Plus Andy Kennedy with that chicken leg celebration 😁

I’m not sure he does know better… bit worrying for a lad of his vintage.

Think you need to get out that Maltese sun for a bit.

We’ve had blue and white halves since the 1870s, I’d say that was pretty traditional…

Can’t be any worse than last season, a shambles to have hardly a shirt in stock post October. But sums up the slapdash operation down there on many fronts.

Outrageous the lengths Russian propaganda goes to, it’s scary shit, totally with you Phil. 💪 They’ve even corrupted some mid level commercial bloke at Rovers and an Italian sportswear company to subliminally add pro-Putin messages to the third kit of an English second division club! MI6 need to find this rogue employee!

This ‘initial batch’ thing is a bit odd but whatever. It’s the running out of the main stock before Christmas or well before the end of the season *every* year that is the big issue. Just doesn’t happen anywhere else and is another symptom of this pathetic commercial operation down there.

Old Peculiar, decent enough ale for Blues that (presuming it’s kept properly/turned over and not vinegar by the time you get it).

The right hand side of the stand with the gantry (South Stand).

Had everything in his game (obviously wasn’t rapid, but was no slouch). Far worse players have had decent top flight careers.

I’ve given up on the reversed halves, the club obviously has (I’d say there’s no one left there making these decisions with any knowledge of the club’s heritage, but then they do like to keep crowbaring in the ‘Cambridge blue’ because of the 1880s).

Lost a point for that crap home collar.

Our Phil has always operated on a higher plane than the east Lancs troglodytes he left behind.

Just a steak pudding, but sometimes a rag pudding (if cooked in a rag cloth , obvs). Now pea wet is a fecking strange Wiggin phenomenon!

I’m looking forward to a season of shirts in the shop like at every other club. No running out in October, or before folk have a chance to buy them for Christmas presents like the past few years. Shouldn’t be a problem this time as there’s luckily no BB2 specific pandemics or BB2 specific Chinese factory issues or BB2 specific stuck tankers in the Suez Canal to worry about.

Fair enough, though a very early TV selection for a game in December.

Lip service form a corporate BS merchant of the highest order. His actual policies, not sound bites, have shown the exact opposite from day one.

If we (ever) get to the stage where we have 12000/13000+ ST holders again then why not. As you have more people who are in the habit of going on a regular basis, add that to those that always walk on, fancy a cheap day out etc and it’s very much possible.

And that would be a cracking effort when you look at previous Ewood friendly crowds, and potentially achievable, it just threw me off a week or so ago when you were talking about 10,000, never in a million years is a friendly getting close to that. Good to know that the club is being sensible and 5k would be deemed a success all round (and hopefully lead to more of the same for a competitive game).

Not necessarily Sky, could be a police request for a Sunday noon KO as there will be 7,000 of those dickheads to police… though obviously still a big chance it will be picked anyway as it is Sky Sports Leeds after all…

A load of those predicted positions are exactly where the respective teams spent a load of last season, so not exactly putting much thought into it when you consider how fluid a league this is with some teams coming from nowhere- I.e Cov, Sunderland etc, and some surprisingly struggling - Norwich, Watford.

Aye, Windy. ’ALL TICKET’ was a sign of a really big game.

Why are you surprised? It’s been obvious for years that the non big 3 boards are skint and as a result the franchise income of their players dwarfs what they get for playing Tests. Ergo they are playing the minimum. For all the publicity and excitement around BazBall and the Ashes, Test cricket is in big trouble worldwide.

So Ossy the eastern extremity of the John Bull… unless anyone can volunteer an Accy chippy?
