Hopefully numbers will be available and will show us the strength in numbers on this.

I have been worried about the recruitment of players for about 10 years now and I think we have seen time and time again, that not all of the recruitment, is for the betterment of BRFC.

There is a firm called Venkycob on twitter I think, who have some link with the owners. i will dig it out and send it their way too. We could do with a decent journo publicising this.

It was posted on here too, by way of a reply, but interesting to note, that replies have now been disabled. It was visible for about 4 hours though, so plenty know about it. Mowbray says U23s could get first-team chance this season | Lancashire Telegraph

Unless people retweet, or reply, you can't tell how many read it. I have copied it to Rich sharpe though and directly asked him, has he read it? No reply from him as yet.

I did it and post as stated under @mortgagecarl Happy to forward a screenshot if anyone wants one.

Simon Garner is a club legend and neither Rhodes or Armstrong are anywhere near.

And also sack the current leader of the planning department, replace him with the tea lady, as she wants to make sure, everything is top notch.

Exactly so makes no sense. Don’t forget who spotted that player too.

I fully agree and even to this day, I am pretty certain Venky's do not make all the decisions. Strikers are the players who go for big money, backed by two, at big prices and no defenders like you say.

I would be extremely surprised if we don't see a contract extension this year and will also be surprised, if it isn't at least for two further years, taking him to the end of the 2023/24 season. I don't say that because he deserves it, but feel as though the venky's have been badly advised line and have now learned their lessons, is as far from the truth as you can get. Someone somewhere is still allowing crazy decisions to be made and I think this will just be another one of them.

She is that careful, she had two done last time. Despite that, we carried on losing millions every year. They are still being badly advised, by the looks of things.

After that, it’s a sale and rent back job. Similar to poor old Bury. This is not going to end well.

It’s a nice feeling waking up on a Sunday morning, to another big Rovers win. The stand out player for me yesterday was Holtby. A great team performance, but thought he pulled the strings and I think we have a real player on our books, with him.

Mine seems to start off about that and it keeps on freezing and the more that happens, the further behind it seems to get.

Its buffering a lot and tends to end up about 3 minutes behind real time, because of it.

Not many clubs will be in a great position when the current awful situation comes to an end. I dread to think how our finances are going to look and although we can't blame Venky's for that bit, they have put us right on the very edge, with the complete mess they have created over the 9 years at the club.

Let’s hope Preston continue their poor form, as that could be key to our chances.

The next home game is V Bristol City. They have a tough fixture next week, so we could go into that fixture, even closer. Preston will then be the next target, who on paper, have some winnable matches coming up. The outcome of those could decide our fate.

Hope we can make it and the best chance really would be if we don’t suffer any more injuries. A win against Derby next Sunday, would give us the boost and momentum again and we will have the advantage of know how PNE have got on. If they lose and we win, we could be sixth.

Graham on after an hour will change this. Win it 2-0 after looking like a draw all night

I take nothing for granted, after our losses to the likes of Charlton and Luton at home. I do think we are capable of beating Derby and Cardiff away and would hope we can win one of the home games, against either West Brom or Leeds. We beat BCFC away, so why not at home too? If we can collect 12 points from those games, I am sure we will make the play offs.

So sad

He did, at 2.00PM with his wife son and daughter in law at his side. I got the message from Helen, his daughter in law, shortly after he passed away. She had told me earlier in the week, he was near the end. he was a great guy Brian and I have a lot to thank him for, as I wouldn’t have been where I am in business today, without him. I spent many an hour with him at his office in Leyland, chatting about football and all sorts of other things. There is a tribute to him on the Telegraph site and it is quite a nice piece RIP Brian you are one of life’s special people.
