SIMON GARNERS 194

How many more references to our foundation year being 1874 do we need,again,they surely cant all be wrong! The Mystery continues......

That's even more confusing! The formation of any Club will be its initial foundation not its first recorded match.I've seen several other publications claim 1874.

But can you Manage? Take yer Bat n Ball with you...door over there.

Totally agree Parsons about your point on the Beauty of History evolving but here's the rub,incorrect info can suddenly become gospel,Chinese Whispers and nothing more. I am lucky enough to own a very rare copy of the Clubs official 'Grand Bizaare' Book dated 1895.This excerpt may be of interest to you,also note the year of our formation( I posted a thread about this a few years ago)...

Mike Jackman,Blackburn Rovers : The complete Record published 2009.. " The choice of club colours also had its roots in the public School background which so many of its members shared. Both of the Hargreaves brothers and Doc Greenwood were old Malvernians,and it was decided to copy their quartered shirt design,but to replace the traditional green with Cambridge blue." There is no reference in any of Mikes fantastic Books to this fictitious White Jersey. Total Hearsay and nothing more imo.

Gav...if Wednesday fans can do it why cant we? This waiting around for them to leave bollox will probably see most of us on here in our Graves ffs!

Boycott called off...watch them go from strength to strength while we fall through the floor.

Make no mistake,he'll be on holiday somwhere like the South of France laughing his bollox off as the coin rolls in. Great if you can get the gig eh.

No "Phoenix Club" for me personally NO NAY NEVER!..there will only ever be one ROVERS CLUB in this Town. Being brutally honest what hurt's me the most is our inability to come together as a united Fanbase and fight the B'stards ruining our Town's Ancient and Storied Club. Massive frustration.

The school was built on the site of were the pitch would have been after Rovers left for Ewood...pretty sure of that

Wow...just wow. If this is the jangled thought process of some of our fans then we are truly finished.

Sickening,the man may even be on full pay!

Parsons, surely info from the Clubs earliest Books/ Historical references should be used here: Its Blue and White Quatered Shirts.

What a shame there are no known match photographs of Rovers playing there.You would have also thought the England v Scotland game at the venue would have attracted the national media of the peroid. http://englandfootballonline.com/TeamStadia/England/EngLeamington.html http://englandfootballonline.com/Seas1872-00/1886-87/M0031Sco1887.html#Team

The reality for many thousand's now especially when the current product is so damn poor.Add to that midweek games in Winter and Im sure the downward spiral in attendance will continue.

Bolton Wanderers now advertising all over the LT!

Ismael has said 'its on us' as he and the team must take responsibility for results....well fook me,no shit Sherlock!! Finally realised that losing is becoming the norm Val,penny dropped? Lose this and you need to be gone sunny,enough is enough.

Barrett M82. Would do a swift and efficient job.

Now that is what you call voting with your feet.

Good find Mick. Its quite obvious that the Pitch must have been 'levelled off' in relation to the surrounding geographic incline of the area. All trace of that must have been destroyed when Housing was built upon the Pitch after moving to Ewood.

Divide and Conquer,a fanbase for some unknown reason split right down the middle even after all that has happened these disastrous last 15 years of carnage. I dont understand it.

Just having a look on the Dingles MB,we are the gift that keeps on giving for the inbreds. 'Agent Ismael' and Venkys the best thing since marrying their own Sisters...manna from Heaven. They have succeeded in making us a fookin laughing stock and it will continue until they fook off for good.

Dread...real dread.

Who are these people then?......

Ismael is their man,happy to take the Venky Rupee do their bidding,will not rock the Boat...perfect Patsy. The Snake,the Ego and a piss poor Manager at the Ewood Wheel.An utter recipe for disaster.
