The odd bunch down t’road have even started a Rovers fan bingo. Obviously riles them that their desperation to make this an arch-rivalry just isn’t reciprocated. https://www.pne-online.net/forum/index.php?threads/plastics-away-ticket-details-6-650-sold-04-03.3427798/page-13

He’s obviously realised he made an enormous rick in not bringing in players in January.

I’m not particularly arsed about the other changes, but the penalty one is crackers. The ref just needs to pay attention and stop encroachment, don’t just competently change the law.

They owe money to : Bolton Council, the police, HMRC, plus staff wages. It’ll be some Houdini act to get out of this one by Anderson... https://www.theboltonnews.co.uk/news/17475719.police-chasing-debts-owed-by-wanderers/

Of course we play in halves, but isn’t the point posters are trying to make is that in t’owden days the blue half at the front would be white at the back and the white half would be blue at the back?

Getting to the end game at Bolton you feel. Staff still not paid, monthly direct debits for season tickets not taken and now training ground shut as no food or drink... https://www.theboltonnews.co.uk/news/17474243.shutdown-bolton-close-training-ground-because-of-food-shortage/

Think my views have been made perfectly clear on this issue

Of course short passes are going to be a much higher percentage. You can make 5 short passes in about 10 seconds simply by passing across the defence, means nothing. 80 long balls in 1 match seems a fair few to me.

Ours are heading towards PNE prices, they already are in the Jack Walker.

Indeed. And only two until February, ergo I doubt two defeats from Preston and Wigan will tip the balance.

Dack’s going. Mowbray was testing the waters when he suggested as much, unprompted, in Blues Bar t’other week.

I don’t think there is much of a groundswell with the match going fans for his removal. He still has a lot of credit with folk for the promotion. Be interesting so see if this changes after the two home games we have coming up...

Like I said, shit flex.

I’ve heard the flex ratio is shit.

Look forward to listening to it. Really unlucky manager who did a fantastic job in the late 80s. Don’t certain voices just take you back, my first manager as a kid. You took any coverage you could in those days, can still remember him being on a Granada show with Elton Welsby or whoever taking about our ‘good foootball’.

Of course that’s why, but Stanley are taking advantage of our malaise.

On this forum I remember posting on the Stanley thread in 2016 saying I was happy they’d got beat in the League 2 play offs, as a League 1 Stanley is the last thing we need as a club. From memory I was laughed off the thread and told that they were totally insignificant to us and wouldn’t impact our fanbase at all...

I add to my iPhone notes

Dingles now have their season tickets on sale (frozen). Just the three months to go for us...

I assume CP is ignoring the glory hunters and focusing just on who supports normal clubs in these areas. I’m the same, if a conversation ever turns to football and it emerges that said person ‘supports’ one of the red two, I discount their opinions and make a note never to talk football with them again.

Honourable? Easy to watch clubs like that year in year out, they’re in it for the reflected glory.

Were they ever ‘their’ fans? Or was it that a few folk decided to wear a Rovers shirt instead of Utd/Liverpool? They’ve got to get over it and realise one of the main reason they’ve spent half a century in the doldrums and their ‘city’ struggles to provide five figure crowds for Deepdale is because they are probably only the third best supported club in their own patch.

‘Can’t wait to see the plastics faces at Ewood when we beat them again’ It literally makes no sense, because surely by definition a ‘plastic’ fan, wouldn’t still be going to Rovers? Very bitter bunch of people.

Preston’s biggest problem is most folk wander around with Liverpool or Man Utd shirts on, yet PNE fans have no issue with that. Yet, people like us that have stuck by our club through a shite decade are dubbed ‘plastics’. Go figure!

Interesting. Has anyone been the Clog recently?
