We should just start calling the Riverside “The Tony Parkes Stand” even if the club won’t.

The fact they’ve sat on that for what, five years, says everything about this regime.

Such a simple but meaningful change and they couldn’t be arsed as they have absolutely no feel for Rovers or its heritage.

I actually refereed that match. Tony himself rang me to do it and I told him it would be an honour and it was. As well as being a part of a fitting tribute to Tony I got to actually referee Tugay.

On recognition Tony gave us all a Rovers watch which I still wear.

How long did he take to leave the pitch after he was subbed off? 😉
