As a comparative newcomer, have you ever supported or contributed to the coffers of the Rovers?

To be fair I don't think you should expect any club to 'do their bit' . If another club helps out then it's a bonus but there should be no 'expecting' of it.

Stanley have fostered some great links with Rovers and Burnley over the past 5 years and I am sure this will continue

Whether Blackburn Rovers as a Club make any sort of supportive gesture is entirely up to their conscience OzM...
As to the many fans of 'The Blues' who will empathize with the feelings of the Management,Players and Fans of OUR Club in it's difficulties, I am more than certain that they will, in their concern make every effort to demonstrate their support in a tangible way !!.

They will be made very welcome on Turf Moor tomorrow night , and at the Darlo Match on Friday!!..as will all those who make their particular effort to 'Save our Stanley'!!.

Hope that you'll be there as well !! shouting 'ON STANLEY...ON!!!'

Quite agree, Dave, a very dangerous path to go down. Helping us in our time of need is a favour, not an obligation. What next?..."I've donated more than you" arguments?

maccawozzagod · 08-09-2009, 09:53

i think the other thing to be careful of is insulting people/clubs to the point where they will certainly not help us. By all means ask but under no circumstances insult folk for not doing

As a life long Rover, I think I'm doing my bit, I've sent a donation, am sponsoring the Rochdale walk and will be wearing a save our Stanley T'shirt this weekend hopefully, and If I have any spare cash knocking about later on I'll make another donation, Dave was right, you could actually say why don't United, City, Liverpool, with all their wealth, chip in, because it would set a dangerous precedent, its up to the individual fans not the clubs to help

Perhaps Burnley are trying to do amends as it was Bob Lord who sent Stanley out of the league so many years ago. I did go to a game at Rovers a good few years ago (Centenary match?)which benefited Stanley when Stanley where not in the major public interest.
Rovers have helped Stanley on many occasions, Burnley are just in this for the publicity.

It's a bit like asking Tesco to sponsor a local shop. Would be great if they didn't run them out of business but on the other hand, why would they support them?

As for individual supporters that's a different thing and many, I'm sure will be pitching in.

I don't care why Burnley are in it, but at least they are in it.

I thought the notion that Bob Lord was responsible for Stanley going out of the league went out of the window a long time ago.

I'm no great Burnley fan, but I think that what happened in 1962 shouldn't after all this time be laid at Burnley's door.

We should welcome the fact that Burnley are willing to help Stanley out in whatever way they can.
