mrs b's earliest memory of rovers, late filing accounts in 1956.

1980 Challenge Cup semi final draw, I remember my dad being excited when the two Hull teams were drawn apart

1977 when I was 13, a floodlit game. Went to my first game with my grandad. I just remember walking up into the 'best' stand and being greeted by the greenest, lushest looking surface I had ever seen. Feeling very, very small when all the blokes in the stand stood up every time we got anywhere near the try line and not being able to see anything! And being slid along the seats, well benches as we were in the bit of the stand that had no dividing arms between seats, as the game moved along the pitch. The smell of linament behind the stand. Prior to this I'd sat in my Nana's front room every Sunday with her listening on the radio.

mine is having a sprint race with ray stead at my dads work ray use to get me signed programmes from rovers and whoever there played....at that time been a young lad it was just awsome talking to a player ever since then its always ben rovers for me.....even though most of my family are duller....well you can't pick them can you

First game I ever saw was a derby game in the Challenge Cup at the Boulevard. Think it was 1978. Everyone was leaving because rovers were winning and looking like they were going to take the game then Hull scored in injury time to snatch it. Even at that early age I realised the red and white half of the city was fully of snivelling wingers who knew feck all about rugby

30 years on and things haven't changed then.

FC winning you mean?
