Designed by a Rovers fan and Darrener Gary Aspden.

He did indeed !

Slightly off topic ..the new Adidas Spzl release ...Adidas Blackburn  ..Green and Red ..colours of our rose on our badge ..with a Blue sole thrown in for good measure

For those that have seen him ..fair assessment ..?

Good to see Rankin-Costello and Buckley on the subs bench. Bell and Smallwood both miss out completely. 

Was just thinking the same myself ...the kids are certainly getting opportunities which is what we all love to see. 

As we are not privy to the day to day behind the scenes running at rovers we certainly don't know what attitude Chapman is displaying ..but lets put it this way if the lad was busting a gut in training etc etc then we certainly would nt have heard TMs comments we have today. So read that as you will...

Agree with SkipDonoghues comments above ..these young uns think they ve made it once they sign ..and are open to criticism and quite rightly so.

The Whitebirk stadium would’ve been great for the Hyndburn fans though...

Whitebirk was also muted as an area for a new Stanley ground.

As ideal it would be for someone from Hyndburn like me I would have hated it.Going to Ewood actually in a town in a community surrounded by terrace streets with history actually makes it feel like a town team. A ground ( or stadium!) on an industrial estate would be absolutely  soulless.

I wonder what capacity they would have gone for ..we could have ended up with a right white elephant...

If we were playing say Burnley and they were given 5,000 tickets, if they put 3k upstairs and the rest downstairs, I get it, it splits up their support and dilutes what would otherwise be a raucous packed bottom tier.

If you are playing Cardiff in a run of the mill Championship game, does Waggott really believe it will make one iota of difference where their 6/700 fans are? It just makes Ewood look desolate.

Less stewards required when they re up in the sky ? ..No need for stewards to be on pitch side when they re sat up in the heavens. As for making it look desolate  raise your eyes slightly up or down a (depending where they are sat ) and it still looks desolate with 700 fans in an empty stand.

I wonder if Lenihan and Nyambe backed Mulgrew?

How many teams has Garner managed?

Im pissed off with the result but cant comment on the performance because it sounds like the majority of the board(apart from those that were there and commented ..thank you ) had a stream and didn't share ..set of c....

Sod's law, our ex-striker banging them in for Blackpool. Knew we shouldn't have got rid and given him more time.

 

 

Well done Delfounso

Well it wont be Nuttall..

Just now, Stuart said:

Not really. Could have got closer maybe but I blame the lack of closing down. His decision making and kicking is poor.

Cheers 

Just now, Tugay's Right Foot said:

That would be harsh

Not seen it TRF ..thought with Stuart mentioning the keeper  he d may have been at fault ..but all says a worldy from Cairney ..?

Just now, Stuart said:

We really haven’t improved our goalkeeping situation, have we?  

At fault for the goal ?

Just now, DE. said:

Good teams make their own luck. Not getting a single shot on target isn't unlucky. Big performance needed in the second half. Get Graham on. 

You got stream DE ?

Just now, DE. said:

Same old pattern. We look half decent then concede. The more people posted about how well we were playing the more i knew the inevitable was coming. 

Wonder how many clean sheets we'll get this season? More than single figures? 

Don't give a f@ck as long as we win games ..

Just now, markhayhurst said:

Their Riverside stand is closed for redevelopment ?

? ...cheers Mark!!!!!!

Just now, Tyrone Shoelaces said:

He's certainly been thrown in at the deep end there.

Hm ..remember a lot wanted him to start last week the and only difference in that defence was Lenihan.

Lad has to start sooner or later ..

Just now, Tom said:

Nice one Tony, best hope that Lenihan injury isn’t bad 

Also Rich Sharpe obviously knew the two didn’t travel but only mentioned it when it leaked, could have mentioned it if he knew 

Give the opposition a heads up ?

Might as well do a Mercer and stick a few quid on a Fulham win. 

I don't think Merce backs against the Rovers ...sometimes I wish he did !!
