Incredible support last night , my TV was bouncing ! The Championship will miss the loud and unique atmosphere your fans produce home and away . The supporters and team couldn’t have given more last night . It’s now down to your board to appoint the right manager and back room staff to get...

Tragic and very sad . Thoughts and prayers Rest in Peace

To be honest it’s going to be a tough call . Probably have to win at least four of the last six and hope other results go our way . It’s been pretty dreadful since January, injuries haven’t helped and the side is I think the second youngest in the division. In one game we had six academy...

I think it’s because we have such a big ground , capacity of almost 32,000 with around 7,000 in the Darwen End . Hopefully pay on the day will push you well over 4,000 which is a good effort after Tuesday’s disappointing result .

Watched the game on Sky and thought the build up and atmosphere created by both sets of fans was first class . Great to see two proud Lancashire town clubs head to head , in front of circa 20,000 fans . Unfortunately I thought the match was a bit of a let down . Lots of blood and thunder but...

Cheers SPS . I just come from the view that we’ve four fantastic Lancashire town clubs , more or less all the same size with more or less the same size of core support . We’ve all had our ups and downs ( rumour had it Rovers couldn’t pay the milk bill at times in the 1970s - some of ours...

Tremendous old fashioned centre forward . My departed dad ( who was a Burnley fan - we lived in Accrington) used to regale me with stories of the battles Andy and Rovers centre half , Mike England used to have in the early 60s cotton town Classicos , a few years before I started supporting the...

Just a note from a Rovers fan . Let’s face it Rovers , PNE , Burnley and Blackpool are more or less similar sized clubs , with roughly the same core of fans , give or take a 1,000 or so . The Rovers are the most recent to have climbed the heights due to Uncle Jack putting in big money to...

North End brought circa 4,500 this season . Rovers tend to charge big money for tickets in the big derby games . I think ( and stand to be corrected) the PNE tickets were £30 .

I think you’ll get the whole end which from memory holds 7,000 . North End filled it a couple of years ago ( pre - pandemic)

I don’t follow Rovers away these days , can’t stand ( or sit with ) the idiots that tend to go away ( Rovers aren’t unique btw ) . I mentioned in the Blackpool v Rovers thread , son went and like Mowbray , thought your fans were different class that day . At the moment and I think some of its...

Another Plastic here 😉 Poor show from North End and Mr Ridsdale. An idiot for spouting off like that on Twitter . Their ground is more than big enough to house the home fans that want to go , with enough seats left for Blackpool to have all one end . These historical Lancashire town derby...

The way Critchley is managing Blackpool reminds me of the start of the Sean Dyche era at Burnley . Dyche was backed by a great set of directors and was given free reign to manage the club . His achievements have been nothing less than amazing . Burnley’s average crowd this season under 17...

Congratulations chaps , excellent victory by all accounts , you can’t beat winning a proper Lancashire town derby . After beating the Rovers and PNE , you currently have the bragging rights - enjoy . Just a word of warning , don’t show this to a PNE fan because after yesterday their cup of...

Good to hear AM . I was there between 1969 - 76 , a year below Lawrenson . I had a Rovers supporting brother who was there from 1962 - 69 and Burnley supporting brother who was there from 1966 - 1973 . We were an Accrington family so geographically half way between the two towns . As well as...

We had that too at Preston Catholic College . They were nicknamed ‘ cracks ‘ because of the noise the ferula made when it hit your hand . Usually doled out in threes , sixes , nines or twelves . Although from Accrington , my parents thought PCC rather than St Mary’s Blackburn was a better...

Rovers fan since 1967 , seem some bad , good and great times . Although I didn’t attend on Saturday my son reported back . Typical of many Rovers performances under Tony Mowbray. Flattered to deceive as we have some very talented players , but TM’s tactics , plan , organisation is found...
