This site is run on “benevolent dictator” principles....we just need to master the benevolent bit & we’ve cracked it 😁

I’ve changed thread titles in the past...usually when David Dunn turns up at a new club...🤣

Cloudy Bay (Sauvignon) is Mrs H’s recommendation 👍🏻

Depends if you are Derby County’s accountants...😉

Some serious detective work here...😉 I suspect this was taken at the same time...

It’s Jeff Whalley

This is Livingstone Road Altham

Selhurst Park

Judging by the replica shirts, promotion in 1992

More Terry Eccles (& others) at an open day in 1971...

I wrote a preview piece for the always excellent Loft for Words... https://www.fansnetwork.co.uk/football/queensparkrangers/news/54143

Mr & Mrs Arthur are fast becoming the BRFCS “Terry & June” for those with long memories....long may it continue...

Surprised we aren’t looking at bringing one in on loan TBH...or on lawn...? 😁

Puma is more likely than adidas I suspect...this is virtually the Nike one from the Jordan Rhodes era...

How did you hear about the planned re-branding ? 🤔

Teesside. Mind you Sunderland fans probably knew as well. 🤷‍♂️

We have tried...

In a packed episode we meet Elliott from @DasslersCraft to learn about trainers customisation, hear an extract from Daniel Gray's excellent book "Extra Time - 50 Further Delights of Modern Football"; narrated by our Canadian correspondent Bill Arthur; and our special guest interview in Part 3 is with former Lib Dem leader & keen Rovers fan Tim Farron. Listen right to the end for a perspective of iFollow from Mr & Mrs Arthur (the Terry & June of the BRFCS podcast...), plus a special contribution from US wrestler Casanova Valentine courtesy of our friends @NYC Rovers. Thanks to Matt Hall (@nerdphonic) for the professional voiceover inserts - he is available for hire - and to Hollie & Josh for the "enthusiastic amateur" ones 🙂 Louis & Michael (or is it TM?) provided the advert for our terrific sponsors @theterracelife and The Symmetry provided the music. Hosting, editing & production courtesy @IanHerbert...I think that's it...Enjoy ! View full podcast

From Matt Jansen’s ghost-writer https://www.newsandstar.co.uk/news/18879841.special-report-making-cumbrian-premier-league-star/ https://www.newsandstar.co.uk/sport/19014450.blackburn-rovers-boss-explains-moved-evertons-former-carlisle-united-star-jarrad-branthwaite/

Buckley would be better served by modelling himself on players like Cowans & Sellars. You don’t need bulk to be successful....you need a technique you can rely on & vision to exploit it.

Left field suggestion....make watching football flexible. A mix of live & TV viewing which can be consumed as the individual fan sees fit for a subscription. No annual renewal date, continuous direct debit. Like a mobile phone contract. The subscription buys “x” number of credits each month which are consumed in whatever way at different tariffs. Like a mobile phone....texts at one price, calls at another....data at another & so on. Have categories for TV viewing, sole attendance in person, collective attendance in person priced in such a way that attending in person with kids is the most attractive....TV is always an option but not cheaper than in person attendance except say for over 65s.... I’ve not thought this through in depth as you can see...but...over to you to tell me how it can be improved....🙂

See above 😉

You’ve heard of away games ? 🤔 Had we won this one, we’d have gone up...🤨

It sounds so simple when you express in that fashion....but in sport, it’s not “when” is it ? It’s “if”...& no matter how rich the owners, the ensuing points deduction could easily lead to another relegation. The football world is fundamentally different now than it was in 1991/2 & COVID has brought the economics of the madhouse as practised in the Championship into sharper focus.
