This could be the answer to…..DeNeve, Tavares , Henriksson, Kargo all fish out of water …step forward boys . If I didn’t laugh , I would cry .

In some ways the club are lucky we've been winning both times. Imagine we'd been losing instead? Would we have seen such a shrug of the shoulders reaction from the competition's supposed regulators?

have they even investigated the matter of why the pitch gets waterlogged????

I’d be inclined to argue that we’re so neglectful as to have forfeited the match by not solving a known issue. Zero effort has been made to provide a solution since the Ipswich abandonment. You could have rain covers at half time. Not ideal for subs wanting to stay warm, but abandoning a match every time there’s moderate-to-severe rain in Blackburn also isn’t ideal. They ought to throw the book at us, teach the owners and Pasha a lesson and hand out a hefty fine. In the meantime - expect a club announcement of a shake up in the ground staff, as though that’s even remotely the issue.

This is very helpful for the 135 + 15 campaign (where is it?). I clearly remember Steve Waggott's failed attempts to get Pasha(and thru to Venkys) to agree to a completely new pitch rather than minor patching up.....but it was one of the battles he kept losing. There are 4 Water Guzzlers at Old Trafford Cricket Club that could have been hired for 3 months. File all this under short-termism and under-powered Management.

That would involve the EFL breaking their own rules.

He decided to 'align' himself with that curse.

I can't see how that would fly considering the Ipswich game setting the precedent.

Sheeple? May need an explanation on that one.

It's funny how you're unlucky when the club's planning and management is poor. Equally perplexing how lucky clubs are that are managed and plan well!

If we get relegated by a couple of points, its the Ewood drainage to blame.

Hope we get a huge fine so we can’t see a profit from the replay

The infrastructure of the Club is falling apart on all Levels due to willful neglect. Again,the question needs to be asked how long do we put up with this as a fanbase?

accrington stanley,7 miles from blackburn managed to play 120 minutes in the same weather,we are now not only an embarasment,but a national one at that,at least that ludicrous effort to get water off the pitch with those squeegies on wheels gave us a laugh

I'm I actually think there's a chance that awarding Wednesday the points might at least be discussed.

It has. By Venkys.

I saw it coming after 30 minutes. Ismael must think a curse has been put on him at Ewood.

Hope we get a fine, or even a points deduction, at this point, It’s embarrassing and shameful, at this point tbh.

It’s so embarrassing, it’s unreal. The fuck are we doing?

TBF immediately after the ref called it off the BBE were chanting V's out. That shows a little step forward in the narrative.

It's been pretty apocalyptic the rain today, make no mistake. You'd expect Sunday league in the park to be squelching around in mud and called off However, it's the Championship, this is supposed to be one of the top 40 football venues in England. PNE, Fylde and Accy managed to play. In the vicinity without issue. Further afield City and Everton played too! It's a recurring pattern now, it's not happenstance! The drainage needs renewing and maybe covers too. It's as simple as that.

Championship Reddit just has many photos of Ismael holding up pictures of clouds. I think that after fifteen odd years some fans of other clubs are beginning to twig that our situation might not be normal.

We are run by absolute amateurs and people who are not qualified to be in the senior positions that they are in. It's inevitable that things like this will happen - and continue to happen the longer this carries on.

There can't be a 'post match' interview, technically, as the fixture will be declared null and void and will take place on another day, once the FA wake up and use the recent precedent as their measure. FWIW VI stomped off down the tunnel a long time before the ref got anywhere close to his final decision. It was clear from the ref's body language at the outset that there had to be a dramatic change in the prevailing conditions in order for there to be anything other than an abandonment. Those parasitic morons in Pune. I curse the day they were conceived - odious endeavours indeed. Currs and mongrels the lot of them, attended by sycophants and scoundrels. They are about as fit and proper as owners as Nicolae Ceaușescu was a philanthropist. Scum needs to skim off back to its scurrilous roots and divest.

Unfortunately a sizeable percentage of the match going crowd at Ewood are either totally oblivious or in denial as to the severity of the mess this club is in. That bloke being one of them. This club is in a dire, dire state and yet sadly the head in sand brigade continue to tell themselves all is well because we get to watch the lads every other week on Ewood. The way things are going that might not be able to continue much longer. If Ewood is no longer functional as a football venue during wet periods we will struggle to fulfil our fixture commitments. I'm looking forward to the lies and blame game that will come from the club stooges over the coming days. Ismael and the players deserve better but he needs to speak out rather than defend the regime. Last time they gave a microphone to groundsman Trevor to talk us through it all. I doubt they'll get away with a similar stunt this time around.
