Riverside usually shut for these early round cup games so i suppose it's a bonus they've left that open Dingles on buses again so plod continuing to have their say.

I wonder how many of their lot will choose to spend their money on a trip to Ewood over a trip to Wembley for their game v Spuds, tickets only £30 adults by the way, Quite a lot I would wager.

There must have been 3k + walk ons there was loads buying tickets before 2pm so it'll take some convincing for them to return for MK Dons, classic Rovers shooting themselves in the foot tactic although that's been going on as long as I can remember

You have a point although this is Burnley it's always been about us and them fan wise so everything else to one side. Let's stick it up em, a win v these lot might just light the fuse for the season before all the belief totally evaporates.

I'm reading the U23s played a similar system to the first team on Sat ? Let this Nuttall lad have a go at Burnley in the reserves cup !

There'll be nee chance of that v Burnley.

The way it's panning out and the short timespan for tickets I can see only about 7k home fans

Apparently it is if they are in 1875.

They manage all that but somehow failed to give any ticket details for Bradford away

Not on TV so expect daft prices and a gate barely over 10k.

I said last season that if we went down to league 1 under this lot we'd be finished as a club. At the very best we've 1 chance to bounce back this season and that rests on Mowbray which is worrying. After this season it's curtains for the foreseeable believe me.

It did get stick on here and quite rightly at times it was painful party line treading stuff but it was the content not it's existence that got stick. I'd imagine it was mainly aimed at the community in general and those who for whatever reason couldn't attend otherwise why have it in the first place ? Not as if 20 thousand people sat at the match had earplugs in listening to it. Therefore it's a community service axed imo. Poor form yet again from the clueless suits, how much does multi millionaire Bob put back into the club ?

So the first thing they do is dump it instead of looking at other ways of maybe operating it and financing it, pathetic but typical of the pass the buck culture at Ewood. Likes of Cheston & co hiding behind the audit on one hand and the owners on the other, not our fault gov just doing as we are told. Surely they could have sought a sponsor for it or something along those lines all this oh it's ok get on ifollow or stream or whatever is just typical of the clueless thinking down there, clubs now aimed at the few not the many. Many across Blackburn & Darwen won't have the option of anything internet based particularly the older generation but the attitude is if you can't pay for what's on offer screw you. Community club ?

I'm sure they could have downgraded the radio station a bit without completely scrapping it. One commentator is enough and they are shooting themselves in the foot a bit seeing as it was the clubs biggest propaganda machine in recent times. How much is the license to broadcast ? Probably less than servicing and cleaning one vehicle of the fat mans car collection

DO NOT RUIN THIS WITH STUPID TICKET PRICES CHESTON or it'll fall on it's arse if it's on TV. For once come up with something imaginative to fill the place up, won't be a full house but 18 to 20k should be achievable if the price is right. Leave the BBE upper tier closed unless there is demand to keep the other sections as full as possible to help atmosphere and stick the majority of the visiting horde in the upper tier of the DE if their allocation is restricted. Oh and tell the police to do one if they start talking bubbles, they don't run the football club. Time for some spine here.

Burnley fans to travel up via A1, Rovers fans to Anglsey then via Dublin to Shetland !

Mike Cheston is currently doing cartwheels naked across his living room under his life sized ceiling picture of fat Barry. Blackburn police are already drawing up the bill on a cost plus 50% basis and looking for as many ways as possible to ruin the fixture.

Villa or Sunderland away I reckon.

Do they not bother advising them to 'Check source' then check it again in journo college.

Away at Villa probs , not long ago we'd have been saying not them again but right now it's an attractive proposition.

Yes no doubting he's a cultured player more of a thinking defender than blood and thunder so get a couple of those types around him and he'll be fine. I don't think he lacks the motivation it's just the type of player he is, slightly laid back.

Noticed that when he first came he's a bit of a ball watcher too casual at times although I put that down to the championship settling in period for him but maybe not. We desperately need some win the ball first ask questions later type defenders we are so lead footed at the back, it'll keep proving costly. We are going to end up needing to score 3 or 4 to win games again !

3 at the back in away games in the league is very much a no no from me it just doesn't suit these players. All at sea when Cov attacked at times from highlights I've seen although they gradually got to grips with it but in a league game with more robust opponents we could have been 2 or 3 down again. Great attacking effort and the football flowed at times but just as Southend presented a challenge we maybe didn't need on opening day Coventry are the opposite, just the type of team you need to be playing away in the cup to get the season underway.

Never been a fan of it aside from odd games as I think you need really good players to master it and certainly a leader or two organising it.

It really is beyond me how so many watch that type of utter trash and even worse it gets on the front and middle of newspapers nearly everyday.
