One of the things we've been looking at doing is getting local businesses involved in BRFCS. We've got a brilliant market - this website gets hundreds of individual hits each day from Rovers fans around the world, but mostly in the Blackburn region and mostly Rovers fans that are going to games. Theres two ways we could push local business. The ads you see on the top and bottom of the website (currently being ran by Google) and the Podcast. The reality, is the ads you see on the website currently (mostly filled with large retailers) are probably unaffordable for smaller, local companies (although could potentially become affordable if a larger company was interested, or a group of smaller companies put their ads on rotation). These adverts have a value on them based on what they currently earn the website - if I decide to remove them then the gap will need filling. A more realistic way of advertising, is podcast sponsorship. Its an upcoming market, which is growing quickly. We could put it out to anyone via one of the podcast sponsorship bidding websites - but we would love local sponsorship, even if its on a podcast by podcast basis and even if it generates less money than selling the space to an American razor company. We can provide stats to anyone interested in sponsorship in either format. Send me a PM if you would be interested. We will be able to strike a deal!

Cant watch Robot Wars after they let Storm2 win it despite being too big for the pits! Ridiculous.

Horrible seeing Buffon in tears. What a pro.

They’re still on NAPM til they sell.

Reports are increasing - but seem to be only coming from a handful of people. Which is fine, but it would be great if everyone used the report function.

Blackpool FC officially put up for sale by the Oystons. Congrats Tangerines.

I can't believe that the WBC have sanctioned Breazeale vs Molina (thats rank #6 vs #12) for the mandatory. Incredible that its been allowed and no wonder Hearn and Whyte (#3 - only behind Ortiz who is a proven drugs cheat and banned - which is another story) are pissed off. The UFC will continue to rise where, other than McGregor and GSP are forced to fight each other or give up the belts, until boxing catches up.

Looks like their entire world is crumbling around them. Shame.

That’s the theme everyone should be seeing. I’m confused why you weren’t!

Yes trying to track it down, sorry folks.

Its when you get a notification whilst browsing - its bloody annoying and i'm trying to find out how to change it! Dislike button is just a way of trolling people so won't be coming back.

Rumour has it there’s still upwards of 100kg of Pedigree dog food hidden in the Riverside for Steve Keans dog he doesn’t have.

My dogs been through enough, I wouldn’t want to put her through league one football.

Go on then... Thoughts? Any comments from iPad/iPhone/Tablet/Android users?

Try clearing your cache maybe.

Different that white? It’s white on mine at the mo.

Yeah we need to change the colours. ‘The message board’ in black looks weird and when you get a PM you can’t see who it’s from. Just a few little tweaks.

Pulev injured. Tatam steps up. Hearn has had him on pencil since the fight was announced. He’s good, to be fair.

Moved to Ask Admin (which is now back).

Please do it more. If you see a post which you feel breaks forum rules PLEASE press the report button. It’s completely anonymous and helpful. When you press report, mods are notified and can go straight to the reported post. If it’s not pressed it can be missed. If you choose not to report a post and instead decide to reply to it yourself (often with insults, aggression or breaking other forum rules) you are opening yourself up to warnings when a mod comes across it.

Kong: Skull Island. Potentially the worst special effects in the opening i've ever seen. And i've watched Deep Blue Sea. How they have that budget and that level of 3D gets signed off i'll never know. Does improve later on, though.

I’m with KHod, I prefer it too. Defending seems to have been thought about for once.

Whoops!

Isn’t he out of contract next year?

Yep - you won't be able to sign up for a reduced fee like foreign fans can, but you'll be able to buy every match individually.
