How was the FA cup presentation today?

[Mattyblue]

No sign. Probably got the date wrong.

It went very well Tom.  FA President did the honours.

It was done pre kick off after the 150 cap presentation to Kevin Gallacher and Colin Hendry 

[Mattyblue]

Really made a big fuss of it then.

Did they manage to get the correct dates on the FA Cup?

[Mattyblue]

Live engraving on the pitch to correct it.

"Theirs"

Lol

£120 for a box and the shirt (costing £80) looks like a piece of old rag.

Sums up the Club's attitude towards the fans.

Well they like rags that's been established.

£120 for something blatantly ‘designed’ on ChatGPT.

The multiple uses of a dash and an unwarranted colon are sure fire giveaways it was written by Ai as well 

[Mattyblue]

Yep, no human would write ‘belongs-on’

In a hundred years time, it will be worth about £200, that will probably equate to about four bottles of beer.

Does anyone have one of the shirts brought out to mark the 125th anniversary?

I didnt get one myself but they were quite a nice effort in Cambridge blue and white halves as I recall?

Excellent Ian!

If Im being honest I prefer the darker blue on the 1975 Centenary kit but it's still a very nice effort with some serious thought put into it back from the days when the Club didn't fuck up everything they laid their hands on.

[Mattyblue]

A club with an actual connection to its heritage back then.

It's 100x times better than the one they're selling this season. I wish I'd been old enough to get one at the time. 

[Mattyblue]

‘We were delighted to host 'An Evening with Valérien Ismaël' last night, as part of the club’s ongoing 150th anniversary celebrations.

💙 Thank you to all supporters and #Rovers Business Club members who attended at Ewood Park, making it a thoroughly enjoyable occasion. ‘
 

Something else that has bugger all to do with the history of the club being ‘celebrated’ in the 151st year.

An organisation I worked for was merely changing its name after 170 years and I remember how hard  managers worked to engage employees and stakeholders. They had one particular metaphor about about an unbroken, golden thread passing from the late 19th century to the change in hand.

Compare that with the shoddy shite on show from the bastards in Pune and the clowns they  employ.

What makes the neglect and disrespect so much worse is the fact that they were in possession of some very good suggestions and offers of help from specific supporters groups, which they duly ignored.

Honestly, it's the Indian opposite of Midas-everything they touch turns to shit!

I particularly like the box for a white shirt with a Maltese cross mentioning we play in blue and white with a red rose on the chest.

If Carlsberg did anniversary celebrations, they wouldn't come anywhere near Ewood Park.

A thing I noticed was that on the left hand side of the box it appears to list the trophies we have won without specifying the years we won them in** which you would have thought was an absolute minimum requirement.

** They seem to have trouble with that overall.
