Never been so nervous at a Rovers game. By far the biggest game in my lifetime following Rovers, so much depended on it, in terms of a League return and not just promotion. I remember the winner going in and me along with another middle aged bloke (we didn't know each other) just hugging and close to tears. His little lad (about 7 or 8) was wondering what was going on.Amazing what's happened in the last ten years. If someone had said before that final, we would win the fourth division the year after, reach the quarter-finals of the League Cup (and were robbed), win our first domestic trophy, go to Wembley and beat Leeds, spend four years in the championship and then win League One in our first season out of the division in one of the most dramatic finishes ever - I would have called for the men in white suits.
....AND in extra time they had a header at the far end which looked offside - and thankfully was off target because as far as I recall it would have been allowed by Lino/RefIncidentally we were talking recently about being "in the away end" and I am sure that in Lakeside Bar the Photo of Franny T celebrating has 99.9 % Daggers fans looking "stunned" but at least 2 who are positively leaping out of their seats AND appear to have Rovers shirts onCould be wrong but can anyone confirm ? If they are Rovers Fans why did they need to go in that end unless with Daggers friends ?
