An excellent article from Jonathan Northcroft. https://refsupport.co.uk/author/mcassidy/

Probably like many of us at the moment I’ve been doing a fair bit of reading. I’ve got a pretty good collection of Rovers books and I’ve rediscovered some long forgotten facts about our great club! So I’ve compiled a quiz of 20 questions about the Rovers which I would like to share. If you, like me, love quizzing then I hope it might help provide a much needed distraction and some enjoyment in these difficult days There are 20 questions but the total score is 36. If you want to PM me your answers then I’m more than happy to give you your score! Q1. Rovers didn’t have one of these for the first 46 years but have had one every year since then, What is it? Q2. Which player was sold to become our record transfer fee received? Q3. In the 1960’s Rovers were asked to represent England in an international competition. Where was it held? Q4. Which player has made the most appearances for the club? Q5. Which player has scored the most goals in a Rovers shirt? Q6. Rovers have been beaten twice by the same team in our Charity Shield history. Who was it? Q7. In which Blackburn street was Jack Walker born? Q8. In our great Prem Title season which was the only team to do the double over us? Q9. Besides Ewood, Rovers have played at 4 other venues across town. Can you name them? Q10. Our FA Cup tie against Charlton in 1947 at the Valley was unique for what reason? Q11. Who were Rovers first shirt sponsors? Q12. Who was our first £1m player signing? Q13. During Roy Hodgson’s reign as manager we had 3 goalkeepers whose surname began with the letter F. Who were they? Q14. Which manager signed Matt Jansen and from which club? Q15. Jorge Gonzalez Dias played for us in which Cup Final? Q16. Dino Baggio made his Rovers debut at which current League Two ground? Q17. Who were Tony Mowbray’s first opponents as Rovers manager? Q18. Mark Hughes took us to 2 semifinals during his time as manager. Who beat us on each occasion? Q19. Who are the youngest and oldest players to play for Rovers since WW2? Q20. Can you name the 9 managers who have served under the Venkys? Well done for getting this far! As I said if you want to PM me with your answers I’m happy to give you your score. I’ve got plenty of time on my hands!

Sorry, but I'm stealing that for Facebook as I have some Liverpool fans I'd like to annoy ?

Absolutely. It was set over 100 years ago and they wanted it to look authentic ?.

I’d settle for Field and Price

For anyone that is not aware, Sky are allowing people to "pause" their sports packages with no penalties. It's difficult to get through on the phones but they are hopeful you will be able to pause it online by the weekend. https://www.moneysavingexpert.com/news/2020/03/sky-sports-to-let-customers--pause--their-accounts-amid-coronavi/

For those who haven't already done this. It's now available online & literally took me 30secs to do. You don't lose the channels, they just don't charge you. Billing automatically resumes once sports resume. Well worth it. Just saved myself £50pcm with a couple of clicks. https://www.sky.com/help/articles/pause-sky-sports

Ha where do you think I nicked it from!

Well done to had.e.nuff who scored 32/36 and shares top spot on the leaderboard with Oldjamfan.

Remember when Liverpool finished 5th and won the "Champions" League? Everton finished 4th and there was a debate over whether the FA could "nominate" Liverpool instead of Everton. Ultimately Liverpool were given special dispensation but had to enter in first qualifying round. So if the season is null/void couldn't the FA just "nominate" the top 4 as it stands for the next CL? Whether they get awarded a title or not?

it was cheaper than buying one from the club shop

Or an empty training ground, nice backdrop of a tree and some cones.

Love these vids.So good to watch a team with 2 out and out wingers,we could do with a Ripley and Wilcox in the team these days.

i got a match worn signed egil ostenstad shirt a few years ago for less than £30

You both got the youngest player wrong but the others were different mistakes!

I'd be very careful, lots of fakes around. He wrote this on one of the listings: "If your looking for a match shirt from a particular season or player I have most so feel free to ask". That's never a good sign.

According to this article There may be a plan to have all games played in short succession in the midlands with teams locked down in training camps https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/premier-league/coronavirus-premier-league-isolated-camps-remaining-fixtures-dates-suspension-latest-a9432961.html The fun thing is Liverpool’s title win will always have an asterisk next to it

With old football on the TV and nostalgia for days gone by a favourite on here (a favourite anyway, never mind lockdown), I'm going to borrow from Ian Herbert's twitter and ask for photo memories of trips gone by. Unfortunately, I didn't take pictures at my all-time favourite away jaunts (Feyenoord or Blyth Spartans) so my entry comes from our lovely day in York the summer before League 1. Nice drive, warm weather, decent shops and really modern facilities...

To be fair, Lee Makel’s Mum might want a souvenir....

I really enjoyed it. This would have made it perfect

With no football on Sky and BT I've had to start talking with my wife. I've just found out that she no longer works at Woolworths.
