I was at an event at Ewood a couple of weeks back and the pitch was looking splendid with a £200k full pitch nylon stitch. I did hear that Rovers were offered £1m from the FA for a full pitch refurb but turned it down as it was Women's’ FA funding and would have required our women’s team to have played at Ewood all season. They have moved to the Lancashire FA ground in Leyland except for four games at Ewood.

 

[Drog]

They might take that offer now!

I think we will struggle and possibly go down this year. The circus continues of the pitch meanwhile.

 

[Old Darwen Blue]

Wow such negativity!

He said he was hoping other clubs might throw there hats in "in the next few hours" but Ash is leaving imminently

 

[Drog]

I'd bloody love someone to nick him from under spur's noses.

Bit of news for the new season..........
STADIUM CLOCKS

Apologies for this late notification but I only received the following information regarding stadium clocks late this afternoon.

Late on Thursday night IFAB informed the EFL (and all other leagues) that they are now willing to relax the policy with regard to stadium clocks, score board or giant screen timers finishing at 45 and 90 minutes.

From the start of the 2023/24 Season stadium clocks can now be left running until the referee blows for the end of the first half (half time) and again at the end of the second half (full time) with the actual time, including the time added on at the end of each half being displayed.

With the revised calculation for additional time coming into effect from this season, this will of course keep spectators and indeed players informed, and is a key innovation in ensuring further transparency in regard to game management.

Some key points to note:-

• Additional time displayed by the 4th Official at the end of each half is a minimum time and play may go on longer than the minutes displayed. The fact it is a minimum time should be covered by the stadium announcement;

• Stadium clocks should be left running until the actual the Referee has blown his whistle to end the first half and then at the end of the second;

• Clocks must be reset at the beginning of the second half which should start at with 45 minutes being shown; and

• Match Officials will cover this during pre-match briefings.

I trust that you will find the above to be self-explanatory.

Keeping the cocks going in the stadium. Wow, that is revolutionary stuff from the EFL muppets.

 

[Dunnfc]

We are going down or going to be right there. Sad to day

Ending of daylight saving will be confusing then
