Rovers Carying a coffin

Post by pureclaret » Wed Mar 20, 2024 9:33 pm

not sure if seen before but In a tradition going back to 1948, fans of Blackburn Rovers and Preston North End bury a coffin of relegation in the cellar of the Trades Halls club, having carried it around the town, then when promoted get it back and parade again , they still have been doing this as revcent as 2018 .

Was thinking should we were to do something what would we do to accept releagtion and what about promotions? Excluding just getting absoulutley drunk!!!

Quite a few of us on here are at the age that we need to dodge coffins

I think getting absolutely drunk for medicinal purposes would be acceptable.

I’d rather they had a noose around their neck.
