How about  accommodation (Premier Inn & Holiday Inn express ) at Cuerden/Bamber Bridge. then a short taxi ride to Bamber Bridge station & train to Mill Hill? Just a thought.

Sold out now too. I always stay in the Fernhurst. Any other ideas?

If you check on line The Dunkenhalgh has availability through Expedia. Or you might want to try a hotel in Preston. 

[Doaksie]

Cheers all

Flying into Liverpool so just playing safe and going for there. Plenty of choice. 

With the party atmosphere, I want this to be the memory maker for my 5 year old. The one to get him 'hooked'.

No. Full on their website. I'd not planned to get over again this year, so a bit last minute. Looks like it's further afield and a hire car. Nothing wrong with that.

Have you tried Dunkenhalgh? Nearer to Accy, but only a 10-15 mins drive in a taxi, usually charge about £10 for that journey. The Astley bank in Darwen will be free, but it will be about £150 for 2 nights.

Dunkenhalgh and Astley bank both available for your stay. Darwen is a good night out as well if you go Astley.

As well as the Bamber Bridge Premier Inns there’s one very close to Preston station. With that you don’t need a hire car or taxis, you can just take the train.

Premier Inn - two minutes walk from Preston Train Station. Trains to and from Blackburn are every 20 mins/30 mins.

The Dunkenhalgh is nice. Stayed in it once before. The problem is the 5th is the wife's birthday, can't stay anywhere too nice or she will want to sabotage me and the boy's trip! 

Can't remember the last time I struggled for accommodation on a trip over. Usually Fernhurst - done. As somebody else alluded to; that's a great sign. 

I'll sit down tonight and weigh it all up, but there's a few options there. Cheers guys

She can always go to the spa? Two birds one stone.

Shhhhhhhhhhh Mike ?

Nah, I did think that was a good idea. Under the guise of birthday weekend away. And still get our boy's day out. Win win. Might be time to dust the credit card off....

Is that a new spa treatment? might have to book myself in there next trip over

[Claytons Left Boot]

The Clarettes could only manage 19.4k today, so probably around 17k Dingles in attendance. I think we can smash that.

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

Pretty much sure that is smashed already CLB...with still a week of Sales to go!

[Blue n whites]

I've yet to get mine yet but looking at what's available it's either the last block in riverside or Darwen end. 

I'm bringing a few blokes from dunfermline. as well as a few of my nephews mates from school 

They don't usually get to go due to money but it would be rude not to offer at them prices.

I'll be ordering 11 tomorrow .

Well done! 

I would love the Club to have to open BBE Upper to accomodate all and get Ewood rocking to the rafters.

Enjoy.

When was the last game where Ewood was a sell out does anyone remember? 

Never has technically sold out even when we won the premiership

I might swap Bennett and Travis around.  I'd also play Luetwiler. Other than that I'd do the same. I'm not mad about either of our strikers playing as wingers but we seem not to have much choice.

Travis is centre midfield player. Mowbray has played him there. Also every time ive seen him play in as played centre midfield for under 23's

You’ve clearly watched barley any U23 football. Travis is a full back.

Why Leutweiler? He’s barely played any football this season. He’s conceded and we’ve lost both games I’ve seen him in.

He's the reserve goalkeeper.

Ok but is that the only reason you’d choose him ahead of a well-earned League debut for Fisher?

The worry is that Mowbray keeps Leutweiler next season to use as the international break card and block Fisher’s progress.

Bit of an insult to both players really.
