I was brought up on rugby, Acido. My dad started taking me to Kingsholm when I was three! I always liked football as well, though.
Why Rovers? Lost in the mists of time, to be honest. My dad reckoned I once told him I chose the team because I liked the name Blackburn. Anyway, it goes back to when I was five or six - which is many, many moons ago - and I have never wavered.
Gloucester, of course, is easily big enough to support a League football-team, but it's one of the few places where rugby was always the working-class sport, and football has always been the poor relation there.
