Quote: Beverley red "Just trying to remember when I first came to watch Rovers, as a 10year old it did not even know how a league worked, I just enjoyed the game. When did we become obsessed with winning? The derby to me was always an occasion & I have no connection to the city at all just to Rovers. Why can’t folk just enjoy the game?'"
I completely agree. Complaints about dead rubbers, and ‘season over’ annoy me a little. Each game should be a contest worth winning/enjoying in itself. And I hope we win an entertaining match on Friday - it’s been a long time since we won a derby.
But the 8s cast a long shadow, and we’re denied that pleasure to some extent.
