Surely they could find a firm that’s willing to give a kickback.

No %s for agency fees when spending big on a new pitch though....

https://www.rovers.co.uk/news/2025/december/08/forshaw-ruled-out-of-oxford-encounter/ They’ve not even felt the need to describe Saturday’s game as abandoned.

The state of the pitch is just one of many symptoms of their lack of care. The whole stadium is a neglected, run down, shoddy mess, and sooner or later some other urgent remedial action will be needed elsewhere. They have absolutely no pride, nor do they care a jot.

He's not leaving with his chunky 3 year deal.

Has the Club and its employees gone into total lockdown...lost at Sea?

Generally Rovers fans do underestimate the wealth of our owners and what they could do, if they wanted. Sadly they have no interest in improving the club and that is largely the main reason they need to go.

Part genuine question. If Tuesday 6pm it's chucking it down, conscious of fixture congestion, do we just play all the kids?

Where is he?

The top end figure of £2 million is only £50,000 than the interest paid on the overdraft for the last accounting period (holding company).

He died just before Venkys took over, think he must’ve known.

I know its not an impact on FFP and I said we need to invest in a new pitch and drainage facilities several times

Please understand (as should the entire fanbase) £1 - 2m is chump change for our owners and does not impact FFP. To put it into perspective they would spend that amount on one, of many watches and forget they own it. They are free to spend as much as they want on facilities without sanction but have no real interest in Blackburn Rovers.

If it costs a million quid plus, it costs a million quid plus. These types of works are the *absolute minimum* obligations of a football club at any level, I.e an infrastructure that means you can fulfil your fixtures. If the owners can’t/wont meet those, then sell up and fuck off.

Are we doing any legends caps at this game? The guy in the Riverside who comes suited and booted with a radio and fancy hat? Paul the octopus to maintain the nautical theme?

Whos for a pint in the Winchester?

Storm Bram planning to stage a pitch occupation protest against Venkys tomorrow night. In the unlikely event we get to the allotted 90+5 minutes goal for Oxford, this is a trickier opponent than their league position would suggest.

Yeh agreed he won’t leave he is one of their own yes men- see his excuses list not once does he mention the lack in financial support from the owners or the systematic downgrade of our club and facilities which would be suicidal but we saw JDT call them out so it’s not beyond the realm of possibilities however this chump must be loving the gig he’s got

Or 1/18th to 1/9th of an Adam Wharton

so around £1-2m depending on a number of different factors

I guess it all depends on where it is draining too etc.. more cost if it's more complex.

Wrexham’s was reported to have cost £1 million this summer.

About what Tavares will cost in full. Dare I say the pitch so far would've got us 6 points more than Sidnei

and what the cost now of total pitch revamp and new drainage system now?

In fairness, where I sit Ewood only ever feels like it's got 6,000 there. So when the attendance shows at 13,000+ I can only presume those fans are so densely packed in I can't notice them
