https://www.rovers.co.uk/news/2021/december/21/nyambe-named-london-branch-player-of-the-year/ I rate Ryan , glad others do too , well at least the London lot . A good full back at Championship level . Speed , physicality, excellent tackling ability , especially good in one on one match ups...

The greatest Britain of all was born today in 1874 . We all should be eternally grateful for his service to this country . I know the left now call him a racist and think Marcus Rashford is a better role model , but isn’t it time we renamed a public holiday ? A bit like in the US where they...

Is anyone really missing going to the Rovers ? I’ve supported the famous blue and white halves for nigh on 55 years now , but going to home games pre- lockdown just felt like going through the motions . A labour of love , in a half to two thirds empty ground , devoid of atmosphere , watching a...

The world celebrates the Bard’s birthday today , although the exact date is not known . One of the English greats Studied Julius Caesar for A level and it bored me rigid , until we went to see it at the Octagon and the saying ‘ a play is to be performed not read ‘ hit me between the eyes. One...
