Match Thread THANK YOU ROVERS

[Lancashire lad]

Today our junior team Astley and Buckshaw under 10s (from Chorley) were treated to a unbelievable day by rovers community. 10 till 11 am the lads were coached by the team on the indoor pitches and played games against a couple of other teams from Blackburn area them before kick off they flag waved on the touch line ( even getting an appearance on sky??) .The best was yet to come as half time approached we told the lads there going on the pitch to take penalties,they simply couldn't believe it!! The match and atmosphere was great and hopefully this will lead to these going live football and not thinking football is a Xbox game..many thanks rovers

On side note the day got even better as we went to watch Chorley FC after the match,the came from 2 down and beat league above barrow 3-2 infront of 2000 fans..What a bloody day

I would believe a comment from someone at the game over TV on a non league fixture.

Hang on guys, of course I believe Chorley won.

Just typical of the appalling drift in BBC standards that they failed to get any scores from the FA Cup until hours after final whistles and they got that one wrong.

At least we are not waiting for the first round draw whenever it is made...

Jeff Stelling was reading them out on Sky at 5ish, as you say Phil nothing from the Beeb for hours, poor do.
