He won't get near the first team even if it is in League One. There are at least four, possibly five ahead of him. There was a theory on here when it was previously discussed that he was signed to make up the numbers in training.

Unfortunately you're making the mistake of thinking that anyone cares whether he is any good or not. A cheap keeper that could potentially sit on the bench in league one when the next manufactured relegation happens, win win. You don't even have to register your keepers at that level. If he isnt good enough so what? Neither is 80% of this summers recruitment but nobody at the club bat an eyelid over that.

True but they have seen an opportunity to fleece 7000 Wrexham fans because its an easy hit. It's live on Sky, early kick off and New Years Day. I seriously doubt whether those three have been factored in when they came to this decision. When we play Sheffield Wednesday next week their prices are £33 for an adult, the same as the Blackburn End but if you buy a ticket from Ewood there is a £2 surcharge. On the link below Sheffield Wednesday there is no mention of a surcharge for buying tickets in person which begs the question why Rovers fans who buy paper tickets are being charged more than the away fans who do the same. https://www.swfc.co.uk/news/2025/november/22/ticket-details--blackburn-v-wednesday/

That says it all really. A young lad making his 2nd appearance. The more experienced players should hang their heads.

Certainly not as a starter. Maybe for the last 15-20 minutes.

Midweek games in a cold winter night will always been poorly attended. With people having means to watch at games at home that will be the option for some. Prices could be cheaper but given the above circumstances not sure that would have much affect. Match day prices do need to be cheaper granted. How could we improve the atmosphere on match days anyway? Any ideas guys?

Yep, this. Can't see anything other than a comfortable home win.

Even if he was on £500 a week it's wasted money. He was awful when he first came and didn't get any better and if the coaches (or whoever) couldn't see that then they should pack up. We are stuck with him this season and next. He has no saleable value so to get rid we will have to pay him off. In terms of wasted money it's probably the top of the iceberg but it's all relative.

Suspect what we are seeing is simply the stooges at Ewood, probably just Suhail and his little gang, feeling some pressure about falling short of their financial targets from India. So probably a storm in a teacup, because all that usually happens is that India has to send some more cash over to make up the shortfall and on it goes. Now if India is unwilling or unable to do that then things could get really interesting. But ultimately it's probably just Suhail and Sufi panicking that, amazingly, after what's gone on here over the last few years, that people aren't buying it any more and are walking away/cutting their financial support. Who could have seen that coming? This lot are so clueless they probably don't draw any sort of link between their appalling conduct and decline in income/support.

Piss poor midfield against a hard working team. We'll get run through.

Terrible pricing for the Wrexham game at a time when most are financially stretched...absolute shit for Brains.

They just don’t understand fandom, why did Wrexham bring so many last time? Because it was a big cup tie for them, on a crest of a wave and a new ground for the vast majority to tick off. Of course they won’t bring the same numbers a couple of years later at £35 for a Sky noon kick off on NYD. Cue surprise from the regime when they bring a third of what they had for the previous game.

The one's who don't go don't wanna know unless we are winning every week and then they suddenly forget the Venky hate. The one's who do go don't want to know real boycotts even though most of them hate the owners and those running it and can see the damage done. Catch 22, bizarre club and fans you lot. That's from a Bolton fan looking in from the outside.

Liverpool 0-1 Rovers 12/9/93 Talk about announcing your arrival at the top table. Rovers winning away at Anfield? Unimaginable.

Don't ask me, i was a happy clapper for a day. That's over now. Sack the board - If you can find them.

The last time I checked the rules allowed up to 4 'local promotions' a season where home fans can be charged less than away fans. So provided that still stands they could designate this as one of those and charge £10 for Rovers fans and more for Ipswich fans. Just as they could put the away fans upstairs in the DE and charge them more for upper tier seating as opposed to the lower BBE. They don't want to do this. They never use the 4 local promotions each season. Any offer to fans usually has various strings attached to make it harder to benefit from it.. Ultimately they don't really want to fill the place up or put out a serious ticket offer. They just want to appear to be doing something probably to cover their own backsides. All this stuff with bundles and bring a friend just doesn't work, especially not in the midweek fixtures. Time and time again the uptake proves it. They don't learn because they don't want to. I doubt they even know about the rule down there. But they'll be looking forward hoping Wrexham bring 7k (unlikely) based off what they did in the cup a few years ago and to that end it's £35 in the Blackburn End for a New Year's Day early kick off. They're only looking at one thing here and it isn't the benefit of Rovers fans or the home ends.

Yep, isn’t on by the looks of it… https://www.skysports.com/championship-scores-fixtures/2025-12-01

I edited my post as you replied, we are pretty much "aligned" in our thoughts 😉

Because Barrett will still be here when all those depart/get sold. Nobody is paying money for him, so as you say in your earlier post he will be then seen as an "experienced head" to sit on the bench in league one, whether we are there next season or the year after.

Because this is a rearranged game from a Saturday, I don't think it will be on the red button or televised at all. Unless you are "abroad" maybe 😉

I would agree with that argument if he was the cheap 2nd/3rd choice travelling with the squad. But why extend his contract when we already have at least 5 (Toth, Pears, Michalski, Goddard, Honor) better options, & then loan him out anyway? It would have been cheaper to just release him at the end of his contract last summer. This one I put down to incompetence (or pre planned relegation) rather than penny pinching

That was aimed at the 8k
