Tbf some are obsessed with them on here, I barely give them a second thought unless they are playing or close to us in the table, I have zero interest in their players' or finances.

Probably on my own with that but whilst I'll generally refer to them as B*stards as all my mates do, they never really get a mention in the pub or WhatsApp groups, perhaps it's a generational thing.

We all know they are completely deluded

I've heard all this 'best run club' crap before, they really weren't, its just more of the nonsense they keep regurgitating amongst themselves like some sort of comfort blanket.

They were massively in debt before and after walkers death and the Trust wrote a huge chunk of it off to make them a more attractive proposition when up for sale.

The fact is, and it's not rocket science their outgoings were a lot more than incomings for years. The venkys stupidly inherited the shi-te show and the huge debts continued. The pampered ones simply won't except they're back where they were.

The bturds, always spending huge amounts of other people's money.

As for the dingle thing, preston nicknamed us that years before they did. They simply joined in later on.

5 in a row at Ewood. Fkn love it.

Not sure that if i was trying to show how well my club was run pre-Walker that i would pick Burnley as my comparison for the same era. That would be like me defending Pace's ownership by comparing our league position to that of Oldham Athletic.

The Brighton/Brentford comment is weird. Yeah, I'm sure the best in overseas talent are really bothered that they won the league before they'd even been born.

Its that Full Members Cup that attracts the overseas talent ...
As everyone on here knows the dilapidated stands at Bollewood have a high proportion of Full (but limp) Members sitting/standing in them.

Weird how the Lonsdale clad town weirdos always seem to know we got crowds around the 2000 mark while near bottom of the 4th division.

What they don't realise because they had no interest in football until the tax dodger started pumping money into them is that football was on its arse and they were getting crowds of 5000 while in the top half 2 divisions higher.

I didn't even know they had won the full members cup, I just googled it and they beat Charlton in front of 40,000 majority no doubt from Charlton. This was half the 80,000 we managed to attract 1 year later between 2 lower division sides.

As I have said before, it was the preston fans that came up with the dingles nickname but the one they have for that lot in my view is far better than ours.....The plastics!

100% this. I have been ill recently and brfcs has been a source of great comfort to me. The average poster on there is nothing short of an absolute whopper. Board full of clowns, more so than on here.

The poster must genuinely believe that there is a significant inbreeding programme in the far East of Lancashire. Idiot.

They have nothing to fall back on apart from resorting to childish abuse, and they cling on to a title from 30 years ago which is now as relevant as our title win from 60 years ago.

Pathetic fan base that have a huge chip on their shoulder, despite being a laughing stock for 15 years.

Treat them with the contempt they deserve. They are about as relevant to us Accy Stanley.

Just scoured the OP and he/ she do appear a little angry at something. Is he/ she alright do you think or just had a bad day wandering around? Probably needs help but doesn't know what to do.

All this " you dads your mum your mums your dad" nonsense is the last thing they have to cling on to,

Years since they last beat us.
Beaten 5 times on the run at Ewok Park
Wharton couldn't wait to leave and sold for half his value.
They keep on winning the avoid promotion battle from Christmas onwards.
They change managers like I change my boxers
Yearly bail out from the Venkys now in danger of not happening.
Attendances dropping.
A squad with a resale value of next to nothing.

Really a sad bunch of tossers.

I don't think you need to worry too hard pal. Their season is over. As I have said before all they have left is to say (when they get smashed off the Blades at the end of the season - which they will no matter how important a win is for them) "we let Sheffield win to stop you going up auto!!!"

It is clear as day that is what they want. Hopefully it's in our own hands still then, and we just need a point off Millwall at the Turf.
