Some good mentions. I’d have to put 2-2 vs Yeovil. 2 men sent off. But second half Junior played as if he was 10,11 and 12. And somehow we went from being completely outplayed to a draw. I was there that was a good one.

1. Vs City at home 2-0 in 2000. Atmosphere in the Blackthorn that day was like nothing I have experienced supporting the gas and when Roberts put us 1-0 up the roof came off. The cheer was like thunder. Watching a 36 year old Wally Walters turn their full back inside out all second half was a treat too.
2. 2-1 Daggers game. For all sorts of reasons, some personal too. The mental anxiety of watching Taylor miss 2 absolute sitters, then the ecstasy of Browner popping up. Followed by getting absolutely smashed to celebrate.
3. Vs Bury some time around 1989. The first time I was taken to Rovers as a kid. We lost 3-1 but I fell in love with Rovers from that point on. I just remember the walk under the arches to Twerton, the cheer when we equalised and meeting Gary Penrice and Holloway after the game.

Wembley 2007 promotion is a proud moment Wembley 2015 because it saved our club It's a toss up between D&R for obvious reasons and against Yeovil at home on a Tuesday night when down to 9 men, for the me the junior agogo show and also it showed us why Gary and Lee Johnson will always be w@#nkers, great fight back.

Jut watched the highlights of the play off defeat to Huddersfield and what a game that was. Both sides had loads of chances but those misses from Skinner, Taylor and Browning were shocking. Stewart desperately unlucky a couple of times and also for balance, a great save by Parkin. That John Ward side was capable of playing very good football.
Anyway, my best three have to be the three wins which have given me the biggest buzzes, so I’ll go:
Gas 3 City 0 1990. Obvious Gas 4 City 0 Malcolm Allison, shoot on sight policy! Successful for one game. Hereford 1 Gas 2. Shaun North in temporary charge. Amazing feeling of positivity and togetherness in the away support against the odds. It’s what Gasheads do best. We went mental for both goals after what had been such a dismal run leading up to that, culminating in Buckle’s sacking. I always feel proud to be part of the Rovers away support when I get the chance and this was very memorable.

The support was what Gas are (should be) all about. I even remember Zebroski playing well that night!

Twerton 3-0 over the sh@t 1990 - best ever number one never to be repeated ( perfect follow up at Blackpool three days later as well )
Grimsby at Wembley - my sons first ever Rovers match , not a classic game but it meant so much to regain league status and 40000 on the M4 - not bad
Daggers At the mem - Bodins equaliser took my breath away then Browner nailed the coffin - will never forget that day to clinch promotion at home in the 92nd minute of the last game of the season - and closing Gloucester Road in the aftermath
