Heard a nasty rumour that the 'barometer' is giving due consideration to sectioning it's owner.

17.5k tickets sold which is apparently the highest ever for an SL opening game.

It is FCs and highest for 17 years, think the highest was Wigan v Wire when Wire started flaunting money and Wigan signed Barrett.

Think sales will dey up after both teams have had poor results on paper in pre season.

Ahead of the game and the new season Sky Sports are showing the 2016 Craven Park derby in full a couple of times.

It's on Sky Sports Arena on Monday morning at 9.45 and Tueday evening at 7.30.

A great comeback and a real turning point in what became a significant season for both clubs.

It would be great if the game could reach near the 80 thousand supporters for the first round fixtures
