Chances for the new season.

And now with our own SAS (Shebby & Steve) we can think about winning the premiership again within 2 seasons.

Kean to be sacked if he loses 3 in a row early on, whats your thoughts on this? Happy to suffer for a few weeks to finally be rid of him?

I want him out what ever it takes or we will go down again.

With Kean as manager just above bottom 6 finish with a new manager i think we should get promotion. I don't want to wait for Kean to lose 3 games it makes it harder to get back up.

Star, (and maybe Walkden Rover too) at this point the old fart comes in and says "do you remember when...?", Ipswich came to Ewood in the early 60's (62 or 63?), they had just been promoted from Div 2 and we thought they were a bunch of farm workers (not that there's anything wrong with that!). They stuffed us with some very clever modern football, no wingers apart from some ancient ploughman called Leadbetter and some clever center forward (R Crawford? the mind is challenged these days). Anyway they ran Rovers a dance and were said to be the team of the future, managed by a certain Alf Ramsey I think.... Nostalgia ain't what it used to be

Er no Duggy I started watching proper about 1965 the polio season,remmember having to go to Clayton clinic for a sugar lump.Read in the football annuals all about that great Ipswich side but never saw them play.

Duggy do you remmember that **** Curtis with Coventry first season we down,bejesus there was some dirty players around then.

Duggy that should say when we went down from the first division.

Star, funny I don't remember him but I can still see an animal for Leicester called Cross kicking lumps of my hero and of course that famous subtle Bolton pair of Farrimond and Hartle taking turns on Duggy one day at Bumden Park!

I remmember the bolton pair,course big sam was also a Bolton slugger,need only Walkden to join in and we will be the owd Rovers ,we three.
