[bobsterbrfc]

There are occasional mentions to this group the 100 Club; just wondering who they are?

[SAS]

A group of well off rovers fan that have their own bit of the darwen end boxes. They contribute money to buy gifts such as ground covers, mini buses , training ground equipment etc.

[Grez]

Not necessarily well off - just a select group of very committed supporters who raise money for the club etc.

[Bobby G]

the 100 clubs been going for donkeys years, and its basically a group of fans when times were very tough (pre walker) who helped the club out with some generous donations and fundraising to keep the club going.

When the riverside collection fund was going, a few of the members made VERY generous donations to allow the club to pay bills.

each year they raise money for minibuses for the disabled supporters etc and have an annual dinner at Ewood.

They have a very close relationship with the club, and do have their own section of the DE lounge.

and yes, there will be an odd millionaire in there im sure as a lot ran successful businesses in Lancashire.

Your answers were a nice distraction from what's going on at the Stadium of Light...
