Re: Expectations Tomorrow

I expect we leave with nothing, through a combination of the strength of the opposition, the arrogance and incompetence of Rob Jones and if that fails they always have VAR to fabricate either a disallowed goal for the Clarets or a penalty for City.

Re: Rovers v Ipswich... What Should Happen?

I believe they are looking to rename their stands to bring some synergy to the others. Whilst the dilapidated wreck we see to the right of the away end when we visit for our now obligatory Clarets victory will still retain the Riverside title, the other 3 stands will now be known as Lakeside :lol:
