Cheers Bill,Bristol Rovers 3-1 Shrewsbury Town.Shrewsbury went 1-0 up in the 3rd minute and but Rovers pulled back and led 2-1 at the break. Town dominated possession in the second half and were the side looking most likely to score. Deep into stoppage time Rovers broke from their own area, raced down the pitch and cooly slotted home the 3rd to seal promotion to Division 1. 40,000 Rovers fans made the trip to the capital - not at all bad for a club that averages crowds of 6K to 7K each week. Now join in the fun and sing along with all the Rovers fans ........ "Irene, Goodnight Irene, Irene, Goodnight, ..Goodnight Irene, Goodnight Irene, I'll see you in my dreams" Quote
