The optics on this are very bad. In total contrast to the rest of Women and Girls football. A multi million pound operation, but can't find a way to fund this.

If anyone's interested in local cricket, and the cross over into international cricket, Chorley CC have signed South African international batter Keegan Petersen..he makes his debut at Chorley tomorrow. Follows the success of last years SA pro Marques Ackerman.

Watched this last night, very nostalgic, pausing it to look at the old Blackburn End etc. On the same prog was Chelsea v Man Utd, which was a perfect example of how far the current state of football differs from mid 80's version.

John Bull Blackburn!

He speaketh for me!👍🏻
