Wonderful memories! I was there and I’ll never forget the occasion.

BTW did both teams have a player sent off...........and I thought that I would ‘never forget the occasion’! 🤔

You're correct. Can't remember who they had sent off but Gareth Roberts was sent off for us late on - and got a standing ovation.
I've still got the T shirt from my seat. I'm assuming they will be worth an absolute fortune a hundred years from now.

We were fortunate as we had sent one of our group to pick out seats (for season tickets) in the east stand, when he got to KMS it was a sunny day so he went for West stand instead
12 years has flown by and I’ve been to far too many Rovers related funerals.
Great facilities compared to OBV

Undoubtedly the catalyst to our recent successes. What we’ve achieved would never have been possible at OBV. Thank god we built it when we did, the Local Authority would never invest that much money in a stadium now.

Having said all that, the KMS does look it’s age now in comparison with other new stadia

Pawel Abbott was sent off I believe. They ended the game with 9 men.

12 years on and I believe we saw one of the best ever displays by Rovers at the stadium today. Brilliant we were.

The only time we  filled the stadium even with 5 years in the Championship .

Not counting the 15001 against Leeds of course.

I dont think we will ever fill it like them first two seasons back in Championship again, unless in the unlikely event we ever get to the Prem.

If we get to the Premier League, we may sell out all available tickets, but we wouldn't get a gate near 15k, or even the 14.4k, due to the requirements around press allocation and things like that.

You must have had one hell of a festive season, those t shirts are more like tents!
