As I was with gav for the majority of 3 days I have to say the above was the only downer on what was a fantastic trip.
It really doesn't make sense to me to antagonise folk by not allowing them to drink and then almost laughing in your faces when asking for an explanation as to why not?
I honestly believe Rovers fans were being treated in this manner because of the reputation England fans have.
Saying all that the highlight for me has to be Macky's (snr) rendition of no nay never in Grasshopper! (I must have spent 20quid just going toilet in that place.)
A night to remember along with port vale 75.
For us "slightly" older ones, these two occasions will be remembered as fondly as anything we achieved since then.
Bolton's tkts go on general sale tommorrow with approx 2,000 sold so far.
I would have thought they would have cleared more by now, but still time I suppose.
Went to watch Eagley v Charnock richard (west lancs lge) yesterday afternoon, then raced home for England match.
Without a shadow of doubt the first match give me far far more enjoyment, and all for the total cost of NOTHING!!!!!!!
England's top profesional players are overpaid, overhyped, and in world terms ............average at best!
The fact is the Rovers match yesterday was shown on TV and from what I'm led to believe every single match this season has been shown live on 1 station or another. (bar salzburg away)
We left a certain pub at 2.50pm yesterday with the landlord telling us we must be mad to pay what we do instead of sitting in the warmth of his pub, enjoying the match on tv and havin a few pints for half the cost.
Now whilst I would never consider such a thing, believe me, there are many that do. To see lads coming in as we were leaving with there rovers shirts on, ordering thier drinks and parking down for the next couple of hours or so was a sad sight indeed.
