For a Club who's skint, we do like throwing what money we do have away dont we? How much money are we incinerating on Waggott and Baradji this season I wonder. That was shortly after Waggott bringing Dennis in on loan.

Gonna be a bit cold in November wearing that! Spot on though.

This is historic trivia of mild interest but there's still no evidence that a white jersey was worn for any significant length of time. The white shirt/Maltese Cross have no significance for or connection to the Club whatsoever these days and imo it will be appalling if a commemorative shirt is brought out along those lines. Would be ok if a white one AND a blue and white halved one were brought out then people could take their pick.

Tbf I didnt think he was that great when he was here, (probably gained a new lease of life from being out of this madhouse) BUT I think everyone was unanimous in thinking it was madness to release him at that stage of the window without any replacement.

He's certainly one of the first names you'd think SHOULD get a cap once you've got past Crompton/Clayton/Douglas etc. Not the most important thing to worry about at the moment by any means but even leaving Mowbray getting one aside, with all due respect Ian Miller doesn't exactly spring to mind as being a vital recipient, likewise Id pick Roger Jones before Terry Gennoe any day of the week. Hey ho. Hope Harry gets honoured soon.

Same. Rovers or nothing for me. That would also rule out any phoenix Club if it set up whilst we were still in existence. As tor Lancashire United.....pfftttt.

I wish the ground was still there - I'd only live about 250 yards away! No point me popping round there's no sign of anything whatsoever as far as Im aware - bit weird when you think about it. Of course if brfcs want to invest in some high tech x ray equipment to see what's beneath the tarmac and cobbles? 🙂

🤔

The whole caps thing has been irrevocably tarnished for me by giving one to Mowbray.

Lives locally I think. Maybe Mellor?

Ah yes.

Prior to the ban, it appeared that what he said in his columns and what he said in his podcasts were two very different things which I dont like at all. Since the ban he seems to have been doing a fair amount of brown nosing with his articles with the exception of the latest one for which the headline said we had to accept we were in a relegation battle. (Stating the bleedin' obvious, but still) It attracted the usual amount of derision from the two or three really obvious plants in the comments section but was received a lot better than usual in general so even they're starting to turn.

Regular? Played 45, 42, and 38 League games in his last 3 full seasons for us other than the one where he was loaned out to Ipswich. And even then it looked like he made 20 appearances.

There is meant to be a substantial clamp down on firesticks in the offing but yeah, his point still stands. Basic problem is the product is shite and we're losing at home every game. If we were doing well and in the play off places or maybe even if we had some players who got you on the edge of your seat there might be some incentive to go down.

I feel desperately sorry for ST holders. I know we're not comparable to PL Clubs in terms of price but it's still a fair chunk of money and a significant proportion of your time given up to see us lose practically every game. Judging by the crowds apparent on TV for the midweek fixtures it would seem a lot are voting with their feet already despite having paid for or committed to the ticket.

Nothing to see as long as the Wages, taxman and bills are paid on time.

I was wondering who the two stood with Suhail were as well.

Do you have a similar level of disdain for people who say stop going to a supermarket because the food is crap?

Rovers ground is specified as "M" on the plan and the large "MNO" plot which is unspecified stretches up past St Silas's School. The K plot behind Cheltenham St. is specified as Fox Delph. (Old Fox and Grapes Pub?) It would seem from the Key the Church was already there (N) so In conjunction with the drawing that was also shown on here it looks to me like we have a fairly precise location for the ground. To me it seems as though the ground started somewhere around Leamington Rd Baptist Church at one end stretching up in the direction of Sacred Heart Primary School at the other end with the side boundaries between New Bank Rd and Leamington Rd on one side and between what is now Lynwood Rd and Wellfield Rd on the other side further over in the direction of East Lancs Cricket Club. (Think someone else mentioned Wellfield Rd was formerly named Rover St earlier in the thread.)

The only ray of hope is, if they've come to a decision not to remove him at the moment - at least it might have been discussed in the first place.

Apparently the Coach that season was someone called Grant Brebner a Scottish man from Edinburgh who doesn't seem to have had any managerial experience before or after. Him and Kean seemingly worked at Reading at the same time years ago. Kean took over as interim manager in April until the end of the season when Brebner was sacked.

(Tin hat on) There's so much you can legitimately go at them on that I think this is a red herring and a bit of a coincidence which deflects attention from the real issues. A bit like the conspiracy rumours in the old days about Venky's not being the actual owners etc. Even if it's not sheer coincidence and say for the sake of argument Kean/Gestede/Waggott and Pasha have connections to or dealings with some of the same people or agents within the footballing world, what does it prove other than a bit of an old boys network?

It's obviously never going to happen but Im not so sure, the powers that be seemed remarkably think skinned when there was a modest amount of publicity around asking the (then) 3 stooges to stay away from matches.
