Remembrance Day

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

Even under the chicken chokers this was pretty unbelievable. What had they got to gain  ? Having said that what have they got to gain in owning the club ?

The fact that Rovers have had to move with speed to prepare and release a substantial club statement late on a Friday evening in mid-October, the night before a game, and 3 weeks before date in question, following one person posting this on twitter, just shows where we are at as a club.

Something that would be utterly inconceivable at any other professional club, here is believable and so much so that one post on twitter snowballs into something massive and forces the club to respond like this. 

That is purely because the club cannot be trusted and no story, no matter how ridiculous or extreme it might appear, can be ruled out at Ewood Park these days.

The club is of course a mess, but this is a strange stick to beat them with. What it shows is how quickly jingoistic lies spread on the Internet these days. In the current climate this sort of thing could spread quickly at any club and need putting down. The club have acted quickly to quash it, and that's the right move. They're not to blame, whichever pillock fabricated this is.

@Herbie6590crossing over threads slightly. Does this read into which kit a little more perhaps? Would they play in a commemorative shirt with the poppy on it?

It appears to be false news - thank goodness.

My understanding (from the meeting with Fraser back in April 24) was that the anniversary shirt would be worn in the commemorative game much like the 125 one was against Wolves in 2000.

I do wonder if the calendar has rather taken them by surprise & so we may well have player anniversary shirts with a poppy & fan anniversary shirts without. 

Either way, I won’t be buying one…I’m extremely fond of my 1950’s shirt 😉

This is social media at its worst.

An unsubstantiated rumour about such an emotive subject has quickly been dispelled by the club and the originator should hang his head in shame.
