  1. I'd like some ingenuity too: "In light of the 'baby boom' due to lockdowns, we're offering every newborn at Royal Blackburn Hospital a free Rovers Home shirt. Their first season ticket, when you choose to bring them, will be free of charge (assuming you're an adult/senior, and they are still a junior)."
  2. Not remotely true, it's just not the place for the bigoted classism-based trolling that you're engaging in. Or any other ism for that matter.
  3. Based on your behavior, it's not a 'public school boys' thing. It's 'anyone that's not me' thing.
  4. Was it Darren Lewis? I thought it was Oliver Holt?
  5. There's a difference between taking the piss and being a dick for no particular reason. I learned that difference at QEGS, funnily enough.
  6. I wish my parents knew they were posh just because they sent me to QEGS. We'd have had it much easier.
  7. Personally I'd be behind any initiative to get fans to Ewood. Surely?
  8. I was going for Les Miserables, felt fitting 😅
  9. Even the darkest night will end and the Sun will rise.
  10. Dingle FIL: That Waggott fella's a chancer isn't he? Brockhall's not that big, just buy a Segway if you can't be arsed to walk.
  11. My perspective is more along these lines. If we're going to upgrade the training ground, spend £15m on the lower site and leave the top site alone (or upgrade that too). We can't claim to be ambitious and want to return to the PL with a downsized training ground that isn't exactly huge to begin with.
  12. No no no no. No no no no no he was a great performer! I was just yesterday pondering why he wasn't involved in the Vicar of Dibley documentary on UKTV Play this week. What a shame 😞 Only Geraldine, David, and Hugo left now 😞
  13. Didn't that prick try to insinuate boos aimed at him were aimed at the fact we were winning or some BS?
  14. God forbid someone marries someone they like, eh?
  15. A touch overhyped, but Christian was out of the blue and a great signing. No wonder they were so excited as I thought WWE had secured him.
  16. You like giving money to your mum, don't you? 😉

    Site adverts

    Not quite my point. You said that a content-based site is enjoying the fruits of its users labour, when it's arguably the opposite; users enjoy the fruits of the techies, admin, mods' labour. I'd describe it as relatively symbiotic. Re: the specific issue of ads. It's a choice between a site with ads (however they are delivered is out of our hands), a subscription-based site, or no site.

    Playing DA here: You ARE enjoying the fruits fruits of someone else's labour. That is the UNPAID labour of the techies (without whom there would be no BRFCS at all), the admin (ditto), and the mods (without whom the site wouldn't be kept a relatively civil experience- a major USP compared to other fansites). Users create content, fair enough. So do users of all social media platforms. The only ones I know of that don't use the same ad structure as BRFCS are Facebook, Twitter, and the like; ie: they have much bigger pockets than us. Re: donations there are 2 problems: 1. Some posters being more equal than others, ie: potential favouritism towards those who do donate. 2. Everyone begins with good intentions, but after donating their first tenner, they won't donate again without a subscription service (only then becausethey'veforgotten about it, being quick to cancel it as soon as they notice). A lesson learned very harshly in my time with Rovers Trust.
  19. Just be aware that a journalist's job is much more to sensationalise and generate clicks/views nowadays. I'm sure it's his genuine opinion, and he's entitled to say it even as a minority view (if anything making it more important), but I'm also sure he's tarted it up with nostalgia and bullshit as is his remit as a journo.
  20. I think we're hoping that BB's clumsy touch up front (albeit, he IS capable of holding the ball with his back to goal) could actually reignite Dack. It's a desperate throw of the dice, but it may work 🤷‍♂️
