The Rovers Return by Mr Dunford

Went through that. Awful times. Perhaps that's why I read "why aren't we spending, we've been let down by our owners, why don't we have a bigger budget" with utter contempt.

"One of the few", we were not that badly supported.

I never understood the big deal about having to travel to bath, from yate its quicker than getting to muller rd. Poor show to those who couldn't be bothered.

I've actually noticed the younger fans who can't remember/weren't born during the Twerton days are much more level headed than some older fans who seem to be foaming from the mouth when we lose a few.

An excellent film which puts many things into perspective.

I agree with this. I lived in Trowbridge at the time. Was an absolute delight for me as it was much easier to get to. I’m no glory supporter but I might have been a bloomin lazy one.

The Twerton days were great days! loved the fact that everyone who followed the Dunfords there was totally committed to the club, nobody moaned ,we all rallied round to the cause , the atmosphere surrounding the club was one of defiance, and all the insults which came our way we adopted as our watchwords eg rag bag rovers etc .i well remember queuing round the ground for Wembley tickets, the replay at Lucky Liverpool, that night in May, how we defied the odds and turned the Littlewoods cup deficit around at Ashton, the great players we discovered there, they were great days and we have Geoff and his Father to thank for that and much more.ITS been said on previous posts that only true blues made the effort hence complete harmony from top to bottom, some how the Mem has never felt quite the same has it,? but lets make it a sell out on the 28 oct and show the family just how much they mean to us and just how thankful we are that they were at the helm during the most difficult time in our history, and to the doubters who are bemoaning our present form , keep calm , things could be an awful lot worse! Honest!

Remember standing at Blackpool in 1990 singing "We're proud of you" to Geoff and Ron Craig as they walked round the ground before the game. Meant it too.

Hope there is some from of permanent reminder such as a Dunford Stand or similar.

A pleasure to have supported Rovers at Twerton Park!

Same here i enjoyed Twerton days, i feel it made us stronger and more together, although it was a sad day when we left Eastville i also remember that final season as depressing as it could get, and to be honest it did not feel like home what with the southstand fire also rest of stadium in such a run down state, support was way down the club was dying on it's feet and i think we are in a much better place than the last couple of seasons at Eastville thankfully to the Dunfords and some great transfer dealings at Twerton that bought in some cash to see us through with one of our best managers ever in Gerry francis UTG !
