They'd be better just allocating a permanent lounge for leaving do's !

Given some staff last barely five minutes, a revolving door would do.

This is what Birmingham City are doing.  Puts us to shame when all we are aware of are a few cloth caps (not Peaky Blinders), some additional display cases, and a home game v Derby with no fireworks.

This ought to be sent to them to show them what a newly promoted league 1 side has mustered

The sad thing is that I should be looking forward to signing up for this book, but until I have an idea of content or contributors then I am afraid I won't be doing so. Will there be well written chapters writing about key periods of our history, player bios, great matches, statistics as there were for the Harry Berry & Mike Jackman books. If the book extends the work of those two authors then it will be worth buying. More info please.

It is produced by a 3rd party who produce anniversary books for a number of clubs such as Villa and Spurs.  

They have done some decent publications but as you will have heard at the WATR AGM Suhail wanted the owners to do the introduction and Steve Waggott sensibly advised against given the threat to book sales.  I don’t know what the ultimate outcome is but I would guess, and it is a guess, given that SW has gone it is Suhail who would have determined the outcome.

Isn’t it by rather than of (skill and hard work)?:

This official commemorative book captures the spirit of Arte et Labore, of skill and hard work, that has defined Blackburn Rovers for a century and a half.

Yes, but you'd have to not be a complete fucking imbecile to understand that.
