They stop selling them at 6 today. https://www.oldhamathletic.co.uk/news/2017/october/13102017-fans-have-until-5pm-to-buy-blackburn-tickets/ 5pm according to their official site. Unless it's changed. They should probably have given Rovers an extra 500 to sell.

Only 100 left 24 hours ago so they could well be gone. It's all ticket so not sure how easy it will be to get in the home ends. can you not call them and pick it up at Oldham?

I can easily have 4 on a Leo Sayer) We'll have to start a club for jilted Rovers singletons. You never know, we might even get on We'll get on fine ....... as long as the conversation steers away from Venkys/Agents/Shadows/Coowners/Soccerinvestmentfunds/Falsedebt oh and the big one .... Gary Bowyer We can talk about the weather I suppose !

I have no idea how easy it would be to get tickets for the home ends. I think you just have to purchase your tickets by 5pm over the phone, I'm sure you could pick them up tomorrow at the ground. Just hide your Rovers scarf and talk in a cod-Manc accent

His point about Lenihan was more to do with the fact that we have to sit deeper than Mowbray wants when Lenny doesn't play because Ward and Mulgrew couldn't catch a cold once the ball has gone beyond them (as the Donny game showed). A fit again Lenihan won't alter the fact that Caddis and especially Williams will always struggle against a decent. pacey winger if they don't have Bennett and Conway doubling up with them. Downing has been good. Not sure how quick he is though. You're spot on really, I just think it's worthwhile to mention the difference Darraghs injury will have made to plans - he alluded to wanting another pacey CB, perhaps he sees Lenihan and someone else our long term centreback pairings, which would suit me since Charlie is getting on a bit!

Don't understand it really Wigan and Bury are both pencilled in but moneys a bit tight. I may just have to suffer at Ewood every other week instead You and @Gav could've tagged along with me and a few lads...!

I may take you up on that offer one day It's all very civilised on here today. Must be some reverse Friday 13th thing. Have a good day out and I'll look forward to a match report...if you remember any of it
rossyrover Posted October 13, 2017 Posted October 13, 2017 We have to respect every team we play but if we are to gain automatic promotion from this league we must be beating teams like Oldham Athletic.
blueboy3333 Posted October 13, 2017 Posted October 13, 2017 This is where you'll all housed tomorrow - The Zen Office Stand. Looks a nice ground.

USABlue Posted October 13, 2017 Posted October 13, 2017 Mowbary is really starting to irritate me eith his bigging up the opposition every week. I mean due respect for all opponents but jeez oh Pete, give it a rest.

I think the injury to Lenihan pretty much sounded the death knell for his three centre half plans. This week he talked up Lenihans mobility and pace which is one of the most important components of such a system. Reading that he wanted another speedy centre back confirms that to me that he wanted (and probably will do again) to play this system all season until the injury to Lenihan put paid to it.

DanielMB Posted October 13, 2017 Posted October 13, 2017 3 points tomorrow is a must. We need to move towards that top 2 position. Oh the cruel irony that players like Varney and Akpan are playing a league above us
Sparks Rover Posted October 13, 2017 Posted October 13, 2017 All the lads and lasses, smiles upon their faces.........

blueboy3333 Posted October 13, 2017 Posted October 13, 2017 Anyone else going in the home ends? I'm sorely tempted to go in the main George Hill Stand (not the new one) next to the away end (Lower/CRE on the seating plan). https://www.eticketing.co.uk/oafc/details/event.aspx?itemref=1640

That’s the Chaddy End. Used to be the home end. Should be great acoustics, like a smaller version of our former Darwen End.

Precisely, I think he probably feels it's easier to control a game at this level with that kind of width, however I do feel we'd need better wing backs, rather than the limited set we currently employ. As BB said, we have a set of wide men who will protect those two if they start, but perhaps they'd both suit being used in a 352, allowing us to play the same two sitting midfielders, with Dack in the hole between two central strikers as opposed to one.
