Just seen that PNE showed their game live at Deepdale, didn't realise you could do beam backs for run of the mill league games.

Not a good day for them 2-0 defeat and their captain sent off in the 97th minute 🙂

Surpised not to see waggot running over with credit card machine in hand  to the kids with the please can I have your shirt signs

Can’t see how anyone could feel that this match isn’t still in the balance. 

although you can never say never with Rovers, Reading are pretty poor up front, confident of 2-1 🙂

Gallagher 1-0

Think of the poor guy at EFL digital who has to watch it real time and  pick out 20 seconds of highlights for tonight Quest EFL round up

Ayala taken off   😞

It's mad that on his current forecast of the last 34 games we'll win a total of 11 games this season.

How he's still in the job is mental, really appreciate Jaquob Crookes article, shame Rich Sharpe has said absolutely nothing negative.

Par of the course when the main criterias for a manager of Venky's Blackburn Rovers is ,

Madam thinks you are a nice man and you work long hours.

Give Madam, Barry and Tache the occasional verbal rimming,

Your Agent or mate is running the club

Take your Mrs to have a girly night in with Mrs D

and if all that fails get your Mrs to ring up Madame and cry for your job

Just as an FYI, Chilean news does cover & provide hghlights of Blackburn games now independent of what Big Ben is doing.

But Chilean news was also impressed with Ben's energy.

Inexhaustable Ben

Ben Brereton's frenetic hours

Imagine how crazy it would have been if he was onside and scored from that header towards the end of the game, the perfect ending to the 24 hours fairy tale

The Journey - Update Oct  16

Setting off today running on three spark plugs , luckily the 4th one kicked in just before halfway. Unfortunately the driver saw this as time to pull into the layby and have a picnic. Lid left off the tupperware box so cakes were stale

Still not there yet and a long way to go.

It's a bit of a phenomenon that Rovers just can't see. I think I saw a comment from Waggott saying something about the cost of getting merchandise to Chile but that is all I have seen. Surely Macron must be interested in this and have clubs who wear their kit out there. There will also be lots of sports outlets who work in a commission.I

I see this as pretty much a free hit for Rovers but still they appear to be dawdling.

If only there was a way of contacting a reputable merch manufacturer/ printer in Chile and sorting a licence out for non kit related stuff,

Some time in the future I bet there will be a way of doing this , heard a whisper about a thing called the world wide web and a way you can send letters without a pen and paper

Where was pleasingyon cricket club? I can find no mention of its location. Pleasington fields maybe but they aren't really in pleasie.

Pleasington playing fields where built in 1935 (BWD website)

Somebody mentioned earlier in the thread that it was stated in a book it was near the Butlers Arms  inn.

Looked at some old maps and thought it may have been where the bowling green is, but since found the Bowling green was opened in 1846, but to the side of the Butlers / bowling green there was a big open flat surface , on this map its divided into  sections (near the road where houses now are).

But there is a map online 1900 or so that shows the two bigger houses not built but land divided and a couple of structures no longer there (club house?).

https://www.archiuk.com/cgi-bin/build_nls_historic_map.pl?search_location=, Blackburn, Lancashire&latitude=53.738394&longitude=-2.486610

obviously pure guess work taking into account old maps , lay of the land etc and the old book mentioned in a previous post. Would also make sense having a cricket ground near a pub 🙂

A newspaper article from time mentions that the Preston player that sadly died , was carried into the Butlers Arms

Also on cottontown there is quite a bit on the Ewood Bridge ground prior to Rovers buying it, in the Rovers section.
