Didn’t know you were a City fan, Skip?

That players we expected to be depart in June without question either aren’t or are in talks to stay.

We should have seen this coming in January when Hart was given a new deal.

Gladwin has spent two years injured and hasn’t ever stood out at League 1 level previously. Can’t even begin to comprehend that one. Bet he thinks Christmas has come early. That is not a retained list of a club looking at whole scale improvement of the squad.

To be fair to Villa. Historically and in the present day, a bigger club than Leeds any way you measure it. Yet, they get nowhere near the same media love in.

Because as crowds dwindled post 2012, so did the Darwen End. If the club now wants to grow its crowds again, why not work with fans to re-create one. Work on flags/banners etc? Club after club are setting them up, and the large demographic of such areas are young adults. They aren’t coming currently, so we just say ‘well they bloody well should!’ And that’s that? As I’ve always said, the key to increased crowds is increased season ticket sales and there are many ways to attempt that. What’s to lose?

Should be both. Just like it is elsewhere.

Course they can. But what you find is that the folk that get involved in a sing song away from home, either don’t bother with home games ‘cos they’re shit’ or they are scattered across different stands, ergo nowt really gets going. A lot of clubs have cottoned on to this, so are now setting up designated, unreserved areas to encourage it.

There are a hell of a lot of young adults that go away but rarely set foot on Ewood. Will this new category of ticket entice them in? A few, perhaps. But the majority think 'the atmosphere at Ewood is shit'. A singing SECTION promoted to such fans would be a great idea and I think would see decent numbers getting involved.. Maybe next year ay?

It’s a price freeze with a new category for young adults. No reductions for full price tickets. Will that on its own see a big increase? Not for me. Couple it with a singing section and then promote the hell out of it and we’d be getting somewhere.

They really rated their Polish full back who handed his notice in, presumably going back to Germany...

Excellent use of the non Championship thread for Bolton, JH.

This has been my go to site for 20 years and the quality of the podcasts etc are the best they’ve ever been. And I can imagine for those outside Lancs this place is a fantastic way to really feel part of the Rovers conversation. Even though we are the ‘biggest load of negative bastards on the Internet’ (We are usually right though )

Because of the 'Hundred', it's going to be a 'development' competition from next season, so the Checkatrade of cricket...

Lowest league crowd of the season. Play offs matches aren’t covered by season tickets. So no surprise, as just like here, a good number of season ticket holders just don’t buy match tickets.

What happened to longsiders? Or Sam Dingle?

2pm - Talks about Descartes, metaphysics and disestablishmentarinism and how it relates to an away game at Barnsley. 5pm - knocks the opposing manager out in the tunnel and is boxed in in the car park as he tries to do a runner by local plod

Big Brexiteer is their owner, he has big billboards about it on his land around Wesham, Lytham etc.

Fylde had 700 fans, I believe.

They’d done bugger all for years before this season.

I’ve a lot of time for the likes of West Brom, Wolves, Derby County. Proper, provincial football clubs full of tradition, like our good selves.

I thought he had improved a bit second half of the season. But he looked completely past it last week, bad timing for him, but let’s hope it made TM’s decision for him.

Don’t want to be the one to break it to you Rev, but Mulgrew signed one a few months ago... until 2021

I really thought it had legs, because I heard it from a few different sources who aren't exactly Madon spying on Brockhall with binoculars accurate, but not bad.

No truth in the disbanding rumour then.
