Well we know now they'll not be letting the club go before then with all the publicity they'll cream from this. Live beam back to India probably and Venky posters all over the stadium. Mind you they'll have to put the cameras back in the JW gantry for that one Clowns.

Very much looking forwards to Crolla he's always been good to watch and it's another fight where it's hard to pick a winner. He's enough about him to do it though. Also with Fury withdrawing and AJ booked in Manchester on the 26th Nov there could be a big one gets made there if Wlad fancies it and some of the other belts become vacant .

He's got the PEDS hearing hanging over him which I think is at the heart of all this. He never ever wanted the rematch and they've tried to wriggle out of it since Klitschkos mob announced they were forcing the contract clause. There's been no mention of the mental issues until now because they've been trying to talk him into it because the rest of them are only interested in the £££. He doesn't want to fight anymore he wouldn't even agree any mandatories or pay step aside money and sanctioning fees to put them off. He might well have some issues and I hope he gets sorted it's no laughing matter if your in a dark hole but if regular sightings over the past year are to be believed he's had a good time getting himself there. Modern day James Buster Douglas.

Surprise surprise Fury v Wlad is off again. Knew this was coming as a guy I know lives near him and word is he hasn't trained a day since this was announced again. His head and heart have gone and all the brass has gone to his nut, pity as he may have got drilled this time. People are finally seeing through this unsavoury lot !

Post of the day

Didn't know Peterborough was a city and with a pop of c190k as well. Always thought it was smaller than Blackburn for some reason, plenty potential for Posh there then. Anyway back to Elton I think he'll sell out down there but not sure about up here. Anyone know what the capacity will be for this gig ?

Venkys again ! Gave us Coyle when we could have had Warnock now they give us Elton when we could have had Maiden ! Venkys Out !

Someone said Iron Maiden are touring UK next year so sack Elton off and give him an NDA. Elton out, Maiden in !!!

Great news. They had a similar old cinema in Chorley which stood empty for years and years then they flattened it so place hasn't had a cinema since god knows when. So many things they could have done with it.

Was dragged to see him in Manchester by an ex a few times about ten years ago and although not really a fan I thought he was really good. Voice was noticeable even then but for a live artist he still sounded ok although it was in Manchester Arena or whatever it was called at the time. Not sure how he'll come across in an open stadium.

The Old Man Of Pune Suite ?

It could be the first time Jacks old suite will have been used in about 3 years if they turn up !

Agree. He's a good fighter but he's played the fool over GGG asking for daft money when most would have fought him for nowt. He'll never get the type of money he was first asking for he's virtually unknown outside UK and holds the least regarded belt. Can't believe he's got away with not being forced any mandatories or giving anyone else a shot to keep himself active and earn a few quid. As dicks go he falls right in with the Eubanks who he constantly slags off, ducked that rematch as well by saying he was after triple G. Stalling tactics all around. Mind you he is Furys pal..............

Late budget cuts by the loons will mean no floodlights just a candle in the wind on Reg's piano and they'll cancel his backing band and loan a couple of young artists in for the night instead !

Will the cruncher open the BBE upper tier though that's the big question......

How many will Elton bring though ?

If it's from Turf Moor odds on it's a complete myth

Eltons the biggest diva in pop music, disrupt one of his concerts at your peril If he was a true football man he'd refuse to play a stadium owned by club wreckers.

Maybe his reward for helping open those shops was a share in Rovers and now he's kicked back in Brunei and never had to work since as the Rovers royalties roll in

Acorn ate some of that chicken after opening those shops and has never been seen since.

A nice way to calm the natives after we've dropped into league 1 maybe ?

Could be although they signed to fight a while back supposedly with both allowed a warm up which is why they let Khan have a go. Most sources say that Golden Boy reneged on the agreement so GGG gets his money spinner Khan type fight and Alvarez gets the Smith gig in front of his own fans on Mexico day. Both lucrative and both only medium risk. Yep all about the money again probably. If they are going to fight its still going to be a while off as Golovkin has mandatory next and they'll want that WBO belt as well I think. BJS should be stripped of that for doin nothing.

Other than triple G I can't see anyone stopping Alvarez at the min. Was of the opinion he was a bit overated once over but he's developing into a top notch fighter although I still have a pic of Floyd schooling him in mind. Poor form they keep ducking Golovkin but he's golden boys cash cow so expect a few more of these mismatches for Canello.

Yes. Canello must walk around at about 13 stone he's a beast. Easy saying now of course but I did feel it was a tad too early for Smith to take this on.

About 3am.
