Tyrone Shoelaces Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 What is the book about ? I’d probably be interested in adding a book to my small Rovers library. Something for my wife to buy me at Christmas. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyrone Shoelaces Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 I’d be interested in buying a copy. Can you buy copies on line ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arbitro Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 I know Mike (although I didn't associate him with this book until I saw his face) through his involvement in local schools football. I used to referee a lot of schoolboy games and Mike was a terrific administrator and organiser. He forged a really strong link with Blackburn Referees Association and from memory they never played a game without an affiliated referee. I am going to buy this as it appears that it will be a good read. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to find Andy that good administrators/secretaries were invariably the glue that holds everything together at schoolboy and parks level. Mike was thorough and meticulous in all my dealing with him. Hopefully the book does really well for him. Didn't Mike also write a book on the history of BwD schoolboys?

SIMON GARNERS 194 Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 Superbly researched. Make no mistake,the 'bragging rights' section (based upon pure facts not fiction our Burnley friends!) leaves the reader in no doubt as to the famous blue n whites being East Lancs top side/Club. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SIMON GARNERS 194 Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 No,you are definitely wrong 'Mr Reality Check' In ALL games played between Blackburn Rovers and Burnley including Cup ties and test matches we are surprisingly equal. As for the rest....you don't come close! A dose of reality indeed.😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riversider28 Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 My copy has just arrived.Looks like a cracking read, well researched Michael. I’m going back into lockdown for a while to read it at my leisure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
