You are completely missing the point mate. If Crawley is the answer then we are in a whole heap of trouble. I don’t care what any number of ex pros are saying - he is not a great opening batsman by anyone’s measurement.

Tony I have a mate who was a 30 year serving police officer (Lancs) who was a spectator at Hillsborough (LFC fan). He still can’t talk about what he witnessed that day and has not attended a professional football match since then, apart from when on duty. It could have been any of us in the Leppings Lane end that day and the portrayal of Anne Williams by Maxine Peake is a nailed on BAFTA award.

It’s a piece of cake. I didn’t even take my jacket off for the second one. 🍻😉😂

I can’t - that’s my point Chaddy!!

That’s all okay but as others have said, if Crawley is the best we can come up with as an opening batsman then we are fucked.

Like when we bought Duncan Shearer

I work for the East Kilbride Housing Association. When I started there several years ago they did a feature on me in the tenant newsletter. One of the things about me that became obvious was that I am a massive Blackburn Rovers fan and an older lady tenant contacted me to say that she had fond memories of a Blackburn Rovers fan from years ago who “wooed” her. It couldn’t be you could it? Her initials (now)are ER 😉

It has been since time immemorial Sparks. Plenty of Rovers legends sons have been given contracts beyond their abilities, including those of our premier league winning management team.

Roque’s hat trick was very much a defeat. They had a lad called Bent who also laid claim to the match ball that day…..

Tony, we didnt need him to offer his confession. In fact, if he’d performed like that at Blacksnape in the Darwen Amateur League he would have got twatted in the changing room and told not to bother going to the pub after the game.

I take it you’ve seen today’s performance Gav? He’ll be lucky if he plays at this level again in my opinion.

Who’s gonna be the first to make some sort of ‘Wigan Pears’ joke? Oh, me then….

Never liked those fuckers.

Bitter sweet memories for me. Sweet being the day itself, as others have said the atmosphere was incredible, especially with the roof being closed. My best mate was married to a Cardiff girl so we stayed down there for a couple of days. Unbelievable weekend. But it also brings back sad memories as my older brother had just passed away a few weeks earlier at the age of 41 and our host for the weekend, my best mate, also died in his 40s as well a few years later. What memories though 💙🤍🍻
