Up the Gas! 3rd September 2008

Well call me biased, but The Mem, as The Memorial stadium is affectionately known, is a humble, homely venue which comes to light when packed to the rafters.

Rovers attract approx 7,000 fans on an average matchday, which rises to 12,000 capacity for big games.

I've rarely seen any trouble, in fact the police presence is usually enough to thwart any boisterous beings from any erroneous activity! I will definitely take my kids to watch the gas (Rovers) when they are old enough and the quality of football served up has improved since we've gained promotion to league 1 (third tier or the English professionl league).

The atmosphere is excellent, especially when the strains of Rovers them tune 'Goodnight Irene' throng from the Gasheads with fervour!

I highly recommend the Memorial Stadium for Rovers games - it's been years since I watched a Rugby game there so can't really comment on that. So come to watch the mighty gas, you won't be disappointed!
