Anybody go to this?

It was Rovers vs Emley at Hillsborough in 2002, i think it was some sort of Sheffield Cup, we won either 2-0 or 2-1

Yes i did.  Think it was a midweek afternoon match and I took time off work to go and watch.

Yorkshire Electricity Cup, I think that was.  Just the teams form Yorkshire, and all the "big boys" sent their kids out to play it.

I dont remember my 1st home game, i do remember my 1st away game, it was lincoln and i think we drew 1-1 we played in green and we were all cramped into one side as they were having construction done on the stand behind one net.
Cant remember the year if this rings a bell with anyone then it would be interesting to know...

Crikey Hoola, are you dredging the bottom of the forum up?

LOL Rob, seems more interesting than some of the whining on here recently

We did do a new version of this thread less than a week ago though

[sedwardsdrfc]

mine was against forest green in the confrence i was really young and not the least bit intrested in football at the time all i can remember was that i could run up and down the whole stand there were so few people about and getting a mars bar my next game came about 5 years after that

27th April, 1996 against Wigan Athletic.  Won 2-1.  Roberto Martinez opened the scoring for Wigan, then John Schofield scored either side of half time for Rovers.

Nope. It was the Sheffield and Hallamshire Senior Cup which we won in 2001 (beating Emley 2-1 at Hillsborough) and 2002 (beating Emley 3-0 at Hillsborough).

The Yorkshire Electricity Cup was an entirely different proposition. This was a crappy pre-season 'tournament' (basically one match from memory) which we won in pre-season 1995.

Ah, of course.  Getting my shitty tin-pot cups mixed up!

[RoversAlias]

Hey now Rob, we were masters of the S&HS Cup! A great competition for us 

I saw my biggest Rovers victory in that competition...an 8-0 thumping of the mighty Mexborough!

How many did we put past Fleetwood around the same era? Seem to remember Glenn Kirkwood scored 4?
