Duggie came on & just voted for himself 😆

Let's leaven the mood by remembering this...

This was the club badge when I first started going to Ewood in the 60's - it was on decals in the Nuttall St stand for sure & started being used on the programme (replacing the town crest) in 67/68. The Tudor rose badge is the first (non-town crest) badge I recall on the shirt - replaced eventually by "the club badge".

NEVER underestimate the power of "Marketing" Parson 😉

We have M, L & 2XL left...£63 inc P&P - DM me if you want one...

On a separate but related note...if BRFCS sold a "Bob Crompton*" shirt for £60 - could I bank on at least 50 of you buying it ? Because if you will...😉 *more Cambridge Blue...white half on the LHS (over the heart)

Someone at the club (probably in marketing) has said something along the lines of Marketing Guru: "If we market another blue & white halved shirt it won't sell as well as a differentiated product will...there is a belief that we wore a white shirt once...we should produce a white shirt as the anniversary kit then we don't cannibalise sales of this season's home kit..." SP: "Make sure you bump the price..." MG: "On it..."

OK...the badge first worn by (some) of our players 😉 (I do admire pedantry BTW...it ensures accuracy...🫡)

I agree with this entirely - the kit consultation group (that was almost entirely ignored) made this exact point...I wanted the Bob Crompton shirt for our anniversary kit...we might have to do a BRFCS version then eh ? 😉

Because it has been documented (albeit only in writing) that it was our 1st badge...

It certainly wasn't a criticism...it was an observation that we seem to be looking for a stick to beat the club with & I suspect you too are exasperated at the circular nature of this discussion 😉

Bit late on here with this but the POTM was Yuki… MOTM template.mp4

Agreed…he can rightly criticise Steve Dale, Dai Yongge & Chansiri so by comparison, Venky’s look supportive. If they owned Brighton his view would be different.

@Parsonblue has repeatedly posted in this thread with details of the minutes of the formation meeting. Just look higher up this page. We seem to be repeating ourselves in this thread every few pages…🤷‍♂️

There are photographs in this thread of the team at Alexandra Meadows wearing shirts with the badge

A glorious shirt...one we recommended for the 150th commemoration....

There are just 2 x Medium (38”), 1 x Large (40”) & 1 x 2XL (46”) remaining in stock. Those measurements are seam to seam - there is some give in the material so a Large may be OK for someone who wears 42” tee shirts that fit snugly for example. Anybody wanting one - please PM me on here & I’ll sort it for you - £63 inc P&P to UK addresses.

Page 3 of this very thread has a couple of sources. The lack of cameras in the era leaves room for debate.

Actually discussed on today’s Football Ramble podcast…😆

The minutes read as an adversarial process. What should be positive, energising, engaging & aimed at stoking up & motivating the fanbase reads like a litany of excuses offered up by a poorly performing sales rep explaining why they missed their target. Have done with it…the members really need to resign en bloc & as said elsewhere subject themselves to a public ballot.

My greetings card to the club...& more importantly its supporters...
