We are moving ever closer to a new online store on here with some exciting possibilities 👌

Sounds great. Can I order ten of the blue ones with the "Gestede is a gobshyte" logo?

Has anyone pre-ordered this? I'd really like to get the book but I don't want to of it paints Venky's in any kind of glowing light.

Ah bollocks I was going to get it for my Dad for Christmas with our names in, but I've just gone on and seen it's offline. Ah well.

Thanks Professor Dictionary 👍🏻

I listened to David Dunn on the "I had trials once" podcast yesterday, and he mentioned something about getting fit for a game at Ewood in a few weeks against Old Etonians. 

Guessing this will be a 150 year tribute game featuring various legends etc, I would say strange how nothing has been announced yet but then I remember who we are.

Thanks for that I've got it on in the van now. Not heard of this pod before

6 weeks to go until the 150th anniversary of the formation of Rovers and all we have is a book and some tatty merchandise.

We were promised a year of celebration of what is probably the most momentous moment in the history of the town of Blackburn, but wait we might get a game against Old Etonians (will Boris be playing?).

Just to get us all in the mood and raise the level of excitement from 0 to 1 here is my price of history from our 100th year in 1975.  I might even put this up for sale soon😉

It was framed by a Rovers fan in Leyland.  Yes we do have fans outside of the BwD borders.

As part of a wider array of events that would be ace, maybe a veterans game against them before a league game.

I hope that's not all we get, because that would be dissapointing.

I just had a call to tell me the Rovers 150 Organising Committee (the one with external representation) was stood down a few weeks ago following the departure of SW.  

I was also told someone has seen a draft of the 150 book and it has many inaccuracies and typos….I hope these are corrected albeit this is the first Rovers history book for many years I will not be buying.
