[Archived] Roar & Roarina

[cletus]

My girlfriend`s son asked where the mascots have disappeared to on match days?

Does anybody know?

I reckon if Roar & Roarina have been retired from active duty, Venkys could possibly introduce a new Bernie Clifton-style chicken mascot....

a giant chicken with somebody in a rovers shirt riding it

(btw...i`m not being serious)

[dj54nna]

I know it's all nice and politically correct to have a male and female mascot, but is Roarina really necessary?

She looks like a blue and white cow. It's embarrassing.

No idea where they've gone though.

[Tom]

They have been retired due to the bad press associated with one of the men inside the roar costume. They will most likely be replaced before the new season.

:lol:

I think the reason they have gone is something to do with the guy dressed as Roar getting in trouble with the police... was in the LT if I remember rightly!

[dj54nna]

I don't see why we should pay anyone to dress up in a lion suit.

We should make it a punishment/incentive for the worst player of the week to have to wear it. It's a win-win. Players will try a little harder to avoid the shame and Keith Andrews will have a purpose in life for a bit.

Brilliant!

Its something I would expect from Holloway.

[Hughesy]

Roar got caught having his end away with a young girl....nobody knows if 'he smashed it' but it seems like he was 'hanging out the back of it'.

Roarina has since left him due to his bad behaviour!

Something to do with a 15 yr old boy in the telegraph

Guys, you're talking about an on going court case which public speculation could influence.

Here is the LET story

http://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/news/blackburndarwenhyndburnribble/8439846.Blackburn_Rovers_lion_mascot_in__child_sex_arrest_/?ref=rss

... and anything not mentioned in that needs to be proved fact before being mentioned here.

[Hughesy]

But thats boring Glenn!!

She was better at football than Roar when they used to take pens at the BBE

[Derby Blue]

A new mascot will be announced for the Asia Trophy in the summer, according to the fans forum minutes on the official site.

I guess we'll be without one until then.

[Ste B]

The Mascot will be announced well before the asia cup.

Will Venky the Chicken be popular ?

Make Roberts play in one - he couldn't do any worse.

[Cocker]

Ah bugger. My lad carries his roar teddy around with him and was looking forward to seeing him when he goes to a match (another year off yet at least).

He talks about seeing him more than the football - but I found this a great way to brainwash him into supporting us.

Ah well.

Does it come with a tangy sause?

[roversmum]

Here we go get your thinking caps on, lads and lasses hopefully no chickens ...

[Majiball]

He will be with my air rifle.

I don't see why we need a new mascot, surely all we need is a new man to go inside the outfit?

People assocciate the news with the character though not the man inside.

I imagine most of the entrants will be chickens, in reality nothing lends itself easily to us so we should have a dog, called Rover, who lives at Ewood Bark. Hopefully kids have better idea's than I do

[Iceman]

Put Cocker in a costume

So people believe that a giant blue lion allegedly assaulted a boy. If that is how society views these things nowadays, well I just hope matt smith never does anything naughty, I'd miss Doctor Who.

[Tom]

Not literally but just look at the telegraph article, there's a huge pic of Roar and the court case isn't something Rover's want to be continually associated with the club, quite understandable really.

[Cocker]

Put Cocker in a costume

Some would say my going out clothes are enough of a costume that I wouldnt need to dress up.

Does anyone remember Arte? It was a big blackburn badge that walked around - not good for windy days though.

I am sure I have a picture somewhere.

[roversmum]

I really fear we're going to end up with a chicken

Rover the dog sounds a good idea.

That Villa mascot was annoying me last week, moth eaten looking thing I shudder to think what might have been lurking in it's mane.
