It was raining all afternoon, during the Norwich game, and we gave a poor performance. Let's hope there's no repeats today.

Tbf i know nothing about river levels it was a total guess😂 Hopefully it's ok as we're setting off soon and have a none refundable hotel room

Go into your Apple wallet, open the season ticket pass. Open little circle in top RH corner with 3 dots in it. Touch Notifications and then close automatic updates, then open it. Your e-ticket should update to the Ipswich game.

Kind of unrelated to that actual story, though.

Also on the Portsmouth game is hammered it down the day/night before the game too.

Comment in LT that River level is high now.

I think it's only a problem when the water level of the river is too high Surely it won't be at the moment

Fair play great work any supporters at the game today hope you get some goals for your efforts 2-1 rovers

Anyone know of its reliable to get the number 1 bus up from Darwen to Ewood around 2.30 for the game? Wife has the car today... I guess could be risky with crowds/traffic? (Also how can the train line be so close to ewood but the two nearest stops are an hour walk in one direction and 40 mins in the other??)

The forecast is that it is quite moderate for most of the day, but then starts hammering it down during the game. I agree the game should probably go ahead as there wont be enough time for it to build up.

I think we might just get away with it because it was a nice day yesterday. I've just been out in it and whilst it's persistent, it's not exactly hammering it down with torrential rain. It would be rather embarrassing if we couldn't cope with this unless it gets a lot worse out there.

I’ve now spent a further 45 minutes and got a little further and managed to actually get to the E-ticket but it won’t download to my Apple wallet by Safari, Edge, Google Chrome or Duck Duck Go. Just glad I kept the plastic card 😮‍💨

It's not very heavy rain. We've played in worse

No doubt they will still water the pitch before kick off

True. And I'm guessing nothing has changed, and looking at the forecast for the day that will no doubt be a problem today?

We had a game called off last season ( or season before) for this exact reason...Was it Portsmouth?

It probably doesn't matter if they do or don't cover the pitch, if the water cannot drain away. I believe in the past the postponements have been caused by the water backing up due to its inability to drain into the river.

Phil Jones has been doing the rounds recently claiming what a huge "Blackburn fan" he is and how we are and always have been his club etc. Also desperate for a move into football as stated on the recent podcasts etc he has been on, and also has been around the club a lot recently I believe. Surely a coincidence that a half decent position at the club has just opened up?

We'll either be winning 1-0 and the ref will abandon the game after 40 minutes because the ball won't roll anymore, or it will be called off at 2pm when most folk including 4k Ipswich fans are already there. Can't imagine they have taken any precautions like covering the pitch etc because thats not what they do.

2-0 Rovers today I reckon! Ipswich haven’t exactly been on fire so far this season aside from beating a shocking Sheff United side. Think Ipswich have decent quality and they will get better as the season goes on but today we bag our first home win of the season 💪🔵⚪️

I'll summarise for you. We had an awful start but the last 3 games have been more encouraging (despite the loss with 10 against Norwich). We'll know which direction we are heading with Ismael by the end of October. My expectations have been reduced by the player turnover so if we comfortably avoid relegation and a few new signings show promise, that will be a relative success. Still not sure what his brand of football is about though.

Your stellar contribution to this tread is much appreciated

Yeah although I don't know for certain the reason, I hope it's not a full blown injury and they're just handling him carefully, but it's a full week since he played and after a clean sheet last time round to me it would be odd to change it unless absolutely necessary.....could be that Miller has been on fire in training and VI thinks he warrants a start I guess.

Didn't used to 🥺
