AllRoverAsia Posted August 5, 2023 Posted August 5, 2023 (edited) I more or less took a sabbatical over the transfer window, posting little but reading threads on here a lot, but now it's match day. Clean slate for all our remaining players and I hope their pride wants success as much as their personal development. I am sure it will and am absolutely sure that JDT wants success on his terms. For our younger players getting into the team or matchday squad is a sure sign of personal development whatever our recruitment is doing under the prevailing difficult and imho strange circumstances. It's going to be interesting season and a winning start would help calm us all. Edited August 5, 2023 by AllRoverAsia 6 Quote

roverandout Posted August 5, 2023 Posted August 5, 2023 Hope rovers win just to put all the depressing off field stuff out of our minds. I trust jdt to do a good job 1 Quote
Norbert Rassragr Posted August 5, 2023 Posted August 5, 2023 I hope the weather is not as horrendous in Lancashire as it is in the West Midlands. There's standing water on the roads, and at least a faint drizzle all day. Not conducive for super sexy football. Quote
SIMON GARNERS 194 Posted August 5, 2023 Posted August 5, 2023 Surprised with the ticket sales,looking indeed like a 16/17000 crowd..good turnout👍 3 Quote
moerpho Posted August 5, 2023 Posted August 5, 2023 Even after weeks of chaos I still get a buzz for opening day of the season. Hoping for a good performance, 3 points and Leonard to score. COYB!! 5 Quote

davulsukur Posted August 5, 2023 Posted August 5, 2023 Travis is in the squad today, so can't be anything imminent to Southampton. Quote

SIMON GARNERS 194 Posted August 5, 2023 Posted August 5, 2023 (edited) Give Tomasson a good reception...looks like the only one holding everything together. We want him HERE! Edited August 5, 2023 by SIMON GARNERS 194 9 Quote
WacoRover Posted August 5, 2023 Posted August 5, 2023 Let’s see… where would I rather be? It will be 104 degrees (f) in Waco; 59 in Blackburn. But, I’m making the best of it, at least I get the game on TV. COYB!!! 6 Quote

Yes, and telling it like it is. I've warmed a hell of a lot to him since he arrived when my scepticism thrived. 1 Quote
Colt Seavers Posted August 5, 2023 Posted August 5, 2023 Really hoping Buckley can recapture his best form this season. I feel it could be make or break for him. We need him to come good for us. 2 Quote
SIMON GARNERS 194 Posted August 5, 2023 Posted August 5, 2023 (edited) He's laid his Card's on the table for me AllRoverAsia..he want's success for this Club and himself. Deserves to be backed to the hilt on and off the field of play. Edited August 5, 2023 by SIMON GARNERS 194 4 Quote

Believe its raining down the road in Burnley but hopefully it will stay dry for our first win. Lightly raining now. Gone into the stadium and hoping this isn't a sign of things to come. Prices on the Riverside concessions haven't been updated and they're charging more on the til. Not fussed about the additional 30p on a coke (although it's 10% on the listed price) and not the fault of the staff working the stalls. But one of them was a moron, saying I needed to tell management - I had to slowly explain it was in their interest to get the matter sorted before queues for dozens/a hundred are kicking off about being charged incorrectly.
