JHRover 12356 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Slightly off topic but if anyone follows Andy Holt on Twitter I noticed that someone had donated a Rovers season ticket from 1891 to him and he is going to be putting it in their display cabinets when the ground is reopen. Not sure why such things are ending up on display at Accy Stanley rather than at Ewood but kind of sums things up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Always strikes me when a player from the 60s/70s passes away and there’s a Tweet saying ‘the club is saddened...’ Who at the club is? Who is still left in the hierarchy with any connection to the area or a pre Venky time? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Crimpshrine 1239 Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Lynsey Talbot is general manager. She is currently involved in a Rovers museum project. I'm sure the season ticket from 1891 would have been exactly the sort of thing the project would have been interested in. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Fans Forum meeting minutes March 2019: Museum / Heritage Project Still in the early stages the Club have met with John Murray of the Supporters Trust discussing suitable areas within the stadium: funding opportunities: memorabilia and former player / fan involvement. The Club are looking at perhaps a smaller exhibition to begin with to generate fan interest and kick start future funding. One challenge will be the naming of the project to make it current and exciting. Given the rich and successful history of Rovers cataloguing the memorabilia that is held by Rovers alone will take some time and will be completed before inviting donations from fans themselves. The club is looking at setting up a fans consultation group when time is appropriate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There must be staff at Ewood who have been twiddling their thumbs over the past 10 months who could have been making a start with this project. Also, I am sure there are supporters who would be willing to give up their time to help with this as well. Typical couldn’t give a shit management. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Genuinely I could do a better job of running rovers in my spare time and I’d do it for gratis. I’d love them to call my bluff. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Again payment for the work could be in the form of a season ticket for next season. There will be plenty left over. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It doesn’t work like that, it’s only a negative to Rovers, just like bad officials only go against us, and injuries Quote Link to post Share on other sites
