Whitto back 'on the grass'.

 

He needs to wean himself back off it.

 

He's so chilled he's practically horizontal!

Fortunately, Caddis has took the 'munchies' hit for him.

Just checked my route map for the trip to Northampton , unlike my trip to Peterborough its giving me 3 different routes, I did intend to go across country via M62 east then head south as I did for Peterborough , I was just wondering if anyone on here does a bit of traveling and could recommend the easiest route , as mileage wise they are all pretty equal ...Thanks

My starting point is OL12 8JB ...

From where you live I would say the easiest is up the M62 and down the M1. Weather should be mild so no snow problems on high ground.

Bloody hell,  John " The Tank " Bray was slimmer than that.

Don't know about anyone else, but I'm really looking forward to the game tomorrow.

Train at 9am, meeting a few off here for pre-match ale n burgers!

Safe journey to all the fans travelling down, another tremendous following especially with the time of year, let's hope the players do us proud.

Got to win tomorrow to keep the pressure on Wigan and Shrewsbury come on Rovers.

Anyone know whether or not you can get a beer inside the ground unlike at Peterborough?

Away fans often drink in TGI Fridays opposite the ground. The Walter Tull & Sixfields Tavern up the hill  are always rammed. The bowling place is quieter and people do drink there. Real Ale fans should head to the Malt Shovel in town or the Albion Brewery - the local Phipps brewery. Both near Carlsberg brewery ironically. Theyre about a ten minute car ride away (maybe 20 minutes with rugby and shopping traffic to contend with). The Sevens opposite Franklins Gardens is ok but Saints at home it caters for rugby fans so likely to be rammed also. I'm sure there will be bars/food behind the away stand that you can access once inside the ground so you can drink there. The Official South gravel car park is £4 just behind the away stand or there is a grass car park just behind that for £3 which is easier to get out of. Don't get to the ground too late or you'll be stuck queuing behind the rugby boys 4x4's.

Apart from their roller coaster '60s and accompanying us down in 1965/6, this is my recollection of Northampton Town... The TV camera position was on temporary scaffolding erected just off the cricket square.

If Rovers start high tempo, we should be OK for notching another win.

[Doug]

C'mon Rovers, let's keep the run going.

A win should hopefully see more of us on Ewood on Boxing Day.

Merry Christmas to Rovers fans everywhere.

First impressions of the ground - Its not finished.

But the good news is if you're quick and nip down, you can watch from the hill at the side, a smaller version of our hill

Why the early kick-off?

Is it to cut one hour of Xmas drinking time?

About the strongest we've got at the moment. No Samuel (ill) or Evans (ankle)  in the squad and not much inspiration on the bench. An early goal and then smash them on the break.

1-2. COYB.

[Giant]

Samuel probably I’ll from driving Bradley Dack around doing the carpool karaoke!

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

Disappointed Tomlinson isn't starting. Other than that with Bennett still being suspended it more it less picks itself.

I'm sorry but I see us only getting a draw today.

[roversfan99]

That bench is horrendous. Lets hope we dont need it.

[blueboy3333]

N'ton have got some pretty decent players who could cause us problems. I didn't know Lewis McGugan was there and Dingle Long is a good striker at this level. Grimes can play a bit too. Will be a tougher game than their league position suggests.

[Darwen Rover 007]

is the game on local radio guys?

We might need Nuttall but there's nothing else to inspire if we're behind.
