My name is Fredrik and I am 23 years old - Born and raised in Oslo, Norway and I am currently studying Photography here in Oslo.

I started following Rovers when I was 15 years old - before that I didnt really have any big interest for football - apart from watching Man United from time to time, mainly because of Ole Gunnar Solskjær, due to massive exposure here in Norway. But I was never a fan really.

WHY Rovers? Many people ask me that all the time, and I dont really remember a precise date or a moment where I all of a sudden decided, but I remember having a lot of affection for the beautiful shirt. I quickly became an avid fan and Rovers have been a part of my life every day ever since really. I have a lot of shirts, scarfs and my bathrobe and bed sheets are all Rovers=)

Around the time I started to follow Rovers, my best friend found his own team; Manchester City - together we have been on a few trips over the years to watch Premier League football - the very first time I went to Ewood Park was November 2006 against Tottenham. I was very lucky to witness one of the memorable blasts from Tugay Very happy about that one, although the game ended 1-1. Needless to say, my personal favourite Rovers player is The Maestro=)

Last time I was over was the enjoyable 3-1 match against Liverpool last season - one of the very very very very very very very very very very very few highlights under The Clown whos name is not worthy to be mentioned. It was a good night to be a Rover though...

I was looking forward to going over this season, but as things has developed into a nightmare I have better things to use my money on than wasting it on Venkys.
