I watched my first Rovers game at Eastville (I lived very near tbh) in 1979 at Eastville vs Aston Villa. I was 6 years old...... I'm obviously 49 now.
When did any of you first start watching/following/supporting the Gas

Mine was a friendly v Tottenham at Eastville around 1981/1982? I would have been about 7 and think it must have been arranged as part of Gary Mabbutt’s transfer.
Played at Eastville not long after in a schools six a side competition that took place immediately before a game versus Wigan. It was organised by Canon who were the leagues sponsors at the time. Even though it wasn’t a huge crowd it was a nice insight and started my dreams of being a footballer (never made it like most schoolboy dreamers!).
I was lucky to be a mascot versus Darlington in the first season at Twerton. In those days you were in the changing room listening to team talks etc, took part in the warm up (knocked a ball about with Penrice and Tanner and took a penalty v Timmy Carter I think it was), sat on the bench with Bobby Gould, Roy Dolling and the two subs. School mates were well jealous!!

Age 8, 11 Oct 1969. Rovers 3 - 0 Rotherham. Rovers seemed to win most home games then, I used to feel sorry for the opposition!!
