Does anybody know when this is made available? I just checked and cannot see that they are available, but I had bought one by this point last summer

Naturally hostile, and out to ruin the party. I'd hope for a Burnley-esque turn out for this one and really raise the roof

Good day all! I know I may not be everyones cup of tea but I come to you in hope - I have started an over ambitious project in order to celebrate Blackburn Rovers 150th anniversary hoping to wrangle 150 Blackburn Rovers fans to record a special Blackburn Rovers memory - whether it was a match, a player, a goal or just an occasion. I am looking for one memory for one day as we edge closer to November 5th to celebrate Rovers founding. Why am I here? Well I hope I can convince at least one of you to submit your own memory. Nothing fancy or spectacular required - just a recorded video of you reliving your Blackbun Rovers experience. If this is not for you - I dont blame you - however if you want to help in acheiving this goal of getting some fans together to celebrate something special then please drop your Rovers memory here: https://cutt.ly/brfcmem Hoping for a year to remember and would love to hear your Blackburn Rovers memories. Regards Dirk

Just as a bit of fun, with next Thursdays Fixture release and the Carabao Cup First round Draw (also on the Thursday), I thought we could play a little game of... Guess the draw for Round 1 of the Carabao Cup. 1 answer only, the winner gets to try on @Herbie6590 glasses at the first home game of the 25/26 season! Good luck 😄

Figured I'd start a topic for this seeing as it starts tonight. Anyone else planning on watching this? I reckon it's gonna be a really good tournament, I think teams are going to take it seriously. I feel no affinity towards City or Chelsea so I've decided to follow Bayern for the tournament seeing as our England captain is leading the line. Looking forward to seeing Messi tonight on the world stage again.

Hi All, Looking to buy a signed Rovers shirt, and wanted to check to see if signatures are legit or fake. Does anyone have the knowledge on signatures etc? Thanks

Attended the Canadian Shield games yesterday, as the guest of the New Zealand Association. It was there that I met Ryan Nelsen. We had a pleasant chat and he stated that he loved his time with Rovers. A really nice bloke.

I have for sale (proceeds to Macmillan Cancer Support) my retro genuine 1980s Rovers Training Jacket. In excellent condition except for a few small marks inside the collar (see pic). Labelled Large, imo it's more of a roomy Medium size Selling for £20, I will pay postage. Please reply below or pm. Thanks in advance.

Hi just w9ndered if anyone knew what the walk was coming from feniscowles down livesey branch road toward Ewood predominantly women in r0vers shirts has flags etc Just wonderes

I was wondering what the first Rover’s match everyone attended was. Mine was at home vs Liverpool 15th October 1994.

If anyone ends up with a spare please let me know. Face value and a nice few beer vouchers…. Thanks RTID

Just thought of a collective term for the executive team/directors down at Ewood. Thinking about the forthcoming season ticket prices and the fact that they definitely won’t be as cheap as those at Preston and Bolton, I was looking for a word meaning clever, beginning with the letter ‘k.’ AI came up with keen. Was hoping for a better one but it will suffice. Obviously, they will now be known officially as the Wankers.

I watched a very interesting podcast on YouTube a few weeks ago regarding the increasing number of football clubs, in the UK and beyond, being taken over by investors from the United States. You’ll have to forgive the Celtic slant on this as, in the main, it’s a discussion between Tino of The Celtic Exchange and his guest David Low and their thoughts on the possible takeover at Rangers by the San Francisco 49ers. The discussion has a much wider relevance, however, because David Low outlines some of the reasons for these takeovers and just what happens once the investors take control. David Low for many years has worked in the finance industry. In the early 1990s he was an investment analyst and was instrumental in being a member of the ‘rebels’ who ousted the old board at Celtic, paving the way for Fergus McCann to takeover and drag Celtic kicking and screaming into the late 20th century. In the podcast, he outlines the fact that there are numerous billionaires in the US who are looking to invest in sporting institutions, whether they be football clubs, baseball clubs, ice hockey, American football and so on. Far more billionaires than available clubs over there and that’s why they have been turning their attention to the UK and elsewhere. If the takeover at Rangers were to go ahead, he thinks it will follow what he calls the ‘little cheque, big cheque’ method. This is where the investors purchase the football club with a little cheque. They don’t invest much in the team but they do improve the stadium facilities, the corporate structure etc and use their expertise to streamline the club and get it in a much better financial shape. Having done all this and made the club more attractive, they then sit back and wait for another bid for the club further down the line. They then sell and receive their big cheque. This is what is currently happening at Leeds, where the SF49ers have also recently taken control. A bit different at Leeds (as opposed to in Scotland) as the riches of the English Premier League await if, as expected, Leeds get promoted either this season or in the very near future. The 49ers may choose to sell, once Leeds get to the promised land and, therefore, get their big cheque or indeed stay in control if they feel they can milk the club further. Not all takeovers follow the little cheque, big cheque method. They’re all different and some investors are in it for the long haul, although others will always sell after ploughing in considerable millions if the price is right. There was talk, a while back on here, of two approaches made to BRFC by supposed interested parties (unaware if they were from the US) but they probably never got past the phone call stage, as Venky’s refused to take matters forward. The relevance of all this, to us, is that it dispels the myth that there would be no one waiting in the wings to take us over. The myth that 98% of our support trot out if ever the discussion arises. We are an attractive proposition. Other than a thorough cleansing, we have a decent sized, attractive, relatively modern stadium, a Category One status academy and a part dormant support that would return both if we again got to the PL and/or Venky’s got shunted into oblivion. How nice would it be to also shunt Waggott, Suhail & Co into oblivion, to be replaced with a competent, forward thinking board and start to grow the club again. No wonder the above approaches never got past the telephone stage. I’m not too good at doing links but the podcast mentioned above is on YouTube, the account on that platform is The Celtic Exchange and, if you scroll down/across, it’s about the 8th one down with ‘Transatlantic Takeovers’ in the title.

