I remember it well. I should really have kept the photo of Jack we held up on that day.

I held up the back page of the mirror,my hero was jsck.

 

[khmerblue]

Loved him to bits,when it was the alb
ion jack called in many times before he took over

 

[khmerblue]

Game off by all as accounts reschedule tomorrow.

Don't know why ..just gone through Crewe looked aw reet to me.

 

[khmerblue]

Seen the pitch full of snow and ice,one or two off their players needed another 24hr,to recover.

A bit too close to Saturday's more important match. Maybe Crewe have no undersoil heating and a frozen pitch, especially if it has been churned up before, is considered dangerous. Never stopped me when I was playing though.

 

[khmerblue]

Apparently they forgot to cover the pitch? ????????????

No undersoil heating at Crewe. If snow on the pitch then no covers used either. Bit stupid that.

I bust an ankle on a rough frozen pitch, also a bit stupid. At least it cut down on sliding tackles, unless the tackler wanted a shredded arse.

Idiots can't even take measures like the usage of pitch covers. Rovers should sue for the inconvenience just to send a message that the club won't put up with this kind of thing. That's exactly what I would do especially after last few years of being disrespected (mainly by the club but anyhow) take a harsh, no nonsense approach. Instead the club just rolls over like this kind of incompetence is acceptable.

And tomorrow it will be waterlogged...

 

[khmerblue]

Not seen any news of a postponment tonight,let's kick there arses.

 

[khmerblue]

No answer take it games on.

 

[khmerblue]

Are we playing tonight

Game's on tonight to my knowledge khmer. Stop stressing! The 'mighty Hull' await in the third round. That thought evokes many memories of Boothferry Park!

Shame the first game wasn't at Ewood really. Not really a venue befitting for such an occasion.

Was Jack's pic on the back page of the national newspapers (and I don't just mean for copies in Blackburn) when he passed? Jack's funeral wasn't even in Blackburn which was probably another act of vicious spite from his family.
