And here you see how a lowering of expectations is now becoming the excepted norm on and off the field of play by supporters...is a worrying and terminal trend.

Preston now pulling more through the gates than us.The fourth lowest gate today was about 16,000. Cheers Venkys the damage you have caused to our fan base may be terminal.

Bolton concede six today...bring back the kids!

Wonder what will happen next season when a price increase is introduced....

No amount of marketing will bring in the crowds if the product on the pitch is mediocre.

What's the crowd like?

Very difficult to get excited about a Rovers game at the moment,Ewood will be like a morgue come Saturday.A general malaise is creeping in... 2-1. 12,100

Shearer,Jansen,Bellamy,Cole,Cruz..what a joy to witness players of this Calibre at our club. When I see the current lacklustre incumbents in our famous shirt I pinch myself and ask did it really happen?,it's enough to make you ferkin weep... Oh for a time Machine to be invented!!

Players now earning close to half a Million per game when the vast majority of supporters are struggling. All seater stadium have killed the atmosphere at most grounds especially Ewood.

Slightly off topic but why so many England games played at Southampton?...get up north ffs!

Too damn right..the combination of those two nearly proved too much for me and most Rovers fans. We were having the piss taken out of us in public,we have only just recovered from that nightmare period.Once again threads like this only offer to open up old wounds.

I wonder what Mark Hughes could get out of this Squad?

Leave it well alone..NO change required.

"Bumbling along,singing a Song,going nowhere in a Mowbray Winter Wonderland" Same problems,bumbling along,going nowhere.

For all the much vaunted stability that Mowbray has brought under his tenure we will not/cannot move forward to where we should be. It will be mid table mediocrity for ever and a day under this man.

Too much pace,too much power for us this West Brom side. Rovers players falling out with each other,body language awful.

Shambles at the back....absolute fookin shambles.

3-1 !

2-1 getting hammered here now.

We're on a good run?...God help us when we hit a bad patch. 1-1

Not getting enough from this player,his personal life is impacting his job.He is being paid a kings ransom to perform. Needs to be told in no uncertain fashion..shape up,sort your head out or your sold.

Spot on...the match atmosphere is not the best at present but the Ground and surrounding area retains a sense of History and Character. Ewood was a sports ground before the Rovers moved in and before most of the housing in the district was built!

Thank God it never came to fruition...would have been an out of Town Soulless disaster post Jack Walker glory era. Ewood is where the heart is.

What chance the FA extend the transfer window..just for Bolton

A very interesting and thought provoking post 47er...dont think you are far off the mark.It's all about the coin now and feck to everthing else.
