[Archived] Preview of Burnley game. [H] 17th March.

[92er]

Radio Lancs say less than 16000 are expected today.

[Batman.]

The club is dead.

[philipl]

Venkys have even killed this derby.

Best we can hope for is 0-0.

I fear for us enormously if the dingles open the scoring.

[Waggy76]

If Steve Kean isn't relevant to where Rovers are today, I don't know what is.

Very True ...

[Tom]

cant believe this hasn't been picked up by sky

I can

It's a huge game to us but most causal football fans wouldn't watch it or even know its a derby game and would much rather watch a mid table premier league game

[T4E]

They'll score in the first ten minutes.

One poor championship team playing one very poor championship team , who outside East Lancashire is interested ?

[Tom]

On paper their team isn't that bad compared to some we've failed to beat

Austin and the Croatian sounding bloke from Fulham worry me

[Blue blood]

Beginning to regret getting the semis and final off instead of today (figured we should beat Millwall, and there'll be more derbies but possibly a lot fewer chances to see Rovers at wembley.)

However will be able to listen to it. Burnley apparently only won 1 of last 9 lg games - their form is just as bad as ours. We can and should win this.

COME ON ROVERS

[booth]

Due to work I couldn't see this game but as I've now got an unexpected day free I could have gone down. Because you couldn't get tickets this morning I'm stuck with listening to it on the radio.

Which idiots decision was it to not allow tickets to be sold on the day? It's simple, just get people to bring ID to show they are a Blackburn resident or something - or an old ticket, Rovers shirt... Ffs.

Over the top security and there's only going to be 16,000 there. Stupid.

Which is perhaps why Radio 5 Live Sports Extra are taking the Radio Lancs coverage. The world now knows of all the traffic difficulties in Blackburn!

[Paul]

This may be my last match until the Raos leave. For the fourth time this year my lad has said he doesn't want to come to the game. The other three were really cold night games and I hoped this was the reason. I don't believe it is.

Tom doesn't understand all that has happened. He does feel the atmosphere and see the terrible football.

Not only have the Raos taken away my club they may now have taken the thing Tom and I have shared together for 19 years. He loved Rovers, I think it's died for him.

I'm utterly gutted. I can never forgive this. Win, lose, draw today - it's irrelevant. Destroying the enjoyment father and son, a disabled young man, shared is utterly dispicable.

I really don't know what to do. I'm sat in the car park and I don't want to go in.

I may well be finished till they go.

[Tom]

Walking down and just can't stop thinking that so many times in the last two years we joked how it couldn't get much worse. Each time it did.

Hope today doesn't prove that under these owners it can always get and probably will get worse.

Prove me wrong Rovers, show us why we still bother

Absolutely gutted to hear this

You should send this to Venkeys, the club, LET. Let people know the actual effect Venkeys are having on our club.

. Paul, chin up. You are one of those lovely decent blokes. You are bigger than theRao's.

[Blue blood]

Dunn on 5 live extra sounds like he's off at the end of the season. (Assuming it's pre-taped!)

That's what it's all about isn't it?

Despicable people.

AND IT WAS ALL SO UNNECESSARY!

By the way, I'm shocked (but i shouldn't be ...) that there's only 16k at the game.

[Ricky]

I've met Paul and Tom on several occasions so this really upsets me. It just puts everything that's happened into perspective.

That's pretty powerful, and almost the way we all feel in a nutshell. I've had two sons born since the beginning of 2012, all my life I've looked forward to being a father, and I must admit I wanted boys, so I could take them to Rovers. Now they're here I don't feel that way at all any more.

My suggestion would be to find something else you and Tom enjoying doing together that can replace Rovers. Your family is way more important than this nonsense.

[RibbleValleyRover]

Burnley have their best chance in years to get that win over Rovers. On the low attendance it just goes to show how much damage has been done to the club and to the fan base if a lot of people are avoiding this game, when you saw the fixture list you would assume fans would flock back for that one game. It's going to take years to heal those fractures.

Which one is called Lorenzo?

[Stuart]

Well done BBE. Not too Shabby.

[T4E]

Which one is called Lorenzo?

The first one. The second one is called Graeme.

BOOM.

cant believe this hasn't been picked up by sky

Brighton v Palace hasn't been picked up and there are several premiership games on today.

This isn't a big game outside Lancashire.
