You can't now

I agree..it absolutely helps but equally it isn't the reason for decent attendances. Notlob have been through very barren spells of attendances, but now they have an engaged, excited fan base with excellently priced season tickets that are getting people to attend. If they come up, they'll beat us twice in the league as their fans will be exorcised to attend both home and away and generate that siege mentality against their 'rivals' something we can only dream of. We couldn't even get a good attendance against Burnley last season and embarrassingly didn't even sell out the parts of the ground that were open never mind huge swathes of the ground being closed. We will struggle to get anywhere near their average attendance levels on more than say 3 occasions next season.

I see the dumbing down has already begun. "Small tweaks and not major surgery". Club is an absolute shambles from the very top to the very bottom.

Is that you, Steve?

Isn't that a massive contradiction? Unhappy with a man with relevant but not exacting experience but happy with a man with zero experience?

£400 a ST is about £150 too much. See Nobenders, Bolton and Hudds for the way to go to get bums on seats

The About section is Brent esque 😂

Don't think I'll be having a ST again for a long while. I didn't renew in the summer on a point of principal and I've only been a few times this season due to conflicting family commitments...is much harder to say no when you don't HAVE to go to Ewood. The rot is well and truly in. When literally every club in the country are looking at an uptick in attendances we seem to have stayed still or gone backwards and it'll be a record ST sales this summer barring a huge shift in cost.

If we go down via goal difference I won't be assed to scrutinise individual matches, that clearly isn't the issue; the same as us missing out by GD last season wasn't. We shouldn't be anywhere near this sorry mess. After finishing just outside the playoffs the last two seasons other clubs would be looking to kick on and their supporter base would be filling the ground out most seasons, but inevitably we conspired to f*CK the whole thing up in a way only the Rao family seem to know how. Mark my words; if we go down on Saturday, which sadly I think we will, don't expect us to be back at Championship level any time soon. We got lucky with the make up of League 1 last time we were in it and we had a manager (as much as I wasn't his biggest fan) who had been there, seen it and done it. We now have one who is honestly abysmal and the club is in a much worse state now then the last time we had to put up with this crap.

Don't worry, John Fleck will save us

It wasn't. It was straight down his throat. A basic save.

Simply, simply, disgusting. That little passage of Britain and Hyam resulting in Hyam getting a yellow sums it up. Embarrassing

Wow. Unbelievable. Lose this and we are finished.

A CFO is similar to a CEO whereby they would usually sit on the board or directors as the head finance honcho.

Matt Smith on 5Live talking about the potential of buying Rovers (all very tongue-in-cheek sadly)

Horrific. I called it after their first corner that Dann was nowhere near Wheater and couldn't get off the ground. The 2 corners after Wheater scored his respective headers. I genuinely don't think Dann was doing it purposely he was just shite.

Genuinely think that's it. Down and done. I would genuinely be shocked if we stayed up now

Not my opinion but what they said

Sounds like the senior players think differently and want a scrap and they will likely have a big say in approach if and when a new man is appointed

You can only think at this stage that it's deliberate sabotage. It surely can't be anything else.

Rinse and repeat from last year isn't it. Like rearranging the deck chairs on the titanic. Wish they would just piss off

Meant Wharton #obvs

My first home game in a wee while and I was treated to some corporate hospitality which to be fair I thought was decent. My two cents; Pears - not much to do other than almost gift Wrexham a second goal. The follow up save was excellent but the basic error leading to it was genuinely terrible. Take it in or push it wide - not straight back out! Seen him do this a LOT. Still a liability just less of one compared to Wahlstedt. JRC - boy how we've missed him. Strong and aggressive. He is basically the antithesis of Britain. Hyam and Wharton - bundled them together. Both solid and decent. Didn't give much away in terms of chances Sigurdsson - unfamiliar position for him and didn't seem to suit him Trondstad - my MOTM. Thought he played really well and was nice to see him rifle one in the roof of the net. The guy must be the first name on the team sheet Garrett - at fault for their goal and had a VERY poor first half. Gave the ball away a lot and didn't have his usual bite. Moran - drifted in and out as usual and his final pass kept letting him down. Dolan - tried hard but really flattered to deceive. He was getting in a right strop first half as he kept being unable to beat McClean but he should be admired for his persistence. Very unlike Dolan he fired some lovely long ranges passes about tonight Szmodics - love the energy and the work rate. Took both his goals well and is probably underrated in the finishing stakes. Constantly passes the ball accurately in to the corners and almost looks like a 'proper' number 9 in this regard. Almost Rhodes-like IMHO Gallagher - effort not lacking and got a goal and assist but was pretty quiet all in all. Seems to still be feeling himself back a later after injury. Interestingly in the post match stuff during S Wharton's MOTM presentation he dropped a little hint at a signing or two before the window closes in a couple of days...

Honestly I'll be stunned if this is correct. You watch, it'll be our best attendance season to date 😂
