Re: Time to move on

I was in a pub in Whalley a few weeks and overheard three Rovers fans talking. Their conversation was roughly as follows: "If we go down it will be great in League One coz we will fill and take over every away ground". Delusional?

Re: Let us drink those delicious tears

Setting off to have a few cold beers in my local Spanish bar. What a happy day to be a Claret. Times like these only come along along every now and then so let's all enjoy it to the full. Can't wait for next seasons fixtures! So proud to be a Claret.
