Relive the 1989/1990 seasonIndulge yourself with a rare chance to meet and listen to many of the men who led us to our first trip to Wembley and earned that famous promotion on 2nd May 1990! Our 1989/90 Champions & Wembley Night offers a more affordable and down to earth way to spend time with some of the heroes of our famous championship winning squad. It’s being held on Friday 7th December at the Shire Way Community Centre in Yate, BS37 8AY. First there will be interviews with four of the squad, led by Keith Brookman and Tony Mills, where our legends will reveal the inside story of how they came to be at Rovers and just how that season transpired. Then, in a Q&A session, they will answer questions from you, the Gasheads and Pirates who faithfully followed them. The star quartet for this special night will be top scorer David ‘Boris’ Mehew, midfield enforcer Andy Reece, target man Devon ‘Bruno’ White and defensive rock Steve ‘Scooter’ Yates. Other players from the squad, including BRFPA President Billy Clark, will be around to chip in as well. Others are being confirmed soon. The cost for this special event is just £8 in advance, or if there are any tickets left, £10 on the door. The doors will open at 7pm and the players will enthrall you with their stories from 8pm onwards. Some of the other benefits of the night include: • A Rovers raffle • Free parking • A very affordable bar • Wheelchair accessible & adapted • No dress code (not even for baggins) - Blankets allowed • Big screen footage of the season & Rovers’ first ever trip to Wembley Full details, including how to buy your advance tickets, are available HERE Or to buy etickets just go straight HERE

Just saw this.
Why not use the Mem, so the club can get some bar money?

Just saw this. Why not use the Mem, so the club can get some bar money? We've used the Mem for our two Annual Dinners so far (2017 & 2018) and have already booked it again for March 2019, when, among others, Rickie Lambert has agreed to come. We pay the going rate. We've also held committee meetings there. We have a strong and positive relationship with BRFC, as can be seen in the events we hold there, our contact with the stadium staff there, a regular page in the programme, and helping host former players in hospitality. But we also want to make events more affordable, and not just held in Horfield, so we are using this venue in Yate for a more down to earth event that is more affordable to fans. £8. We're also organising for Bruno & Reecey (and maybe others) to come down to the event, stay overnight, and go to the match the following day. BTW - BRFC didn't use the Mem for their own Season Awards event.

Thanks for the reply. Wasn't a dig, just a genuine question.
As the club needs all the money it can get and I believe it all goes to DC funds and counts for the FFP, it is good that as many events are possible do happen at the Mem.

I don't think that side would be Champions with the rules and standard of refs now.
I don't think Jocky, Big Dev or Vaughan would have played more than 20 games due to suspensions!
Plus Brian P wasn't helped by the back pass rule.
Good times though! I remember David Lee of Bolton giving Joner the run around in the first half at Twerton. We had a corner early in the second half and Joner just walked up to him on the halfway line and kneed him in the back of the calf to give him a dead leg and he hardly had a kick in the second half! I think we came back from 1-0 down to win 2-1. Fair play to Lee, no squealing or acting like sniper had got him. It was a man's game before the premiership. Good player he was too.
