Penwortham Blue

Doesn’t it just, absolute scandal. Gray isn’t anywhere near Adam class 😡

The women pundits and presenters are turning up everywhere. I know it is 2024 but they are getting the gigs for PC reasons rather than credentials / insightful knowledge and it is bloody annoying.

Yep, looks likely that he will end up at Wednesday. I think he would be well worth a shout, definitely has talent.

Nada 🙈

To be fair, I did submit two questions to JE, 1) what were his aspirations / ambitions for the season and 2) what would he do if he wasn’t given the necessary backing in the transfer market or within the player budget. He did attempt to answer the first one but I don’t blame him for not covering the second one, he’s really between a rock and hard place albeit no doubt getting well paid for being in such a position.

Wouldn’t that be brilliant, back to the days when a local derby was a Boxing Day banker, on and off the pitch.

If the owners aren’t particularly interested, it would make good CSR as a local business and be welcomed by many of their local staff who possibly have Rovers credentials. Nothing wrong with EuroGarages or even Asda on the shirt.

😂

Quickest Academy cameo ever, that is bonkers ! Why sign in the first place, can only imagine that the family have decided to relocate back to the Netherlands 🤷‍♂️

Good on them. I would really love to take the moral high ground and say, enough is enough in protest at almost everything that our club has become but then I think, if someone like me doesn’t renew a ST, then who will and I don’t want my club to die. It is a very sorry state of affairs and I am sure, a situation many on this board recognise and agonise over.

A cheap ticket offer across the board, comparable to Knob End / Notlob was the only feasible option available to try and boost sales from a downtrodden and demoralised fan base that has had to endure nothing but shit for 14 years. A £30 early bird was never going to do it.

Would anyone be surprised 🤷‍♂️

Germany played same XI all three games.

Not 100% sure but I think they are all subject to VAR. if VAR thought it was clear and obvious mistake, would have advised the Referee. Looked like a penalty to me.

Apologies, I didn’t realise that Goozburger still had non renewals to subtract 🙈

Don’t want to be a naysayer but I would be very surprised if we have reached that number before the early bird finishes. If we have, then it will show that even the small discount and good kids prices have helped sales and that similar prices to Knob End / Notlob would still have had us at similar sales levels.

I agree, we could have sold more but to use Swag’s overall revenue tactics when dismissing the Notlob / Knob End cheap tickets, we are likely to be significantly down on revenue if full price sales have declined and U12’s increased.

Great option if we need a handball equaliser at the death to steal a play off place !

And the family head and owner, Edwin lives in Osbaldeston but the flip side is that it hasn’t made much money for the last few years and it apparently for sale.

We are desperate for cash, slashing playing budgets by 20% last year, forcing Adam W out the door to pay the bills and once again appear to have no budget for signings. Against this background, Swag takes the moral high ground and decides to forego the betting company coin and signs up the local solicitors for a small fee and a bag of revels ! Unbelievable

Brilliant, had many a good night at the Windmill in the early 80’s.

A reasonable point that just emphasises where this club has fallen to and of course, who is to blame for the shame of our deadline day fiascos, Swag plus Pune.

I imagine it was Totally Wicked who pulled the plug rather than Swag being proactive. If it was the latter, he has failed miserably and as you say, what a damning endorsement of the lack of aspiration this bloke is driving into our club. ‘We are doing all we can’ with no pressure on the manager to achieve anything other than survival and the local jobbing solicitors as the club’s major sponsor. No wonder JDT totally despised Swag, called him out whenever the opportunity arose and bailed out of our club despite loving the Ribble Valley life and the supporters and soul of the once proud Blackburn Rovers.

In ICI Perspex, we used to have a world renowned Blue Chip sponsor in the 1980’s under Bill Fox and then subsequently, McEwans Lager a leading brand of the 90’s and another brand of great local and international standing in Crown Paints. Shows just how much Swag the commercial incompetent has failed this once great club and brand.
