Coming back to draw 2-2 with 10 men in 2004 will take some beating for me. In celebrating Leo's equaliser I wound up three rows in front of where I'd been sat with a good dozen mates on top of me.That said, the pre-season friendly played there when we were in the Conference was more than a little feisty. I took an elbow to the face celebrating a goal at that one.
I remember the Lee goal. From outside the box wasn't it?
Billy Sharps first ever goal for Rovers
That Leo goal !Also was it a macca penalty ? Started the game sat down I think near one of the corners then found myself with the majority all rammed stood up behind the goal. I could almost touch Leo when he headed in !
The 3-1 in 1993. We were proper p!ssed, and the Rovers were bang up for it. A fine display with David Roche driving a 30 yarder in the top corner. In our drunken over-exuberance at a fine away victory we decided we were going on the pitch at the end, to celebrate with the players. The only problem was that this was still in the days of the fences round the pitch, and the post-Hillsborough reforms werent in place. So we wobbled up to this nice lady steward on the gate in the fence and said to her "Hey love, we're going on the pitch to see the players", and she says "No, you arent". "Yes we are", we say, "so you can either open the gate, or we'll climb the fence". She thought about it for a moment, probably didnt fancy seeing any of us fall to our deaths from that fence, and opened the gate.Jamie Lawrence got told 3 drunken 23 year old's loved him, that day.
Was at the 5-0 and the 3-1 and the Kieron Brady goal match and the Leo goal match. But the one that stands out for me is the last match of 89-90. We'd been hash for three years and we got arseholed 4-1 that day. But Bremner was putting a side if rare power, skill and determination together. Jones, Muir, Gormley, Brevett, Raven, etc. it was coming together. We finished 4th bottom that day but you just knew something was bubbling up for the next season.1500 of us stayed after the match chanting Bremner's names until he finally came out of the changing room and onto the pitch to salute us. It was electric. Even though we had Italian 90 and England so nearly winning the World Cup, I've never in my life wished a close season to go so quickly. And then absolutely obliterating the first 5 league opponents the next season made it seem like we had called it right. If only Jones and Muir hadn't had such fragile neck/ankle.
The Lee, sharp and Leo goals were all amazing moments. For some reason I go a little bit more mental when we score at Scunny.My only bad experience there was the horror 2-0 defeat in one of sods first games. And I was sat on the front chuffing row. Saturday, our tickets are on the front row....hope it's not an omen!
