Re: Stanley v Burnley - Commentary on 2BR
What Slater Scott was in no way arrogant.I doubt his non quoted dream will blow up in his face, indeed I wonder what his dream this actually is, as he does not mention one in his post. Blackburn a second Div club really, that's also a meaningless statement now as 2nd div club is open to much interpretation. Stanley to play Rovers an Burnley in the league before you die, well as long as you are Dr Who, maybe.
And as for Blackburns following, well wait and see . Wait and see.
Bitter-yes you are.

Re: Stanley v Burnley - Commentary on 2BR
What dream!!? 2nd division club? What the hell does that mean these days? Stanley to play Burnley and Rovers in the league in next 40 years? Ha! OK!
And as for the Rovers following, wait and see, just wait and see.
Like the murphys, you're not bitter!

In no way arrogant? What planet are you from? He reckons Blackburn will bring more than the whole of the Stanley v Burnley attendance. As for the dream, Blackburn are living it, playing the biggest Clubs in England and a few from around Europe next season, but it won't last. As for never playing Blackburn or Burnley in the League in my lifetime, perhaps people like you told people like Jack Barret that he'd never see Stanley play in the League again. And as for Blackburns following? Well, I don't doubt that they'll bring a few, but if this had been one of Blackburns leaner seasons, you'd have brought hardly anybody. You're so damned fickle. We will play Blackburn and Burnley in the League though. To Dream the Impossible Dream :engsmil:

Re: Stanley v Burnley - Commentary on 2BR
Oh, and for the record, you're posts came across as arrogant as well. Blackburn fans, eh? Just can't help yourselves.
Just keep looking down your nose, 'cos we'll get the last laugh. Might take a years, but we'll get the last laugh.

It's called winning matches. The more you win, the higher in the league you get. Eventually you qualify for UEFA games. Well, in Rovers case, two games a season, home and away!
And I agree, dream the impossible dream. We did, and look at as now!!!

Re: Stanley v Burnley - Commentary on 2BR
Don't get me wrong - can't stand Rovers/their fans...the boring sods that be.
But we can't really use Jack Walker's injection of money as an insult.
Albeit; his money only fuelled one season of success ...& Kevin Davies
Eric's money has fuelled over 10 years & counting of ongoing success

Re: Stanley v Burnley - Commentary on 2BR
You do know Jack Walker died 6 years ago? And with it any significant instant cash injections for players?

I don't think you can even compare the two, Jack Walker broke transfer records left, right and centre. He paid top dollar for players, and probably had a ridiculous wage bill to boot. Eric, on the other hand, is just a very astute buisness man. Look at the deal we have with Fraser Eagle, as well as a huge cash injection to have their name emblazoned on our tops, they also provide transport free of charge. I don't know too much about Coaches, but I make that out to be a very good deal. And considering we still don't have a roof, Erics not exactly splashing the cash, is he?

So Walker didn't leave a lump sum of cash to Blackburn when he died? Could've swore I heard different...
Diesel I didn't intend to compare Whalley to Walker - I was saying that we can't use Walker's vast cash injection as an insult to Rovers when Eric's money ( aswell as good business) has played an integral part in our resurrection.
Anyway, why argue; Rovers are going nowhere...the intertoto cup will be their only annual holidays for decades to come
Honestly; I don't know how you blues don't suffer chronic boredom from it all!

Re: Stanley v Burnley - Commentary on 2BR
Bloody hell Diesel whats the problem?
Who's looking down at,taking the mickey out of Stanley?......Rovers fans are glad to see you back in the league and many will go and support you when Rovers are away down south.
Whats with having a pop at our support and Walkers money?
Strange.
''we will bring more than what the attendence was today''
In all honesty he may well be right but that is in no way meant to be arrogant...it will only benefit the coffers of Stanley.It will be a good evening and we should all be looking forward to it.

Re: Stanley v Burnley - Commentary on 2BR
Eric has helped the club to become self-sustainable. He is by no means dipping into his own pocket all the time, as some of you suggest. He puts as much enthusiasm and passion into the club as he does money. And it's a sorry state of affairs if any club has to be dependant on a rich backer to keep going.
