What are the odds on Dany Graham being subbed before the end of the game.

What are the odds on you being there to see it happen?

Is he the big fella you got from Carlisle? We're very good at defending crosses and corners so can you tell him not to bother going in the box. Cheers.

19 days without a game is a lot of time to get wound up! it will be a massive relief if we get the 3 points tonight. I'd be very surprised if it was straight forward. Bradford will have some good players.

Grayson on the game.

1/4/1990 was the last time we played The Bantams at Ewood according to that.

Kilgallon and Warnock back at Ewood tonight.

Bradford at home will always be special to me

as i put a half-time schoolboys penalty over the bar into the Blackburn End

How old were you? Did you have a Rovers shirt on? Great to get on the pitch though, nevermind the miss.

[blueboy3333]

Anyone popping in for a pre-match pint?

[Mattyblue]

Still struggling to workout why you'd go in a converted function room for £2, when you can go in Blues for a quid...

Yep, I am planning to, along with the missus and the rest of the clan who are all in tow tonight for the first time at Ewood in yonks.

COYB!!

15 - everybody took 2 each - keeper dived over second one 

We had a few penalty shootouts that year - i think we won the competition

Also lucky enough to play a full game on there as they used to host Primary School finals - we got smashed 5-0 by Feniscowles

Well, your better half will either be a lucky mascot or be banned for the rest of the season!

I'm wondering if there might be a decent crowd on for this one? Maybe more than the Wigan game.

[blueboy3333]

After checking my Jackman's (the Wainwrights of the Rovers football world) it appears we played on the 4th, 5th and 7th of April 1980 in the corresponding Easter fixtures the last time we were promoted from this league. We won all three 1-0.

Think on Charlie....

I'd hope there will be a decent gate but I know of 3 season ticket holders that won't be there as a result of the date change, so I doubt it.

If my better half finishes up being our lucky mascot tonight, I'm not sure I'd cope for the rest of the season but I hope it's a cross I have to bear!

Bradford are expected to fetch around 1500.

I can't see it being close to Wigan personally, there doesn't seem to be the same buzz this week as there was in the build up to that match, plus it's a night game.

Though, there may be a few like darrenrover who have family home for Easter.

Hi Guys I'm currently out of the country on my holidays!! Gutted will miss the game!! Is there a way to watch the game on a tablet from outside the UK that anyone is aware of please?

It was the Easter angle really. It's a bit like Boxing Day in that respect. 1500 is a poor turnout from them but apparently there's a train strike, added to the fact they haven't been doing that great.

 

[blueboy3333]

On the train strike thing, I've just looked at trains from Preston to Blackburn and they seem to stop at tea-time and only resume tomorrow morning. Is there a general 12 hour train strike or something?

Good Friday at 3pm may have beaten the Wigan crowd, as I can imagine plenty more Bradford fans making the trip, as well as more of ours getting down to Ewood.

24 hour walk out apparently by Northern Rail. Services up to 7pm and then not much (if anything)  after that until tomorrow morning. Bugger.

Blackburn Rovers FC win tonight, in Tony we should all be trust.

Trivia = Bradford FC is Germany owned - Edin Rahic

Probably depends where you are.  I'm in Mallorca and have just bought a day sports pass on now TV.  Works fine through phone/tablet
