Ist shirt in the Premiership, very dark blue with MacEwans Lager on the front.

They even gave the manager (Kean) a contract containing a bonus if we were relegated to the Championship and another one if we were relegated to Div1!! Explain that one away all these who think things were above board. At the time we were a solid and established Premier League club. That suggests to me they knew what was coming.

My abiding memory of Flowers is him running into Dougan about a second after the start of the 1960 Cup Final and driving his knee into Dougan's injured thigh. Just to make sure! We didn't even get a free-kick for that!

Whether Rafiq is a saint or a sinner, nothing excuses the treatment he got from his fellow team-mates at Yorkshire which has shown that racism is wide-spread in English cricket. No wonder we don't benefit from having young Asian or West indian cricketers coming through in numbers. That's to our detriment in case people haven't noticed.

Nobody hated him. We just thought he was a poor player. If anything, we blamed the manager for signing him.

They probably think is our fault in that we refuse to believe its no longer 1995. It certainly won't be their fault.

Oh yeah---Andrews!! How could I have forgotten him? Did Delfuenso get booed? I know I came close!

Dobing,Taylor,Eckersley,Clayton(of all people), Connelly, Coddington,Wilcox are a few Rovers players I've seen booed at some time or another. We're a miserable set of bastards sometimes I admit( not uniquely) ! But Brereton has had it easy!!

They accept he's dazzled but think £5M will do it!!

How is that weird? I'd have said "consistent." I say it as I see it too and call out bullshit whenever I read it.

He did say, more than once, that he'd guaranteed Rovers for the future after he'd gone. I expect he thought the Walker Trust would act differently than it did.

Of course-- we can both say what we think! Is Arbitro not entitled to one then!

Yeah, it would be.

Here we go again! What % of your posts criticise Rovers fans? Quite a high one I'd have thought. Brereton has been very well supported by the fans despite flopping for a long period of time.

I personally am going to have to struggle very hard to hang in there that long!

They say its the hope that kills you. Sorry Revidge but we've has false dawns before, usually about some group or other looking to buy the club. Nothing ever happens. Except that things continue to get worse of course. I'll believe it only when I see it

I wrote this back in early July. Looks like I've got my answer. 😬

Have the cleaners been replaced?

Indeed!

Which is the same as 10000 at £500 which we wouldn't get. Not to mention the benefits to everyone from having some atmosphere at Ewood.

Hard to take that one. Going into the competition I really thought we would win it. 4 terrific performances in a row and I was sure we would! That's 20-20 though, anything can happen in any given match. Would be a farce if Australia won it after the way we mauled them. I suppose you have to get mauled at the right time, not a semi-final!

What about Frank at Norwich? Anyone think he could save them?

We have enough crocks already, and in his position.

All about stinging what they hope will be PNE's 5000. Much rather we charged less and got 5000 more of our own!

Roverite's dreams coming true! Go Venkys! 😭
