the east lancs derby

[jordan12rhodes]

It has big importance for us now with promotion unlikely in the foreseeable future under the current management. Looking forward to re-establishing our superiority next season.

It's a pity Wigan and Blackpool have gone. Otherwise, with Burnley probably coming down and PNE probably coming up, there would have been an interesting East Lancs mini-league:

Rovers
Burnley
Bolton
PNE
Blackpool
Wigan.

Some good crowds too.

My fear is Burnley will dick us twice !

Not according to JR, who is in a spookily / unnervingly 'positive' mood

it won`t be the same burnley that face us. dyche gone, their better players gone..

[needle]

and you reckon we will be keeping our better players . Olsonn , Conway , Marshall , Rhodes , Gestede and King could quite easily all go . Also Cairney .

[jordan12rhodes]

I don't think so..

I don't think so, unless you know something nobody else knows..

What better players? we don't have any.

Needle,We had our chance and blew it.. I think the championship is a bit of a lottery to get out of and I would be extremely surprised if we went straight back up..
