  1. I came into a love of the EFL when our son was getting his Masters at Reading 7 years ago. He was already a big Liverpool fan, and as a newcomer, my mind was wide open. I started reading & learning about the game, and I might say, Rovers chose me, I just kept going back to them. The FA Cup matches were on U.S.TV back then, and one of the first games I saw was Blackburn/ManC (it ended 1-1). They were a year removed from the PL, but I really liked Bowyer & many of the young players- Scott Dann, Spurr, Hanley, Rhodes, King, Marshall, etc. My first Rovers game was a win at Reading in September, & I visited Ewood a week later, it was a big thrill. I am a Blackburn Rovers fan for life!

  5. Might be why they weren't. In fairness, it's TV and not a documentary. The bloke wrote Downton Abbey ffs ?

  6. You’ve really earned your stripes! This last ten years has probably been the worst period in history to be a Rovers fan.

  10. Yeah it does look shit in general. Vince evidently agrees as NXT will feature 0 new matches on Wednesday, just promos and old footage.

  14. Wasn't Mark Twain killed off in the same way - " The reports of my death are greatly exaggerated " or words to that effect. Good news if it's true.

  15. Well I'll be watching it and I'm sure I'll enjoy it. It's a drama not a documentary.

  17. Oh dear I was hoping nobody would ask me that. The last time I had to deal with these was in 1970 for three months. Most of my time then was spent removing and replacing broken loom crank shafts and not actually working on running machines. Here I go making a fool of myself. The diagrams you are looking at are an actual cross section of the weaving process. As I remember it the " Sley ", carrying the " Reed ", rocks back and forth off a lower pivot tightening up the cloth as it goes. The Reed itself is a frame carrying lots of vertical wires, the threads ( warp ? ) goes between the wires. The " Healds" shoot up and down in conjunction with the sley allowing the shuttle carrying the weft to weave the cloth. I'll ask my mum next time we speak for the real info. She ran a dozen " Northrop " Automatic Battery looms which were actually made in Blackburn, I believe the late Fred Pickering started out as an apprentice at " Northrop's ". I can't be the only one on here who's seen a loom working surely. Blackburn was a textile town with lots of weaving sheds back in the day.

  23. I have to tell you this story again because every time I remember it I laugh. It is so true of football supporters in general, but especially Rovers fans. My son who lived in Spain was coming over. He was trying to arrange to meet up with Mr Lee Grooby, formerly of this site. He asked Lee what he normally did after a game at Ewood and Grooby replied,"Walk home despondently". ??
