Still wonder what might have been had we not got promoted in 06, or the year after at the latest. And still have to pinch themselves when you see Rovers competing with the best week in week out. It's good to have a reality check now and again and appreciate where we have come from. |

We'd be similar to Halifax (with all due respect) at best. If we hadn't gone up in 2006 and survived in 2007 I think that there would have been absolutely no chance of getting a licence. Crowds would be around the 2000 mark and we'd have no academy to speak of. Grim is how it would be. |

I think it all worked out for the best. We'd have being promoted too early the extra year(s) gave us the time to build our license application and put some structures in place that are paying dividends today. The squad that got us promoted where far better by a long way. Testament is by looking at how many came up to play in our 1st season and equitted themselves really really well. But how far we've come in a short space of time still amazes me. |

I'm amazed that any club could come so far in such a relatively short space of time....and it's only just begun.

The luckiest escape was when McNamara turned the job down,as I've often wondered how we would of fared under his stewardship. |
