Lytham House has just opened, we went last week. You can either do it tapas style with ‘small plates’, or standard a la carte. Thought it was superb; food, drink and atmosphere.

Cheers for embedding it, my phone has stopped doing it recently!

Only a couple of months later from that interview Bill died. Such a shame he never got to see the journey we were about to go on.

We are seeing what ‘time’ can mean. ’He needs time’ is that oft repeated phrase, but it’s a tricky balance for clubs at our level. Three and a half years for Owen Coyle and we’d be still playing derbies with Bolton. Three and a half years for TM and we are seeing a playing culture transformed, players and styles phased out whilst evolved methods bed in. Yet, many (not just on here) were turning fast less than a year ago as we laboured against Barnsley - why? Because another relegation wasn’t out of the question if we’d had carried on with that trajectory and League 1 for a second time in 3 years could’ve proved terminal for this club (especially now). The very strange set up at Blackburn Rovers has allowed TM the time and freedom that just doesn’t exist elsewhere in this crackpot league and, early days though it is, I‘ve seem nothing else in the division that says we can’t be up there. Dips will come, especially with a young squad, injuries never seem too far away here, but there’s something stirring (and don’t we all deserve to witness it - well ifollow it). All power to you Mogga.

They’ve now deleted the Dolan thread. Looks like they’ve had a meltdown on there to rival anything on here.

Surely Sky should be picking us for fixtures? Even when we lose, it will be invariably be of the 3-2 variety...

I was a fan of Raya, I thought Walton was a serious downgrade (and wasn’t even ours!) However, it’s been a long time since we’ve had such a composed presence in the goal - which will make a big difference to the defenders in front of him.

You carry on with the piss taking... a look at your forum says you lot are getting worried for the first time in a long while.

Nobody else spot his big grin when his beauty of a ball made it through to Chapman?

https://www.pne-online.net/forum/index.php?threads/summer-transfer-window-rumours-and-discussion.3430936/page-650 What they bothered about? Thought he wouldn’t get close to being in the ‘best midfield in the league’? ?‍♂️

Watford/Luton early kick off, as it’s a derby.. for a behind closed doors game ?‍♂️

Or he could ask on here? And we could discuss it, this being a forum an all...

Gary Weaver (I think). Rob Hawthorne wouldn’t lower himself to the EFL these days.

Seen that two League 2 games have been called off due to positive tests. Could all get very messy come winter...

’Throw mud at the club?’ As ‘99 is one of only 1,200 to actually buy a ST, you’ve got the wrong target there. We are the new ‘100 Club’, wonder if I’ll be getting a call from Waggott asking to fund a new bus for the Academy...

Derby playoff? How about ‘Speedie hat trick hunting, Speedie... ‘

I reckon I could recite the voiceovers on all our 90s VHS’ even now.

We haven’t sold many because they were months later on sale than most clubs, went up in price by £50-£80 in the midst of a pandemic and recession, nobody had a clue when we’d be back in grounds and by the time we finally got something on the market we went into a local lockdown about 3 days later.

Don’t recall Chaddy saying it was a bad idea ‘because we can’t guarantee entry’ when they went on sale...

I didn’t want or expect a daily Ewood Park briefing. However, It was piss poor communication to say NOTHING to fans (apart from a re-written EFL statement in June) from March until the begging bowl came out a week before the Season in September.

I don’t feel cheated, I went on holiday in a pandemic, I bought a ST for a closed football ground in a pandemic, ‘you pays your money...’ My worry is that 80/90% of our already diminished ST base haven’t bought one, and will have been out of Ewood for 18 months by the start of next season. Trying to get those well out of the habit folk back in a time of high unemployment - especially if prices are £400- £600 (if not more) - will be fiendishly difficult, and also a rather unique challenge as most of our rivals have thousands signed up already.
