IMPORTANT MESSAGE FOR ALL USA BASED SUPPORTERS: Starting with today's match at Hull City, 7 of the 9 matches to be played over the next 39 days will be televised by ESPN+ due to their selection for broadcast by Sky Sports in the UK. Be aware that the total cost per month of ESPN+ is only $6.99 plus applicable taxes in your state, so you've no excuse not to be paying attention. I'm not one to sing ESPN's praises, but this is too good to pass up, especially when compared to the cost & streaming quality of RoversTV.

Well done Stu.

Cool idea this.

I've always thought that when traveling to away matches supporters should all wear red/black anyway, unless it's an away ground where we can wear our traditional kit. Even in years the club hasn't made that choice, wearing those colors (colours) every time would send the not so subtle message that those are what we prefer, which seems to be the case amongst the supporter base by a considerable margin.

AMEN.

When is the club going to get its head out of its collective rear-end hole and become a licensed partner with The Terrace Store? 10 clubs from the top 2 flights have already made the jump.

So an all brown kit sponsored by Scott's 1000 toilet paper would be copacetic with you?

Alright, that's it!!! First, we need somebody in East Lancs who knows how to silk screen to carve out 2 10Bet logos. (make sure they're perfect) Everybody who prefers the red/black halves buy one from Umbro. (You can get their generic blue/white too if for some reason you dislike this year's traditional (home) kit.) Now we'll need a good supply of embroidered club badges. (Does the club sell them in the store?) Someone will need to offer at cost to screen the 10Bet logo onto the kits (white onto red/black, RED onto blue/white) & affix the badges. (DO NOT TRY TO PROFIT FROM THIS; THE CLUB &/OR UMBRO WILL SUE.) Voila: The kits I believe most of us prefer exactly as we want them, complete with the current sponsor's logo in the color it should be. If enough of us keep doing this they will eventually capitulate; it's simple commercial math. It will take a concerted effort, but we can do this.

Point taken, but as Joe points out below, they lose considerable markup.

No, no, no......That would defeat the purpose. You buy the red/black halves & you keep wearing ONLY them at the away matches until they get the message.

If a bunch of us went out and bought this and applied Rovers badges to them and kept wearing them at away match after away match, season after season, then maybe they'd get the ****ing hint.

Add white shorts for Ewood & those are spot-on. Keep the blue for away matches where we can wear the traditional top.

The gesturing to Raya was after the discussing part Brucie. Like I said, we disagree. In the record books it will always be a penalty, but it was a bad call, period, end of.......ta ta.

You ain't the only 1 'Blue.

We'll have to agree to disagree Brucie. I found it especially interesting how long the ref and the VAR schmuck discussed it before the spot kick was taken.

That was NOT A PENALTY. That was A DIVE. The supposedly violating contact is steps before the self-induced stumble. Travis was A+.

The only good thing about this toilet paper is the Riverside bit on the back. If we get yellow away kits (used toilet paper) the smarter bookmakers will drops our odds for going back down considerably.

True, but a highly unlikely scenario when you factor everything in and I really don't feel like typing out the 3 paragraphs that would cover all that. Translation: I stand by my statement.

If some club makes a bid for him that we find acceptable, Barcelona has the right to match that offer and take him back. There is no set fee that allows Barcelona to take him back whenever they want. This prevents Barcelona from dealing with the dreaded scenario of having given up too early on a big star who then ends up with ManU, Inter, etc.... or worst of all for them: Real. The clause protects them from that. In other words: If he ends up a big superstar, the only way he lines up against Barca is with Rovers in the Champions League. Sounds good to me.

There's no fee set. Just a "right of first refusal" clause. Now everybody relax.

The photo towards the bottom of the article is particularly funny if you look closely enough......

I was not referring to whether or not the signatures were real. I give you more credit than that. Just list, exactly, the brand, style and any specific print on the ball. (a picture or 2 would help) If it was the brand & style of match ball used by the FAPL that year it would increase the retail cost of the ball by £100 - £200.

Some of that depends on what kind of ball it is. Is it an actual match ball or some piece of junk you could buy at Rover the Moon for £5?

Pathetically sad. But let's try to remember he scored 52 goals in 103 starts (+37 subs) for us. OK? Please refrain from the usual pubescent volatility that pervades this forum. All you're doing is beating a dead horse and it's classless behavior.

Well, thank you for keeping us updated.