New fanzine coming out in spring. Hoping to celebrate 14th May 1995 by hearing some supporter stories from the day, especially if you were at Anfield and featured in any of the footage. So many questions! Who had the Greece flag?! Full suit, shirt and tie combo? A Liverpool shirt? Umbro Top Guy telling Flowers it's 1-1 at Upton Park! Recognise anyone? Already tracked down 5 names, including Martin Smith and Andy "fucking hell" Jones from the iconic post-Redknapp image. Any more insight or tales are very much appreciated!

Hi, Rovers fans! I have a signed Blackburn Rovers shirt, and I’m trying to figure out whose autographs are on it. Maybe some of you recognize the signatures or can help identify the season it’s from. I’ve attached photos—any insights would be greatly appreciated! I’m also curious to know how much this shirt might be worth to collectors.

I once defended myself in court and cross-examined the police officer who put me there. In the mid to late 90’s I used to have a season ticket, the stadium was full and lots of people travelled from far and wide to the ground on match days, mostly by car. This is what landed me in court. https://www.stuartgrimshaw.co.uk/2025/02/26/my-perry-mason-moment/

Disclaimer: I'm not of the TikTok generation but I'm retired and have got time to fuck about. Lots of good Rovers content on there (obviously some shite as well), here's a few screenshots I picked up in about 10 minutes.

How does the point system work for away tickets? I am a season ticket holder, but not a member. I have 301 points. Derby away is 290 points. The website says I don't meet the requirements for this match. Is that because I am not a member? Thanks I advance.

Just looking at the run ins of the teams in contention. I know there are no easy games in the championship, but everyone seems to have lots of tricky games with the teams around them West Brom have got Leeds, QPR, Burnley, Norwich, Sunderland, Bristol, Watford, Coventry Bristol City have Middlesbrough, QPR, Sheffield United, Norwich, Burnley, Watford, West Brom, Sunderland, Leeds Sheffield Weds have Coventry, Burnley, Sunderland, Norwich, Sheffield United, Rovers, Boro, Watford Boro have Watford, Bristol City, QPR, Rovers, Leeds, Sheffield W, Norwich, Coventry Coventry have Sheffield W, Sunderland, Sheffield U, Burnley, West Brom, Boro Norwich have Rovers, Sheffield W, Bristol, West Brom, Sunderland, Burnley, Boro Watford have Boro, Bristol, West Brom, Burnley, Rovers, Sheff W We have Norwich, Boro, Sheffield W, Sunderland, Watford, Sheff U After tonight’s win adding in QPR: they have Sheff U, West Brom, Boro, Leeds, Bristol, Burnley and Sunderland. Sheff W, Bristol and QPR’s run in looks brutal. Think Boro maybe have the best run in so may take a spot QPR and Coventry are in good form but have tough fixtures coming up. Who has momentum? Who do you think will make the play offs?

I'm coming up next week and have bought a ticket for Argyle at home on the 15th. Do I have to physically print the ticket or can I just use my phone to present the ticket at the turnstile?

Now that the January window is closed, the focus of the board at Rovers should be straight on to sorting player contracts. Below are some of those expiring in the near future; 2025 Weimann Batth Dolan Ribeiro Forshaw 2026 Travis Brittain Tronstad Hedges (after year option is triggered) Hyam (after year option is triggered) We need to get the majority of these players signed up on new terms... and at the earliest convenience. Anyone have much faith in Waggott or Rudy in this department? Can't say I do...

When are we expecting to see the next batch through? Latest Sky Sports Selections Notification Selections for matches scheduled after the first weekend in March will be made by the broadcasters on a four-week rolling basis starting from 1 February (e.g. a selection for the first weekend in April will be selected in the first weekend in March). The selections will then be announced to supporters following an agreement with all required stakeholders within seven days. Reads to me like it could well not be till the first week of Feb? Wouldn't put it past them to announce them after the FA Cup 4th round.

Hi all I purchased this shirt on eBay today, just wondering if anyone knows when it was used? Obviously not one of the first team kits. Assuming for a charity match or one off of some kind? Thank you

Watch until the end

Amazing by our little club.
