No, but I bet I wasn’t the only one who walked off Ewood after Norwich had dicked us 4-1 in the opening game of Coyle’s reign who was convinced we were going down, despite there being 45 games still left to play!

Your post made me wonder whether I was being overly generous to our neighbours but no, I stick by my original reaction, most of them are only saying what we have said ourselves. Plus the same Dingle has posted multiple idiotic replies, probably one for each of his or her fingers. And for the record I don’t think I’d want them to go out of business either. I witnessed a few years of Celtic fans realising they actually needed Rangers on this side of the border.

Most of the comments are pretty fair really. You’ll always get the odd knobhead.

Agree with the team selection but think we will lose 3-2. I have no idea what the crowd will be but doubt it will hit five figures.

I always thought the smaller school-sized pitches across the road from Blacksnape, know locally as Sett End or Roman Road, were even more exposed to be honest. However I once played a game against YMCA in Mellor in the middle of December and it was easily the coldest I’ve ever been on a football pitch. The pitch was very exposed to the elements and it was driving hailstone (no joke when you’re bald like me!) We won 11-0 that day and our keeper, Steve Walmsley, needed a welder at the end of the game.

It must bring back memories for yours and @arbitro’s generation of when it was first built eh lads? 😂😂😂

Brilliant den. The kids inside the boundary rope blocking off the Gloucester fielder made me chuckle too - they were great days watching Lancashire in the one day competitions.

RIP Mike Hendrick, ex England fast bowler, who has died of cancer at the age of 72. Good seam bowler was Mike.

I was lucky enough to work with him for a while on a homeless project in Motherwell and he was a brilliant guy. He did enjoy a drink by all accounts but I don't know whether the 'long battle with illness' relates to that or not.

Yeah there's a thread been started in the football section mate. Ally was a terrific guy who did a lot for the homeless up here in his spare time.

Yeah I meant on covid grounds mate - crikey when you think how long the players were away from their families in the old days this lot don't know they are born.
