Hasta

If you Google Alan Nixon The Sun, the sun website has a page with all of his stories on. Go back to the January transfer window and I am struggling to find one linked transfer that actually came off, literally. Portly, tabloid guesser.

Blake was meh but far from a worst striker. I actually liked Roberts. The problem is he wasn’t a striker for a team aiming for the top 6 as we felt we should be doing at the time, but he gets a lot of unfair grief. On a similar note to yours, Yorke isn’t really fondly remember for his spell in a Rovers shirt. However one of my best away moments was his equaliser at Bolton to make it 2-2 in the 95th minute after being 2-0 down.

Makes me laugh when people put Blake (and Roberts) in worst striker lists. He played half of his games for us in the Premier League and had a significantly better strike rate for us than the likes of Sam Gallagher and Matt Derbyshire, let alone Ward and Brown. The problem was his fee.

Big season for Buckley coming up. He’ll be 23 with well over 100 senior appearances to his name. He has the potential to spend his career at a higher level than Dack. Time to prove it.

No offence, but as this is your first post on here your ITK reputation level is ‘bullshit’. However we all start somewhere. If this comes off you will leap above the Nicko level and the Mercer level. Maybe one day you too can achieve the status of 100% Unleaded. Good luck.

Armstrong was once he actually played him in his right position. Rothwell was playing well for several games during that good run leading up to Christmas. Then he went off the boil. That’s what made him inconsistent. Same with Brereton. Was nowhere near the same player for the last couple of months. My point is that’s not necessarily the players fault as it happened across the entire team under Mowbray. Inconsistency, with endless back to back unbeaten runs and death spirals, summed up the entire Mowbray reign.

Which attaching midfielder or forward has been consistent? Ben, Gally, Buckley, Dolan ? Nope. Common theme under Mowbray’s Rovers.

Rabid Speculation

We didn’t sign Myles Anderson because of who his dad was. To suggest otherwise was rabid speculation. If we needed a backup keeper and Mowbray said Pears was the man for the job and he also knew him and his family and could guarantee he was the right ‘character’, it would probably convince Venkys even more.

@goozburger I renewed to a different seat after the original loyalty deadline had passed but before the ‘2nd’ loyalty discount was introduced. Obviously it’s against my same customer reference number. My seat from last year is now available to buy and is not greyed out. I guess the question is had my original seat been greyed out at the start of phase 2 as I hadn’t renewed when they got blocked off again, and then I did renew sat elsewhere, would it still be greyed out?

If they had a team of premier league quality they wouldn’t have gone down. When you then remove (sell) their better players, the ones left simply can’t be premier league quality. Fulham bounced back but spent £15mill on Wilson and Chalobah.

Phillips clearly has a ton of talent for his age. I’ve never seen him but only heard good things so signing a contract is great. I would imagine he will feature in some first team games fairly soon as you don’t get Jude Bellingham-like fees until they are slightly proven in senior football. Should he make an impression, I’d be amazed if he is here longer than 30 months from now as he will quickly become the next way of funding FFP. Looking forward to seeing him play. Not all wonder kids make it. Some people can deteriorate rapidly. Franny Jeffers was described as the best young striker in generations at Everton, and secured an £11million move to Arsenal, aged just 20, after scoring 18 Premier League goals. He only scored another 18 goals in English football for the rest of his career.

BRFCS Match Centre ratings for the Sheff United game. The comments on the match thread don't speak highly of Edun either.

Any improvements are paid by for the Riversiders who are squeezed to the bone with their 35% increase in 3 seasons. And topped up with the Waggot Tax supposedly brought in to avoid pie wastage! Still can’t get a Guinness Surger pump in the JW stand though even though they are selling cans of it at a fiver a pop. #ShitOnOurOwn

SW is budget-balancer who has no interest in customer service or satisfaction. In one of the most deprived areas of the country, he is slowly seeing how much money he can squeeze out of loyalty rather than any effort to try and attract new customers. In the cheapest part of the ground, where people on a restricted budget will probably choose to sit, season tickets have gone up 35% since the covid-affected season. Thirty-five percent !!!

The reason Boro 's price is shortening and ours is lengthening is because more people fancy Boro to get promoted at 7/2 than us at 13/2. Of course that doesn't mean it will happen. But to say Boro are generally not favourites ahead of Rovers for promotion is wrong.

Boro are no more favourites in your eyes only. In the real world, they are at least half the price of Rovers to be promoted because the majority of people disagree with you. Since the start of June, they’ve shortened in price whilst we have lengthened.

Drew 1-1 away and lost 2-1 at home according to here. https://www.11v11.com/teams/hartlepool-united/tab/opposingTeams/opposition/Blackburn%20Rovers/

Yep. You’ll probably need to be “one of our own” plus 2 away games.

Looks like the away end at Burnley is still split between Home and Away so the allocation will be smaller than that which we have received previously.

Looks like only one previous meeting between the clubs, a two-legged league cup tie in 1974 which we lost.

So your saying Chaddy might just be moaning for the sake of it? Rather than thinking the club are genuinely pricing their tickets too high for the prosperity of the area they are based in?

They also won the league cup and reached a European competition final in the last 20 years. And that's irrelevant to how they will do next season too . In my opinion they will finish above Rovers, Lenihan or no Lenihan.

Wilder took over mid season, turned it around and led them to their highest finish for 5 years. With another transfer window, I expect them to do better again under Wilder.

A small right in a sea of wrongs. The seat situation could get messy but at least they’ve done it. There is surely no logic in still increasing the prices in July though.
