A team that changed my life in any aspects... thru football I knew and fell in love of England and your culture and values... a contry that now i respect and love just like mine. 144 years of glory and a present that yes wpuld be a shadow on our history but pals Blackburn Rovers has survived it doesen't matter why...since I'm a Rovers l hear a lot people sayung that we are lost that we are doomed etc...the only true is that we still here Why?

Philip, Apart from providing cash ( which increases the debt ) what other actions make them model owners ? They don't attend matches. They don't communicate with the fans. They waste the manager's time by making him fly to India mid-season. They don't seem to show any interest at all. Seriously, why do you think they are now model owners ?

Proudtobeblue&white 1,071 Posted November 6, 2019 (edited) Just to update your Rovers knowledge, our first match was a 1-1 draw against Church (a part now of Hyndburn - Accrington) on the 11th December 1875. I presume it was quite friendly. Parsonblue will let us know! 😁 Edited November 6, 2019 by Proudtobeblue&white Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
steelcityblue 71 Posted November 6, 2019 Yes Alejandro. We support a fabulous football club with a long and illustrious history, an iconic and beautiful kit and a record of achievement unsurpassed by any town of similar size. Present difficulties should not be a reason to deter you or any other fans from celebrating and supporting the Rovers. We have a history of punching above our weight, overcoming obstacles and representing with honour a Northern town itself characterised by the honest endeavour of straightforward folk. Be proud.

Proudtobeblue&white 1,071 Posted November 11, 2019 https://www.footballandthefirstworldwar.org/blackburn-rovers/ Lest we forget. A very moving BBC 1 show by Gary Lineker about his grandad's time in Italy tonight. I don't seem to have such history in my family. All weavers from Ossy! But a time to remember very dark times. And whilst we have had an approaching ninth anniversary of idiot rule, it's about time the Loons properly respected our club. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Decision making appears damagingly slow. The Ewood executives appear to have little if any power (Waggott: "As a club we've done everything", Cheston: "Coyle was the outstanding candidate") Not one successful manager appointed in 9 (nine) years.
