Perhaps instead of there being Sammat up there's nought to report.

Having watched Rovers for a long time I can tell you that over the years we have had some very vociferous ladies. There used to be two who stood together on the terraces near the allotments entrance. They came from a street off Girnhill Lane. I know their names but no names no pack drill. Sadly they are no longer with us but boy could they shout. Before them there was the very famous lady who had a good pair of lungs who was commemorated as a loyal supporter. More recently we had a lady who still goes with her husband. She has a right voice but has quietened down in recent years. None of the above used filthy language- but the all the species in the ground knew they were there. Women get excited as well you know!

Perhaps the Frenchman could fill any gap. Whilst Moore played against Lock Lane I don't think the waters are quite settled yet. When you think about NEW squads you only have to look at Salford. A team needs to gell and Salford look like a squad of individuals. Let's hope we don't go down the same path.
