New Camera Position In Riverside

[tomphil]

Stainless steel or one of those tartan jobs?

Will it keep your beverage hot for 80 mins?

80 mins ? I presume you mean that's for the post match brew in the car sat in traffic, this is the riverside we're on about

Superb!!!

The Riverside must be the most populated Stand for the last 5 years.

Surely some 20% of the upper seats will find their view blocked when looking towards the goals in each half?

Could be a riot on Saturday...flat caps and flasks.

I've literally bought a new flask for my bovril for the coming season, quite liking forward to using it too. I'm in my 20's! Maybe it's a Riverside thing?

Flasks - this deserves a thread of its own.

One bloke I know has his hip flask filled at a pub before the game - big spender!

I've never been able to keep a tartan flask from breaking up on a building site. The stainless ones are crap at actually keeping your brew hot but at least they last.

What's everyone's favourite rug in the Riverside?

Don't think I've seen anybody with a rug or a blanket over their knees at Ewood for years except possibly for wheelchair users.

I hope that lady still goes who sits at the front about half way line. She gives the liner grief.She's more fight in her than most Rovers fans.

I remember around the Ardiles days when my Grandad and his mate took a bit of carpet to sit on into the Nuttal St stand. We had one beaujois (at the time I regarded it as posh though the sink was used as a urinal) season as ST holders in there

80 minutes?

I bet he cannot manage 5 minutes ;-)

Bloody hell. I used to fill mine at ALDI before I became a proud boycotter.

Just driven past Ewood the scaffolding still appears to be in place

[Tom]

The scaffolding is down the club tweeted a picture

Whats that blue stuff in front of the Riverside? Looks like they've done away with the walkway from that angle.

Comical isn't it..about THE only thing the Venkys clowns have got right in their Six year reign of terror!

[Neal]

Think the blue stuff is blank advertising boards... Looks like some sort of optical illusion!

[Rover_Shaun]

Well aren't I a plank? I thought it would be some scaffold carbunkle. Looks good. Not sure how those at the very back will think of it as it will probably be just above their view of the far touchline.

All this to capture an empty stand!

At a guess they've moved every single sponsor signage to the other three sides of the ground. This is definitely part of a PR stunt to make the ground look fuller and more modern and the club look attractive on TV. But why? There is hardly any UK coverage so it can only be for the Venkys (and guests') viewing pleasure via Roversplayer in the TV room.

Either they are, or intend to be, in talks with potential buyers at Rao Towers in Pune, or it's a vanity thing. I could well believe the latter whilst hoping to high hell for the former.

Makes you wonder why Cheston was so eager to get fans to move to the opposite stand free of charge doesn't it? Obviously wants everyone in the Jack Walker.

[Mike Graham]

I just heard from someone ITK that Rovers forgot to order a ladder for the new TV gantry and Cheston is having to drive to Wickes to see if they can rope a couple together.

I think the Mods should run a poll on that Stuart.

Are those in "charge" (sic) of Blackburn Rovers stupid: YES/NO

the real stroke of genius is moving both the goals to the left touchline, that will fool visiting teams

One the ground - YES

Those in India - YES but also vindictive and malicious.

I heard they phoned Shelfy and he'll tack something together
