I may be wrong on this but wasn't the Ewood pitch the recipient of a major redo over the Summer? Hence not used in the preseason.

Had a look at the pitch when I bought my season ticket last week. The pitch looks in stunning condition.

Be careful what you wish for.  If our owners ever decide to pull the plug we will be in the same boat as Bolton and Bury.  The League should do everything in their power to prevent these famous old clubs from going under, particularly as they sanctioned the owners who got them into this mess.

No we won't, there are buyers out there. 

Yep, when we were away at Old Trafford I used to think what’s the point going as he wouldn’t try to win. 

Asia - Don’t Cry

I think he’s a lazy bugger who only tries when he wants a new contract. We need to get shut of him in my opinion.

Maybe I'm just old fashioned but I was always taught that the best ploy is to concentrate on one game at a time. We have no idea who is going to be good, bad or indifferent yet so scanning the fixtures trying to work out where the points are coming from is futile. Its a bit like Mowbray worrying too much about what the opposition can do instead of focussing on our own strengths.

I do agree that it is always better to kick off with a win, but plenty of teams start slowly, including those that look 'strong' on paper. 

I agree with you Andy but let’s face it, Allardyce did exactly the bit in bold and it seemed to work for him!

Looks like he eats people in his spare time. Exactly what we are looking for, will be perfect!

If we sign him I'm getting a shirt with his name on the back, he looks an animal!

The Members - Sound of the Suburbs

Motley Crue - Girls Girls Girls

I think it has a lovely melody.

What I don’t understand is why we’ve not said to Bolton take butterworth till January till your takeover and players sign. He’d get every game under his belt, at a good level. If they couldn’t pay his wages then I’m sure it wouldn’t be that bad given he’s a lower earner here and unlikely to get that many minutes.

Additionally our fellow neighbours Bury could do with a player or two. Good PR exercise for our club too. 

Sod Bolton!

Bobby Vinton - Blue Velvet

Just got the ladies' team home shirt (men's XL size). Identical in every way to the men's team but with Watson Ramsbottom in a pleasing red to match the trim instead of 10Bet. Quite pleased...

What, all of the ladies team are men’s XL?

no bloody wonder they always win then!

Yeah I don’t think there’s much love lost between them mate. That said, there are people I worked with 30+ years ago that I wouldn’t go out of my way to socialise with either. 

I think Weller has mellowed a bit in recent years so it’s possible they will at least kiss and make up at some point. I met Rick in Glasgow a few years ago and he didn’t have a bad word to say about PW at all, which was cool. 

I didn’t know Right Said Fred had reformed?

?

Heard him interviewed on the radio recently Andy, Weller hasn't spoken to him since the band split apparently!

REM - Losing My Religion 

Well I counted three good saves there from the Leut, do we really need two new goalkeepers?

Lol.  That was the page when I opened it up!

Jogging days over for me with arthritic knees I’m afraid. 

That’s it. 

Personally love the rose with BRFC below it. This seems to be appearing on some of the new range of clothing 8n the roverstore. Picked up a pair of joggers with it on. 

 Wouldn’t be too sure of the accuracy of that article, it claims we adopted a Maltese cross in the 1970s!
