Sold Wharton to Palace for a fortune to prop themselves up. They're treading water now.
May 28, 20242 yr Szmodics will go for good money. Got a number of quality kids too which hopefully they'll have to raffle off on the cheap.
May 28, 20242 yr They have a great record of producing young talent and picking up good young players and selling them on for a tidy profit. Something for us to aspire to. While laughing at their support obvs.

May 28, 20242 yr The third phase begins on Monday, July 22 and the club will also be running a new loyalty scheme designed to reward fans for engaging with the club at all levels. Season tickets can be purchased via the official ticketing website and will earn 120 loyalty points, which will now be used to decide the priority for away tickets.

My cousin is Blackburn and when discussing how shite it was to have no scheme but only away STs said We have a different approach, which frequently involves umpteen different tranches of availability but at least gets the prioritisation of eligibility right.
May 28, 20242 yr Blackburn will only need a loyalty scheme for Burnley away, but good on them for doing the work to make sure it’s done properly. We don’t need one despite a quarter or more of away games being fastest finger first 🙄 Do have to chuckle at Blackburn and Latics having a combined total of 3,000 season tickets, mind!
May 28, 20242 yr We’re the biggest Lancashire club by a fair distance…the rest are trailing in our wake.. always will be the same.

It really is an area we need to sort as we're miles behind Blackburn and even Wigan and the pool of kids will be similar. Hoping it's something FV can sort over the next few years as it's way better having at least some local lads in the team and it's the only way to realistically make clubs at our level sustainable by having a good crop of kids continually coming through and selling some.

I think the only one that could argue is Burnley. That fanbase is pretty big - disguised by a ground capacity of only 21000. Would still obviously say we are a bit bigger than them.

May 29, 20242 yr Sounds a bit ridiculous taking the piss out of a championship team with a £20M striker.

How many points do we get for that? It's pointless when you're discounting teams to make a point We're in league one and Blackburn and Burnley are in the championship Bournemouth with half our support are in the prem You sound like a Sunderland fan trying to find reasons why they are bigger than Newcastle
May 29, 20242 yr Aren’t we greater Manchester? anyway us & Burnley are too close to split Edited May 29, 20242 yr by radcliffe white

The debate is who is the biggest Lancashire club discounting the big city sides who are plainly much bigger than the rest. These are the types of debates that can't ever reach a full objective conclusion but which are just good to yarn over, especially when there's no football about. Its the type of stuff that gets chatted over on a football forum. Get off your high horse and go and have some tea.

I'm sure you know the point I'm making and you've been banging the same drum whether there's football on or not I have no high horse and it's like attendance figures, it's pointless as it means nothing Its clutching at straws
May 29, 20242 yr We're one place below Blackburn in the all time league table and they've won the PL and league cup in my life time so fair to say they have the edge over us regardless of how many fans they're currently pulling in We're 7 places above Burnley and won more trophies and they've never made Europe so I'm more than comfortable saying we are bigger than them The rest of Lancashire and Greater Manchester don't even come close
