| It all started on Saturday, 8th March
2003 when 8 Blackburn Rovers fans in Singapore gathered
together and were featured in The New Paper's Saturday
Snap section. Lead by Mr Thomas Hoon, the 8 of them
were looking for all those "lost brothers"
out there who've once supported Rovers and also
those who have sticked with Rovers through thick
and thin for the past few years.
It was painful watching Rovers, English Premiership champions
10 years ago, relegating to the Nationwide in 98/99
and playing the likes of Bolton, Preston and Burnley.
BUT those dark days are over! Graeme Souness has
done a terrific job at Ewood Park, first bringing
Rovers back to the English Premiership in 01/02, then
winning the Worthington Cup that very year and
recenty brought Rovers into Europe once again
for the second consecutive season. Thus, reinforcing
Blackburn Rovers as a Top-6 team in England.
It's about time that we start to magnify our
support and loyalty by forming a local Blackburn
Rovers supporters community right here, in our
tiny Singapore.

Website
www.Rovers-SG.com is the first ever online
website for the Blackburn Rovers Football Club Supporters'
Community in Singapore. It was first formed in 2003
and our first home was at www.brfcsingapore.tripod.com.
But due to the ever-increasing advertisement popup
problems, the website was eventually shifted to
sgrovers.fateback.com and was given a face-lift
in June 2003. The site went on for about another
8 months before it went on hiatus.
And finally in early January 2006, after much planning
and sleepless nights re-structuring and re-designing
the website, the Rovers website is up again! It
is now known as www.Rovers-SG.com and finally
we have our own domain. With this new home, the
aim of ours to bring every local Rovers fans back
together once more!
