The pub - An event in 1977. The chap in the picture - surname is a rank in the Army/Airforce.

Nope - The pub in the background is a giveaway.

Come on you 80’s music fans, who is the chap in the white T-Shirt and where is this taken?

It’s like school boy football at times, but great to watch. Rovers goal coming you dirty PNE ****s

Any ideas who and where:

Those pics are superb. I saw the poster above for sale recently - £900 - drawing pins and a rip!!

Baby baby baby baby: THE casualty list tells its own story. More than 50 youths and girls were treated for fainting and shock, others complained of headaches and earache because of the noise. That was the scene at King George's Hall last night when 2,000 young fans welcomed chart - topping group Slade, back to North East Lancashire with their "Slade's Crazee Nite" Ten nurses and 10 male attendants from Blackburn branch of the British Red Cross Society, who volunteered for duty at the concert, had a hard job dealing with the casualties at their makeshift first aid post outside the main hall. Divisional officer Norman Lakin, who was in charge of the operation, said later "Since Slade came on stage we have had a constant stream of fans coming in here. Most of them have been treated for fainting and being crushed in front of the stage." Crushed "We have had one or two ill - with headaches and earache too. This is the hardest job we have ever had at a concert at King George's Hall." It was no surprise that some fans complained of headache and earache, and that many others were walking round with their fingers in their ears. For Slade are LOUD, too loud to listen to in comfort and certainly too loud for fans to really enjoy their music. Even in the bar at the back of the hall with the doors closed the sound was overpowering. But it did not seem to deter the hundreds of banner and scarf waving youngsters who packed the auditotium in front of the stage or the hundreds of others upstairs in the balcony. Football From the opening blast of "Take Me Bak 'Ome" to the dying echoes of the encore "Mama Weer All Crazee Now" most of them were on their feet, arms in the air, clapping and swaying to the songs that have taken Slade to the top of the charts several times in the past three years. Even with the so called quieter numbers like "When The Lights Go Out" and their current hit "Everyday" the scenes were more reminiscent of a football match than a pop concert. Slade had the fans chanting 'Rovers, Rovers' and singing 'You'll Never Walk Alone" During the most raucous number, "Get Down And Get With It" temporary barriers put up round the stage to cover last month's fire damage gave way under the crush of bodies. The support group, Beckett, had the unenviable task of opening the show. they have improved a lot since they played at the hall last year, but anyone who wanted to listen to them had to put up with chants of "We want Slade" and banners being waved in front of the group. They deserved a better audience with a selection of their own songs from their first album, and a version of Neil Young's " Southern Man" A 15 year old Fulwood girl, Pam Crook, won a cassette recorder in a competition at the interval to find the best dressed Slade fan.

One for OJF:

I must be getting old... Having read some of the posts on this page, several times, I’ve not got a Scooby doo whats being discussed 😃

The Lathums from Wigan, thought it was The Arctic Monkeys or The Coral when I first heard this track:

You can download it or listen again on bbc sounds DeeCee.

Thats a superb win away from home, Captain gets a double hundred, spinners actually spinning the ball and Anderson swing it round corners. The toss was key, but take nothing away from that performance, brilliant.

The last 4hrs has been really poor from England, they’re plodding around the pitch, no urgency, wake up!!

I’m not keen on this cricket social from BBC which has replaced TMS due to talk sport having the broadcasting rights. Cricket social is TMS crew watching channel 4 and talking about the game, it often descends into who can shout the loudest with little coverage of the game itself. I’ll be giving it a miss in future..

Michael Vaughan just made the point that Root is looking to make sure India has no chance of winning the match, he wants to give them zero hope on the final day, mind games. Vaughan pointed out that he would dangle the carrot, give them some hope, but every captains different. I'm with Vaughan.

Tampas defence has been exceptional, offence clinical from the old timers. I thought KC would win, but made up for Brady, is that 7 Super Bowls now.

I’d have seriously considered sacking him after the Huddersfield game, on the back of a draw at home to Wednesday and the last minute escape against Rotherham. That run of games was particularly poor, but we are still in the mix, I’d not sack him now. 16th places is irrelevant. Do you want Mowbray sacked Hoochie?

I answered JH question Hoochie, context never came into it. Do you want Mowbray sacked?

The question from JH wasn’t about context, it was about removing Bowyer and not Mowbray. The fact Bowyer had players sold from under him is irrelevant, he was sacked because we were heading to league 1. We are not heading to league 1 right now, I hope.

Bowyer left us just above the relegation zone with 17 points from 16 games. We are currently 6 points off a playoff place with a game in hand.

Jesus wept.... Did you support the club when king rat was here?

Pedantry in full swing as usual EA, the points still stand, Covid date changes not withstanding 👍

I think its fair to say that most posters on the site would be over the moon to see a managerial change. I've said on many occasions that as a club we aren't setup for promotion, far to many factors at play that make it almost impossible for us to progress, but thats just my opinion. I was looking at the managerial merry-go-round earlier and it makes interesting reading: Sheffield Wednesday and Bournemouth have changed managers twice this season. Udders, Derby, Boro, Brum, Reading, Barnsley, Forest, Watford and Cardiff have changed once. Looking at the list I would say only the change at Reading has made any significant difference, I'd also go as far as to say that they won't be in the Premiership next season either. Warnock has done well at Boro, but recent form has been awful, losing at home to us, Rotherham and Birmingham amongst others. Hughton at Forest has been poor, just above the relegation zone, some posters wanted him here. It doesn't prove anything, but I think it shows that most sides in the same bracket as us financially/looking for playoff spots have seen little or no improvement by changing the manager. A word for Gareth Ainsworth, who some tipped to replace Mowbray, 16 points from 26 games, awful return, no thanks.

India 76/4 chasing 578. I have to admit England have surprised me here, I didn’t give us a chance against a very good India side, especially at home.
