We have the same thing in our content management system some times…😁

That's a coding thing when setting up the data in the retail system - it struggles with apostrophes...

Please...I urge you...stop what you are doing & read what a (well-informed) QPR fan thinks about us & our chances...fabulous stuff... https://www.fansnetwork.co.uk/football/queensparkrangers/news/62734

That’s true…but the Trust want to grow membership, so they also need to communicate with non-members…

I’ve had my say on the pod so for the record… Let’s have your predictions for the following: 1. Winners of the Championship Leeds United 2. Runners-up in the Championship Luton Town 3. Championship Play-off final winners Sheffield United 4. Where will Rovers finish the season? 20th 5. Which 3 clubs will be relegated from the Championship? 22nd. Plymouth Argyle 23rd. Derby County 24th. Oxford United 6. Who will be the first club in the Championship to change manager? (For whatever reason) Watford 7. Who will be the BRFCS Player of the Season? (As voted for in the Match Centre on BRFCS) Sondre Tronstad 8. A wildcard prediction for something (possibly quite mad) that will happen to or at Rovers during this coming season Neither Steve Waggott nor John Eustace will be at the club on 1/2/2025

The new season is almost upon us & so it's *that* time of year where our pundit panel stick their heads above the parapet to share who they think will win the Championship, who else will be promoted, the relegation candidates, where our beloved Rovers will finish as well as a notable mad sh!t prediction for something that might happen this season..! https://www.brfcs.com/magazine/podcasts/the-'what-now'-show-predictions-special/57 We also welcome Robert & Lewis from the Kidder St Noise Show who will be joining the 4000 Holes stable this season. Who predicted Rovers to finish 12th, who predicted 24th, who predicted turmoil for Plymouth Argyle, who suggested that the P45s will be flying around Ewood early next year...listen to find out. Roger Whiteside is our host as usual, joined by Josh Boswell, Ian Herbert, Lewis Heyn, Robert Heyn & James Marsh. Our Transatlantic correspondent Jared has sent us his thoughts in the first of his "Transatlantic Vibes" series. We also have predictions from abroad from our Rovers Inc. show hosts Paul Worthington & Simon Burns.

Our problem isn’t P&S constraints…Wharton sorted that. Our problem is cash…we ain’t got any.

Dear County fans, Stopfordians, Blackburn supporters, and anyone else from The Football Family joining us today, a very warm welcome to your Sunday edition of The Scarf My Father Wore. Dave Philbin takes a look back at the friendly on Friday night for us today, along with Ian from BRFCS. Des Junior ✍️ Friday’s match in one word Dave: Injuries (more). Ian: Pleasant. 🤔 Pre-match thoughts Dave: He's here! He's finally here! Hang on, is that Dwight Gayle warming up over there? I wasn't going to bother going as I thought it'd be two reserve teams, but when Barry was confirmed we had to go, even though he wasn't going to play! Ian: How many of our new signings would play? Would any of them have a clue? To what extent will we get schooled? What will the third kit look like in the flesh? 🧐 Post-match thoughts Dave: Gave a higher level team some problems again with a mix of youth, experience and "trialists". Trialists aside, I don't think a couple of our lot were in the plans for next Saturday so it was all about minutes again. Hoping all of the injuries were taken off as a precaution. Ian: Our two new strikers look like they might add something to our otherwise blunt attack, although neither of them scored so it’s still probably going to be a long, hard season I fear. 🔵 Verdict on County Dave: Thought we did well in parts. Conceded a few chances as expected but Addai made some great saves. Unlucky with the penalty but I thought it was a stonewaller. Hard to make a go of it when you constantly have to make changes, adapt, and play players out of position. Adamarola looked frightening down the left hand side when he let the shackles off. Hoping his knock isn't too serious. Number 5, trialist, supposedly Liam Moore, sign him up. Looked brilliant and has League One experience. Ian: Gave us a decent workout but I always temper any views that arise from watching a pre-season friendly… I’ve been bitten before by judging too soon! Enjoy it for what it is – a fitness exercise. 🟣 Verdict on Blackburn Dave: They looked really good on the ball and continue their unbeaten pre-season run at Edgeley Park after the last two. Solid at the back and didn't give away too many chances. Ian: Not as bad as I’d feared, not as good as will be needed for us to stay up. 🎩 Top Hatter Dave: Corey Addai. Ian: One of the Trialist brothers perhaps? “A proud day for the Trialist family…” etc and so on. “That’s Gayle isn’t it?” “Aye… and Oli Norwood.” “I’d have been happy to see them in our squad 10 days ago.” Your right winger gave Pickering a torrid first half. Sorry, no idea who it was though. Who remembers matchday programmes with actual line-ups? 🐶 Top Rover Dave: Any of the back line. Ian: Our new number 9 Gueye looked like he might create a stir this season but my MOTM was Sondre Tronstad. 👂 Atmosphere Dave: I decided to sit in the Main Stand for a change last night and unbelievably, when Louie was paraded on the pitch at half-time, it erupted into song! Other than that, a sub 3,000 gate produced as much atmosphere as you'd expect. Ian: Convivial. I had to laugh at the stewards allowing Rovers fans to sit anywhere they liked then being baffled when the late arrivals looking for designated seats seemingly outnumbered the remaining unoccupied seats somehow, resulting in the adjacent section being opened and everyone then able to spread out and be supremely comfortable. It was my first visit to Edgeley Park and I enjoyed it. 🙏 Hopes for the new season Dave: Hoping we can field a team of 11 for the first half of the season! After that, same as last week – be in with a shout of the play-offs with 10 to go and see what happens. Ian: Not to go down! 😀 Best part of the day Dave: LOUIE BARRY. Ian: Stockport Produce Hall. I live in Sheffield and we have The Cutlery Works on a similar theme. This is right up there. Delicious Katsu Curry – would recommend. 😡 Worst part of the day Dave: There wasn't one. Ian: Slipping over the four-hour parking threshold at the station NCP. An expensive schoolboy error.
