Could do a pre-contract with him in June, no?

How tf have we won that? The only club in the country NOT to increase our attendances significantly post-Covid.

For me to even consider a ST affordable, they need to knock a good £100 off the price before any gimmicks/offers. I’d start with saying ‘Twenty’s plenty’ for all games. No ticket should cost more than that (fuck other club comparisons, I’m talking demographics of the area and basic morals). Say £20 for JWU, £15 everywhere else. OAP/Student/Armed service/Blue Lights £15 JWU, £10 everywhere else. Chn £5. Every league and cup game at Ewood. Then work backwards. There are 23 games, would be £460 JWU etc etc. So I’d look at: £300 JWU, £250 everywhere else. Concesions (as described above), £250 JWU, £200 everywhere else. Chn £100 including the latest home/away shirt, free printing. £75 w/o. While we’re at it, add a drink to the pie/mash/peas offer and make it a tenner.

Less than that after admin…

They’re usually open to all, although I don’t know if this has changed.

I’m afraid I don’t understand why the AGM is held in the Training Centre (a place not readily accessible to anyone travelling), and has the manager as guest speaker. Comes across as far too pally for my liking.

Medium fleece.

When you play the Game of Thrones…

You wouldn’t be annoyed about your boss’s boss specifically working to undermine you and line their pockets while doing so?

I wondered about Gally, esp with the late flurry of rumours he was being loaned out.

Or a fried one, followed by the pan.

Things potentially have happened like that though? Any club that employed DJ Campbell runs that risk 😅

I think the Glasgow Willy Wonka Experience shows that AI has a way to go before it can overtake actual creativity.

Have you ever worked for a manager?

That’s still all better than THIS.

Sounds like the Brian Clough school of thinking. Play to your strengths and work hard, and you’ll play better. If you play better, you’ll enjoy it. If you enjoy it, you gain confidence. If you gain confidence, you stand a better chance of winning.

It counted for the crucial Hyam penalty though.

Ok he missed it (keeper knocked it onto the post) but it was a proper captain who takes the last penalty.

Nothing but pride. Fantastic match from the lads. Pot luck now boys.

Whatever the result tonight, this has been a terrific game in no small part thanks to US!

Bugger me. What a chance.

What. A. Block.

Heard that Robin Windsor died last week. One of the best dancers Britain has produced, and (along with his dance Partner Kristina Rhianoff) had the privilege of teaching me and Mrs E how to dance just after he left Strictly. A kind and generous teacher, and a big personality gone from the world of Ballroom and Latin.

The Liverpool mention had me thinking, and Adam plays like a lanky Lancy Xabi Alonso.

If you get on Richard Branson’s bad side, do you call him ‘The Virgin’?
