The only disappointment I have is I wished they'd gone with this, nod to the 50/60s also

I like it, wish they'd used the town crest though.

A map of Blackburn town centre from 1910 showing three PH (public houses) on the corners of King William Street and Lord Street. One of these had to be the St Leger Hotel, presumably the one to the left of where it says 373 (where Derian House charity shop is)

I do hope they put the town crest on this shirt, got a feeling it could be a 'good un'. Green with white accents (Hero logo/Sponsor/trim) I'd bet

As a proud Blackburnian of nearly 40 years I have to admit…. I have no idea where those tiles are! and if Blackburn is famous for those tiles then it’s gone completely over my head.

That sponsor ruins it no matter what

Genuine question. Our records on 'giving players another year' or 'not giving players another year' in the 30+ bracket. Andi Weimann and Danny Batth - to be determined, but doesn't look good at this stage. Adam Forshaw - to be determined Kyle McFadzean - should have just been a 1/2 season signing. Daniel Ayala - 25 games for Rovers in 22/23, wasn't retained, went to Rotherham United (relegated - 7 apps for The Millers) Stuart Downing - a season too far, should have just been the one year, 2 starts and 16 sub appearances in 2020/21, though COVID had a huge impact.

Forshaw is actually younger than both Weimann and Batth. As a squad depth option on a cheap deal who will mentor/fill in, its not the worst. It isn't exactly inspiring though!

Burnleys fixture release gives us some clues as to Rovers fixtures. Usually when Burnley are at home, Rovers are away and vice versa for policing purposes. Therefore using this logic Home - Weekend of November 8th (closest to 5th November) for 150th Anniversary, New Years Fixture, Last game of the season Away - First game of the season, Boxing Day,

It’s so easy to go down divisions in sport, yet brutally hard to go back upwards. Rovers Women’s team have gone back a generation today. No matter what you think of women’s football, it’s a bad look and a narrow minded, short term decision. Another tremendously embarrassing day for our once proud football club.

A farewell to Goodison Park, the first away ground I ever did, Everton 0-0 Rovers (26/9/98) a ground full of history no doubt, but an awful fan experience as witnessed on my last visit to L4 for Everton 2-3 Rovers (Paul Ince’s first game in charge - 16/8/08) as we were on the back row of the lower tier and could barely see the pitch! Hope Rovers get an away day at Bramley Moore Dock soon!

The Ruel Fox effort? I always think the Peter Beardsley save in the first half is the most underrated. Doesn't even make some of the highlights!

Which one? 🤣
