Only 1 promotion as we were back in league 2 when they bought us. Can you even count the last one as they took over a successful team and didn't add anything to it. Maybe the feelgood factor might have helped, but I think both promotions were almost entirely down to DC. We were 10th going nowhere until the ALQ's arrived plus also seemingly heading for Admin. I just hope we don't lose our Div 1 status anytime soon, as it could be years before we get it back the way things look at present.

Yes the January transfer window was already over by the time they came in so they have rode of the coat-tails of success until the last 2 seasons.
Im so glad I didn't buy into it from day one as some fans made us look stupid looking back now.

Two promotions is a good enough legacy for me. Only 1 promotion as we were back in league 2 when they bought us. I stand corrected. I was working on the theory that Feb 2016 came before May 2015! ps thought I had posted this reply earlier?

I don't really agree with this, I think Rovers are governed by the same rules as any other business: Product Price Service They say if you get two out of the three then you will have customers. The price is right for Rovers, for this level anyways. The product has been right up to now (and hoping that we continue our upward journey on Saturday). The service is a bit crappy, the Mem as we all know can be improved upon. At this point we are not seeing a massive sway in customers as two out of three are arguably being delivered still. Same as any other business. How do explain our attendance in the conference then? How do you explain the existence of Rovers at all, when we have City round the corner providing a higher level of football in better facilities for similar money? I think you are misunderstanding. The presence of City doesn't have as much an impact as the three variables that I mentioned. With the conference season, the product and the price was right. Rovers were winning and the price was affordable.

I suppose the big issue is not retaining fans, since we seem to have done that, but attracting new ones, which will be very difficult as long as we stay at the Mem and the Death Star in BS3 keeps expanding.
