Away kit...

Anybody fancy having a play....try this...

https://www.ev2sportswear.com/kitbuilder/#/customise/54721111?basketIndex=0

From Daniel Storey (big Forest fan...) on Twitter

Great thread...!

As BRFCS podcast listeners will be aware....I said after the Shrewsbury away game last season that a Mr Bradley Dack was “an elegant solution to a problem we don’t have...”.

Yeah, well....

Going back a little I expressed incredulity at signing Brad Friedel when we had in John Filan an excellent keeper; I thought Mark Hughes was just topping up his pension when he came as a player, Craig Bellamy was a trouble maker who would ruin the dressing room and that Kevin Davies would be a tremendous asset....

I’m amazed I’m allowed anywhere near our podcasts if I’m being honest...?

Have you got the company name by any chance?

@perthblue02beat me to it ??

The company responsible has been on Twitter confirming that they will be dimmed on Saturday....?

Sunderland fans see signing of Rodwell as revenge for us selling Steele to them....?

It’s pay on the day as well for Rovers fans...

Don't think tickets are selling well for this one can still buy tickets for £18.00

All £18 tickets now sold....only £24 in the East Stand now. Considering the lack of concessions I don’t think that’s a bad effort at all.

£18 is a great price... unless you take a couple of kids with you!

...or you’re a pensioner, disabled or a Hull fan that has that issue 23 times a season.

It seems strange that away fans don't have concessions, but home fans do.

Hull do NOT offer concessions across the board. It’s a massive issue for their fans who are elderly, disabled &/or take kids.

We have been Tweeting support for the campaigning Hull fans as the policy is shocking. How the EFL can sit idly by is astonishing.

In that case why don't you start a thread regarding goals in the first ten minutes ?

Because a goal is worth a goal irrespective of when scored.

Fixating purely on conceding a late one is a very specific crusade IMHO. ?‍♂️

54 minutes ago, Tyrone Shoelaces said:

At the end of the season we'll see. At the moment not being able to play out a game has cost us 2 points already.  I hope we don't need them come next May.

...but this implies that the 1st goal is irrelevant...it carries just as much weight as the 2nd one...why not the same level of outrage at being “caught cold” in the opening 10minutes ? ?

7 hours ago, Tyrone Shoelaces said:

I'm compiling a list of goals scored and conceded in the period 85 mins plus . So I make that we are minus 1 goal and 2 points.

This kind of implies that if we concede in the 84th minute then it would be OK ? 

A goal is a goal, whether conceded in the 1st or 90th. It just feels different psychologically so close to the end of a game.

A defensive lapse, a piece of brilliance, a bit of luck....can happen at any point in the 90 minutes.?‍♂️

Any foreign fans able to watch this on iFollow ? ?

There needs to be a counterpoint to have a debate ? I know my place as a cynical old git ?

More seriously, I did say that if we brought pace in & cover for DG we would finish higher....so fingers crossed.

A good start is vital I feel...??

A new season, a new series of podcasts, new theme music, a new panelist...you can't say we're not trying ?

A cast of thousands on this episode all wanting to have their say & predict the Rovers likely finishing position upon our return to the Championship. Listen right to the end as the last 2 guests have their own section. 

Your host Ian Herbert tries to keep order as Josh Boswell, Kamy, Mike Delap, Michael Taylor (the Marple Leaf), Linz Lewis, Jen Bellamy (new signing) & guests Scott Sumner & Tom Schofield are fuelled with pre-season bonhomie.

Massive thanks to Joe Bamford (Biz) & his band "The Symmetry" for providing us with our own theme music for this season. We'll hopefully hear more from Joe & the band as the season progresses...

Listen out for some acronym related high jinks as one panelist mixes up the EDS at Man City with the EDL...both have some right-wingers...but...well you know...

Hope you enjoy & if anyone fancies contributing a first or favourite Rovers memory, or a Revisionist Rovers item for a future episode, that would be great.

Only listened to the Ken Furphy one so far. Loved it.

It really captures the revivalism of those times. Tony Field, Kit Napier and Johnny Price...wonderful memories!. Gutted, when Furphy went to Sheffield and kept coming back for our players. One of my mates compared the fans in those days to the disciples after the crucifixion. He was never one for understatement!

I remember a very sarcastic letter in the LET, saying how we might as well change our name to Sheffield Utd Reserves.

But-not unlike that darkest of days at at Selhurst Park, you can never know what joys are around the corner...with Gordon Lee...

If you came for the Furphy...stay for the Kendall...same author @meadows, same narrator (sorry about that)...they got a lot of love last year, always nice when people discover them & give positive feedback...thank you ??
