Don’t think you even get John Bull’s in Darwen, nevermind any other non-Blackburn area. My local chippy as a kid at Four Lane Ends used to do a cracking one.

Blackburn/Darwen/Hyndburn/Dingleville is probably the full extent of tea cake coverage.

Tea cake in east Lancs, though ‘barmcake’ does seem to becoming more prominent over this side.

Possibly, all just adds to *yet another* shambolic ST sales campaign.

No point speculating (he says as he speculates), but if we have lost 3-4k existing ST holders that seems an exceptionally high (and worrying) number - well over a third.

Looking at their forum it’s come from some bloke on Twitter who’s banned from said forum… so maybe not the most reliable of sources.

Adrian whatshisname - ‘Spurs should automatically be given Brighton’s European place because they are a bigger club. So call in now’ ’Bang aht of awder that’ ’Sorry have to cut you off there’… ’SELCO! It’s where the trade goes’.

To be fair you often do read on here from some that they’d ‘rather be in non league than have Venky’s’… which is also ridiculous.

Women’s league always gets top billing over the EFL on the BBC these days… yet even the National League gets substantially bigger crowds.

People still actually listen to those? 😁

If they are still not paying attention and are still ‘being led down the garden path’ after *thirteen* years then maybe, just maybe, this might not ever work out…

As it’s the owners that employ him , we’ll only turn into Crewe if they want us to, no?

Not as big a pull, but Eindhoven is an hour away from Rotterdam, so depends if a combination of how far he thinks he can take us/budget for next season/family life weighs on him. But in reality will he be a favourite for PSV anyway considering he has no history with them?

From De Telegraaf… ’Arne Slot does not leave for Tottenham Hotspur. Feyenoord managed to keep him out of the clutches of the English top club after tough discussions in Rotterdam with the coach and his agent Rafaela Pimenta. Slot will receive an upgraded contract, will stay on for at least another year and will enter the Champions League with Feyenoord. His assistants also stay on.’ https://www.telegraaf.nl/sport/390284431/feyenoord-houdt-slot-met-opgewaardeerd-contract-uit-klauwen-tottenham

He’s under contract for two more years, ergo compensation - so of course the club wouldn’t just ‘release him’

I’m afraid 11 years out the top flight and not a single top 6 finish in the league below since (with crowds collapsing to more top half L1 levels than Championship) has led to diminished standards across the club. We desperately needed a play off campaign to help shrug off this inferiority complex that has enveloped the club.

Hmm interesting that, Phil - though I wonder if Tugay had to operate in the middle of the pitch up against just slightly better players…

They’ve obviously rowed back from that after selling about 10 new tickets since the last price hike.

Then everyone would be filing out the ground pumped up after watching it - ‘SOUNESS! SOUNESS!’ It was shown by ‘Rovers TV’ remember that? There was also something called ‘Radio Rovers’ and a ‘match programme’ too

If only they had seen sense before the *first* hike. A pathetic limp to c8k is now as good as it’s going to get, I imagine. I wonder if at the upcoming FF Swag will be keeping to his line that we are well on course for an ‘uplift of 1500/2000 sales’ on last season?

I’m pretty sure I saw it on the initial launch, but who knows as the comms are always so garbled.

Just seen a post from the club that only mentions that Friday is claim your seat deadline, no mention of a second price hike … praise the fecking lord.

No, but a return to Rotterdam would be an absolute no brainer for him, other offers not necessarily…

He’d be his number 1 fan if he actually ended up here, he’d certainly ‘love his passion on the touchline’, so not sure it’s really worth the back and forth with him on it…

Always a YouTube vid…
