Re: DERECK GILL R.I.P
Some people leave their thumbprint on the world and are not forgotten when they depart. Derek Gill is such a person, part of the history of the club forever so that his name will not be forgotten. Part of the Bond season, plus the ones preceding that and then following it. He was the one who made se...

Annoying at first and then I think petrol from Leeds and a programme is £15, so paying the extra breaks even so will no doubt stump up. For anyone travelling longer distances it’s a reasonable price to watch games.

Re: Mail article about Dyche with Brendan Flood
Going off on a bit of a tangent I suppose but if the squad remains as it is and the lid is kept tight on the jar on the mantelpiece, and Dyche keeps us up, he can say what Stan T said in his final season...that not being relegated with what he had at his disposal was his greatest achievement.
