SIMON GARNERS 194

The playing pitch must have been levelled off in relation to the surrounding area.The area at the top of the pitch,on the incline near Revidge Rd and Dog Inn,would have been used as a spectator viewing area very possibly. What a shame no Photographic evidence is known to exist.It's a big part of our History,three FA Cups won while in residence.

The original minutes and Books have been sadly lost to time..all early references point to Blue n White Quaters...early written evidence has been given to support this.The earliest known Team Photo supports this. With all respect,not once in any of your History Books are all White Shirts mentioned.

I feel like I need to be at this game,I may not see a 175th! What do I do folks!!??....

It is what it is Ian..it was never the Rovers first official Badge,fans are getting mixed up on this subject,mis- information becoming gospel! 😉

Low and behold there is NO reference to White Shirts being our first kit in the Anniversary Book..just OUR famous Blue n White Halves. What a Cock up.

It was only awarded to players who had attended the said private schools,it was not the Clubs first Badge Ian.

Pretty sure the second one is our first and only kit.

Would have been nice but obviously too much trouble those in charge.

DM asked for an update on behalf of Paul Salmon regarding a letter he wrote which it was agreed would be sent to FIFA, the FA, EFL and The Royal Family. SS stated this letter had been sent. DM expressed disappointment that Paul hadn’t been notified of this. (At the end of the meeting SS clarified that the letter had been sent to Mike Jackman, and not to any of the intended recipients.) Could someone expand on this comment please?

Going to predict a 2-1 win but we might lose this 0-1...expect the unexpected,Roll that Dice,spin that Wheel! Crazy Club in a crazy League.🙃 15,400

Jury still out for me.Cant quite get my Head around these series of losses and then we go on a winning streak..strange to say the least!

Another great win...what's going on!!

This league is so mediocre its unreal!

All good!

Exactly my thought's rigger.

Its been written by Michael Hodkinson Rev,Rovers fan who did the 'NO NAY NEVER' Book. The bit from the Rao's is them gushing to say how proud they are to be connected with our Club,yadda,yadda yadda...quite gut wrenching tbh. As you can imagine from around 2010 the Book err thins out a bit!

Take a look again at the four timeline pics in the link below,clearly shows where the ground was,there can be no doubt. http://englandfootballonline.com/TeamStadia/England/EngLeamington.html

Just got my Anniversary Book. Good content but the two pages dedicated to the Rao's can go and get fooked,puts a real downer on it...the full page picture of the Brothers Grimm stood laughing cuts deep like a knife for me personally.

Fair play Ian Herbert but then just who the hell is responsible for making the decision on that all white aberration that went against all advice and idea? The Rovers pictoral timeline outside the Stadium taken down,the Blues Bar gutted of its memorabilia and now this utter bollox...I swear its like they are taking the piss out the fans.

Instead of consulting with Fans and Club Historians they looked at that football shirt history site and took it as gospel. Embarrassing,absolute gobshytes.

The all white monstrosity,you be Leeds Son?

Plenty wont buy it because its horrible and a work of fiction and I can assure you the high price WILL also be a factor.

I bet the Dog Inn was drunk dry by the Scots fans that day..never had such takings since i bet!

Little bit of fan pressure done a world of good it seems..who wudda thunk it!
