Interesting thread from our opponents forum, overall quietly confident of a point https://www.skybluestalk.co.uk/threads/blackburn-match-thread-27th-feb-3pm-kickoff-ewood-park.129519/

It is becoming a bit of a cult (think I have spelt that right) Seems a lot are yearning For ToMo FC to get back to the highlight of the THIRD division and gave footballing giants like Wigan a run for their money. Little old Blackburn Rovers is only the vessel for the Messiah to show his supporters his true greatness

Wonder if the Honesty back drop was chosen on purpose 🙂 Not had chance to watch this yet, but will be watching it with sound off and noting times of interesting facial movements , then replaying to see what was said at those times. Great game for all the family to play

If the planned route is anything like Mowbray's journey , they will never arrive at Ewood

"I would rather lose them games having a go... than sitting with 10 men behind the ball playing for a draw." TM on BBC Lancashire Sport , last night. Obviously looking at the stats , it does seem to be working as its led to less draws and more losses.

and we are off

Was looking for something else (see Watford game thread) and came across this picture which I have not seen before. A beauty of a away kit with the white patch red rose badge. link : Bristol Rovers away 12/3/ 1974 Lost 3-0

No it was not that one that I am thinking of, was definitely earlier than that, was still at school. Just looked at the 11 v 11 website , and the only home games against Watford (from the time I started going Rovers ) are in 72 ,73 and 74 then 81 and 82 , considering those dates I'm leaning it to being 1974 if it was Watford. Edit : 1982 game is on youtube

Was that the one in Bassecourt, Jura ? Did it actually get built? remember looking into it a while ago and the last thing i could find was the winding up of the swiss holding company set up by Venky's, and a swiss article about work beginning to start on the site 18 months after the announcement that was about 2012. Funnily enough about the time they fell out with their Swiss based friends at Kentaro

He specified that the 4th anniversary cake for the photoshoot must have the icing and marzipan on the inside and sponge coated with jam on the outside, needless to say much like his on field fetish for things out of position it didn't turn out to well.

Was it Watford who turned up at Ewood once, really late (motorway delay?) and played the game in Rovers away kit?, maybe late seventies / early eighties (they seem to meld into one nowadays) or is my memory playing tricks.

Maybe that CV is what attracted the V's to approve of the appointment

Wonder if ToMo will apologise to the fans who picked him to play on Saturday

Or somebody wants more new drones to play with. From what we have seen on the pitch since their introduction the current ones seem pretty useless as a training tool . Wonder if they got a licence to fly the drones around brockhall, noisy little buggers and disturbing to wildlife. 🙂

Both Waggot and Venus were directors at Otium entertainment group ltd but not at the same time. Probably as Directors of the group that own Coventry https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/07612487/officers

It was there a minute ago I read it, just tried again and your right it's gone!

Young Man you've got to knock the facility down I said young man, neglect the Ewood Park ground I said young man Let's burn Jack's legacy down All that will make Venky's happy It's fun to work at B-R-F-C It's fun to work at B-R-F-C You can underachieve and still give venky's joy You can hang out with the Coventry and Boro boys Young Man, it's the place were you build slow except houses, you can can make easy dough You can doss there and I'm sure you'll find It's a place were you get an easy time It's fun to work at B-R-F-C It's fun to work at B-R-F-C
