And good willy whist we are on the subject.

We couldn’t last year, in their first season back at that level.

I'm almost certain Alex played for Stanley too.

He did look good early doors.

He did marry Christine Kitchin, a Darwen Girl.

He did.

Two others that spring to mind, due to having business dealings with them both are Peter Divine and Alex Binnie. Pete lived in Darwen last time I spoke to him and Alex (real name John Alex Binnie) lives in Bacup. Alex lives with Jan Meadowcroft one of the twin daughter's of the late professional snooker player and commentator Jim Meadowcroft.

That's him. Thanks

I can't remember his first name, buy we signed a striker whose surname was Anonda. I remember being away somewhere shortly after we signed him and a song was being sung. Whose that coming over the hill is it Anonda? Can anyone clarify I haven't dreamt that one?

No point in bringing unwanted attention to the owners and making a fool of yourself on TV such as the we are confused interview. Plug away in the second tier and stay under that radar, as that way no awkward questions will be asked.

That's dedication for you and one I can recognise from the old red Ribble bus days.

Rovers are not for sale and I reckon that's at any price. I have my theories on why, as I remain baffled as to why this is and why they seem to be losing money every year and a project they have zero interest in.

Blackpool 0 Rovers 2. Think we will click tomorrow tonight and bring back the points. Big week as 6 points and a couple more signatures will change the mood, big time.

A game of two halves. We could have been 2 or 3 down at half time. Given that we weren’t the second half was far better and we deserved at least a draw. Adam Wharton was excellent, as was Hedges and they made a big difference. Ayala pure class and I hope we can keep him fit. Ref had a mare and probably cost us the point we deserved. Blackpool game becomes crucial now, in terms of defining the season and lifting the spirits of both players and fans.

Mods!!!

I think someone on here, put some decent money on Bradford to win on Tuesday. Odds can be miss leading, but given that I spotted this when doing my weekly accumulator I thought I would share it.

The Van is at Kwik Fit at the minute, having new tyres and an exhaust fitted. The slight problem is, it is the branch in Pune and they are known as slow fit there.

Alan Myers sent a tweet out about him and I said Venkys seem to be holding out for £20million. He replied to say he can't see him being sold for that much. He did then acknowledge that Venky's do tend to hold out for whatever the figure is.

I think we will win this one and maintain the 100% home record.

Worst quiz show ever and I am game for a laugh.

Intack Van hire is on his way.

It’s playing poker with a mask on so far as Venky’s are concerned. You can’t read your opponent’s poker face from the outreaches of Pune.

No tin hat needed. I think you put forward some good points and would say this is more like what this site is all about.

Good all Craig. He lives close enough to Ewood to be a fan, but I somehow get the impression he sees Rovers as more of a business opportunity than a team he has a soft spot for.
