Rovers pin badges needed for a funeral

flashy · 12-07-2014, 16:14

This is going to sound a bit mad but i need to buy around 50 Blackburn Rovers metal pin badges.....my brothers father in law is terminally ill with a blood clot on his brain, he has a week at the most to live, my sister in law wants to buy some badges to give to friends and family at his funeral (as a reminder of him)he was Rovers through and through, the prices in the rovers shop are a bit pricey, can anyone recommend anywhere i can buy some in bulk please?

Shaz....would it be worth getting in touch with BRFC and telling them the story of what you want and why you want them.....seeing if they can do you a deal?
It would be good public relations for them.
You have nothing to lose by asking.

i said that to my niece earlier, i will email the shop and ask them

I think that`s a good idea, maybe even one of the local born players like Daivd Dunn if he`s on twitter or facebook.

That is a good idea too.
David Dunn is a really nice man...and if anyone can help I am sure he could(and probably would).

David Dunn isnt on twitter but i tweeted Rovers instead and got this reply

Blackburn Rovers @OneRovers 4h

Shaz...you need to speak to a human being...someone with feelings and compassion.
Phone the club tomorrow...or better still if you could make an appointment to meet someone at the club to put you case.

Please convey my sincere condolences to your brother for his loss......and to you also Shaz, because I know it is hard when someone you care about is grieving.

Margaret Pilkington · 13-07-2014, 17:55

You could also contact the e-bay seller to see what kind of deal he could cut you......some will do deals...some won't.

I'm afraid not. I have details of where to have them made but I've just ordered some for Stanley the other day and it's 3 weeks production time.

For 50 of them the price would probably be the same to have them made as the original link, that's of course if somebody will make them because of copyright issues.

I would also contact the ebay seller of the £1.99 badge and see what they would sell 50 at.

Thanks for that response Lancsdave.
