Balancing act though, because he could knock thousands off the travelling support...

So all non 3pm Saturday games are on Sky then? If that’s the case, so will Leeds and PNE at home, as they are 12pm KO’s. Not sure Waggott thought about that when agreeing to the early KOs...

The worry is always wages, you can imagine Dack’s agent getting a whiff of what they’d be offering, and as a parachute payment receiving club, you’d imagine it would be way above his current package...

BBC local news just then ’The funeral of Blackburn legend Jimmy McIlroy takes place today’ ?‍♂️

£30 million doesn’t get you much these days - two players from the Championship and I presume a reserve goalkeeper when the other keepers are fit. I’d say you stood still this summer - as we well know that ensures you fall down the table fairly rapidly in the Premier League.

Do they particularly care about relegation? If they come down, they’ll pocket the dough, ensure they have a top side for the Championship, rinse and repeat. Not an exact science, obviously, but I can’t imagine them coming down in the disarray some clubs do.

I know, ergo it will be on UK ifollow...

Will it not be on Rovers’ ifollow in the UK as it isn’t a Saturday 3pm or on Sky?

Ha nearly posted it myself! Plus, even with their best season in decades and European qualification, his pal wears a Euro tshirt with an anti -Rovers song title on it!

Main problem with Preston fans is since ‘city status’ they have got this impression that they are a sleeping giant.

Or people just post their opinion?

Fantastic level of pettiness that JH!

Felt slightly for him, as he’s a full back who inavariably came on as a sub on the wing and he looked like the proverbial fish on a bicycle. But generally wasn’t going to make the grade.

What was it again? ’Clubs have agreed to close the transfer window early in August to stop rumours and distractions for clubs’. Worked out well...

Get Rev back in there.. or LD Rover!

Behave Pete! You’re saying people hadn’t even heard of Shearer? He’d just scored for England against France!

To be fair, Shearer had already scored for England, so it wasn’t exactly ‘who’s he’? English record fee for an average scoring ratio and getting rid of Speedie were more the issues.

Interesting that Birtles says in the article that he doesn’t suit the wide role...

Think he means Ali Syed. Like your thinking though Tyrone, let’s move this on to our own personal confessional!

£30 cap, but alas that wasn’t put in place until we’d left.

No arguments there, yet surely the club would rather the truth be told on how Ewood feels a much better place Or is the term we are after ‘clickbait’?

It’s a good point Tyrone, all depends on where you reside/who you know. I know Blues from Bamber Bridge, who absolutely can’t abide Preston and their fans, more so than Burnley - for an obvious reason.

Is it just me or does Simon Smith have veiled digs at the fans every week? Even when there’s a real positivity. http://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/16606486.trust-mowbray-to-get-rovers-signings-right-simon-smith/ The support at the grounds (home and away) has been right behind the team - even at 2-0 down against Reading, they were cheered on. We are ‘supporting the lads’, most folk seem happy Bell’s in the side. Why not point out the Ewood good vibes for once? It just continues a false narrative that Ewood is a uniquely negative place, especially as for many fans the LT is still the main place they get their Rovers news.

We take around a 1,000 minimum pretty much to every weekend game these days, wherever the game is. With plenty more for local games obviously. We didn’t take that to Man Utd/City/Liverpool by the end of our time in the PL - just shows the difference when we aren’t being charged £40 - as Leeds will show...

Why? It’s bang on. But hopefully Reed will prove we’ve got the recruitment right.
