According to Glen not only was the 150th kit delayed to the 151st to not prevent gold kit sales, we have also been wearing the gold recently over the green to further try and push sales of it as they’ve been poor. Club run like a convenience store trying to get rid of soon to be out of date tat.

A ‘prediction’ of a win with a shake of his random goal scorer generator.

They banged on and on about the town of Blackburn throughout the AI generated promos and videos to the extent I thought we were celebrating the anniversary of the borough not the football club. So why not for the green shirt (as was supposedly based on the livery of the borough) put the coat of arms on it? At least something to make the shirts have something striking to them.

So the rumour from Glen that Suhail delayed the release as he wanted folk to buy the other three shirts first that weren’t selling particularly well isn’t far off the mark then. Maybe don’t release four shirts in a season then if you want them to cannibalise each other’s sales would be the obvious solution, not releasing an 150th shirt in the 151st year…

Regardless of these other recently unearthed (and ambiguous) sources Parsons has alluded to, I’m telling you now if that random historical kits website didn’t show a white shirt first in the list of Rovers shirts we wouldn’t be wearing one on NYD.

‘Crap support’, usually.

People have given up, that’s why there’s no clamour for him to go.

Crap managers who get crap results get sacked, was ever thus. But that isn’t how this club operates. They have only sacked Coyle (and that was too late) in a decade. The clamour to sack him isn’t there as what’s the point in clamouring for something that ain’t going to happen.

Exactly what it is, no point wasting energy on something as piffling as the manager. He’d have got both barrels a decade ago when the fanbase were still somewhat under the illusion that this club operated in a normal-ish fashion.

Yep, shows how far the expectations at this club have fallen (plus the fact they don’t do sackings) that you can hover around the relegation zone for months and there’s not even a discussion amongst fans re him being removed, indeed plenty thinking he’s actually done a decent job. Just not normal.

They are obsessed with the Maltese Cross. Fine, a compromise should’ve been our iconic blue and white with the cross, not 80 to 200 quid for that.

‘150th celebrations’… in err, the 151st year.

Get an early goal and we stroll to a win. We didn’t so we didn’t. Millwall we did get that early one and it was a comfortable afternoon. So little attacking threat we need to score when on top early doors.

So they are going to wear the 150th shirt (that will only be available to a select group of fans on the very last day of the 150th) not just long past the actual anniversary but in the 151st year. A fitting conclusion.

To be fair to him, for once he has answered the question (obviously in his usual politician-esque round the houses way). Like me, he’s there because ‘it’s what you do’. I sit with my dad and the lads I’ve sat with for many a year, couple of pints (elsewhere) pre, settle in to a two thirds to three quarters empty ground to watch a crap display of football from a bunch of plodders that happen to be wearing blue and white, then trudge up Livesey Branch until the next time. There’s bugger all left in the ‘match day experience’ in and of itself that would attract anybody. If it was any other leisure event you’d have long given it up, they are lucky that a connection to a football club lead otherwise rational people to waste their time and money in a sad and depressing environment where there is no drive, at all, from the regime to do the very basics of custodians - i.e to have the club and ergo said lads in blue and white be the very best it can be.

Pre leaving: ‘He’s totally right to keep to his philosophy’. Post leaving: ’He was very stubborn with no plan B’

Two distinct commercial feck ups in one day. Whenever you think they’ll hit the absolute pits of incompetence and unprofessionalism they manage to lower that bar further.

So unless you can get down to the shop on NYE for click and collect nobody will have chance to even wear one in the 150th year (obviously shouldn’t expect to see them hanging in the shop or a chance to you know, try one on). Some level of incompetence that.

Classic, misses 150th day and Christmas 👏

Free coaches to promote a big following, there’s an idea… long time since this regime bothered with anything like that.

Swag was certainly more PR savvy than these arrogant fools, but there were plenty of ticketing debacles whilst he was here. Closing the Blackburn End for a first team game being a particular highlight.

STs were hiked for kids, compare to PNE where U11s go free, for example. The number of Asian supporters in the ground is still very low when you consider the demographics of the town. …but still those pitches at Brockhall, what was John Williams playing at previously with those Ribble Valley mud baths.

Cosy club backs the cosy club to continue shocker.

Well, obviously. I am purely going off rumours that they have always flatly refused to engage any potential/speculative purchaser.

A Championship club, one good season from the promised land and nobody would be interested? But of course until they actually put it up for sale we’ll never know for sure, will we. So it’s all a pointless argument until they do.
