It’s a Christmas blend I think of pie eaters (Wigan) and Donkey lashers (Blackpool)

I am pretty much the same.

No way is this going to be a cake walk.

The used to be funded by Trevor Hemmings and I would not be too surprised, if he has last some provision in his will.

It stands for Virtually private Network. Google it, as it is a very interesting concept.

It’s easy enough to make your laptop not be logged on in the UK.

I thought he did what he did free of charge. He once had the place rocking, after a transfer window and worked that hard, he slept at the training center. It can’t be easy unearthing talent that lives in your house, especially someone so good, he would walk into any side in the prem, other than the top six. Im surprised the queen has overlooked him so far, as you don’t get such great people, turning up to enhance the beautiful game, every day of the week.

It’s simple enough to allow the players who don’t want to sign, leave in January. That way, they won’t be a player who clinched promotion and therefore be entitled to the bonus. If this is correct ( I don’t trust the sun) then it is a great incentive.

I’m assuming that being tested daily means, every 24 hours. Would it not have been possible to test the players at 3.00PM yesterday and if all was well at that point, the game goes ahead. Surely that’s an easy thing to do?

Would there be anything to stop a team submitting more positive tests then there really were? Let’s say they were down to 14 fit and knew they were weakened. Send same players positive test in several times, bumping up the numbers.

Your Mrs must be a touch more understanding than mine was. Brilliant though and I take my hat off to you.

Simon, although to be honest, his late mother made me use Andrew as his middle name, as he was going to have Garner, had I got my own way.

I loved Garner and named my son after him.

Paul Dikov springs to mind and I love a player who does that.

It doesn't mention the one year option, in that article, so that could and should make all the difference.

There is the stadium tour, but I doubt that will include a look around the Riverside.

It would make one hell of a social media story, if the fans crowd funded a couple of grand and sent it to the club, with instructions on what it should be used for. I believe the club have been made aware of it, so let’s see what the response is, before that route is taken.

The biggest difference for me, was how we looked so vulnerable and not just at the back. I have always been a believer that we defend from the front and everyone has to be aware of their responsibility when we lose the ball. Last season, with the possession based game we were playing, we were just picked off on the counter, time after time and had gaping holes everywhere you looked. The most pleasing aspect of this season run, since the Fulham game, is everyone suddenly seems to be aware of this and we are snapping at the heels of players to win the ball back. No team flukes 5 clean sheets in a row, clearly this is now the mentality and despite the 7 in one game, conceding 9 in the last 8 speaks volumes. If Mowbray has drilled this into the squad fair play, as we haven't looked as solid as this, in over a decade.

There is worse than that one picture I sent and all I would ask is that someone in charge of ground maintenance takes a look and perhaps sorts just a general tidy up out. If this needs crowd funding, I am sure it can be arranged.

A quick message to this guy to gauge the interest, could be a good idea. I am happy to do it, but if anyone has any contact at the club, particularly in the comercial department, can they ask them to give this a go?

With the right kind of marketing, I bet the Rovers TV subscriptions in Chile at £10 per game, would go through the roof. Does anyone know, if this market has been tapped, as done the right way, it could help with the new contract deal BBD is looking for?

Maybe there are worse, but I bet there is nothing to compare it to, from clubs with Billionaire owners. As is stated, there is no excuse for it, as even FFP does not come into play, when spending money on ground upkeep.

Nothing wrong with nostalgia in the Riverside. I spent my first few years supporting Rovers there and have nothing but fond memories. There is still no excuse for letting it decay and have rubbish strewn around. I’m sure a little TLC would not go amiss and not result in a disproportionate increase in prices.
