Going into Westhoughton, Adlington, Aspull ... maybe 3 miles away, even Blackrod was to go into a totally different set of dialogues. To go to Wigan, Chorley or Bolton meant no lack of understanding but genuinely new ways of speaking. Going to school in Astley Bridge where pupils came from Bury, Ramsbottom, Radcliffe, Farnworth and alll those areas of Bolton was a whole new set of variations. I still couldn't say where Darcy Lever, Rumworth, Tonge Fold, Harper Green etc. are. Due to cars, commuting, more moving about, TV, radio etc. these fine distinctions are far fewer now. Darcy Lever- Last bastion of Breightmet before Little Lever. Rumworth-Top end of Daubhill/Deane taking in Morris Green. Tonge Fold- Basically Bury Road until it reaches Breightmet. Harper Green- Flower estate, Farnworth.

A bizarre decision to sack Richardson and appoint a manager with no experience. I bet their owners wish they could turn back the clock. Tick tock.

December 30, 20223 yr McLean doing a knee slide in front of the Mackems when they got back to 1-1! What a prize bellend
December 30, 20223 yr I wonder how long they’ll continue with Toure? Another pay off coming methinks…. Richardson to return. 🤣

December 30, 20223 yr Non of them are on Toure’s back yet all the players seem to get getting it along with the owner who’s been MIA since August. They’re hoping / expecting a big transfer window. It’s all going very sour that fella made a mistake in thinking when they went up they’d sell a ton more season tickets. Think he’s quickly realised he’s bought the worst club for trying to scale up

December 30, 20223 yr Thing with them buffoons, over the last decade or so on the slide, they always had a decent back up - still decent players, manager, youth set up, assets etc. All that has gone now. Ageing squad a manager with no league experience and an owner who knows he's dropped a bollock. I'd rather this was happening at Ewood but I'll take it
December 30, 20223 yr That championship table makes for fantastic viewing, just need a few more above Blackburn and I’ll sleep easy.
