Rovers Birthday…
Roving Mick replied to SIMON GARNERS 194's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Graham Budd the auctioneers recently sold an even older book. This was published in 1893. But it also says 1874. I always thought our formation was November 5th 1875. But you never know? I'm also interested to to find out the 'exact' location of the Leamington Street ground and what we were originally called. Was it Blackburn Rovers, or just Rovers? -

It's looking like the Brown Cow has dropped Feniscowles from its address. All we need now is real ale. -

Record Appearances & Goals in the FA Cup

Look at Jack Southworth's record, a goal a game average. He might not have been our greatest striker, but he was statistically. He was a famous musician too. Skimmy Southworth - Rovers' Musical Goal Machine -

Where are Rovers old grounds?
Roving Mick replied to StubbsUK's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
I must admit to having reservations over the ground location. After living in this area for the last 20 odd years, Sacred Heart school's position is far too steep to have hosted football matches. The old Leamington Road Baptist church and its surrounding area is more likely to be where the ground was located. It seems a bit odd how nobody is really sure of the exact ground location, despite Leamington Street arguably being the first purpose built football ground in the world. It's certainly accepted as the first to host an England match. -

Technically, Sunderland was a town when they won 6 League titles and 2 FA Cups. Going on about us being a town club is meaningless. -

Ranting about trivial issues
Roving Mick replied to Riverside under the drip's topic in I Can't Believe It's Not Football
I find Graham Liver's show very entertaining. Him and Leanne have a funny banter which goes close to the bone, but is harmless enough. He's a Rovers fan, even named after former centre half, Graham Hawkins. His show might not be everyone's cup of tea, but we all have different tastes, especially at six o'clock in the morning. -

East Lancs Cricket Club ??
Roving Mick replied to sympatheticclaret's topic in I Can't Believe It's Not Football
Obvious solution is for Venky's to pull out of Rovers, write off all the debts, then take over East Lancs. It would be a return to their first love - Cricket. They would be welcomed with open arms and it wouldn't cost them anywhere near as much as Rovers. Can we not find ourselves a good conman? -
