Love the knitted scarves with players names embroidered on them. I can picture many mums and nans busying themselves in front of a nice coal fire doing these.
Keep these coming Mark.
That will be Mat Woods' name on her scarf then. I thought she had OCDS at first.

What I want to know more about is the Venkatesh Rao kidnap threat (not sure if mentioned on the podcast).

Chances are I might not even be living in the town much longer and if that's the case I won't be coming back.

Sadly, they're big manure fans.

They've just been wound up, all for a paltry £500K. Spurs will be paying Bale more than that a week.

Once the time machine has dropped you off at your match, make sure you go in the betting shop first.

Remember the Korgis? I'd never heard this track before. It's actually called Rovers Return and pretty catchy.

The only thing that makes any sense there is a smaller capacity stand closer to the pitch with better facilities and some things incorporated that could help income.
Micro brewery, museum, match day cafe, fast food outlet, hotel or b&b facilities, hell even a car showroom !
Now there's an idea.

I’m a University student and currently studying the effects that Coronavirus (COVID-19) will have on football clubs. Blackburn Rovers is one of these clubs however our survey results so far show that Blackburn Rovers fans are unrepresented compared to other clubs. If you could fill out this survey that will help the club transition out of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak, I would appreciate it massively.
Must have a twin in Sheffield

I nearly dropped someone in the sh~t with a particular Acid House party. Down Pump Street, around 1990 (From my book Blowing With The Blackburn Trades).
The funniest thing which happened to George was when Walmsley and him nearly got themselves arrested in the early hours of a particular Sunday morning.
It was the common practice for Walmsley to get drunk every Saturday dinner time and fall asleep in such a way as he would be dead to the world. Some rotten devil, usually me, would draw all over his face with a red or green felt tip pen until he looked a bit like a Maori from New Zealand.
We wouldn't tell him what we'd done when he woke up and keep straight faces for the rest of the evening while he carried on where he left off boozing. If I was really cruel I would invite him to accompany me on a pub crawl without letting the penny drop.
On one particular night Walmsley - face painted once again - supped in the club till four in the morning with George. They went for some supper down King Street afterwards. What they didn't know was an acid party had been taking place down Pump Street, the police were called to disperse the ravers.
When the cops saw Walmsley they assumed like anybody else he was one of the acid kids and pulled him and George. Walmsley's luck must have been in as he came out with the all-time classic excuse for the police by saying: "How can we be acid kids? Look at us we're pissed. This lot are into drugs, we're into beer!"
The police let them go, giving them five minutes to get home or they would be offered another bed for the night.

Suter also played in the 1882 Cup Final when Rovers lost to the Old Etonians.

He was used as a pawn by Forbes Burnham's Guyana government, under the name of apartheid, to distract attention away from his own dodgy elections practices. The Windies selectors were just as bad. It took them over ten years before they picked an Indo Caribbean to play for them. Even Viv Richards didn't cover himself in glory here. Maybe that's why he had a love child with a Bollywood actress, to distract attention from his own racist statements.
