out of interest, and one for the encyclopedia guys, has there ever been 3 rovers in the same division at the same time? it's likely that us Doncaster and Tranmere have at a some point but because we're all up and down like Weston donkey teams it's, never happened in my life time....

MK Dons is closer than Plymouth! Hoping Exeter come up as that's actually a relatively close game, Plymouth has been shoehorned as a 'West Country derby' when its not that close.

78/79 season Gas and Blackbrn both in 2nd tier Tranny and Donny in 4th
Gas finished 16th and Blackburn bottom so this was actually the last time we were the top Rovers
The following season Blackburn got promoted - this was last time we finished higher than Blackburn

If FGR win at Wembley,will it be the first time there has been 5 Rovers in the FL? ( Think we are missing real action more than we care to admit!!). No, if Forest Green get promotion there will be four (Blackburn,Bristol,Forest Green and Doncaster)
