Cheers. It was the 1973 game I was thinking of. 5-0 v Watford Tony Field scored twice and I think one was after beating a few men! Furphy's last league game in charge I think.

Was it not Watford? Mind you am getting old!

Me too, Went on a bus from Chorley. Bit lively as I remember!

Ah Yes! Missed it!🥵

Nonsense I know but good memories!!

Am listening to Tony Blackburn's Sat Morning 60s show on BBC Sounds catch up. Guest presenter this morn was Petula Clark She's just played Wandering Star, Lee Marvin. Who remembers singing it at Ewood?! 'I was born in The Blackburn End'. Remember the verse, 'Knives are made for stabbing, guns are made to shoot If you come in The Blackburn End we'll all stick in the boot'.

The Trafford, Sale Altrincham Tram line is very popular but property gets pricier as you go towards Alty.

Good knowledge!

Liked Fauda. Just finished it.

😀

You made it a rule? Not very PC!

Well done Phillipl. Disagree with most of your posts but that's politics and you certainly have passion for your beliefs and The Rovers, Good luck for that! Happy and prosperous New Year to you and all on BRFCS. And thanks to the mods for keeping the site going!

Happy New Year all. 🍾

Mmmm. Any reason stated?

DR, I was there. Got there late and they put us behind the goal. A flyer was handed out at the next home game with the song lyrics (I've still got the flyer somewhere) Sung to the Tune of 'The Floral Dance' (I kid you not) 'I thought I heard the curious tone of the Burnley fans as they start to moan. Hard to smile when you're three goals down Rovers giving you the run around. Sometimes It's hard to win away but not at Burnley on a Boxing Day. Merry Xmas All

72. No age.

Remarkably he meant it!

Mowbray really has to deliver. Nothing against him personally but he's had long enough.

Anyone remember Halifax away? Think about 73/74. Carnage!

COYB!

Obviously.

Prob cos they are legally contracted to play there.

I am getting even more senile but did they have a 'Disco' there in the late seventies . Maybe Thurs night?

Spot on. Ta

Used to drive past there to games from the Dressers . Was it the Hordon Rake? And what was the massive pub further on on the left. Think now a supermarket.
