With the saying of after the Lord mayor’s show, I doubt if there one for events leading up to it but this would be it.

I’ve no doubt this will be a reserves game for both sides but after the previous fellas attitude to cup games I’d really love a proper cup run (just terrible timing).

Also my mate reckons pints at the London stadium are £7.60. So most supping will defo be done pre match. 

The calm before the storm ?

Anyone know what it's being shown on?

Huge respect from me for anyone going down, to be taking 2,000+ fans is a great effort

Don't underestimate our southern fan base, Joe.  Tenner a pop aswell.

Not one broadcast channel in the world?

There's an option to watch live in the match centre on the Rovers site but I was under the impression it wasn't available for this cup. The last tie at Bradford did have audio commentary though.

This is usually accurate and it doesn’t look like any international channels will be showing the game https://m.livesoccertv.com/match/4447548/west-ham-united-vs-blackburn-rovers/. Doubt there will be any streams if this is the case.

Calling any Essex based rovers fans

Hornchurch. Essex

I think the last time we played WHU in a Cup match, it was a 1-5 type of pasting.

When I first began following Rovers in 2013, I saw FA Cup match vs ManCity on FS1 (Scott Dann goal in 1-1 at Ewood). FS1 don’t do that anymore.

For this game, I’m looking forward to lots of Rovers youth, and how well they perform. I will be following comments here, and maybe a YouTube watchalong (if any). 

Prediction, 2-4.

Whilst Rovers are always well supported in the south east we don’t normally get those sort of numbers on regular league games even on a Saturday afternoon. I think there are plenty going because it’s a new ground as well.

[Atko's Engine]

VAR will be in operation for this one won't it?

Another way for us to be shafted I guess!!

[neophox]

To be fair I just want us to do our best. If we lose I wont be too upset.... but I want us to do our best and a chance for some fringe players to show their worth...

[USABlue]

I know the past two cup rounds were against lower league but I enjoyed the way we played.  Looked like our second string were better at JDT's game than the 1st eleven.  Let's go win and set the tone for thumping all things clarrot and blue.

I don’t think there is any coverage tonight. Sky sports news usually show the goals as they go in. 

In the world of steaming it’s hard to believe every game isnt available for a few quid online.

I can't imagine he will. If it were in a few more months maybe.

[riverholmes]

Have a feeling that this will be a thrashing by West Ham. Might be some light relief from the strain of the Prem. Will have to see.
