In the 1953-54 season we were top of the then Division 2 table after 18 games, still second after 26 games, but then fell off badly to finish 12thOur best ever end of season position of 7th is actually longer ago than mentioned above - it was in our first ever season in the football league in 1901-2. Since there were 18 teams in each Division then we were thus ranked 25th nationally (would now be equivalent to 5th in the Championship)
You can see the promise from JR in the season ticket section on the OS......if we get to the premiership next season, then season ticket holders will get free premiership season tickets....so its for those who are buying / renewing from now....Worth a punt !??

Is that right?
And here's me thinking the Rovers had never been as high as this in my entire lifetime......BobGPS Right old blast from the past today Brian. Was talking with the Account Director of a company wanting to sell me something - I gave hima flea in his ear last time we spoke, but before we tarted again, he said 'Is your real name ______'? Yes quoth I. Did you go to Danum Grammar School? Yes again. Did you... He's good mates with Philip Davies - who Pete will certainly remember. Not spoken or heard of him in 30 years - but when this bloke mentioned me in conversation, both Phil and his wife's ears shot up. (She was one of the strange femlae types from the Girls school who ended up with us in the 6th Form!)Bob
