The 152 bus at 9.05 or 10.05 will get you to Preston Bus station, a lot nearer Deepdale than the train station. -

Bauer was never going to start anyway before his new injury on Tuesday. He managed 2 sub appearances in August last season before getting injured and Tuesday was his first this season. -
Championship 24/25

If that happened we would be starting the Preston game in 8th, even conceivably in 9th. It would be pretty remarkable if that happened though. -

Great nephew to be precise. -
We're going to see London Grammar at the AO Arena and Paul Heaton at the Liverpool Arena in the next couple of months - both £35 plus booking fee.

Our last 9 meetings at Ewood Park have been won 3, drawn 3 and lost 2. At Ashton Gate it's won 3, drawn 2 and lost 4. Make of that what you will. -

We have this issue on Monday's Fans Forum meeting as I've heard of similar problems from people trying to buy for the Blackpool game. I just tried to buy a ticket for tomorrow and I got to the checkout stage with no problems in about 30 seconds. I would suggest trying again with a different browser - that often sorts issues like this on other websites. -

A good few years ago I was hosting a guy from Mali who was here doing some talks on Fairtrade and was also a big football fan. Lynsey sorted me out with a meeting with Morten Gamst Pedersen by the dugout. (I also sadly had to take him to Old Trafford for a tour!). -

But be aware that there could be cancellations - they are still happening with Northern Trains. -
Tracking our (outbound) loan players 24/25

To put this into context Montserrat has a population of 4,383 on the one third of the island that is still inhabitable after the 1995 earthquake. No doubt there’s a somewhat bigger diaspora of people who left after the Earhart it’s still tiny. -
There was just a moment there when I thought it was me in the crowd between them....

My early life and Tony's seemed to coincide a lot. Being brought up in Rufford and at school in Ormskirk, I used to watch Southport (where I was born) with schoolmates quite a bit when at school, despite being a Rovers fan through family connections. We would usually see Southport play at home on a Friday night and then I would be at Ewood for home games and somewhere else locally if they were away. I probably saw more of Tony Field at Southport than anywhere, as his move to Rovers coincided with me moving to Sheffield for university. I did then see him play at Bramall Lane a few times between 1974 and 1976. My wife's brother lived in New York in the late 70s with his American wife so we went over a couple of times and on one of those I saw both Tony Field and Pele play together for the Cosmos. (I had already seen Pele play for Santos against Sheffield Wednesday in a friendly game on a Wednesday afternoon because of the 3 day week and no power for floodlights). Anyway, this is now spectacularly off piste on the Adam Wharton thread........

It was the 66/67 season. I saw Tony play for 4 different clubs - Southport, Rovers, Sheffield United and New York Cosmos but not Barrow.

No they aren’t. They spent some years in Division 3 (now league 1) in the 60s. I can remember seeing them at that level.

I know it wasn't. The point I was making is that's what he gave, not anything to do with Hedges and the defender coming together. -

On a replay the ref can clearly be seen raising his hand and saying “offside”. -

Dolan was onside by a yard or two - he burst past the defenders when Travis played the ball through. It was Hedges who was given offside - he wasn't but it was fairly close. -
The best set I've ever seen in 14 Glastonbury festivals was Africa Express in 2007, curated by Damon Albarn.

The police know that plenty will use the trains and will be meeting all the possible trains on the morning at either Burnley Barracks or Manchester Road.
-
Both clubs and the police want as many fans as possible to use the coaches. I'd agree with arbitro.

v Derby County (h) - 09/08/2024
only2garners replied to Upside Down's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Pretty surprising to see our gate was higher than North End last night. Assuming Sheffield United filled ether end it would mean Rover shad more home fans on than PNE despite their cheap pricing. Also Ryan Lowe is building up a fine record - it's now 6 losses in a row with no goals scored. -
v Derby County (h) - 09/08/2024
only2garners replied to Upside Down's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
I was concerned when we took off Gueye, Rankin-Costello and Hedges and brought 3 dwarves on, especially given Derby’s reputation for set pieces and the fact they were winning plenty of corners. Then straightaway Derby equalised from a corner. But then the 3 dwarves all scored inside 12 minutes so what do I know. -

They were wrong then. It was clearly Travis, as it was at the ground. Some logistics firm sponsoring it. Presumably he will a free spreadsheet.
