Introduce Yourself

[big fat yorkshire pudding]

I'm Andy, 21, student at Sheffield University studying a fun accounting degree.

Well travelled lived in Portsmouth as a baby but mainly Scawsby then Edenthorpe.  Also lived in Helensburgh near Glasgow where quite a few footballers of Rangers lived at the time.

Interestingly the day I was born was the day all the world stock markets crashed in 1987 and just a few days after the great storm aswell.

Moving out to Florida in a couple of weeks to work for a mouse for the summer.  Least good weather is guaranteed

[Bentley Bullet]

Hi, I am a refugee from the late YAURS and look forward to sharing some of my 'dreams', along with having some help in settling one or two 'arguments' that may crop up.:dry:

I spent a year in Helensburgh myself when i was assigned to a submarine due to an admin error. John Logie Baird was also from Helensburgh, which is ironic because it had the worst fcuking tv signal of any area i have ever lived!

Also, outside the nuclear sub base, there is a protest group called 'plantshare 2000' which regularly demostrates and climbs onto the subs and spraypaints them. It is run by the little girl out of 'chitty, chitty, bang, bang'.

Wayne T, mid 30s. Originally from Rosso, now living in Finningley. Work over in Manchester so my Rovers mini-kit etc can often be seen along the M62 passing Leeds!

Supported Rovers since the early 1980s although those who know me will tell you that I also have a soft spot for Arsenal. Favourite Rovers player of all time was Johnny Muir.

Ex Pop Side at BV, now Season Ticket holder in the South Stand and attend most of the away games.  Currently aiming to visit all 92 league grounds, 27 left at the last count.

Apparently, I laugh like Mutley off of Wacky Races, hence the username.  
Viewed the VSC site regularly for the last couple of years and posted occasionally as \"Wayno\".

Yep, remember the old peace camp outside the base.  Spent two years up there when was Dad was based there.  It was his last post of his 22 years.  The town itself is too rough though and the locals certainly aren't the friendliest.  The schoolkids had a very anti English campaign which caused us no end of problems.

[Pud_Forever]

Hi all,
My name is Paul but everybody calls me Pud! Living in Mexborough at the moment! I'm 23 and have just finished uni to probably end up working in a call centre all my life, the joy! Supported the rovers for about 6/7 years now, before then I despised football and did everything I could to avoid watching, hearing or reading about it. My friends, who are wednesday, United and Rotherham fans kept on telling me Rovers scores as 'at least one of us had to support them' they did eventually stop telling me and I found myself looking for the scores myself, eventually buying a ticket and going...and i've been hooked ever since!

[BigRedG]

Hi all, first time poster on any site but long time reader and of course fan of long standing (first match in the 70's with my dad.) Now I take my kids, although my daughter has just abstained from renewing her season ticket :S:( Lad still goes with me home and most away though. We can be found at the top of the SW under the DRFC flag, Im the gobby one.

[fogarover]

Hi Folks

My name is Martin 40 somthing from Tickhill. Been a season ticket holder for 6 or 7 years but supported the boys for well over 30.
Used to tell people that I followed Rovers through thin and thinner - you old boys(and girls - better be politicaly correct!) will understand that. But of lately I fortunatley haven't used that line.
Used to abuse the away manager in main stand at good old Belle Vue but now I'm older and wiser, I sit in the West Stand Morgue
I have watched this forum on the old site for years but thought it was time to contribute so I will dip in and out from time to time when I have something valid to say.
I must say well done to all the guys who have set this new site - Keep up the excellent work

[Danum Man]

Right, having read all the posts on this subject, I reckon I can claim to have one of the longest associations with the Rovers.

My Dad took me to see the Rovers at home to Leeds United. We lost 1-0 that day in the 1956/7 season. I was hooked from that day onwards.

Missed a fair few games due to serving away in the forces but always looked out for the results, and scanned any newspapers that I could get hold of to try and find any smippets of Rovers news.

Even though I'm an exile now down in deepest darkest Essex, I still support the Rovers, going to home and away games whenever I can afford it.

Best game? Seeing us beat Leeds United at Wembley of course, long time coming but oh what a sweet day!!!!!!!    

I am 58 years old this year

Hi all i am Keith Myath, AKA Dagnamit AKA HatfieldRover, moved away from Donny now but still renewed my season ticket, in all honesty i aint moved far, Outskirts of Scunny. Had to come to a decision relating to the amount of time i spend watching/travelling to watch Rovers, so im scaling down my away day jaunts to just the local derbies and probably spend alot less time on the forums.

Hi Ray, I moved from Idle village to Undercliffe a couple of years ago. I still get in the Symposium at times for a decent pint of cask ale.
We could always meet up for a pint and a Rovers natter if you feel like it. I've a fair bit of Rovers memorabilia scattered about as well. Our lass keeps reminding me I don't need any more but I keep on buying. I got a load of 40s and 50s handbooks for Christmas but have slowed down since, see you later, Dave

Hi Martin

Where are you going in Canada - I have some business with the Canadian Forces College in Toronto

Also had many dealings with the RAF over the years but mostly in Germany

[jucyberry]

Steve, I consider myself extremely honoured to be in that list of what I think are some of greatest and the brightest  brightest posters..  

I must be the light relief..

Must confess I am slowly finding my favorites and adding them on the connection thingy..

*Nods to all*

Hi I'm SSTV. Been reading the old forum and Mad for the last couple of years but not contributed much, but liking the new style

Live in Tickhill now, but (confession time) grew up supporting Celtic because I was born in Glasgow and my whole family are Tims :cheer: Been following Rovers for the last few years, first game was at BV against Northwich Victoria in 1999 and TBH we were terrible. My mate converted me and we are season ticket holders near the West Stand B Barmy Army.

I'm a psychologist, but dont ask me to read your fecking mind...capiché

Oh and I was the only idiot wearing a Celtic shirt in the last home game of the season in support of the green and white hoops
