Thanks for this. All it does is reinforce the knowledge of how far we have fallen. -
Valérien Ismaël: Blackburn Rovers Head Coach

Keep it simple. Do it on the 8th May. -
v Middlesborough (h) - 4/4/2025
Hullrover replied to Proudtobeblue&white's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Basic probability tells me that is 1 in 100 that it happens. Takes us to the first game of the play offs in season 2026/27 if we need all 100 games. Might be lucky and be in L2 play offs vs Dolan's Derby or similar. -
We will be playing them there soon enough.

I think all 4 sides will be ghost towns. Headline figure for Riverside looks good and is the one that may well be quoted by press or comparison sites. Rest is a PR disaster with largest increases reserved for young adults followed by seniors. Would be surprised if many move to Riverside, possibly a few families where adult wants to save a bit. Might help to hit the numerical sales targets, although not helping towards the financial targets. No indication of walk on prices either, which will increase presumably to punish those who decide not to renew. And don't forget to factor in the fact that the division will lose 2 or 3 Darwen End sell outs, to be replaced by 3 that will be lucky to sell the half the lower tier from the Prem and 3 from Div 1 that will certainly not need the top tier opening. Who will be Cat A next year? Nobbers, one of the current top 4, Wednesday? Will I renew? Yes of course. My JW outer gone up £36 or 12.7% but I get my state pension in July and I want an A ticket for Wrexham or Wycombe or Stockport or Luton, provided they are on a Saturday at a sensible time for train travel. I will get to my usual 15 Ewood games so will probably be paying around par for my tickets. Saves the hassle of buying individual tickets. I fully support anyone who takes a different view though and want rid of the owners as soon as possible.

Still some use for the Derby snakes then.

Interesting that 4000 adult sales was only 10% below target. The bar is set really low. Barely meets the bill for executive pay. Ironically they are going on sale early which is what people want (why they want to part with their money before the season has finished is completely beyond me) and even if they have also finally listened and dropped the price significantly this will backfire due to the mess that the club now finds itself in. I will of course be renewing, despite only attending around 15 matches each season, as I will be getting my pensioner discount for the second year which has felt like a proper price drop. I hope others get the benefit of a reduction too although I doubt it. Club are welcome to sell my seat for games that I cannot attend due to being midweek or stupidly rearranged to fit in with Sky.

v Norwich City (h) - 1/3/2025
Hullrover replied to chaddyrovers's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
This was very evident in the first 20 mins but to be fair he was chasing back much better in the second half, although when he got to their player he didn't seem to know what to do. Still, really exciting to have someone prepared to take on a defence and have a shot. -
It's a test to see how they cope with being messed about from window to window.

200/1 on MGM. -
Eustace…he gone…*official*
Hullrover replied to jim mk2's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Doesn't help throwing insults at other fans if you want them to see your side of the argument (much of which I broadly agree with). A bit Trumpist if you ask me. Neither would boycotting games or walking out, as at the moment the players need our support (suggestion from others not necessarily you). In ground demos/gestures/banners might be a good idea, or protest marches as in the KeanOut era if anyone is prepared to organise them. Especially v Norwich which is another stupid KO time specially chosen for the millions (😂) of viewers in the far east AND India who want to watch a game between two mediocre Championship clubs neither of which have any players they have ever heard of. -

Hullrover replied to jim mk2's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Nothing on either club website about official arrival/departure yet. Be interesting if he can't agree terms there🤣. Would we then have to sack him and pay compo? Could we sack him and claim that his continued employment was untenable? -

Would snap your hands off for Jason Roberts in this league. -

Was good for Hull City last year, way better than for us in 22-23. -

Chosen in July. Likely promotion/relegation clash as well as Lancs/Yorks. -
v Stockport County (a) - 13/8/24 - Carabao Cup
Hullrover replied to Herbie6590's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Only got 5 games in 4 weeks before break so no reason why we don’t put out a strong team. Would not expect any injury prone players to start (Hedges). Would think all the bench players from Fri will get a game. -

They put a message out first week after sales started stating that they know that there are issues and that they would be resolved before the need to use loyalty points. -

Depends whether you are travelling by car or train. Prem is good in town if by train & easy parking too. Prem & Travelodge on M65 easy to get to as well. All allow you to walk there in 30 mins if having a beer. Hampton by Hilton on M65 is nice but need a taxi or drive afterwards. Otherwise Booking.com will give out of town hotels if you want to drive into and out of game. -
2024/25 Season Tickets
Hullrover replied to TheRevAshton's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Everyone up to age 23 has been looked after. Families, despite adult cost, still relatively cheap. 65+ (😀 first time) fine. Can't go along with forces/public services discount as it is divisive regarding type of employment. A flexi 15 match would help these people and other shift type workers as well as long distance travellers, but could not guarantee same seat every match. Only real issue is the timeframe for the early bird tickets; needed to be two or three weeks longer. And only one price rise. -
2024/25 Season Tickets
Hullrover replied to TheRevAshton's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Bolton EB finished 22nd April and North End is 5th June, both well before fixtures announced and tv dates released. Blackpool is 30th June and Wigan 28th June, after fixtures but probably before Sky dates. Burnley's cheapest was in an 'Accessible Corner L0 L1' so not sure how many available there, more generally £387 was the cheapest. They would appear to have sold out. All clubs unlikely to have early birds before Sky dates so that is not an argument for people to complain, although when Sky release date is known, that might inform clubs on choosing dates for next year. Our prices are reasonably competitive considering the level of football (as opposed to perceived possible standard of football). The EB is cheaper than last year. Ultimately the fans are shafted by SKY. -

You knew this was coming soon. Stop whinging. You should have planned for it. Cheaper than last year so you can have no argument. -
2024/25 Season Tickets
Hullrover replied to TheRevAshton's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
This has to be a fair deal for families and young adults who can renew before end of first phase. You get an adult and 2 kids for £400-500 up to end of phase 2. This is affordable for many working people (they can spread the cost for a slight premium). If they can't afford this then they probably wouldn't buy in at any price. It should increase ST numbers and promote long term support if the idea continues. I think that you should get a discount for buying early and May/June are lighter times cost wise for people. I can't access my loyalty points as yet (has anyone managed this?) but I reckon I have 183 from last season. I think it is a good idea to promote the Women's team though I have never been to a match (live in Hull and one travel a week is enough) but think that it is too highly weighted when you look at pro-rata cost (£65 adult, 45 OAP, 25/15 kids). Some will buy a Women's ST instead of 1875 as the point value is better than a pair of socks and a wash bag. This will create a negative aspect for the Women (i.e say 300 STs but only 100 turning up).
