Season tickets 2022/23
Claytons Left Boot replied to JHRover's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
They reckon 7,820 have been sold on the other site. No explanation or source, just the aforementioned figure. -
Well done Glen, compelling reading. The best series of posts ever on this forum. Can’t wait for your next updates around September time.

This could be a BRFCS comedy sketch.. I initially replied to 1864’s post thinking (with a reference to 1970) that he had mistaken Johnny Price for a fullback. I now realise that he was, in fact, talking about Chris Price. When you then stated that Price was a fullback, I countered with the info on Johnny Price, the winger. It was neither a tongue in cheek post, nor a patronising one. I was trying to make light of it, hence the smiley. 😆😆

Celtic v Rovers UEFA Cup tie 2002

Founded as a means to fund a charity set up to eliminate poverty within the immigrant community of Glasgow. Have always had a policy of signing players from any denomination or background, unlike (cough, cough) another club I could mention. Yep, certainly seems like a vile club to me. -

Kit supplier and sponsor from 21/22
Claytons Left Boot replied to alex l's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Not quite sure on the home kit yet (I’m nearly there) but the second and third kits are mint, as is the training gear. Polos and t-shirts look superb. Credit where it’s due and all that. -

The Wigan local rag is running with the Latics ‘closing in’ on Nyambe, bulling the situation up for them by saying they have beaten off competition from two French clubs and two in the top half of the Championship. Nothing more specific than that. A loss but not a great loss for me. A decent enough Championship player but one that should be able to be replaced assuming that we get our fingers out and do actually that. I’m hoping that both JDT and GB, with their Scandinavian links, are working on it. We were told that there was a ‘healthy’ budget and, whilst you obviously don’t want to show your hand in these matters, the lack of dialogue within the club (from owners to hierarchy down at Ewood) continues to be most frustrating for us, the fans. It would be great to be a ‘normal’ club once again.

Best of luck this afternoon Chadster. You’ll probably be there now as I type this. Give us a ‘Breaking News’ story at midnight. We’ll all tune in and send BRFCS trending into orbit. Just type :- (a) Yay, whooooohooo fucking whooo!! For good news and… (b) Bullllllllllshitttttttttt!! For bad news, before providing FULL, SPECIFIC details as soon as you can.

Great photo of our following on Saturday. The God Save The Queen and anti pope goading of the Celtic fans by that group of 17 year old, weed smoking pea brains could have caused problems for Rovers fans after the game. Plenty of Rovers fans in blue and white walking down the Gallowgate after the game, good natured banter and chatting with Celtic supporters. Just how it should be. -

Regarding Gallagher, I have been very critical of him over the last couple of seasons but there is definitely a player in there somewhere. Let’s hope JDT and Co can get it fully out in the open. He took his goal well and, in the second half, had two great chances to put the ball away again. Whilst he didn’t score, at least he was on target and made the keeper work, rather than blazing it wide. If we can KEEP him and Brereton together up front, I’ll be happy enough. -

It would be nice to cut Carter a bit of slack. Jota was on fire yesterday and has been a brilliant signing for Celtic, after having him on loan last season. If he continues to impress, it won’t be too long before some big clubs, and a big money transfer, come calling. Carter is a big lad and there was some decent play from him at times. Pickering, though, had a shocker and Celtic certainly targeted our left flank with Abada giving him a torrid time in the first half. The trend continued in the second half with the overlapping full back, Ralston, adding to his woes. He won’t forget that game in a hurry and we desperately need a replacement and pdq. Overall, though, I was pleased with a draw as I feared a heavy defeat before the game. Not only are Celtic a quality side, in the context of Scottish football, they are also well ahead of us in the fitness stakes as the new season approaches. Most of yesterdays starting eleven will form the nucleus of our side against QPR and they haven’t had too much more than sixty minutes against Accrington, whilst Celtic have played two Competitive games in Austria and one in the Czech Republic. A good workout and an enjoyable game. -

A great start by Rovers yesterday but once Celtic got over the shock of conceding early, they got into gear and were well on top in the first period. It was to be expected, though, as this was a very strong Celtic side with really only Starfelt missing at the back where he usually partners Carter-Vickers. Dolan wasted a great opportunity to lob Joe Hart, sending his shot over the bar, but, other than the odd corner, Celtic weren’t troubled again. I thought Rovers handled Kyogo very well, limiting him to two or three half chances and keeping him off the score sheet. This lad is lightning fast and has an eye for goal, so credit to the lads at the back for that. Rovers came into the game more in the second half and Gallagher missed two good chances to add to his tally, testing Siegrist who had, by now, replaced Joe Hart. When Celtic took off more players to gradually morph into their second eleven, I sensed we would get back in the game and Brereton duly obliged to make it 2-2. Rovers also made several changes in the second period and, all in all, it was a good workout for our young lads. Second best in the first half but we certainly held our own later on. It was competitive stuff and two or three yellow cards were handed out. Special mention to the superb, sizeable, noisy Rovers support hemmed in to the corner. Never stopped singing all game. A great day out, finished off with another couple of pints in the Horseshoe Bar in the city centre. Last time in there was for the cup game in 2002. -

More a history/heritage thing with the Celtic support. Second, third, fourth generation Irish folk living in Scotland choosing to follow a club founded by an Irish priest with the intentions of getting rid of the poverty, within the Irish community, in the east end of Glasgow. Can’t speak for Rangers though. -

If you walk to the right (east) of the ground on the above plan, go three hundred yards down London Road to the junction with Springfield Road and there are a couple of boozers there. Turn left and walk (north) down Springfield Road, another is on the right after two or three minutes. Carry on down Springfield Road to the end, only a few minutes walk, and you come to the Gallowgate. To the left of the junction is the Fiveways Inn which is ok. A bit more to the left, down Gallowgate, is the Forge Shopping Centre where there is ample parking and the outside parking areas are free, or at least the bit I used was when I was there in April.
