  1. Open week? Who do you fancy to win? I always want Westy.
  2. Spot on. The Tiger Woods mentality: 'I'm going to try and win, what's the point of being in the tournament if I'm not trying to win?'
  3. Played 36 at Sunningdale yesterday in a work comp, and happened to be paired with an ex-pro who works at one of our shops essentially turning it into a teaching round too. Honestly, bucket list stuff. My handicap is 17, and the World system meant I played off 19 on both courses. New course first, hit 90! On a Championship course! Dream stuff, including a birdie and a couple of good pars, as well as an 8 after getting stuck in a pot bunker. Old course in the afternoon, immaculately cut and pins placed ready for the Senior Open Championship in 2 weeks. Shot 94! Again managed a birdie on a driveable par 4! Incredible experience. When are us lot going to get on a course??
  4. Anyone else getting a nasty feeling that 3 at the back may be returning?
  5. A bellows is like an old school manual pump to pressure air (into an air bed for example). Not sure it's a word that fits.
  6. Have a look on FootballTown for versions of 'Red Rose'
  7. Absolutely appreciate all those risks, of course. I only view administration as a last resort (I certainly don't SEEK it), but don't feel it's all that doom and gloom from a rebuilding perspective. In fact, I think it's inevitable under these owners unless they take the Walker approach and get in a proper CEO and management. They would've been heroes if they'd only left Williams, Finn, Goodman and Big Sam in situ for a bit and upped the £5m to £10m.
  8. A £1 football club with no debt, but a ton of history behind it and a solid core fanbase for a L1 level at worst? Perfect business sense. Clubs with less than that are absolutely bouncing after administration. Not saying it's my preference btw, but don't pretend it'd kill a club like Rovers. As for who and where they are, we've had at least 3 bids for Rovers in the public domain since 2010. I know of one who's sitting back and waiting for the chance, and I'm sure there are others. Venkys' lack of willingness to sell is the only reason we haven't been sold, it certainly isn't for lack of money.
  9. Why will it? Hasn't killed a while host of smaller clubs than Rovers. One even went on to win the PL after administration in L1.
  10. By contrast, a Bolton fan mate of mine received a leaflet, voicemail, text and email all on one day inviting him to become a STH. Bolton ffs.
  11. Recorded both purely by your recommendation :)
  12. Just look at Hughesy. Loaned Bentley initially from Arsenal.
  13. We've stopped going to Domino's as a direct result of that advert! We now get our pizza night pizzas from Checcos, GT Harwood.
  14. I think he's been going despite all of those reasons anyway. The manager's delusions are the final straw.
  15. Bennett? A legend? In the same bracket as Shearer? Tugay? Friedel? Hendry? Garner? Parkes? Douglas? Clayton? Crompton? Elliott fucking Bennett?
