Is this a role that is commonly found at football clubs? I've never come across this before.

That's a good shout that. Going for the real 1950's style.

Is this available in short sleeve too?

For me it was 5 times too many. Thought that kit was hideous but I do accept that it was designed for the younger ones. Saw more kids wearing that one than adults personally. Also I was at Plymouth so I'm surprised I didn't remember that one. Wasn't a good performance so I probably wiped it from my memory.

I remember being at Luton while they wore the pink kit. Can't think of any other times but it's probably because I wasn't actually at the matches when they wore it.

The cynic in me still thinks they still won't support Rovers.

I've mixed with the Accy fans before for this friendly but whenever I've gone to Stanley as a neutral I see people wearing Rovers and Dingle gear with the home fans. A lot of people to watch Stanley as their 2nd team in all honesty. These days I'd say that fans that turn up to Ewood are from the surrounding towns of Blackburn like Darwen or Accy rather than the town itself.

Before they played in green they played in blue and white horizontal halves and they called themselves 'Burnley Rovers'. They blatantly copied of Blackburn Rovers and as your correctly pointed, they blatantly copied Aston Villa because they were the successful team at the time. Their results started to improve under the Aston Villa kit scheme so they kept it and then had the audacity to call themselves 'THE Clarets'.

Got a few theories as to how this kit release is going to go. Quite a lot of people are grateful for the early release, but I think this was part of the plan as they decided to pull their finger out to help get more sales. Get the home kit released early, gives more time to separate between that one and the away kit and the third kit. I am expecting the third one to be more of alt home shirt with a retro design. Could possibly wear it for the home match closest to the 5th November but if they get the home shirt sales in first, then released the retro shirt, they can get two or even three shirts sold for some fans. Thoughts anyone?

I really like the shirt and I think I'll be buying one for the first time in a few seasons. I just hope they have another, more retro, shirt that they wear for the home match closest to the 150th anniversary date. Would probably get that one too tbf.

I believe Macron are the ones responsible for the 150th anniversary shirt for Reading FC and that one was very popular with their fans. Macron definitely have it in them to do a good job of this, it just depends on what the club allows them to do.

Mine was Blackburn Rovers Vs QPR, 26th November 1994 in the premier league. Shearer hat-trick in a 4-0 win. On a side note my first time attending an England match was a 5-0 win for England with a Kane hat-trick

I remember Clinton Morrison's response to that handball. "Just let it go, this is great drama, a late equalizer scored by a goalkeeper, I don't want it to be disallowed"

We need a 2/3 outcome scenario. Odds are against us of course but if we don't win our match, all of it is irrelevant anyway. Bristol City to draw or lose Coventry City to draw or lose Millwall to draw or lose I have a feeling that 2 of those 3 will play out but we fail to beat Sheffield United. Middlesbrough could sneak in the back door.

I normally go to 1 or 2 away games a season but that was my first win at an away match since Feb 2020. Felt good on the coach back this time for a change.

That vid popped up on my YT home page and it was an instant click. I thought it was really accurate.

I'm thinking if they do that ticket credit thing again but for the start of the season I'd be tempted. I'm sick of the midweek games and KO time changes.

Blackburn Roverseas has a user on this forum. Would be nice if he made a comment on this thread. I understand if he'd prefer to keep his info on this vlogs though.

Not fully sure of what the implications of an independent regulator for owners would be but Reading MPS are currently pushing for one. That town's club has had it's fair share of turmoil which looks to be nearing an end soon. Reading MPs discuss independent football regulator in parliament - BBC News

TLDR?

Saw an article this morning how Derby have a huge setback. One of their best-rated players, Ozoh, is predicted to be out for the remainder of the season after a late injury against Millwall. "Massive blow for Eustace" and Derby's chance of survival after injury news

Eustace knows the Rovers squad better than our current manager. I think he'll cook something up to tactically play to the weaknesses of the Rovers players and ultimately come away with the three points. Would love to be wrong, mind.

I quite like this new flexi ticket they have introduced. I'm not going to get it this time as it doesn't work out well for me at this point but if it was at the beginning of the season I would have got it for sure. Not sure if it's an idea for a version of a half season ticket or if it's something they will implement for the start of the next season.

Alan McInally is doing the punditry at Ewood and he just said it’s 1-0 to Burnley…

I know Reading FC do something where they have a members card that you pay for. That members card then makes tickets cheaper and every ticket or ST you purchase from there on in get put on that card. You only need to know what seat your sat in which will be in an e-mail anyway I'd assume. I think this system for us would be a nice compromise between both sides of the discussion.
