I would genuinely hope that the Club has learned from past mistakes and will explain, consult and listen to those affected.

There have been more interesting developments on the ISSA Bros involvement at Ewood. I can’t say too much but it involves investment in land very close to Ewood.

It is going to be NO1 in the BBE. It is more advanced than you think.

20+ minutes queue on Livesey Branch Rd at the Feni end due to roadworks 😡

A direct quote from the Fans Forum minutes by the look of it.

Shrewsbury (2018) and Wolves both launched safe standing some time ago. Both clubs went to the licensing authorities rather than wait for the legislation to change. According to Shrewsbury it has “revolutionised” their match day experience and has encouraged a new cadre of younger fans to their club. PS. There was a lot of unsafe standing at Barnsley 😌

Those are the rules but at Barnsley, as you say, Boro and Forest some of the players were high 5’ing fans and posing for selfies.

It is usually almost empty, even the freeloaders don’t turn up any more 😬

Have a look at the Fans Forum minutes on the Club website. 1,000 seats being converted will cost £70k and they may have to move some existing ST holders (the irony of it); it won’t happen!! Maybe we could ask Millercare Mobility to sponsor a safe standing area along with a couple of our loan player sponsorships.

It is a site close to the M65. More madness btw.

That dingle will be ‘Churchie’. He never actually attends at t’Turd. He moved to the village to live with a woman but she dumped him a few months later.

Wheelton always used to be 90% Rovers.

Exactly. You only need to seethe queue of cars going down Livesey Branch Rd and Blackburn Old Rd after each game. I wonder if the Fans Forum members could ask for a breakdown of ST sales by postcode; Rovers will have the information at their fingertips and a comparison of the percentages per postcode area over say 10 years may show some interesting trends.

You can by online from the Blackpool FC site.

Excellent news Chadders. I wish we had a few more. Rovers fans were queuing from early this morning and 100’s turned away according to Facebook. No doubt the Blackpool ticket office will now be checking postcodes and ticket purchase records.

You may be surprised at the number of Rovers fans in Preston including our very own ‘Tulketh Blues’. If you watch a game at Chorley FC you will often see Rovers, Nobbers, Wigan and Bolton shirts. Chorley is a prime target area, especially the outlying villages on the Blackburn side of town.

Absolutely no idea. They are business men, they come from and live in Blackburn and have their HQ in the town - that is a fairly decent starting position for me. What do you think?

Sorry but I am struggling to understand the point you are trying to make.

They now have their own box at Ewood.

There are some very interesting developments on the Rovers ownership front. There is local interest that the V’s have not shunned.

You are not taxed on it if you don’t take it up.

You appear to have no idea how the HMRC work nor any idea about tax law. There is no need to increase pay to cover this loss as other mechanisms are in place. What is a ‘maggot boy’ please? Is that a term of endearment or one of abuse?

I tend to use this for away games. It has always been useful. https://footballgroundguide.com/leagues/england/championship/oakwell-barnsley.html

30 years ago we were in Division 2 and we won 0-1. I remember it well.

Free tickets for staff are a taxable benefit which explains the need to remove them. Maybe the staff are able to watch the games live by other means - clearly the Club cannot explain what these ‘alternative’ ways of watching are or they may well fall foul of the HMRC. This is a NON story.
