[Archived] Messageboard Meetup

[BPF]

Hello all,

I've been a member for longer than this profile suggests and I've never seen word of a meetup.

Has this ever happened? Was it a disaster? Is it a sure way to create a 'bar brawl'?

Would there be any interest in sorting something out or not?

[Mc Love]

Have had the honour or meeting up with Ricky and his gorgeous girl, also Brian Gallagher, RIML and SAS(Scott) - not sure if I have met anyone else on here!

B_M_F, over on official msgboards, we tried organising a north v south match every season (usually last home game) and drinks afters. Was really good fun and had the opportunity to meet loads of rovers fans including some from Ireland and other parts of the UK

Would be great if the same thing was done on here, would love to see the faces behind the names/posts

[Alan75]

A for a couple of years, many moons ago, we used to meet up (christmas and end of season)after a game in the Blues Bar.

End of season meetings used include the presentation of the Grooby Awards.

Funny you should bring this up BPF, I was just wondering if what Eoin has mentioned would work on here as the last few attempts on the official boards haven't really taken off. I think that it was tried before once here with a match between each board but didn't get too far.

Anyway I'd like to try and get this idea off the ground here and see what interest there is.....and yes the last time the official board met there was a mini pub and club "brawl" in both the Postal and Liquid

Lol, she'll be happy with that description, she always tells me I'm punching above my weight

I've been fortunate enough to meet quite a lot of people off here over the years. We used to try to have the occasional meet up in Blues Bar after some games. Also travelled with people off here for European games so I have had the pleasure of Scotty threatening to lock me in a bathroom for being too happy in the morning!! charming!

Many a drunken session with various people on here..... I won't share the stories lol.

I'd be up for a catch up with everyone again.

I meet superstella, never shut up about bloody Eurosport

[Hughesy]

Iv met a few off here - Nicko, Kamy, Superstella, Ben 2000, & Den I think it was at stoke.

[Glenn]

I've met loads of you, but I have to admit it's many many years since we organised a proper meet up, but the membership was a lot smaller back then so it was easier to do. Last one I attended I ran out of petrol on the way and lost Beta Ray Billy down a hole.

It would be nice to bring The Grooby's back too, although we should probably get a more professional engraver this time (I'm not sure Thenodrog ever believed us that the typo on his award wasn't intentional).

Trouble is, organising that stuff takes time and effort, time and effort which are now spent on things like keeping the forum running.

Could be tuned into a bit of a fund raiser fro the MB if it was turned into an annual event.

Over to you.

[Beta Ray Bill]

And some of us gained stalkers because of it.

Yep, thanks to Glenn's assurance that a red flashing light on his dashboard and a siren wailing "out of petrol, refill now!" was no cause for concern, I almost ended up buried alive.

I miss the get togethers.

[Nelsta]

Met a few of here, Fans Freindly at Brockhall and End of season at Blues Bar a few years back.

Would be up for doing it again.

Stop hanging around the bars then -

[SAS]

Had many a great session with lots of people on here, t'is a good laugh and banter.

Sticks and stones.........

[Blue n White Rover]

Only realised after a whole season, that Atomic Rover sits behind me at Ewood. See Modes98 all the time at Ewood with his Rovers top, can't miss the lanky geezer, but never spoken to him. Also seen Mellison24 too, but again, never spoken to him.

I'm not a stalker.

On things like what?

Get more mods or techy people helping then!

'Twas me Hughesy.

Was it Bazza you was with too? Cant remember.

[Ricky]

I'll be in blues prematch today if anyone's about for a beer.

Baz.

I don't think I've ever been to a Rovers game without meeting up with a member of this messageboard.

I sit next to Bellamy11, and usually stay over at cn174's house. You can only join our gang if your messageboard name contains a combination of letters and numbers. It's the rules.

Ah. I forgot to mention the "no underscores" rule.

Sorry.

How do people get these big gay emoticons into their posts?

[brian_gallagher85]

You just insert them as a picture.
