@rog of the rovers & me have been debating this for weeks 😆

You’ll have to go back through our archive…we’re on a much-needed summer break 😎 The Matt Jansen, Don Mackay & Simon Garner ones are particularly enjoyable IMHO 👌

A terrific day out…⚪️🔵

Available from 6pm tonight on YouTube

Steady on…years of process being abandoned here…😀

You are Robbie Savage & I claim my £5

Never knowingly undersold…

M’learned colleague @rog of the rovers pointed out to me that you can make out the Macron logo through the white half which suggests it’s a dark logo on a white half at the front. My response to that was along the lines that my relationship to Rovers is at best fragile momentarily & a non-reversed halves home shirt in our 150th year might be the straw that breaks this camel’s back 🤦‍♂️😆

This suggests no reversed halves on the back…🤦‍♂️

Yes…but need to find a supplier who will do short order runs to a precise, bespoke design at an attractive price point…👍

We are always thinking about merch opportunities - the challenge on so many of them is that they need a minimum production run to make them viable & we can’t afford to speculate & be left with loads of unsold stock. What I will say is that I have always fancied a 1950’s style Rovers shirt myself & if I want one then I’m motivated to keep investigating…

I think there is a clue in the marketing material…one badge for each kit. I wouldn’t be surprised if the Maltese Cross is on the 150th kit. The 1970’s red rose, the town crest & the classic Rovers badge being the others…

Last year I was asked by Fraser Read if I wanted to participate in helping gather feedback for the 150th kits. We had a great meeting at Ewood prior to a home game, I wrote up loads of notes/photos & sent them to Fraser. Shortly afterwards he left Rovers & all communication with that group ceased so I’ve no idea what will finally emerge frankly. The plan was for 3 regular season kits & a special edition shirt (like the 125th) for the anniversary. If it doesn’t happen like that…then somebody prevented it…

Our 1st match against Brighton & Hove Albion will be available to view next Wednesday evening - 11/6/25 https://youtu.be/lJr9RAo2Ef4?si=RBzNBpqRCaIfiWF6

A little while back we were asked if we wanted to represent Blackburn Rovers in the inaugural talkSport Cup quiz competition…it didn’t take long for us to say yes & we will update you with our progress in this thread. Representing Rovers will be @sasumner & @Herbie6590 so wish us luck as we try to salvage something from our season! All the matches will be available on talkSport’s YouTube channel here Wish us luck…⚪️🔵

The Villa replay…

The previous round…

He joined us from Man U. Was one of our early guests on the podcast & was always very helpful to BRFCS. The day after he left, Rovers unfollowed us on Twitter which was a level of petty I always begrudgingly admired…😆

1979/80

The software changed & the records were set up in a format/version that was no longer supported. Essentially it needs a complete re-write. It’s on our list of things to do but it’s a big piece of work.

I’ve just bought a season ticket for my local cinema…23 films for £400 over the next ten months. Only thing is, the screening times can change at short notice making attendance planning quite challenging & I doubt I can make all 23. It also turns out that 15 of the advertised films to be shown will also be broadcast simultaneously on SkyCinema…that seems a bit strange but apparently all the movie chains are doing it now. Still, it’s a grand old local institution & I do like to support it. But, frankly the facilities aren’t what they used to be and many of my friends that used to go with me have lost interest so it’s not the community event it once was. They still sell all the usual stuff in the foyer but quite often there is a queue during the interval so there isn’t always time to get popcorn, a drink, go to the loo & get back to my seat in good time. It’s not the end of the world, but at the prices they charge you’d think they’d be better organised. The manager of the place quit recently after a disagreement about future strategy & they’ve brought in a bloke from France to take over. He got off to a dodgy start by showing a few arthouse French language films without even any sub-titles but he redeemed himself by showing a series of Marvel classics last month which won over many of the patrons. We are promised some more Hollywood blockbusters apparently in this next run so that will be nice but I must admit to feeling a little concerned to hear that the local film school has been engaged to produce movies…untried youngsters making their way in the industry…I mean it might work but how many George Lucases or Steven Spielbergs do you get in Blackburn? I’ll let you all know how it unfolds…👀

Last night was the death of Pepball IMO. PSG are so energetic, vibrant, fast, direct…no endless passing from side to side, just go straight for the jugular. I loved it & delighted for Luis Enrique. Delightful tifo after the game as well…

I’d DEFINITELY take the Burnley CEO gig…😉
