They are indeedself explanatory…Forest want to loan o’Brien to whoever pays the largest share of his wages. Danns “hey…your dad used to play here & we loved Harvey Elliott…” 🙂

On Tuesday evening Rovers travel to Loftus Road (Subs -please check) to take on the Superhoops/Rs *delete as appropriate in our re-arranged fixture Recent meetings (this century)…

Match highlights

It’s time for some #1995Nostalgia as it’s 30 years ago today that we took in Leeds Utd at Ewood in a rearranged fixture that would be memorable for Flowers, Mimms & Shearer especially…⚪️🔵

Here’s @rog of the rovers on the EFL ALL ACCESS Show

“We’re investing heavily in infrastructure it’s just not the best time to upgrade as everyone’s looking for January sale bargains but we’ve put in a bid to loan a server from a French 3rd Division fan site & all being well it should be couriered to us by Monday…No further comment at this time…”

😆

We’ve often speculated as to what interest there might be in a “BRFCS” F2F event…whether it’s an informal pre-match thing or something more formal at a venue (speakers, live podcast etc). If it became apparent that a sufficient number of folks would be interested in attending then we might well try to do something. Ideally, it would be great to do something around another Fan Takeover game but as Rovers aren’t doing one & we don’t get invited to the OneRovers events it makes it more difficult…

#1995Nostalgia 30 years ago today ⚪️🔵

Elliott Jackson told me this wasn’t true BTW, it’s far from the best, but they do provide it apparently.

Maybe not…but look at what has happened subsequently. The simplest explanation is often the correct one…

V’s set the annual budget & then task Suhail, Steve & Rudy with operating within it. If they achieve that objective, they get a very good annual performance review which may have financial rewards attached. If Suhail has said “we don’t need anything..” & V’s said “sounds great” then that’s it 🤷‍♂️

I think it’s really simple…Suhail has said we don’t need to spend. We’ve brought in money, that’s going towards working capital. I really don’t think we need complicated explanations TBH.

We are taking orders up to 31/1/25 then it will be demised…👍

1978 - “Rovers sign Celtic/Scotland Ace” ….Joe Craig…😆

See my post in the Eustace thread…

There was a time when we sold our top scorer & crowd hero because we believed we could sign someone better to improve the team. We then dropped that strikers best mate to bring in someone better. If you aren’t improving your starting XI you’re going backwards.

Echoing this, a point I’ve made on any number of podcasts where I’ve been asked about Venky’s is your perspective of them is heavy influenced by how old you are & therefore your frame of reference. They’ve been here so long now we have a generation of support that knows no different. I recall in my formative years at Ewood hearing tales of a lost generation of support because of the 1960 cup final ticket fiasco but it meant absolutely nothing to me & didn’t influence me one jot. I wasn’t going to feel angry because of stuff that happened before I was born…I was a kid, I loved football, I loved Rovers, end of. I am acutely aware when talking to fans in their teens, twenties & now even thirties that I give off a Grandpa Simpson “old man shaking fist at clouds” vibe when referencing what we achieved under Kendall & Mackay when we hadn’t a pot to piss in. No money doesn’t mean no ambition. No money doesn’t mean no pride. It means you do things in a more energetic/creative/innovative way to stay competitive. The current board are not imbued with Blackburn Rovers in the way that Bancroft, Keighley, Fox, Jeffries & many more were. Those days are long gone & aren’t returning unless we do an AFC Wimbledon. Sad, but true.
