If you read what the Heritage Lottery funds, it's clear that they are there to preserve heritage wherever they may find it. Sadly, they have a limited amount of money and an avalanche of worthy applicants. At the seminar I attended they made it clear that they welcomed bids from any sporting club - amateur or professional.

Weekend bump with (arugably) the highlight of the 1980s as Rovers lifted a trophy at Wembley. Where you there? Did you think that was as good as it was going to get? The first of four visits to Wembley in the following eight years.

Yeah, he said something about Hedges height allowing us to win more aerial duels. And we conceded 2 headers.

Did Ismael try to justify it by saying Hedges was an inch taller than the other two or am I completely imagining that? I'm sure I've seen it somewhere.

Someone mentioned Pickering, but Ribeiro too? I can't think of any reason you'd play Hedges LCB with those two available.

More likely to see Lord Lucan or Shergar...

Wonder if the international man of mystery himself will make an appearance on the bench tonight?

'January ain't easy ya know' will be getting an airing soon, then it will be 'window doesn't close until the start of February so as long as we've got a few bodies in by then it's fine'. We needed defensive reinforcements yesterday, suicidal decision to sell Hyam on deadline day to the mighty Wrexham, potentially cost us Championship status there and then but hey, at least that money will help them meet their targets from the accountants back at HQ.

Wings - Band On the Run

Imo if the bus was going to all parts of the City that's one thing (even though Liverpool are more than capable of funding it themselves) but Im not sure why any professional Football Club should expect funding for an exhibition on Club premises.

it might have helped slighty by not selling hyam at the last minute and actually paying danny batth a few more quid a week,a couple more injuries at the back and we`ll be sending scouts to blackburn combination games because we ar`nt going to be spending any money in january

It's not looking good for Rovers, Carter back out injured, and Miller with jet lag, returning yesterday after playing for Australia. We desperately need recruitment at the back, in the Januarary transfer window,if we've to have a chance of staying in the Championship.

Probably win it, with Sheff Utd signing Bamford.

With Carter and Wharton both out long term now, we definitely need a couple of new CB's at least, and a recall for O'Riordan on top of that to ensure we have enough cover for playing 3 CB's.

They've said that in the LT, every game, 1 win in 6 at home,speaks for itself.

Probably better than Rovers.

If memory serves me, it was for a portable Liverpool FC memory bus with various memorabilia inside.

having been bouncing around the middle divisions since tom finney went back to plumbing,every time pne start the season well their fans starts chirping about them being a "sleeping giant!!!!" and as everyone one of their lancashire rivals have been moderately succesful (even blackpool made it into the premier league) they are also extremely bitter🙂

Seems they might have provided funding to the Liverpool Foundation rather than the Club.

The exhibition at the Museum was a Blackburn Museum event. The club did loan them a number of items which was acknowledged by the Museum at the time. The Museum plan events well in advance and the Rovers exhibition was always due to end when it did as the Museum had another event which directly followed it.

Is all this related to why the Rovers 150th exhibition was based at Blackburn Museum (oddly ending months before the actual anniversary) rather than at Ewood Park?

Went to a Lottery Fund seminar in the Summer. They stated that the Liverpool project was one of the most successful that they had funded in terms of feedback from the public.

Didn't see any of it as it's been put behind a paywall.The fact that something as big as the Cricket Ashes is allowed to be made to pay to see it is a disgrace.Why is it not on the protected list of sports like the football world cup is.

Based on what we have seen, which isnt enough for me to say with any certainty, I dont think hes up to the level, by quite a bit. You dont count the cup games when defending Ismael's record so presumably they dont count here. Even if they do, graduates starting games is at best seldom happening and only in low priority games. Im not saying they should or shouldnt be playing, but Ismael has said that they purposefully didnt fill the full squad for that (stupid) reason. My point was about the contradictory rubbish that the likes of Gestede and Ismael have come out with and keeping coming out with to try and defend the shambles of a summer.

All sounds a bit plastic.
