When I wrote the first draft of the Marketing Prospectus produced by Rovers Trust (now WATR), the mantra I had in mind (and added as a subheading) was: Make it as easy as possible to support Blackburn Rovers. I have no marketing experience or qualifications or anything like that. I just mix with fans of all clubs every day, and know what ideals can be pragmatically worked towards or even achieved. No different from any fan. Why the FUCK are the club not paying attention? I WANT to give you my money, but you’re making it bloody difficult!

Miracle in Cell 7 On Netflix, a Turkish film so use English subtitles. Please don’t let it put you off, as it’s up there with Shawshank or Green Mile. A brilliant story beautifully told.

I hope the compromising pics of @wilsdenrover were salacious enough?

Just spat my brew out 😂

Explains why BRFCS is so fucking difficult to use 😉

I was in the room with John and Dunc when he said it. It was in that meeting he kept going on about NFTs, and look at all the lawsuits about NFTs now! So glad he left.

No that was his twat of a predecessor, Paul Fielder. Fraser Reed, while younger, has a much better head on his shoulders.

I often have this argument where you sometimes get a plastic cup and a paper straw. Should be a paper cup and a plastic straw, better plastic/paper ratio and easier to drink!

I first came across Braugher as a therapist opposite Hugh Laurie in House, and felt the character could’ve led its own series! 4 years later I met Mrs E, she introduced me to B99 and one of the best takes on the archetypal ’straight man’ in modern comedy (possibly ever). Manages to be stoic and silly (a corgi called Cheddar, BONE!!!!, laughing hysterically at the ‘desk moved a half-inch prank’) all at once, and brings the exact right amount of gravitas to the moments that needed it. Captain Holt is a superb character that provided real VIN-DI-CA-TION!!!! to Braugher’s career.

Medium long or short please (surprise me)

Sounds a bit ‘Burnley’ to me…

Bloody hell, he was trying to sign Zabaleta for us before City came for him.

Security was awful today. We quite innocently made our way up to the Premier Suite with plenty greeting us but nobody checking who we were.

Shane would’ve loved them using his own Christmas classic to abuse him in tribute 😂 Ya scumbag, ya maggot, ya cheap lousy f***** 😂

I say this with all the love in the world for this team, but they’ve played like they don’t give a shit today imo.

And we won’t get those either!

Lethargic. No fault of the players or manager imo, just the injury pile-up catching us up.

He’s not finished, he’s only 29!

Twas ever thus. The best Scottish goalkeepers in recent years have been Craig Gordon and Anti Niemi.

Flatember the 4th? 8 B.C?

That’s what I mean though, if the fans have to invest in this instead of the club, it’s the fans that should benefit. If our billionaire owners want to stump up the required money, then prices can be the same for seating/standing imo.

I agree, I’m thinking more about how the club should (not that any billionaires should) use crowdfunding. As a general ST after being built, I’d say standing should be 2/3 or half the price of a seat.

At the absolute tip-top it’s a good watch. The recent Utd vs City game was 90mins I’ll never get back. It needs the standard of goalkeeping to increase hugely imo.

An idea. A bad one, but an idea nonetheless… Next year’s STs prices at a reasonable level (say £300), BUT pay £400 (still cheaper than last season) and that £100 goes towards safe-standing crowdfund, with your name engraved into the concrete behind the seat you funded?
