New Camera Position In Riverside

[tomphil]

What a complete waste of money but I supposed this will be passed off as generous owner investment ! Cut vital costs with one hand then window dress and waste money with the other.

Anyone have any news about the other changes that were supposedly going to be made at Ewood this summer? I heard there was a new jumbotron going between the Darwen End/Jack Walker stands and digital advertising boards around the pitch, but there's no sign of these from the photos taken recently.

The big screen rumour was complete rubbish!

No idea about adverts... was glad when they got rid of those.

I hear Tony Hart and Morph are knocking it together. Blue Peter missed out because Biddy Baxter would do a bung.

Looks more like a scaffolding to help fix the leaky roof judging by the locations, rather than any attempt at a new camera position.

Like more like Degsey shelving to me.

Yep just seems to be scaffolding although maybe they are running the cables in the roof or something or building a walkway for the new gantry.

More likely just changing light bulbs !

Loosening the roofing in the hope it'll blow away this winter. Riverside closed down due to storm damage.

Blimey, the way some go on, would think a total screen in front of the pitch would suit you more.....

Now there's an idea. With a mural of a 2007/08 match on it.

That lad who did the painting of King scoring should be hired to paint a crowd in the Riverside................actually all around Ewood methinks.

If your reading Cheston, if you do this I'll buy a ST.

So will everyone be getting a seat transfer to the Riverside for televised matches?

No. Will they hell. If you've bought a season ticket in the Jack Walker stand you should be shamed into sitting there live on TV supporting the Venkys reign of Blackburn Rovers Football Club.

I do love a keyboard critic. See you in the JW when we get a 'big team' in the cup.

[Ben-2000]

What like West Ham last season when the home support matched that of a league game?

And in the WUM .. Pathetic comment .

[mustard]

Wasn't too sure exactly where to put this. But has anyone been down to Ewood lately? Have you noticed how filthy it is? Have a little look if you drive past. Rust on the gates/fencing. The stands are filthy on the outside with clear brown streaks below the wording for the JW stand. It is terrible, and truly a sign of the times under Venky's. Needs a good clean and painting, but our billionaire owners will have trouble covering the costs no doubt, until Marshall and Duffy are sold anyways.
