because honestly , last game I was sick of the venky lovers giving it large and if that's the way its gone its not for me .

Forgetting the boring sarcasm for a minute (which is indicative of people not caring IMO) Ewood would be a worse place without your passion.

I've been blagged to death by capitals, Venky hate threads etc- but this club and board still needs abbeyesque passion.

Ignore those around you and just try to enjoy the football. If we are shocking, have a good vent on the BBE and here after - you paid your money and watched so your opinion will always be more valid.

This site needs more people in the ground giving their opinions and less people who can't be assed but enjoy a good moan.

I have nothing else better to do so I will be in attendance. Not particularly looking forward to it as I've seldom enjoyed matches down at Ewood this season due to the quality of football (or lack thereof) and inconsistent results. I'd at least like to see us have a go at Forest, get the ball down and play some decent football. Would be nice to see a couple of the young ones thrown in there at some point also. Ideally a starting line-up that doesn't involve Evans would be delightful. One (other) thing that has baffled me this season is how he has kept his place despite being a complete passenger for the majority. I'm not sure how some can give Lowe so much stick yet give Evans a free pass. He's been hopeless for a while now.

I've been on Ewood for league games when there was barely 3 thousand on. I've been at games when we were in the 3rd division relegation zone.

My mate was a Rovers apprentice in the early 80s. The club was regularly getting red letters re the leccy. Quite often training for the apprentices consisted of head tennis on Little Wembley because Pleasy had been churned into a mud bath by the Sunday league.

Who's your mate?

I'd rather not name him but he was in the same intake as Jimmy Willis (went on to play for Leicester) and a year or so in front of the likes of Diamond, Patterson, Hill and Barker. He was ultimately released by the club but then came back to play part time in the reserves with Peter Devine! Great times for the club.

( my pal also nutmegged Gordon McQueen in a Central League game)

I just thought he might be known to some of the members in here who might have been in and around the club at the time....just asking that's all mate...not trying to out anyone or anything...

Ok, fair enough. Jim Furnell was the Youth team coach at the time and my mate wasn't a fan. He was a big fan of Bob Saxton though and said the that the players had loads of respect for him.

I think that my mate was signed for Rovers by a scout named Fred O'Donoghue? There's a Rovers photo in the pool room of an Ossy pub. Now that I come to think about it my mate is on the front row with the apprentices in the yellow away kit. With him are Tony Diamond, Jimmy Willis and lads who I think were Tony Driver and Seldon Sims. Patterson and Barker are on the photo in the first team line up. Circa 83/84 I think.

Rovers to win today.

Bowyer always seems to scrape a result when some measure of respectability is needed - lose today, and we could be as low as 12th dependent upon other results.

In my experience of Jim, he was a top top bloke and I spent time with him as a 15/16 year old playing for the a and b teams. A real nice fella.

My mate was a winger and I don't think he much appreciated being coached by an ex keeper.

Jim furnell's son is a regular poster on here. But seeing we are in secret mode I won't name him!

A 5-4 thriller is on the cards today, not seen since Lenny johnrose hit the winner against west ham in 1989

Oh bloody hell, is he? I don't think it was anything personal, I don't imagine that most wingers took kindly to advice from keepers!
