" I read the news today oh boy
Four thousand holes in Blackburn, Lancashire
And though the holes were rather small
They had to count them all
Now they know how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall
I'd love to turn you on"

 

If there was ever a song the crowd would sing like they do at West Ham, Sheffield United etc, it would be this ... music fades just before "I read the news ..." and the crowd take over.

there is an excellent van serving various tasty morsels on nuttall street and they take cash,far better offering than that overpriced sodexo shite that swag did the deal with,on  my travels last season,it was clear,ewood had by far the worst food offerings,even non league chorley were superior,in price and service

That FootyScran account is good, and they (or their followers rather) were very positive about the balti we had last season ... lets hope we get that again this year. Footyscran also run a register of food places looking and can match them up with clubs that are looking.

Is the username definitely Skous18?

Perhaps you need an ed-blocker 😁

I'm just amazed someone can be quite so brazen and entitled about it.

I'm glad the effort we all put in for free so you can enjoy the site for free is worth installing an ad-blocker for. Please tell me it's a paid for version, that'll make my day.

The logic of 'we'll make this experience so unpleasant that you will have to pay to get rid of the ads' doesn't compel me to do so.

I think it was @J*B who already said we push back on a lot of ads that the suppliers want us to run, we make less money than we could by purposely not cramming the site with ads, the one concession we did make to the suppliers was a full page ad sometimes on page transition.

If anyone sees any ads that are obtructing content too much or are outsude their area then send us a screenshot and we'll report them to our supplier.

At least we're not as bad as Lancashire Live!

I find it hard to believe that such an unappealing ad experience is the best course of action.

This is why we offer a subscription ...

Last nights game was a perfect example of how JDT has said he wants us to play, play the ball around at the back and draw the opposition on to us, then use the fact they're out of shape and take advantages of the space they have left. It's very much an evolution of the tika-taka football Barcelona used to play except instead of doing it all over the pitch to create gaps to attack, we just do it at the back. Maybe as we get more experienced at it, or get better players in it'll spread to other areas of the pitch, but I would bet at some point someone's done some analasys on those tika-taka teams and found that the majority of goals came from playing the ball around the back. There's a reason we do and it's not "Well, we might as well start somewhere."

I thought Ainsley Pears was brilliant again last night, a save is as good as a goal in my book and he made plenty yesterday, he's lost that air of "just about to drop a big one" for me and it's going to be a very difficult choice on who to pick betwen the 2 1st team keepers when Kaminsky's fit.

We just have to remember that progress is not linear, we will not be able to play at that standard every game for the rest of the season, we've had a wonderful season so far with a great cup run, dumping out 2 Premier League teams, any missing out on a play-off place will be a last gasp thing and not a gradual fade away like normal (and will hurt more if that's how our season ends) and that is way beyond what even the most blue and white of us could have hoped for when we didn't even have a manager a couple of weeks before the season started!

My only worry right now is that JDT won't be our manager next season because a bigger (more financially able) club has wooed him away.

Everyone's going crazy for ChatGPT at the moment, if you're locky enough to have access to be able to interact with it post your football, especially Rovers related texts here ...

If you watched last nights game, don't forget you can vote on MotM up until 8pm tonight ...

Can't explain why this got hidden, as it wasn't at our end (we can always see which mod -or the member themselves- hides a post).

Yours simply said 'Hidden'.

Any suggestions @J*B @StubbsUK?

It's not hidden as far as I can see?

If you're still having issues @RoversClitheroedrop a message in the "Ask a Question" section.

If this is true, you don't have to be that big of a happy clapper to have some sympathy for the staff at the club ...

BRFCS stands against discrimination, in this case racism, of any kind.

Basically, this @JoeH but @StubbsUKwill be able to give an even more technical answer. 
 

A bit of a faff and we are looking for a solution but haven’t got one any better than upload elsewhere and link (yet). 

That's the way to do it, BRFCS it set up & tuned to host a website & forum, we don't have the bandwidth to be hosting loads of video, but if you upload it to YouTube & paste the link it'll pick it up and make it all fancy for you.

This year we're gathering all the rumours and speculation we can find into a single article on the front page that we'll keep up to date as the windows progresses ... there's stuff from journo's twitter, papers ... even here if we see anything good or that we missed!

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?).

Next time we have a really dry spell it would be fascinating to get a drone up in the air and see if the dry earth exposes the location of any old buildings or anything.

I came across thios map that the Germans had drawn up in preparation for Operation Sealion, the invasion of England, and it still shows East Lancs CC as Alexandra Meadows.

The map is from 1942, and the original is here along with a key for the purple bits which shiow textile mills, reservoirs and quarries in the map above.

Well FIFA threatened yellow cards if players wore armbands so surely executing on of your players must bring some punishment.

Bloody hell!

Iranian footballer Amir Nasr-Azadani could face execution

QATAR WORLD CUP 2022
According to 'Iranwire', Amir Nasr-Azadani (26) was sentenced to death for "treason" after showing his support for human rights and defending women's rights in his country.

The international players' union Fifpro denounces the case: "We stand in solidarity with Amir and demand that his sentence be lifted immediately".

Sign this petition for the Iranian regime to STOP the execution of footballer Amir Nasr-Azadani.
