I’m not sure I understand your point Matty. Do you mean the club should just block some seats out for those who want to move? How would that work? As an example I can imagine that there are some fans who might want to move to the safe standing seats in NO1. Up to the claim your seat deadline there were none available as it was sold out to ST holders last season. I imagine that some will not have renewed so there will be some space. Alternatively there may be some who want to move out of there as well. You need to keep everywhere free so that people can choose.

Before the days of mobile phones, raw footage of anything Blackburn Rovers was hard to come by. I came across this absolute gem a few days ago and have been given permission to post it from a friend of the site and loyal Blackburn Rovers supporter (He appears at the end of the video in the pub looking about 12). 1995 - The Night we won the league at Anfield - Just brilliant.

I was first taken to Ewood by my dad, uncle and older cousin in 1961 aged 11. We always walked from my aunties house on Copperfield St. Historically they always stood in the Blackburn End by the Nuttall St. corner flag. I haven’t a clue which game I saw but my first memory of a game was in 1962 against the newly promoted Liverpool. We won 1-0 with a late goal from Duggie. What a great team we had in those years, probably the greatest in my book, but I always wanted to see the players from the opposition that I read about in Charles Buchan’s Football Monthly. I can remember Ronnie Moran playing for Liverpool as well as Ian St. John and Roger Hunt. Their keeper was Jim Furnell.

Surely you could just provisionally block out some seats or whatever, completely off sale for a week? Good job they aren’t all on a drive to increase revenue down there…

This is usually to allow the club to action any requests for those who have renewed to move seats. There will be a lot more freed up after the claim your own seat deadline.

Rovers paid at least £20k pwk years ago for Stewart Downing aged 36.

Obviously M-B is happy enough with a regime decision.

I never get this argument. It would only work if we wouldnt have still negotiated a sell on with a more reasonable fee. Desperate to sell, January window where teams dont tend to spend much, very weak negotiating power, poor fee.

The minutes target is a diversionary tactic, youngsters are going to be thrown in at the deepens because they are cheap and we haven't signed adequate replacements

As with Raya, probably best to wait for the final reckoning.

Your caveat, is the most important point.

Expert : An ex is a has-been, and a spurt is a drip under pressure.

https://www.rovers.co.uk/club/job-vacancies/ Seems to be quite a few job vacancies on there, could point to a clue to anyone leaving?

Im sure at one point in the transfer thread you said we needed 10 signings. It seems like youve reigned in your expectations to match what Gestede has said.

And Waggott gets himself a huge pay increase. No morals or shame in these people.

Thanks Glen, you are one source online I do trust 👍👍

I can confirm this is true and verified, Due to confidentiality, although one name has appeared this morning, I'm not in a position to state their names, or would want to due to confidentiality agreements etc

Ian Pearce was another

Sad that after 15 years of Venkys the only thing I can be positive about is who might be designing a football kit, but the Macron kits have been good quality and nice designs.

There has been a few strange rumours about the club and being leaked on to social media in the last couple of months e.g. Rooney coming in for Ismael. I'm getting very sceptical as a result. I wonder whether they are putting certain untrue stuff out to see who is leaking, or maybe to try and divide supporters, cause confusion and undermine the reliability of protestors. E.g. "you all accused us of doing X, this was never happening and we don't know where this baseless rumour came from". People need to be so careful with sticking to facts. There is always so much rubbish on social media. It almost goes without saying that we all hope this isn't true, we don't want longstanding servants who have given decades for this club to be sacked. If it is, more fuel on the fire.

There is a one week hiatus by the club are for what is reported as administration. They are back on sale on May 21st with Phase 2 pricing.

Off sale until 21st May. They need a week for "admin" apparently.

Seems to be quite a few on twitter saying that some long standing employees, some with over 30 years service have been made redundant recently? Anyone know anything about that?!

Am I being an idiot or have the club not even got an option to buy a season ticket through the website anymore? I keep checking to see if the people near me have renewed but there's no option anymore 😅
