[Archived] Pubescent Cheerleaders Next Season

[Billy Castell]

So our club are probably going to hire 10 year old girls to do cheerleading then. Who manages the entertainment before and during matches? Jonothan King? Will Gary Glitter be doing a few tunes at half time? Please God don't let this happen.

Penalty shootouts aginst the reserve keeper are the way forward. Random seat numbers are drawn out of a hat. At least the keeper could have a proper warm up before the second half, just in case.

[Sparky Marky]

They should get the academy youngsters from both teams to play a 15 minute friendly. Bring on the little nets and away we go.

[Darth]

Take the emphasis away from the big screen.

Get some thumping music on.

[Manc Rover]

We could have half time comedians - Burnley FC will probably accept bookings!

[CAPT KAYOS]

Maybe we could try and have fans involved , how about a huge game of British Bulldogs on the pitch?

Now we are talking - anybody want to join me against the Citeh fan from the other week.

Sorry Sg ...I see you mentioned about the school penalties in you original post

[bubblerrovers]

We should do what they do at Brentford, get loads of cones around centre circle with a bull in the middle , get home and away fan to stand in opposite corners and have 5 shots each, the nearer the centre the more points you get, may not sound great but very very funny if have a good commentator and its always good banter. Cheap entertaining fun, especially when away is rubbish

[Uxbridge rover]

Why not miss out the 15 min half time break and play straight through,that way all those people that leave early can stay for the whole match ??????????????

[Yan]

no no no no no no NOOOOOO.

it's bad enough having to see this at the wigan away games! tacky and awful idea.

if anything they should turn down the ear drum splitting music at half time that renders most conversation impossible...granted i sound like a bit of an old man saying that, but on the rare occasion i can actually make games i like actually discussing whats gone on...or anything other than having my ear drums pulverised by whatever god awful rubbish radio rovers decides to inflict on everyone!

best way to improve half time?

monkeys...racing on greyhounds.

bish bash bosh-sorted.

Personally, I love to watch "professional" cheerleading.

They makes very wonderful atmosphere.

However, dub-miserable performance are so painful thing of seeing .

Moreover, I have uncomfortable sense to watch the Girls who comes to stadium with clothes like undergarment ...

sexy underwear, bra-vest etc (and their parents to permit)... they are more revolt than Cheerleaders.

after all, I think the cheerleader doesn't suits Rovers (not suits any British Sports).

[ABBEY]

10-14 year olds ..jessus h christ!!!!!

the day ewood dies!!!!!

[allrovertheworld]

Half Time Kiss, camera goes round the ground and focuses on two people sat next to each other, they then have to give each other a kiss of any form they like....everyone cheers and its pi$$ funny when its two fellas and they won't do it (fair enough).

They did this at a rugby game i was at in Wellington NZ and it was very funny.

My views on 14 year old cheerleaders...no thanks it is pretty bad taste and i bet the poor girls get very cold. I havn't got kids but i wouldn't want my young daughter dancing around half naked in front of beer chugging rovers' fans.

Penalty shoot out sounds mint to me.

That's just cruel.

How's about semi-naked Cheerleaders, aged 18+, doing a penalty shoot out at half time. They then have to kiss each other before partaking in British Bulldog, but riding on the back of greyhounds (they're stronger than they look you know), with a brass band playing The Final Countdown in the background. The Cheerleaders then do the Crossbar challenge before they are attacked by the angry bull, last Cheerleader standing is the winner.

This ladies and gentlmen this is the future. I’ll be at the bar.

Poll added. I intend to use these figure (if I'm proved right) to highlight just how the unpopular the idea is to the club.

Maybe the idea is that cheerleaders will bring in a whole new section of the community to Ewood, people who have never been to a football match in their lives, have no interest in the sport and, therefore, are unlikely to ever visit brfcs.

This poll is clearly biased against this wonderful marketing strategy by Rovers.

Been tried at Ewood before.

Years ago someone left the cones on the pitch by accident and they beat us two nil.

[cletus]

What about a slight move away from cheerleaders & have half-time poll-dancers?

You could have them doing a routine up & down the Blackburn End goal posts

[Exiled_Rover]

If you are going to adopt an Idea from American sports, just get some kid dressed up in a blue and white halved dog outfit to roam teh stands during the game entertaining the kids.....

(and yes, that is a joke)

I'd love to adopt that jacuzzi idea they have at Chase Field. Perfect for a mid-winter fixture.

And where is the option about having fit men prancing around the pitch at half time???

You don't want much Hannah do you? You've already got 22 of them doing that for 90 minutes!

Morten's prancing for 90 minutes isn't enough for you?

I can see the amusment of this in a surreal Monty Python kind of way. Having a troupe of professional dancers performing various kinds of dancing whilst disguised as Graham Poll could be the start of a new craze. Chelsea could have trapeze artists doing their thing whilst looking like Mark Clattenberg, or Newcastle could have a magician who looks like Uriah Rennie. The possibilities are endless, although a girl band made to resemble Pierluigi Collina may be difficult.

Are you asking for volunteers Hannah? Howzabout the BRFCs Beerleaders??

[Hannah]

Obviously when the game is on I am concentrating on the football not what their legs look like and anyway you could hardly describe the 11 Rovers players as fit - some of them are but others..... well at least they can play football!

[roversmum]

Ha-ha, Cletus nice one! Can you get them out of the pub, though?

I like to watch the players warm up. However, I think they've cottoned on to my checking their credentials because they're always over near the Riverside these days. Plus, Mr Roversmum has developed a habit of making us late so we don't arrive until just before the start of the match .............................

On a different but related issue, scantily clad children/teenagers are not going to encourage our Asian friends to Ewood and could in fact have the opposite effect.
