I was surprised to see the attendance for our 125th anniversary was only 20,800. Not close to a sell out then and that's when we were competently run by people who care.

To be honest from what i remember about it there was less of a fuss around that one than this but the focus back then was all about the football side of things.

Also no social media and probably no cheap ticket deal otherwise back then there'd have been thousands more on.

What with all "Tha togevanass"? 

Lol. He was a good gaffa though. Had the connection strong between the fans and the players. I wouldn’t boo him or chant against him. Those who do are stupid imo

This is Rovers and one thing we excel at is boo boys, unless we need them to oust grifters and owners of course !

I don't miss Eustace's pressers that's for sure. What a load of noncommital wishwash

Couldn't agree more - thought the exact same when I read his comments pre-game.

'Yeah, y'know, I was at a tremendous club and now I'm at a tremendous club and, y'know, I've enjoyed my time at all of my previous clubs, but y'know, we're all just here on Saturday to do the best for our clubs and, y'know, there's no need to talk about who used to play for who. Y'know.'

I've never known anyone speak so much without actually saying anything.

You're better than that Andy.

Eustace was brilliant for us and also attempted to stand up to those twats.

Your ccomments sound petty and vindictive.

Don't think he was saying he wasn't good for us, anyone who thinks otherwise is blind. Kept us from being relegated, steadied the ship and made us solid at the back, gave us a playoff side forvthe following season and stood up to the jokers in this club .

Eustace should he applauded if anything.

It's the Derby fans that should get the flack
