Remember folks this is Rovers founding as a Club not it's first reported game. I believe we are potentially on to History changing,recorded info here.

Thank you CLB....THREE Rovers History Books spanning 55 years,all claim founded 1874. November 1875 is nearly 12 months out.

Sure CLB but both Books clearly claim the year 1874...that for me is no accident or mistype. Scarcity of the said Books factored, I can't believe this has never been questioned before!.

Be interesting to hear Rovers Historian Mike Jackmans ( a member of this Parish I do believe😉) opinion on this....

Thank you Mick,now then Rovers fans... That's no coincidence!! Just missed out on this little Gem recently at auction,an 1884 Rovers Season ticket from Leamington St..sold for nearly 1k

Btw..... NO mention of White Shirts with Maltese Crosses...just the famous old blue n white quaters.

I have recently been lucky enough to have come into my possession a copy of what is believed to have been our Club's very first written History.The book was published in 1895 and was given out at the Club's 'Grand Bazaar' event hosted at the Town's Exchange Hall to Club Officials and Event Sponsors. The 'Bazaar' was held to raise funds for Rovers incurring costs moving to Ewood from Leamington St.There are very few known to exist and are as rare as rocking Horse shyte.I do believe Rovers Memorabilia collector Bernie Horne has a copy in his possession. Now then..on the very first page it states Rovers were founded at the Town's St Leger Hotel just after Christmas 1874. Controversy about to unfold? A few pictures of the Precious Book....

Currently sold the grand number of 14.

'you are my sunshine,my only sunshine,you make me happy when sky's are grey'..... The good old Blackburn End.

Marvellous ain't it...just feckin marvellous!

'A false 9' Anyone get the feeling that the whole Club is false? A charade,run on lies and false hope but engineered to be that way behind the scenes by individuals with nothing but their own self interest at heart.

Engineered to fail? Makes you wonder.

I wonder if Venkys have told them the 750k per man Promotion Bonus is off the Table?...🙄

That's a very realistic and worrying scenario right there. Those useless gobshytes in Pune have a lot to answer for...when we needed backing they did nothing.

Let's be brutally honest..we're not strong enough nor good enough for promotion. Feckin fed up!

And there you go...1-0

Gallagher!!!!!!!

Still fancy us to steal a winner here....

Getting outplayed by relegation strugglers..nothing new there!

The fat Lady is a singing Longers!

Reading F.C. Another one of those Clubs you hear of,sigh,and just think meh!! Come on the famous Blue 'n' Whites. 0-2

It is indeed a mish mash.

Looks like Rovers fans can buy tickets in DE for this game?

Derby will scrap for sure but JHC if we can't beat this lot! 2-1 12,500

GET THIS TEAM WINNING AGAIN MOWBRAY!!!
