Am I right in remembering back when social media wasn’t a thing the club used to send texts out to fans with important info about the club, tickets etc.

Didn’t the club send out a text saying we had signed the original Ronaldo ? :lol:

Don’t know what year I’m guessing 2002ish ?

Don't remember that one. But a few years later Claret Tony on the old site announced we'd signed Freddie Fintoff. Think he got a few with that...

I remember a CT article about something untoward being discovered at Turf Moor and the subsequent construction work meant for the following season we will have to play our home games at Ewood Park, I didn't realise the date at the time of reading and he got me with that one!

It wasn't an April Fool, but I do remember receiving that text while I was at college. I think it was either a prank or a ‘send to all’ test gone wrong.
