However, the notice period isn’t so great at this point of the season . They haven’t chosen March games yet.

So say a Norwich fan coming to Ewood on the 1st (only 7 and a half week away now), it could well be moved, so their fans either take a chance with their train or they wait and see prices creep up and up.

Notice period reverts back to 4 weeks for any games from March 1st onwards, reason being that Sky can't pick the games now as they could end up with a load of dead rubbers.

They will obviously want to show the teams challenging.

What happened to the big flag the club sent a poll out about? It was supposed to come out before the game.

Yet another let down from the club on what was a good idea and who knows could have provided the extra inspiration for the players to really go after Bumley on the day. Apart from Callum Brittain I don’t think any of our lads showed the energy or passion required to win this game. 

I heard it was due to Venky’s not signing off on it but if anyone knows for certain I would be interested to know?

Another failure for Steve and his bunch of merry men in any case!

Of course. So not thoughtful Sky thinking of the fans after all when it actually matters...

Didn't even see a poll 😕  or was it not for public?

I just got an email from the club asking for suggestions for what to have on it for the Burnley game.

I suggested “Pride of Lancashire” with blue & white halves, a red rose and 18 75 in each half. Would be class if they did it! Maybe for the PNE game?

I've got lots of ideas especially for derby games and general matchday presentation.

Thought the Burnley game was good but could of been so much better

Fuck Off Venkys would be a much better flag.

Maybe that's there preference, and nobody has the right to question them on it.

Folk can spend there money how they please, going to Ewood isn't value for money the majority of time.

And il express my opinion towards these stay away fans then.

We all know many here are purposely staying away, even though they do have the money to come, so I did expect this comment to strike a few nerves, which I'm glad I have.

[Mattyblue]

That’s fanbases. Some are committed to going to games every week more than others are. Crowds will be bigger for one off bigger games, or every week if you make season tickets significantly cheaper or if you get success (I.e you end up in the PL).

The way it is, the way it’s always been. No point getting irate about it.

Lets focus on the positives yeah?

New Flexi-Ticket what we all thinking of that? 7 of any of the 10 remaining home games for £139 so less than £20 a game & a guaranteed seat at the home of football 🌹

The risk of incest may have took a strange turn as he/she might be pregnant, you just never know 😜

The club couldn't even sort the exec boxes for food - few of my Burnley friends bought boxes food came 10 mins before KO then wouldn't serve them any drinks at half time then also in main box some people didn't even get served and the PGA golf star was that hungry they all chipped in and sent someone to MacDonald's to put food on the table - its an utter farse what's actually running the club - to many staff in high up jobs what aren't fit to have the job - once again of no real leader  to have as a boss

Have my doubts about that story but If that's true then its total incompetence...hospitality was sold out roughly two weeks before the game.

Maccies in corporate? Think his Dingle pals are pulling his plonker a tad here…

I’m old friends with the guy who arranged the sponsorship, big rovers fan that moved out to America a couple of decades ago, he came over with a client (Harold Varner) and they definitely seemed to enjoy their day and didn’t see any complaints made to be fair
