There'll be at least 10k empty seats across the ground but they make it all ticket ? Pull the other one it plays jingle bells.

And we need to use the Jan transfer window properly this time for once assuming there might be a modicum of backing. Non of this 500k 'one for the future' stuff or bluffing out the squad with a couple of journeymen just get in a few who can compete, decent loan business is the way to go.

I think we can safely say that was the old boys network.

I'm going for the nil nil and another tough grind.

But he isn't doing is he and all you can do when you are mistake ridden is try to iron them out and this season so far he has. Probably will drop a clanger at some point but most average championship keepers have one or two in the locker it goes with the turf. Lets give the lad massive credit for turning things around.

Loyalty bonuses ?

There was less than 16k in the home sections and taking into account the amount of complimentary's (ten lads in front of us in the JW upper for starters) and dingle interlopers keeping themselves quiet i stand by my wide awake point. These games in this era tend to draw c15k home fans and this will be no different i wouldn't have thought but we live in hope.

The Ribble Valley Prem hangers on brigade.

What's odd is Sunderland sold their allocation before ours went on sale by the looks of it, a bit odd. Credit it's only Cat B though a bit of common sense at last.

If we go for a draw we'll lose, go for a win and we'll settle for a draw. Have the right mindset, aim for the stars.

I'd suggest you need to wake up and when you do come and tell us the last time there were more than 14/15k home fans v Burnley. I'll wait !

They'll have taken the first allocation because Waggot won't pay up front for any more so hopefully Millwall allocate in small blocks after the first lot are gone, if they all go. Wouldn't hold my breath for any more if they don't.

Yes it's called cash.

There are a few still waiting in the wings for Pears to throw one in the net, woe betide anyone who tried to keep faith in the lad a few months ago.

They were piling into Blackburn and Darwen off the trains at 10 am according to some social media sites. The fuzz leaders have brains in their arseholes as all they are doing is increasing all afternoon potential agg from drinking to all day potential agg and seeing an influx all over east Lancs.

At the end of the day those selling the club were as unfit for purpose as those wanting to buy it, they were the ones who hired the spivs and sent them into the Asian market looking for buyers. The instructions were simple, show us real hard cash not borrowed money and you're in. Sayed did except it turned out not to be his but with Venkys they had a cash pile and legit business so from that point on it was theirs and their friends to do with whatever they wanted once the 23 mill had gone to the Walker Trust bank account. As shown by the debt which they didn't pay off straight away despite it supposedly being part of the sale terms.

When you consider he got a foot through the door and nearly both feet until someone else alerted the club to his dodgyness it's no wonder these lot actually did. Why did big Barry and his pals really want a football club ?

There is that phrase again 'free hit' no such thing should exist. It's a home game there is everything to play for and it's called points, we need them just as much or even more so than they do.

Don't be silly.

The world looks on and sees a half full ground for this much hyped derby and says 'big game ? pah no chance'. Others say hey it's 30 -35 quid for some bog standard Championship grounds and games ! Well yeah but not when the the standard price here is £25 then they raise it a tenner just to fleece the away support but care not a jot of shafting home fans in the process. Absolute shower of clowns run this club and that is putting it politely.

18,500 K max it'll be. Keep the gate as low as possible, BRFC 2024/25.

I think JDT expected way more of his midfield than they were ever capable of due to his stubborness with one style and one style only in his second season. Got lucky with Wharton and expected them all to be that talented and if not they had to learn to be. Didn't work.

Make it £25 in all areas except JW centre, tickets available to all home fans on database, give them 5.5k spread over top and bottom tier. Fill the gaff up a bit more and make it a proper derby crowd and extra special occasion, as it should be without the authoritarian crap. Police, CEO, stewards, stadium manager pull your fingers out and earn your money you are employed to oversee these events not downscale them and control them to suit yourselves.

Yes not like it's probably THE most important aspect of a football club or anything. Like trying to run a car on bald tyres then when it keeps skidding just replacing them every few months with cheap remoulds. Sticking plaster Venkys should be their new nickname, never mind the next big transfer will cover it, er oh sorry forgot that'll be paying a few months running costs instead !

They do £20 midweek games against the likes of Millwall etc who bring a few hundred then a week later it'll be £25 for the same seat for the same product v WBA or anyone who'll bring a thousand plus. Following Saturday we'll have a big city club and it'll be £27- £30 it's fucking stupid, pointless, rarely alters the home turnout unless we are suddenly on a good run. Might as well price them ALL £25 quid adults over 23 for all games it probably wouldn't impact midweek games much if at all ad it would draw a few more onto the Saturday derby/big games.
