We were in the top of stand C too. Great view.

Lancs playing at OT on Friday again. Tickets seem to be adults £15 under 18s £8 and kids £1. We'll be there if alls well

I was there too. Club cashing in on WC success offering kids tickets for £1

Doesn't that make you a remoaner? ?

Not until you ask us to vote for your daughter's handbag design

Meanwhile in a completely different world, we just bought 2 senior Clitheroe season tickets for £30 each. 6 matches each at that price and we're saving. Not suggesting Rovers could do that but we've never bought ST'S at Clitheroe before so it shows what you can do if you market imaginatively. They have £60 in the bank that they wouldn't otherwise have had. We can pop along to any match at Shawbridge at short notice any time we're free even if we can only make the second half.

Haha. I'd already edited it. My phone is very difficult to type on

No the links is another matter. If we sign someone or actually look like we might then people want to discuss it, give their opinions and so on so you need a discussion area so people can speculate around it, but the thread opens so early that everyone is bitching and bickering and almost none of this thread is about transfers

Transfer thread should stay closed till nearly the end of the window or at least until there's something new to report. That way we might fight it out elsewhere and those who want to read and respond to actual transfers would be able to read this without pages of rubbish bickering. Probably wouldn't work though

We don't have Owen Coyle in charge

Whilst I wouldn't use that term I agree with the sentiment. Generally at the start of each game you knew who would win and the overhyping of the England team's chances was ridiculous. If we were honest we'd all admit that unless we played it like a cup tie and got lucky as well we'd lose. Who genuinely thought we'd score the pen? Nobody except the OTT commentators

I presume its only me who doesn't understand a word of that

I'd be very worried if Brereton is anywhere near our first team in any position.

I too find it totally baffling. I've never lived near my family. Not that we don't get on but there's a whole big world out there and you can stay close to family without living next door to them nowadays

Having watched quite a bit of Ligue 2 this last couple of seasons I've not seen any defenders I'd like to see us pick up

Doesn't matter what you think though does it? We can't get him sacked if we wanted to. And I'm not sure the majority of fans, however much they moan about him, want him sacked anyway

I just hope Bob Fleming isn't one of the banned ones. Was good to see him back. I like his style of writing

Yep ?

Chaddy would have known

So let's bring in Sharpe as manager as he can see what it appears Mowbray cant

Shows how little people understand our club. They all say we'd get money to improve our squad and improve our spending power. We'd get some of any transfer fee minus whatever Venkys decide to bank, and whatever they were prepared to give Mowbray without the sale of Dack would go back into their coffers too. Any small amount left over would be what the manager had to spend. Selling Dack would give us no extra transfer kitty at all. That's not to say it won't or shouldn't happen, just that for us there is no sugar coating the bitter pill of selling one of our better players

It depends where the money goes. We all know that if it's not spent immediately what the manager will get is about 18p

There is no pressure on Mowbray till our owners decide to apply it. We can rage as much as we want but it won't influence anything

Why? He's already had to use the time when most managers go on hols trekking off to India. Not his fault. Then he's entitled to a family break. You can level all sorts of things at him but having had a holiday doesn't seem to be a fair one to beat him up about. If he does nothing constructive now he's back at work full time that's a different matter

Then unless you watched a very different game from me, you must have seen him fail to chase every ball that came near him. When you're given 11 minutes the least you do is chase everything even lost causes..
