That really is opening Pandora’s Box.

Just got back from my latest stint in Spain and got my shirt. Absolutely delighted with it and can highly recommend it.

Not that Im condoning this sort of behaviour, but if you buy an opponent’s shirt go in the wrong end and throw something at the ref, your team are awarded the points, if this is now a precedent.

Three weeks today from the big day. Still no announcement from Rovers about this special commemorative shirt. No dates, teasers, publicity. I really don't think they are capable of getting this done and especially not having it on sale for fans as well.

Ahead of this afternoon…

Happy times versus Coventry to inspire…

This is social media at its worst. An unsubstantiated rumour about such an emotive subject has quickly been dispelled by the club and the originator should hang his head in shame.

The fan group assembled in April 24 suggested this…be interested to know who the fan was who came up with the design…

For all those who don’t want an all white shirt to celebrate the 150th… 😉

My understanding (from the meeting with Fraser back in April 24) was that the anniversary shirt would be worn in the commemorative game much like the 125 one was against Wolves in 2000. I do wonder if the calendar has rather taken them by surprise & so we may well have player anniversary shirts with a poppy & fan anniversary shirts without. Either way, I won’t be buying one…I’m extremely fond of my 1950’s shirt 😉

It appears to be false news - thank goodness.

You don't generally buy goalkeepers with the prospect of making a profit on them. They rarely change hands for high values. Any profits in question are usually small compared to profits from spending similar amounts on outfield players.

I'm pretty sure that was a fan made design, as I'm sure the original post said it was.

"Only two and a half more years to go. Come on Val, you can do this, just think of the money."

@Herbie6590crossing over threads slightly. Does this read into which kit a little more perhaps? Would they play in a commemorative shirt with the poppy on it?

The club is of course a mess, but this is a strange stick to beat them with. What it shows is how quickly jingoistic lies spread on the Internet these days. In the current climate this sort of thing could spread quickly at any club and need putting down. The club have acted quickly to quash it, and that's the right move. They're not to blame, whichever pillock fabricated this is.

But Britain arms, supports and enables all of these regimes. Especially Saudi Arabia. In fact the only reason it is Saudi Arabia and not just Arabia is because of Britain and the US. I'm hoping this discussion doesn't get nuked because it's a crucial element of this overall discussion here. Personally I wouldn't take Saudi blood money but I wouldn't take the US blood money either. My main gripe with players in the Saudi pro league is the same as it is with other leagues of a similar format and that is they are tinpot and Mickey Mouse. If you don't have proper relegation and promotion then it's not a proper league system in my opinion. I am glad to see Buckley doing well though, hopefully he can use this as a platform to get a gig at a proper club and play in a proper league.

Even under the chicken chokers this was pretty unbelievable. What had they got to gain ? Having said that what have they got to gain in owning the club ?

17,201 at the Huddersfield v Bolton game last night. Just saying.

Yeah that's not the same person. That's like talking about Steve Waggot and then bringing up Steve Winwood's CV.

True - I’d also like to know the bona fides & motivation of the poster on Facebook who started this…

Given the context of what was said and how important remembrance day is to people, a quick statement from Rovers were right decision. Shame we aren't quick enough on making statement on other issues
