The Social Power of Football fans
windymiller7 replied to jonashorton's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Done. I must be the baby on here, I was only in the next to top age bracket! 😂 On a similar note, I hate it when you have to complete your DoB on a form on your phone & the year starts at the current one & you have to scroll back through every year as there's no option to just type it in. Some of you lot must have no fingerprint left when you've finished! 😜😄 -
v Birmingham City (a) - 1/4/23
windymiller7 replied to NeilInBristol's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Those that know me, know I can't let that one lie - it's Jessica by the Allman Brothers btw. 😉 (Unless of course this is a one off "day trip to Birmingham" special with it's own theme song) -
The Riverside Stand Renovation Thread
windymiller7 replied to a topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
One of the biggest things for me would be to introduce a proper covered section for disabled supporters. It really does make me feel embarrassed seeing supporters in wheelchairs getting piss wet through at the front of the Riverside.- 201 replies

Which moment(s) in our history…
windymiller7 replied to wilsdenrover's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
I've been lucky enough to experience, in person, all of Rovers 'recent' history major moments: FMC '87, Palace '89 (just don't!), Wembley Play-off '92, Anfield '95, Cardiff '02. But for me, nothing beats that day at Anfield. Me & my Liverpool supporting mate got stung by a tout with 2 dodgy tickets, only to then stumble across a guy selling 2 tickets in the main stand because his daughter and son-in-law couldn't make it. We got them at face value and were sat next to him - top bloke! Absolutely amazing day. I was at Uni in Liverpool and when we got back to the Halls of Residence bar I saw a lad in a West Ham shirt. I promptly bought him a pint and joined him in a rendition of "Ludo, Ludo, Ludo!" 😆 As others have said, I would've loved to have seen Dougie & Ronnie play. Heard so much about them on here and from my dad. -
Usually I'd moan about a 12pm KO but it suits me perfectly today. (Provided it's done & dusted in 90mins) Watch the 1st half, run my daughter to her footy game at HT (luckily they're at home & it's only a 5-10 min trip), back home for the 2nd half, then back to watch her game which is a 2pm KO. We're on the march with Jon Dahl's army! We're all going to Wemberlee.... COYB

Three Trivia teasers ...
windymiller7 replied to sympatheticclaret's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
The first one's easy as I actually read it this morning in a link someone posted to a JDT interview: Us, Accy Stanley, Ipswich, Crawley, Hartlepool, & Colchester. No idea on the 2nd Last one is Stockport County but will obviously be Everton once they move into their new ground. -
v Reading (h) - 15/3/23, 7:45pm
windymiller7 replied to arbitro's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
It's the first time I've ever heard a football crowd roar with laughter. It was so ridiculous we didn't even bother with 'what the f*ckin hell was that'! 😆 -

windymiller7 replied to arbitro's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Pretty sure JW is 11000, BBE & DE have around 8000 each and the Riverside 4000. That totals 31000 so not far off barring a couple of hundred. IIRC the split between upper & lower behind the goals is around 3000/5000. -
BRFC - The Nostalgia Thread
windymiller7 replied to Herbie6590's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Surely that's the Nuttall Street stand? Not too may houses behind the Riverside! 😄 Edit: @renrag beat me to it! -
v Leicester City (a) - 28/02/23 (FA Cup 5th Round)
windymiller7 replied to Gav's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
No negatives at all from me tonight. Absolutely superb. So proud to be a Rover tonight. It should've been an absolute mauling & Leicester couldn't have complained. Well done lads, you've done the shirt proud! 💙🤍 -
v QPR (a) - 25/2/23
windymiller7 replied to Herbie6590's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Great result & @jim mk2 has broken his duck! -
RIP Motty. As others have said, Motty was amongst a growing list of sports commentators who were the soundtrack to my childhood who are no longer with us: Brian Moore, Bill McLaren, Sid Waddell, Murray Walker to name but a few. Add to this James Alexander Gordon with the final scores and I'm a child again. Will the likes of Martin Tyler be remembered as fondly? I do hope so but I very much doubt it. @arbitro, what was the answer Motty gave?

January Transfer Window.
windymiller7 replied to Upside Down's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Doesn't look like it would take too much to fill in one of these and get it sent over by 11pm to me giving you another 2hrs to complete all the other paperwork! https://www.premierleague.com/news/597652#:~:text=The deal sheet allows a,before the transfer window closes. -

WTF were those 2 doing in Brum on deadline day! Shall we stay here & make sure these transfers go through or shall we go & watch a game of footy? -

Just seen Lewis Grabban is a free agent, 35 now, but surely he has to be better than what we currently have, at least until the summer anyway? -

Have you tried booking tickets on our website or ordering from the club shop? If that's the standard of anything to do with IT down at Rovers then we'd have been better looking for a new roll of thermal fax paper! We're probably still on dial -up! -

I just hope this site holds up for the next couple of hours, new pages & posts are getting quite slow to load up! -
