PNE had 15,800 on today, so 1,500 more than our gate against QPR. Possibly a few more Hull fans there, than there were QPR fans at Ewood. Not much in it then, despite their encouraging season ticket sales. If we carry on the way we’ve started (early days, I know) our walk-ons will increase and I’ll wager we’ll finish with a higher average than them.

It mentions the girls training up at Blacksnape. Obviously a typo but, anyone who has played in the Darwen League, will realise that Blacksnape is actually 859 ft above sea level, and not 80 ft. (Just checked on the OS map). The only other pitches in Lancashire, of a similar height must be those at Trawden.

I’ll do anything for the cause John and, whilst I’ve no reason to doubt your excellent memory, that pie throwing episode has been erased from the memory banks. 😆 Must have had some liver in it, to waste it on that lot.

Probably. No self respecting Darrener would be seen within a load of Nori though as most terraced houses in Darwen are made from stone 🙂

A good old fashioned Accrington Nori will do. Younger fans on here, just Google it.

And the comedians tonight were…

We should be aiming for a scenario like that AND keeping Brereton. We were told that we had a healthy budget and from Glen’s discussions with the CEO, confirmation that we don’t necessarily have to sell Ben, so why would folk want to get rid of a 20 goal a season man at this level? Kaminski, the above defence, Travis and Buckley in midfield, Brereton and Gallagher our main attackers, Dack and the other fringe players, the youngsters coming through, together two or three loan signings and we have the basis of a very good squad. One that, with the new Head Coach and team, should be pushing at least for a play off spot. Aim high.

There seem to have been several different problems with the online system so far. I gave up trying to buy my Celtic tickets online and simply rang the ticket office and did it over the phone. They are quite helpful there, so probably easier to do the same mate.

They reckon 7,820 have been sold on the other site. No explanation or source, just the aforementioned figure.

Well done Glen, compelling reading. The best series of posts ever on this forum. Can’t wait for your next updates around September time.

This could be a BRFCS comedy sketch.. I initially replied to 1864’s post thinking (with a reference to 1970) that he had mistaken Johnny Price for a fullback. I now realise that he was, in fact, talking about Chris Price. When you then stated that Price was a fullback, I countered with the info on Johnny Price, the winger. It was neither a tongue in cheek post, nor a patronising one. I was trying to make light of it, hence the smiley. 😆😆

Yes, he was a right winger who loved to kick the ball past the full back and simply use his pace to beat his man before getting a cross in. He was very good at it. You’re more than likely thinking of Chris Price but I’ll forgive you. 😆

There’s a good Celtic forum called Kerrydale Street. Sensible (and quite witty) posters, no juvenile swearing, baiting etc. Whilst they thought we were a tad physical, they also noted the size of our team and, yes, we do have some big lads who aren’t afraid to get stuck in.

Price was a right winger.

Left back position still needs addressing and quickly.

Founded as a means to fund a charity set up to eliminate poverty within the immigrant community of Glasgow. Have always had a policy of signing players from any denomination or background, unlike (cough, cough) another club I could mention. Yep, certainly seems like a vile club to me.

Where on the ground were you Andy and were we in our section loud enough?

Wifey just baking a massive humble pie. Let’s hope we all have to eat a large slice..

Not quite sure on the home kit yet (I’m nearly there) but the second and third kits are mint, as is the training gear. Polos and t-shirts look superb. Credit where it’s due and all that.

Soft, hypnotic music playing in Office Swag.. Right young man, Chaddy is it? Sit down, don’t be afraid.. Look into my eyes, look into my eyes, look into my eyes.. Snaps fingers. Job done.

I wonder if Chaddy has jumped off a block of flats yet?

The Wigan local rag is running with the Latics ‘closing in’ on Nyambe, bulling the situation up for them by saying they have beaten off competition from two French clubs and two in the top half of the Championship. Nothing more specific than that. A loss but not a great loss for me. A decent enough Championship player but one that should be able to be replaced assuming that we get our fingers out and do actually that. I’m hoping that both JDT and GB, with their Scandinavian links, are working on it. We were told that there was a ‘healthy’ budget and, whilst you obviously don’t want to show your hand in these matters, the lack of dialogue within the club (from owners to hierarchy down at Ewood) continues to be most frustrating for us, the fans. It would be great to be a ‘normal’ club once again.

Best of luck this afternoon Chadster. You’ll probably be there now as I type this. Give us a ‘Breaking News’ story at midnight. We’ll all tune in and send BRFCS trending into orbit. Just type :- (a) Yay, whooooohooo fucking whooo!! For good news and… (b) Bullllllllllshitttttttttt!! For bad news, before providing FULL, SPECIFIC details as soon as you can.

Wouldn’t get too excited about Nyambe going to Wigan. I heard at the rugby last Friday that they havent signed one first team squad player yet, in this window and also that for the last two months their wages have been paid late each time.
