Sadly, that fan has died. Agree with all the stuff on the waterlogged pitch/Vs etc. Just on a different tack and the game. How on earth did they not score in the first minute of the second half? (Good save from Pears but their player should have squared it for a tap in.) And more generally, why didn't either side just get the ball in from corners -woeful.

As you say, of all of those I think Wigan is the only viable option really. You have to be careful to not go too far away that the fans walk en-masse and won't drive an hour to Salford. If that happens, there's no income from tickets and the club folds - like Wimbledon FC.

Taken from the Dingles MB,yep,your right lads,we're a fookin embarressment...

There’s not much left to say. We are a shambles. A complete laughing stock. The facilities are derelict and the squad is heading in the same direction. Until the owners depart there’s just very little point anymore. We are circling the footballing drain (sorry to mention drains so soon).

Hand on heart, I would give anything to trade places with Wednesday, -10 and all. They are free to heal and to succeed as a great name in football once more. They will be in the Premier League before us. There's a particularly gormless sounding old man near us who was chanting 'Going down' at them as they sang and enjoyed supporting THEIR club. All around was silence.

We need to take a philosophical approach. 'if a goal is scored at ewood, but it's raining, will the goal count for anything?'

I wonder what Ismael and the players think about this. Can’t wait to hear his “post” match interview. Surely he has to blame the club.

I'm glad I slept through all of this.

Suggest to me the drainage pipes are blocked.

I think ALL Rovers fans would welcome an FA investigation. Enough is Enough.

What is comment meant to mean?

Today there were 44 scheduled professional league matches in England across the four divisions. Two were abandoned. Charlton because of a spectator illness and ONE for a waterlogged pitch. For that club this is the second home fixture abandonment due to a waterlogged pitch. Elsewhere no other Prem/Championship/League2 match in England has been abandoned due to waterlogging THIS SEASON (Bolton's was down to a lights failure). Mr Gestede, please talk your way out of that. "We didn't think there was a problem" - then you're useless and you're fired. "The owners won't fund us" - they're worse than useless - they're fired. "We couldn't generate funds on our own" - Ahem, Wharton, Szmodics, the bus load of players that turned up in Derby and Wrexham - you're fired. Oh, you can't be arsed doing the boring day to day stuff like fixing fax machine, stitching and draining the pitch, cleaning and repairing the stadium - do us a favour, go away. PLEASE, and take that Pasha bloke with you.

Stolen from someone on twitter: It's nearly Christmas and Rovers have had more home games abandoned than home wins.

Absolutely, to gain long term you need to suffer short term (look at Wednesday) boycotted then weeks later chansiri is gone and the future is bright

So that part that was due to be fitted the week of the first Ipswich game has been sorted now right Lindsay?

I'm glad. Really glad. It's embarrassing, but this kind of thing is needed to bring the spotlight on to the issues here. The bigger picture and aim is getting the club out of this lot's clutches. I hate the regime, not my club. Understand this, Rudy. This is a 15 year problem. You and Yasir are not the problem, for me. This isn't about either of you. This club does not recover nor succeed, until Pasha and Venky's have gone. The sporting media needs to ask a simple question tonight: "Why were Blackburn Rovers able to play in torrential rain at Ewood Park for many years during the Premier League era, without a problem, but now have to call games off?". Utterly embarrassing, but a fitting summary of this 15 year circus.

At what point do we begin protests? I have had enough of them, we’ve seen all quality and experience booted out the door and failure to manage the pitch, disgraceful and Amateur club we have become and it isn’t what Jack Walker would be proud of. VENKYS OUT!

GET OUT OF OUR CLUB

It will be someone else’s fault. Blame the fans, blame God, but never a hands up and an apology for getting things badly wrong.

There's now a further factor to add to this: the likelihood the game will actually complete, or instead be abandoned and be a complete waste of time. Does anyone know if those who bought tickets for the first Ipswich game got their money refunded?

If anyone is stuck for football to watch, Accy are now into minute 110 of their fixture under the 'relentless' weather

Ok heavy rain and streets cant take it but a football ground in championship should be able to. Fuming!! Fine the owners. We did see venkys capital investments but those rollers did nothing. Pathetic. Tuesdays game must be off no way ground will recover with more continuous rain.

Andy Bayes filming the pitch saying "the weather isn’t relenting here" FFS you could film my back garden saying the same but my back garden isn’t a professional sports arena. Are these people on the payroll!?!
