Is it a drug or a religion? Either way, once in your veins your club becomes part of you, inextricably linked, intertwined, symbiotic.

Blackburn Rovers is 150 today and has been responsible for so many personal highs and lows for well over 50 years now. 

 

Relegated in the first full season I started watching, the warning signs were there but the rewards would come and realistically were beyond anyone’s wildest dreams. Well perhaps not beyond one person’s…

 

Thanks to one man’s largesse we have seen a league title and a cup, enjoyed European adventures and some of the finest players ever to wear blue & white halves.

Whatever division the club finds itself in, whoever ostensibly owns the club, in reality it belongs to the fans. The folks who travel the length & breadth of the country, spending hard-earned cash.

 

 

The club is 150 years old today - it will always be yours.
