ACHTERBERG RUMOUR
Rumours have been circulating during the past week about rovers keeper John ACHTERBERG being in contracts talks with newly promoted Wigan Athletic. The JJB lot already have an experienced goal keeper in their number one John Filan so it is hard to believe that Paul Jewell would want another keeper in his thirty's. Still ACHTERBERG has always said he wants to play for rovers for as long as possible and that it was in the "hands of the club" about whether he was going to sign last season.
