to live after question one.
     
    They guy who compiled it seems to have such fond memories of their time in the basement league -  he's either itching to get back there or resigned to the fact that it's their ultimate destination.
