Actually, now I think about it, you are probably right. We are by far the biggest club in the NL and I don't see any clubs in League Two who are bigger, unless perhaps players want to move south. So, I think any player who is out of contract would need to be looking at League One or above to better himself in terms of wages and/or medal potential. The player likely to be most in demand is probably Cole Stockton and he might find it difficult to hold his place in a League One side. The same might be said of Michael Ihiekwe.
Around about 59+ years since the day's of Peter Farrell ,Harry Leyland Keith Williams through the day's of the birth of the SWA under Dave Russell's team of Manning and Dyson.
It was the first "big" match I saw at PP and the ground was packed. It was all-ticket and I remember having to watch the reserves play the previous week to get my ticket. It was bitterly cold but I thought the yellow gloves were a bit over the top! I thought we were unlucky. Not only was Johnny King injured early on (no subs in those days), but our winger Ken Finney hit the post with a header late on at the Cowshed end where I was standing. It was a shame it didn't come to Dave Hickson!
The first Rovers game I went to was in April 1958 v Wrexham, the final game in the Third Division North, which we won to secure a place in the new Third Division. I went, but did not get in. My dad, who was not a football fan, had not realised it would be popular and we arrived too late. So the first game I saw was the following August, when we beat Doncaster Rovers 3-0.
