It wasn't a bad game given the conditions SG.

John Pickering was manager, Iley had been sacked by then I believe.

Leigh are tonight refusing to play Wigan at the weekend over the away teams ticket allocation. I’m sure it’s gamesmanship, but can’t say I’ve heard this one before.

The thing that really surprises me is how the fan base, often maligned, has stood up until today, despite being dragged through the mud for 14yrs. If we draw Man Utd or Liverpool in the FA cup, Ewood is sold out, look at our away support, almost 1500 to Charlton at the weekend, superb effort by the fans. Sadly this can’t go on forever in my eyes, we need change, ownership change and quickly or another generation is lost.

Sounds like a really nice evening Tyrone, something a bit different 👍

https://www.kirkstile.com/ I was in The Kirkstile Inn over the weekend, a Lake District institution. The main reason I went was for the Steak n Ale pie, a better one you’ll struggle to find anywhere. So much so I’m sharing a picture, my mouths watering……Give it a go if you’re in the area, but book, even at lunchtime.

The shirt has finally arrived in Yorkshire……Yodel are absolute bobbins….. I’ll get it on the plane this week pal 👍

I was surprised to see them flying home from a game at the start of the film, I thought that was a relatively new mode of transport for football teams.

@Tyrone Shoelaces @47er @den Great BBC documentary here following Swindon Town in 1963.

Wonderful wonderful man, a national treasure and respected by cricketers far and wide. Some wonderful stories about Dickie on the news today. RIP

Just going back on topic, I’m surprised nobody has had a pop at the morons who sit openly in JW Stand. Fans are allowed to voice opinions and berating the stooges for 90mins seems like a good use of time to me. I don’t condone violence of course, but calling them a bunch of: ******* ****** **** for 90 mins is all in the game for me. Direct action required.

Espanyol fans are calling him Maradolan by all accounts.

You can get scraps from most chip shops these days, but they usually charge you for them.

Hollywood icon Robert Redford has died aged 89. He seemed a really nice chap, put a lot back into the industry too with his Sundance Festival. He starred in some great films, my favourite ‘The Sting’ with Paul Newman. RIP
