An excellent book - really captures the essence of following Rovers away.

thanks for the kind messages you three.
It has a bit for everyone, as some go back to 60s/70s (earliest being Halifax in 1963), then quite a few in 80s and into Gerry Francis period, then Wardy and 'Ollie, and then all the downhill stories after that :-0
I found some young 'uns via twitter (maybe I should rephrase that??) and they also gave a more recent perspective, and they didn't know Twerton, let alone Eastville. But they are amazingly hardy I think as they sadly haven't seen much success.

Can I add my two-penneth.
I don't know Martin and this isn't an attempt to plug on his behalf, but having bought the book it is a really good read and provides an insight into Rovers history and folklore from the fan's perspective. Sometimes quirky, sometimes poigniant, "Bovver/Booted and Suited" it is not, but well worth a read.
