Come to think of it, fairly recently, maybe 10 years ago we had two Mascots. Donny Dog and wasn't it Paul Mayfield in the Viking Outfit? I'm probs wrong but did fans refer to him as Eric?

I'm sure Paul could clarify this.

I have a photo of him with a couple of friends when Paul was Eric the Viking

We could make Soprano our mascot and call ourselves 'The Mardyarses'.

Well Mr wiggerly, you certainly have described some of the old guard of rovers fans quite well.

No Mr Castrato, I certainly have described you perfectly.

 Back in 1979/80 we were thinking of going into the pub trade. I was part-time bar cellarman to learn the ropes in the then busiest pub in Bradford. I had a sticker in the back window with Jolly Rover on and the words “Don’follow me follow the Rovers”.
I came out after work one night to find a boot print on the car door so I took it down after that. It was a frustrating thought that I could well have served the toe rag that did it. :scarf:

Yes , I remember that Idler. Don't follow me , Follow the Rovers car stickers etc

Unfortunately something similar these days in a car would probably provoke certain people still
