PAFELL Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 I know of one other Rovers supporter on here from Sussex. I am wondering if there is anymore. At the moment, I just want to hear from those from sussex, east or west. I believe it is time for supporters from other areas outside of the Blackburn area to get rovers supporters clubs forming up and down the country. As well as overseas folk to do the same. We know there is one in London (if it is still going) Singapore also have one. Not all supporters outside the area can get involved in protests, speaking about the club etc, due to where we live. But they should be allowed a voice also. Just because we do not live in the area, does not mean we should be marginalised. Maybe there are groups of you in other areas of the country that could form something. BRAG are forming at the manxman pub. Not all supporters can meet in the manxman pub. There are supporters from Rishton, Great harwood, Accrington, other areas of blackburn etc etc get together and form supporters clubs. People are going on about unity amongst supporters - well maybe this is a way of doing it. Anyway I am looking for folk from sussex. I know of one other, but are there more?

mickc1975 Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 I don't post much, but I'm in Sussex (west). Only just though, I'm approximately 100 yards from Hampshire. I do know of a couple of rovers fans down here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sussexrover Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 I've chatted briefly to Pafell before on here. Unsurprisingly I'm in Sussex now - Horsham to be exact. Moved down here 6 years ago - know of 1 other Rovers fan in Horsham, but it's surprising how often you do see a Rovers shirt dotted around the area (especially when people are travelling up for London away games).

rovers11 Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Where abouts are people then? Always good to meet up with northern folk. :-) I've discussed this idea with PAFELL about setting up some sort of supporters group down south. Think it's a good idea of his. I live in the Eastbourne area. I'm a southerner born and bred and I think many will be surprised by the amount of southern rovers fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct. Must admit seen a few around eastbourne. I live fairly near to there. Though always thought they were on holiday, as it was summer when I saw them.

PAFELL Posted October 1, 2012 Author Share Posted October 1, 2012 This subject has come up again on twitter about forming a Rovers supporters clubs. I suggested those of us in sussex should form on. There appears to be quite a few of us down in sussex. There has been so much in fighting amongst supporters for all sorts of reasons. They are in this group, others in another group. etc etc. Maybe now kean has gone an oportunity has been given us to try to unit the fan base. This is where Rovers fan Clubs can come into play. Form clubs in your particular area. Blackburn Rovers supporters clubs up and down the country. Other clubs have them, why should not Rovers have them.

PAFELL Posted October 2, 2012 Author Share Posted October 2, 2012 Not quite Sussex but I'm from SouthEast Kent and so's Bryan. I am aware there is a rovers supporters club somewhere in London. Yet just going on this thread there a number of rovers suporters further down south from London. Maybe it is worth trying to get a Kent rovers supporters club going as well as a Sussex one. If there is not enough in either county then a south east one instead. How we go about doing this, is another thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
