SIMON GARNERS 194

It could well be argued that this Maltese Cross has no actual direct connection to the Rovers Club. "This motif was worn by both the Shrewsbury and Malvern school teams and two former Malvernians played in that first team alongside the two old Salopians, so there is a clear link with these public schools." It's wearing was afforded as an honour to those former pupils of those above learning establishments...nothing more.Its has now suddenly become gospel that it was the CLUBS first badge? Mmmmmm.

Oh dear,oh dear.

Just read that article....barely mentions his time at Rovers.

Its a rum do,no form in this side..even less quality.

England v Wales at Alexandra Meadows too!

Rev,take a close look at the team pic from 1879 above (earliest known to exist) at Alexanda Meadows,front row on the right...player is sporting the Cross on his chest. Btw,that picture I think was taken just inside where these Commemorative gates are.. https://eastlancscc.com/safeguarding/

Correct Rev...Rovers played at the Cricket ground until 1881 and then moved to Leamington St.

The buildings in the background are identical in the 1879 photo ...,good call! Tbh I have no problem with the Maltese cross as a one off. Were those players who had attended Malvern school afforded the right to wear the cross on their Shirt? The all white Shirt is bolllox.

Make no mistake,they have finally got their man who will toe the party line.Utterly disastrous for the future of this Club.

I'd join him on Prozac

Happy Diwali?....aint no Happiness at Ewood Park.That Football Club you purport to own btw. 😠

Its about us putting the ball into the back of the net Ismael FFS!

Nest of Vipers. We,the fans,dont have a Scooby doo what the hell is going on behind the Walls of Ewood. Its been a closed shop since day one,they do not wont the fanbase involved. What chance?

Lad will be having the time of his life...while we fall apart. Rudy at the Wheel.

Again as stated by Glen,legal warning's have been issued by the Club? This is what we are up against.

Pass me the Noose.

Far more concerned with what is happening on the Pitch Chaddy tbh. Even if we do manage to win,its going to be nothing more than a season of survival,worry and frustration.

We have quite a number who need to prove themselves tbh.

Not deliberately set up to fail?....many would disagree with that. We are being downsized on every level.

Short and Sweet..Lose this one Ismael and you can pack yer bags for me. 1-1😲 13,400.(3k Blades)

The Snake..a quick two fingered salute would have sufficed Ian...a pressure release indeed!

Scandalous..they dont give a flying feck.Not fit to run this great Club.😠

That is spot on Tomphil..never before,(maybe since the 1960 ticket fiasco)has the Club felt so alienated from the fans. Its a truly horrible feeling and all in our 150th year...it really does feel like a Wake atm!

Horrific...we have been reduced to a rabble.
