It's a perfectly fair and straightforward question to ask. Hypothetically, is it trolling to wax too lyrical about a team that can regularly produce a decent away performance but repeatedly stinks the place out at Ewood? (Not something I'd accuse Parson of btw as I know he is genuine in his opinions but there are others)

A question that sounds a lot like trolling. One can despair at the state of a club but enjoy a decent 90 mins effort from a team. I did.

Anyone watching Chelsea v Arsenal? Caiceido given an extremely harsh red by VAR imo. In real time was a fraction late with a studs down tackle and caught the Arsenal player on the top of the foot. The ref (Anthony Taylor) gave a yellow onfield which was perfectly adequate imo but VAR as usual got involved un necessarily, and told him to go over to the monitor. Of course it looked far worse in slow motion and Taylor upgraded to a red. When you compare that with the challenge on Baradji at Preston which caught him studs up half way up his calf/shin it's like watching 2 completely different sports.

Errrrr.....targetted marketing, email, social media, the website, the local press. Just like how most other things get advertised.

All the rain is tomorrow by the looks of things so by time Tuesday night comes it will be fine.

The most inevitable loss in our history (allow me a bit of hyperbole), yes we were on our way to beating them once but the football gods are fickle and our home form abysmal!

Of those players, who do you think are upgrades on those we had previously? I'll give you Gudjohnsen over Gueye (which isn't particularly difficult), but the rest?

I hope it's called off with us winning 5-0, a second postponement might prompt enough ridicule and provoke enough outrage for us to finally do something about the pitch.

poetic justice if we are losing and the game is called off😆,will that snivelling weasel mckenna have the same point of view as last time????

You're beginning to sound a bit like like Ismael there, I didnt think it was a foul, but fouls get wrongly awarded or wrongly not given all the time. Just because a foul was awarded it doesn't mean we automatically have to concede from it, it's our job to defend it properly, no matter what stage of the game we're at, then it becomes a complete non issue. It's always someone else's fault with Ismael.

Of course a casual fan would know if a game was made a tenner a ticket. How do you think people get their Rovers news/info these days? It certainly isn’t largely by having a chat with a season ticket holder over the garden fence.

I hate sounding snappy or sarcastic towards you Parson but it sounds as though you're happy to applaud them all the way down to League 1 (and maybe beyond). Could I repeat Mattyblue's question towards you, what is your opinion on the overall state of the Club and direction of travel?

Because, chances are, a season ticket holder/regular supporter would know about the offer rather than just a casual fan. How else would you get the message to people who wouldn't normally go?

Big if. Equally, it will be very difficult to maintain the away form across an entire season, both will level out to a degree. Hard to close out games with some of the dreadful squad players we have. Gestede said we have a better squad at the start of the season. I know even you have agreed that he was wrong. So I dont get why you think we could challenge for the play offs with a weaker squad.

An away end like PNE has a high percentage that don’t go to home games very often, though the ones that actually do may get together with pals that sit in different areas at home matches, plus beer and no wonder it’s far more raucous than a sparse Ewood.

Both have the ability & potential, both also better on the ball than Pratt, Litherland is a year further along than Atcheson in terms of age & experience though. Edit - I do not think that either will feature regularly for the first team this season (barring an injury crisis in December/early January). I can see O'Riordan being recalled as cover for Miller on the right of the back 3, Pratt being cover for McLoughlin on the left, and an older head being brought in to cover/challenge Wharton in the middle on a short term or loan deal (discounting Carter this season based on his injures)

Lol

It won't be if they are winning that's for sure.

Great, has there ever been a game abandoned twice for the same reason ?

You’re probably right, it will be in Yasir’s Marketing for Dummies. Though what it won’t say is that football (and especially here) is a very different animal than most marketable commodities/events, but it would help if anyone down there actually understood the fanbase.

Who of Litherland or Atcheson will follow in Pratt footsteps?

Missing my point entirely it’s not about which player was at fault or blaming or making excuses it’s about game management that is the theme that runs through each game where we have conceded in the 90+ minute

I’m not advocating it…merely trying to explain my interpretation. It’s a classic marketing ploy using your current customers to bring new ones in…
