You really don't see any ulterior motives or potential benefits for 'The Coventry 3'? Really? I thought better of you in honesty, are you really that blindly naive? Examine the historical and current facts regarding the trio FFS! A blind man on a galloping horse could join up the bloody dots! Having a pop at Mercer does you no favours whatsoever, does 'tongue in cheek' mean anything to you? For the record, I'd never, ever want Rovers to lose ever, irrespective!!

Was that Ronnie, formerly of Marsh House Chippy?

Forget the price per plot Tony, whilst that is a figure at some point in the calculations, it's price per acre. Speaking of my own experience in Chorley, 12 years back: it starts at £1 million per acre. Factor in Ribble Valley and the potential increases, add in the acreage and there you go. That's just for the land. Then factor in other family connections/'friend' connections involved in the building trade and there's the additional potential profit. Well they can fuck off!!!

Bloody dead right!!!

In my considered opinion, it's about lining charlatan's pockets, period! Well we ain't Gillingham, Southend or Coventry City, WE'RE BLACKBURN ROVERS FC!!! Take bloody note!!!.....

Mick Duxbury, Danny Keough, Moran Brothers, downhill?...... 'twas a bloody good hiding of a team who'd just been crowned Lancashire Champions! (We were not allowed to enter any competition back then because of some dispute between The School and The FA) I totally endorse your Rovers based comments too, as do we all. We wish to help re-establish everything and are 'totally in peace', ideally no intentions of confrontation but with hearts and minds to do a 'proper job' without any ulterior motives whatsoever. It SHOULD be a 'no-brainer'......

The 'football' is just a bloody side show. Set of absolute bastards, they cannot be allowed to carry on with this. ......And all the while picking up huge salaries for underperforming, fucking fuming!!!

A good example of why "never go back": you more often than not fail in attempting to relive former glories.

I think they are on the payroll.

Head Boy too for my sins Rev!

A 5-0 stuffing that Tommy Duxbury described as the best schoolboy performance he'd ever witnessed says differently! 😉 I think you are spot on with your observations though too. Thanks for your input. I appreciate it.

'Love your women and drink your beer', went down a treat: she was even singing along!🤣 Funny thing is though, we've spent a lot of time in North Carolina over the years and 'shag' is actually a Carolinian dance: First time I encountered it was in 1980 as a Freshman at my first shin dig: A rather attractive, tall, blond, Southern belle sauntered up to me and asked "Would you like to shag?" I was gobsmacked and thought bloody hell, she's a bit forward and said, "sorry love no thanks, I'm just going out for a fag" Then all my mates thought I was batting for the other side!....Funny thing the English language!

JUST NEVER, EVER FORGET OR LOSE SIGHT OF THIS!:BRFC Big History.pdf

Allez Les Bleus, Les Sarladais et CA Brive aussi mon ami! Nous Sommes Les Rovers!! Les Clarets sont branleurs!! Je tu dit ça seulement!

Phew, I won't ask you how's your sister then! 😉🤣

Mike, work in progress as you can probably appreciate. It's pointless getting involved in finite detail and undertaking lots of planning, if you fall at the first hurdle. Suffice it to say that there are a whole host of ideas that would meet with everyone's approval, should we be fortunate enough to get a green light. The general idea is that we all 'paddle the same ship collectively and in the right direction' without ANY ULTERIOR MOTIVES WHATSOEVER but born out of love. It's a clean piece of paper, open to suggestions from all, if given the opportunity. However, with one deliberate motivating factor: anything would have to be for the benefit of Blackburn Rovers Football Club and every stakeholder, including the owners. That would be non-negotiable.

Thanks, Curiosity may have killed the cat here, are you Duncan who used to live with your parents in the late seventies in a cottage at the bottom of Mellor Brow?

You can't change the past: that's history. You can however influence the present and the future: there lies the challenge and bring it on.........

Just uncovered these 2 momentos amongst my hoard of 'stuff' and put them in my office, in pride of place, where they really should have been all along: 1987 signed ball 1995 signed ball. "Roll along Blackburn Rovers, Roll along, get the ball in the net where it belongs... de de dah", as my Grandad used to sing to me as I sat on his knee! WE ARE THE ROVERS!!!

Just stuck some 'Bob' on. It's early doors and I'm doing some potting up and sewing seeds: "Early one Morning the sun was shining, as I was laying in bed, wonder if I.............." bloody brill, I just love Bob Dylan! WE ARE THE FOOKING ROVERS!!!

I am the originator, 'ideas person', vision maker and leader of what has now become to be titled as The Old Blackburnians & Associated Partners, QEGS (1977-80), 'The Invincibles' Group of Friends. We have all been Rovers fans since school days, dating back to the early 1970s, friends and trust each other implicitly since the mid seventies, most of us played in QEGS Under 18 First X1 between 1977-80, where we we were undefeated for 2 seasons and generally acknowledged as the best team in the country, have divergent skillsets ranging from Presidents of Multi-national Corporations, doctors, Financial Directors, Retired Senior Police Officers, Magistrates etc. Most importantly if you cut any one of us, we would bleed blue and white and unequivocally we all trust one another. None of us have an ego, are particularly private people and have always chosen to watch our football predominantly sat in The Riverside, although one or two have joined the @arbitro ranks in the JWU! (mard arses!) No doubt some of you will have read my families Rovers following history dating back to 1919, I purposely didn't continue past 1960 because although my family continued to support BRFC, introducing me as a 5 year old in 1966, I felt that there were others on here that could tell the story, that I personally have been so proud to be a part of for 54 years, through thick and thin. Our plea to you is: engage with us regarding the future governance of BRFC, we have more than the relevant skillsets between us to be a success and would be prepared to undertake whatever is required for love and on a completely FOC basis. Our vision is for involvement with every single stakeholder/supporter of Blackburn Rovers, young and old, far and wide but backed by your financial clout. Wouldn't it be great if in 2025, the year of our 150 year anniversary, something of which we should all be proud,we were back as an established Premier League club, all supporters and united as one and singing from the same hymn sheet and paddling together in the same direction, you being revered instead of reviled by some, to welcome Real Madrid, Barcelona or Bayern Munich to Ewood Park with a gate of 30,000, as the culmination of a years longs worth of celebrations by all? In 1888, we were one of the 12 founder members of The Football League, "It's Preston, Blackburn, Burnley: it's where it all began" Madame Desai, you've read and endorsed my book 'A Century of Soccer' by Harry Berry, you know what it's all about! It can be done, over to you.......... WE ARE THE ROVERS! Best darrenrover

@Stonesrick, Why did you "Start Me Up''? "It's All Doom & Gloom" but as you say, "Wild Horses" wouldn't keep us away. We've no "Sympathy For The Devil" but "Baby, Please Don't Go". We're "Waiting on a Friend" to be appointed by "Far Away Eyes": MARK HUGHES' BLUE AND WHITE ARMY!!!

You're not wrong but what's the point of a bloody interview? What's he going to say that he's not already said, other than spout another load of insulting shite? We don't need to hear any more IMO, we've seen and heard more than enough. Just fuck off the lot of you.

At least we're all trying to cheer one another up and having a bit of a giggle, despite these bastards!! WE ARE THE ROVERS!!! MARK HUGHES' BLUE AND WHITE ARMY!!!

The 'injury' to Lenihan is also a blatant lie! Mowbray could not lie straight in bed, ask 'Colin Wanker'!!
