No need to say more , think that’s pretty clear to what headway you think you can make with the supposed ‘leader’ on the ground.

Good luck trying to engage with the organ grinders (and I mean that, no sarcasm).

Either I am losing the plot of the last paragraph says the match day ticket office will be open during the Rovers Store closure but they won't be selling West Brom tickets there. These can be only be bought online or by ringing the call centre.

Am I going mad or is that the situation?

I've read it but it is so badly worded I can't understand it.

That doesn't make a lick of sense, like everything else to do with this club.

[Wheelton Blue]

I think the gist of it, is that you can't buy WBA tickets in person. You either have to ring up and order, or do it online.

You're not going mad. If anyone can skim read this once and clearly understand the ticketing process throughout January i'll be astounded.

I’ve just received the following update from what I posted last night:

“This was the reason the murals were behind the riverside at the match. We were waiting for our memorabilia guy to work with our maintenance team yesterday to install across the back of the riverside. Just a shame they weren’t the other way around which gave supporters the impression they were just being dumped.”

Its a decent idea, so I won't criticise it too much, but by Christ does that area need some money spent on it. Rusted metal, weather stained brickwork, faded and flaking paint, rubbish all over the floor - its not exactly a tribute to our history. 

I think they'd have been wiser to put them in the BBE concourse personally, but its done now. 

[Mattyblue]

How did Swag not know that either? Does he have any clue about what goes on at Ewood Park?

I’m certainly not complaining about any improvements to the Riverside!

I’d hope he’s got more pressing matters to deal with at the moment in all honesty. His focus needs to be on helping improve matters on the pitch now we are in January.

[Ben-2000]

I'll look forward to seeing them. 

Sadly, unless the ticket policy changes it won't be on Saturday.

Of course he does, but to have no idea about the only ground improvement works going on, as well as having no idea about the Liverpool FC Night at his own stadium.

Come on!

In all likelihood the owners have absolutely no idea of any of the current off field issues concerning the supporter base the fat controller will have assured them everything is hunky dory. It's questionable that if they were to know anything would change but certainly worth a try.

You would have thought it might have been better to plan this maintenance work, to be carried out during one of the many international breaks, when we have  no fixtures !

I bet it involves burner phones 🤔🧐

It's amazing that people in power at some football clubs don't understand how much things like these mean to supporters. These career minded people don't understand the heritage or history of the clubs who employ them and just what it means to fans. And yet if things like this were run by supporters associations or even individual fans they would put them right. 

It's the arrogance that gets to me.

A bit more information on the Sunderland situation.

[Mattyblue]

When I saw that they’d even crossed out the Mackem ‘Ha’way the Lads’ for the Geordie ‘Howay’, I first thought it must be photoshopped… but no, genuine.

Christ 🤦‍♂️

[Mattyblue]

‘NNN UTC’ banners in the suites for the next Dingle game… 

That’s a joke BTW Swag/Read if you are reading!

Numerous threads on protests already and the 'Black Cats Bar' thread is already on 40 pages. Essential reading!

[Tom]

Honestly that Sunderland thing is next level, I was thinking could you imagine Ewood being decked out in claret and blue but then I realised I absolutely could see Swag doing this sort of thing 

[arbitro]

An error of judgement!

FFS is that the best they can offer?
