Like Ben Brereton.

He might as well, he's been false in every other position he has played. ???

During the 1998 World Cup the England players up for a daily media briefing decided to spice the interviews up by getting as many song titles in the interview as possible from a pre selected artist. I remember Shearer got Phil Collins and didn't arouse any suspicion neither did several other of the squad. They were rumbled when Southgate unfortunately drew Wham. When he was asked about the hotel his answer was "it's not exactly Club Tropicana here". Game over.

A good interview with Ridsdale who opens up on some topical things with some similarities to our club. Whilst I disagree with a lot of what he says at least he has answered some supporters concerns. https://www.lancs.live/sport/football/football-news/preston-north-end-peter-ridsdale-18861646

In all honesty Ian I didn't know it was Tom Petty ???

A 4-0 win against Barrow with a team including Mulgrew and Williams with Nyambe getting some game time. https://www.rovers.co.uk/news/2020/september/report-rovers-u23s-4-0-barrow-afc/

Each time I watch one of these Ian the opening music makes me think it's an episode of The Sweeney. ??

I do don't need to chill out but thanks anyway. If you find something depressing then it's fair to say it depresses you. You used the word depressing which I found odd when it's used in the context of a message board and people's opinions. Not trying to cause arguments but stating what you said.

Ah so you are prepared to visit a depressing message board for transfer news that you could get from other social media that might not be as depressing for you.

Why on earth do you come on then?

I really think it will be a case of penny wise, pound foolish as we progress and the pitch deteriorates through lack of investment. And then parts will have to be relaid at significant cost because of the penny pinching in the first instance.

Normally I wouldn't rise to the ridiculous 'hate' comment but I think I know who some are that he has fired his comment at and he couldn't be further from the truth. I know roughly what they spend on Rovers each season, the time they spend on Rovers and the extremes of emotions they go through. Criticism doesn't equal hate, it sometimes shows the opposite by wanting better for our club.

The head groundsman is Trevor Wilkin who has been there for years, even before Stevewas there. The pitch is suffering from a lack of investment. I heard that £30k is all he was allowed to spend this close season.

This isn't specific to Rovers but has some pertinent points which will resonate with many. https://www.lancs.live/sport/football/football-news/fan-comment-after-50-years-18851504

Similarly at some grounds I have heard announcements of players names over the PA of who are on and off when substitutions are made.

I think Brereton has a very low bar for people to judge and whilst he has looked better recently his mediocrity is now replaced by average in my view. I honestly don't see enough in his positional sense, movement, touch, aggression and general skill level to cut it as a regular Championship play and goalscorer. I really hope I'm wrong as we could do with 15 - 20 goals from him next season.

Mulgrew and his public outburst indicates to me that an impasse has been reached and there is no going back. However he holds all the ace cards with one year left on his deal worth around £750k to him. The options are for him to sit on the contract, take a settlement to cancel his contract and become a free agent or go out on loan for the season. From Rovers perspective the loan option would at least give a return on his wages albeit a small one. From Mowbrays position I can't see him wanting to keep the influential senior professional at the club when he has publicly undermined him. Underpinning all that though to me was the decision to give a three year deal worth over £2m to a 32 year old with a history of injury.

I don't understand why they didn't arrange it for Brockhall once it was confirmed BCD. Yesterday there seemed to be quite a few stewards who were stewarding absolutely nothing but as it was a league cup match it had to be at Ewood and as such stewarded. These would have to have been paid for a friendly in the same empty stadium. Brockhall with its decent pitches would serve exactly the purpose of a pre season game.

He did ok Andy. I thought the Donny penalty was bought by their player who threw himself to the ground when Lenihan yanked his arm. He played some decent advantages and his foul detection was good (penalty aside). I did hear though that he models his game on Clattenburgs though............

I'd be amazed if JacktheladfromWrexham contributes the arse end of anything to the club himself.

But last seasons BCD Saturday 3 pm kick off away from home were part of the deal to season ticket holders at Rovers (presumably most clubs did the same). I think extenuating circumstances was the reason cited but those circumstances are still relevant for the foreseeable. As somebody mentioned it seems like clubs are looking to capitalise on the situation.

Yep, clear as mud ?. So essentially Rovers have just over three weeks to get season tickets on sale and sold it they want to comply with the EFL statement. If they don't sell them then it's £10 for each individual game but they can't offer weekend away games.

Is the 'season ticket package' referring to the clubs season ticket or an iFollow season ticket?

I have no idea either but on the face of it it seems strange.

I didn't read it like that. Whichever way the wording is poor and ambiguous. Sky Bet Championship Streaming Championship Clubs are able to stream any match not shown live on Sky to fans who purchase individual match passes for £10. The new framework for Season Ticket Holders allows Clubs to have the option to provide streams of: · All home matches, including those shown live on Sky · Any midweek away match, including those shown live on Sky Clubs cannot provide access to any away weekend match, live on Sky or not, within a season ticket package.
