  1. One good thing is that they tend to put away fans in the bottom tier for early cup games, so no oxygen tanks required at the top!
  2. They ruined something I was immensely proud of, but we are where we are and who’s going to put in the millions of capital every year then? I’m more than happy for them to be silent parters, they can stay a milllion miles from Ewood, but they are currently the only show in town.
  3. ‘As a Christmas gesture to our loyal away support, the owners are subsiding the ticket costs for the Leeds game, Rovers fans will pay just £2x ‘ I’ve seen other clubs owners do it, Wolves did it for Leeds away last season, not something that will ever happen here alas.
  4. My 7k included 4K barcodes, not travelling in massive numbers the PASSIONATE, SUCCESS DESERVING GEORDIES at the moment.
  5. ‘Rovers welcome PREMIER LEAGUE GIANTS Newcastle United to Ewood Park for the third round replay. With a bumper crowd expected, get your ticket now. They start at £25’ Week later... attendance... 7,000.
  6. 15% of the ground, so 8,000. Doubt we’d even need a quarter of that! We’ll get 45% of the gate receipts though, Waggott will be hoping their fans don’t arrange a boycott!
  7. Don’t ever change Vinners!
  8. It’s like Dyche. Bloke was the second coming. Tactical genius, pubs, dogs, kids named after him and all that. Few months later and they want him sacked. What an occupation!
  9. Fair enough, it’s just not something unique to us or Mowbray. Life of a manager.
  10. His David Brent-Isms would really start to grate when bottom of the league.
  11. If the summer interest in Freeman and Chapman was real, perhaps a wide man will happen in January...
  12. Think the ‘praise the players when you win, blame the manager when you lose’ happens everywhere and always has. You come off a match after a good win and you wax lyrical about individual performances of players, the goals etc. When you pay badly, it always goes back to the manager as he has trained the collective.
  13. Saw a thread on their forum saying they should buy Roofe from their ‘feeder club Leeds’ Why on earth would Roofe do that to his career with the clubs hurtling in different directions? Their time in the sun is coming to an end and I’m not sure some of them have noticed...
  14. Some of my and another’s posts were removed, which was for the best!
  15. Not disageeeing, I’m just talking generally about the rate of pub closures. As for the red button, the whole thing needs removing ASAP and that’s said as someone that has taken advantage of it three times already.
  16. Of course, there are demographic factors at work in east Lancs. Take Revidge Road and Shear Brow, 6 pubs a decade ago, now zero. Livesey Branch Road, 7 a decade ago, still 7.
  17. That was my point, you watch a lot of football, so you’d expect some knowledge of the game, yet you qualify a great centre forward performance by referring to his ‘3 tap ins’. ’Gangs’, ‘point scoring’. It’s called debating chaddy, if you can’t do it without coming out with silly expressions like that, don’t bother.
  18. It’s a more reasonable price, but it is still the limit of what it should be every week. So I’m not going to sing from the rafters that it’s not nearly £30 to sit in the Jack Walker for once. For those that regularly buy walk on tickets in stands other than the Riverside they’ll save themselves a £5 or so and I’m glad for them. But it isn’t an ‘offer’ that will attract many casual fans - though as it’s the weekend before Christmas Eve on the Monday, we may see a spike anyway due to exiled fans being back home etc and £20 may tempt a few more.
  19. Who’s collecting the points and for what purpose? The bloke scored 3 goals and set up the other and generally gave a fantastic centre forward performance. ‘3 tap ins’, for a guy that supposedly watches a lot of football is an amazing statement to make.
  20. Always amusing when someone backs themselves into a corner...
  21. Thought Conway was superb. Just his calmness on the ball, always finding a pass, which was part of the reason there was so few punts up field to Graham as we tried to play through them. Dack with a rocket up his arse helped too, obviously.
  22. Total meltdown on there. Sites like that are hard work. Instead of writing in a manager thread, there will be about 10 different ones on the go.
  23. Very poor?! What is? This place, honestly.
  24. He gives as good as he gets!
