Is there a way of getting a programme whilst neither attending nor being local?

Just getting this set up today but it's possible to pre-order now here.  As above, subscriptions are also available. Note that the issue is included in the previous subscription from last season too.

Super - I’ve ordered it.

It makes a nice change to have some efficiency linked to (albeit indirectly) the club!

eta - nearly put my foot in it!! - this website is very well run too.

😀👍

One more question…

If the day is deemed a success, is there a chance it will be repeated for a league game?

$64,000 question…but first, we have to make it a success…😉

Most attendees will be walk-ons I would think.

Weather will play a big part too.

Maybe the Trust needs to rush through an order for branded brollies 🧐🤔

What I like is this presumably is being organised by people giving up their time all will have their normal jobs. Already sounds better than anything people at the club have done and they get paid for it.

It’s the way this club is operated. Have a look at the latest Fans Forum minutes as proof of that. Tony Parkes tribute? Still being ‘looked into’ four years later. Engaging fans in outlying areas? The FF members themselves have to do the donkey work.

So of course matchday initiatives have to be sorted by fans too. Some number they have down there…

Because they care.

Yep. They were tagged in the almost identical Tweet I put out last week, and all the responses. A retweet would’ve been helpful.

Can you tweet something about buying a multi million pound free scoring striker please 😁

“BRFCS members have Crowdfunded a sum of £1000 so we will be bidding for Alf Common on behalf of the club…”

Siggurdson out for 8 weeks with a groin strain!! is the injury curse on Rovers continueing into the new season. I will be at Ewood Saturday for the friendly against Girona. It sounds like a fun day out with Rovers trust taking over for the day, and I can check out the new boys see how they perform.

New boys? More like just one.

Talking of decent strikers, I hear Trevor Francis has died (Birmingham City and Notts Forest) he new were the net was.

A £1,000, how about getting a round in at the beer tent. It would make it an even funner day.

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

The match attendance might fit in a beer tent!

Those who are coming down…check out our pre-match warm up gear on our stall behind the BBE…⚪️🔵

“You will find us by our banner…”

[tomphil]

For those who can't come down is this gear available anywhere else ?

Looks good.

I second this, can’t make the game unfortunately but wouldn’t mind some of the gear on offer.

At the moment it’s just us wearing the gear…partly to identify us as the stallholders but also to test out the interest if anyone fancies buying some. Your replies make it more likely we’ll do something…

If there is sufficient interest - we really would need a minimum of 10 orders - we can add these to our range of merch that we sell on here.

So if anyone else likes the look of it - add a comment on here then I can contact our suppliers…⚪️🔵   @tomphil @Polky
