    Serious question but while I'm sat here watching the Rovers v Rovers game, (Don't ask me why). I cant help but wonder why you lot are not in the blue and white quarters. Now I know the excuse is that you have different away sponsors. But couldn't you have a set of Blue and White quarters with the away sponsors on when your colours don't clash away from home? I'm just wondering as an outsider how do you fans feel that you wont see the quarters on your travels?

    It because we have different sponsors for home and away kits. Whenever possible (unless clash) that is why they will always wear blue and white quarters at home and the white with blue and yellow stripe with black arms away. However most would prefer blue and white!

    I think that is most City fans favourite Rovers kit :biggrin:. I understand the sponsor angle but why can't they have their name on the blue and white quarters when you play away?

    The Sponsorship is done via a raffle draw. £1000 per ticket and 1st prize is home kit sponsorship 2nd prize is the away sponsorship other prizes include advertising banners and matchday sponsors. Basically they have to to meet the terms of the draw, this way the club earn more than one kit sponsor to the tune of an additional £50000-£70000 approx.

    I like the look of it but won't wear it because how cheaply made it is.
