I'd like to graph members ages sometime.... be interesting to see what the age spread is. It seems to me that plenty of 'senior' supporters have worked out how to switch a computer on. ;)

Like several others I joined by following the link from BRFCC, but not as a protest I hasten to add.

I was taken to my first Rovers game in 1947 when we beat Charlton 1-0. they were the FA Cup holders having won 1-0 against the Dingles a couple of weeks earlier. Been hooked ever since, just hope I don't bore the pants off some of you younger ones when I start about "the good old days"
Ha! Similar experience! Saw first game at Ewood in 1949 sitting on my Dad's shoulders. He did say it was against Man City but I've never checked that. Since I was 2 at the time can't remember a thing. But regular from about 1952 onwards. Not too many of us left brought up on a diet of Reg Elvy, Bob Langton, Bill Eckersley, Johnny Crossan ,Ronnie Suart and the like!

Its the long, happy memories that make today so hard to take. Never thought that scum like Venkys would be allowed to ruin Rovers.

I'm not too familiar with BRFCS other than the 4 times I've been banned ;)

It truly has turned into North Korea on there. I'm not going to blast SteB and Glenn too much as I believe certain members on here were more responsible for my last ban. That said this is a new site and even I've been given a clean slate so will return the favor. With the exception of Philip Lingard I'll make an effort to be civil to anyone from BRFCS who joins up.

I doubt old Lar de Dar Gunner Graham will come on here..... he'll not deem us worthy of his presence! Plus he'll never win an argument unless he bores us all to death first.

htf do you get banned from a football site talking about brexit
Sorry I think I banned One of your accounts, wish I knew it wasn't you that posted the comments about Roversmum.

My mod badge has been handed back, there's been a lot of noise about the state of moderation over there, as probably the most active mod in the last 5 years it's only right I fall on my sword; truth is I hadn't put any real effort into it for a long time. I was decent enough once upon a time!

Give pinko 'remainers' who are able to accept democracy in action ONLY when it suits their cause too much power behind the scenes. In fact waggy just think along the lines of "I've lost so I'm off with my bat and ball."
I shouldn't gloat but (imo) most of the backroom boys and their acolyte clique over there (or at least the most vocal) have called every major election / referendum wrong for the past 7 years when I've called every one right! ..... but then I use my grey matter rather than listening to the stupid buggers who put together the polls do I? As my old plumber mate used to say "If that's a degree than I'm glad I'm thick":D

Well done! Obviously a man of principle Tom. (.... takes one to know one;)). I guess the battle lines, the for and the againsts have been drawn up?




BUT ..... Do you really get a badge?:D

To be fair, nothing sinister has happened over there. Tom and Mike both decided off their own backs that they'd had enough and wanted to step down which would enable them to go back to normal posting. Although I see Mike wants to be a Mod over here now :confused:

Some things have happened that are unexplained though

Of course you mean Eddie Crossan my idol as a youngster. His dribbling was as good as anybody's I have seen but he was a flawed diamond when it came to the final ball. If the Man City game you mention is the one I am thinking about, Rovers won 4-1, Bert Trautman saved 2 penalties by Les Graham and half the ground thought we had missed a 3rd when Bill Eckersley broke the net with it. That day a lad called Chris Anderson made his debut on the right wing. On one occasion he beat the full back went back pretending to pick up his chewing gum and beat the full back again. He wound the defender up so much he won the three penalties. It looked like we had unearthed an absolute gem but his ego and lifestyle didn't match his ability and he was playing for Lion Brewery in the Blackburn Combination only a few years later.
