I like reading your posts Ernest, but why oh why do you persist in writing “the team from the Fylde Coast” instead of Blackpool. I find it annoying and it just seems so childish to me, and your posts are above that.

I have no objection to writing 'Blackpool'. As Funky says merely a joke and I suppose given that Fleetwood are now a league club possibly ambiguous - is Fleetwood on the Fylde Coast? Perhaps I should copy Gary Peters and refer to them as 'Them lot with the Tower'. I suppose you are right such things are a bit regressive - but as I always like to observe the day I stop being as bothered about how we play as when I first started watching will be the day I stop being bothered at all.
 
Lincoln would be nice.

I'm told it is a nice city to visit, whilst it would also be another one off my 92 list and a club we ain't played in years
I remember when John Beck took charge of Lincoln not long after leaving us...... Circa 1996 ish

We went on a Mercer’s coach and it was a freezing cold day and the game finished 0-0 ....

It looked a nice City, so I wouldn’t mind a return trip.....
 
I would like Charlton just because its a good day out, not bothered who else (Except I would prefer not to be Sunderland).
Yeah, I think Sunderland have the potential to be a successful team again and if they got promoted I don’t think that they would go down...

Lincoln is a lovely City and well worth a weekend trip. The walk up to the Castel and Cathederal at the top end of The High street is a challenge though. The section up to the Castle is actually called Steep Hill..... and for good reason. Browns Pie shop at the top of Steep Hill is a resturaunt that sells every kind of pie and it's superb. Good pubs in Lincoln as well.

Dear me Ernest is mild, compared to the bloody commentary on Coventry i.follow last game, bloody sky blues this,sky blues that, sky blues the other, never ever using the correct term, coventry, coventry city, city !!!
Anything but the correct term!!
It got right on my tits that and i dont know why !! And now i have wound myself up again over it !!

But I should have added I appreciate your sentiments.
 
To be honest, I would not be unhappy in the slightest if the Lashers got promoted. I desperately want us to play them again.

On the other hand, I would also derive immense pleasure from seeing them fall to a 90th minute winner in the PO final.
Never understand the obsession with seeing them relegated.
It’s not many seasons ago we had Bolton, Wigan, Blackpool, all as derbies, Burnley as well which obviously makes for brilliant home and away games
Rather then play teams which are pretty much meaningless to us but maybe a distance away or near London. I just don’t get the obsession to be honest

Some really good pubs, especially at the top of the hill. Mind you, that's some hill.

One intense rivalry is that between Norwich and Ipswich. Some years back the half-time electronic scoreboard at Norwich famously flashed up a score from Portman Road beginning 'Scum 0'.

Keep it up ernest. I like your posting style. 🙂

Yep, and he took a certain hardworking young winger with him, who he then sold for a big profit to Port Vale, who then sold him for £2m.

Wonder whatever happened to that lad? 😊
 
Saw a retweet on Facebook from Stan Collymore saying that he had been told of the depressing tale of what’s going on inside Derby County and he thinks they go go the way of Bury.

The Sky Blues thing did my head, in even the Mrs. said why does he keep calling them that. Because he's a twat. Also strangely only referred to us as Preston North End and rarely as Preston. I had to turn the volume down in the end it was too much
 
Have they got a roof over the away end yet? Last time I went in October 2001(we won 1-0 with a Cartwright goal) it was open. Luckily a dry day.
Yes roof on now , I remember it well, as i was in the Fratton end as my mate is a massive pompey fan , when we scored i jumped up then had to remember where i was so had to sit on my hands but had a massive smile on my face. With my mate scowling at me

The season before we beat them 1 nil as well with Healy scoring .
