The NOTTS COUNTY game was the ROVERS' third game of the season and their third defeat (for 2 against 11), however, 7 wins out of the next eight would have cheered the fans.
Team : Jackie PITT, Ray WARREN, Jack WEARE, Harry BAMFORD, >>>>?<<<<, Wally McARTHUR???Front: Ken WOOKEY, Len HODGES, Vic LAMBDEN, James MORGAN, Georgie PETHERBRIDGE.

A much better season on the field with Rovers finishing 5th.
Record: Played 42 Won 19 Drew 10 Lost 13 For 61 Against 51 Pts 48
The programme shown is from Rovers' last home game of the season 12,755 watched a 2-2 draw with Rovers' goals from Bill Roost and a Ray Warren penalty. Why the PINK? No idea!
The programme listed Rovers' players heights and weights ~ possibly unique?
One highlight of the season must have been a 3-1 home victory over BRISTOL CITY with a 29,000 crowd. (Lambden, Petherbridge & Watkins the goalscorers)
fantastic
