Pumps are more expensive to buy or hire than bolting on a random bit of pipe plus they need energy or fuel to run. Suhail says no we'll rely on gravity and save the pennies.

As our pitch is raised you would assume drainage would be simplified. Another option is to skewer directly into the mound all around the pitch which is fine for the outer areas. A simple angled covering of the pitch a la Wimbledon would work ( won't stop the weather though) Presumably the groundsman have taken core samples all around the pitch to Identify compacted areas. A plug sample shows grass growth and soil density as well as soil/sand/clay levels

There's a closet full of skeletons. As long as they keep hold of it that closet stays closed. The minute they let it go, or even give potential buyers access, it's open and people find out everything that's been happening here since 2010. Potentially a very good reason to keep hold even when it clearly benefits nobody and costs them millions.

Erm, how about the FACT that there should not be a problem in this basic respect in the first place? The simple solution would have been to continue to prepare the playing surface in the way in which it supported many years service without any issues during our Premier League tenure. But no, the buffoons in Pune, aided and abetted by their bean counting sycophantic legion of leaches 'knew better'. Hence here we are, once again the focus of unwanted (but well warranted) attention and derision of the rest of the football world. It was never rocket science. It was never difficult. It just needed some appropriate planning and preparation from people whose job it is supposed to be to care about these things. As we can see. THEY DON'T CARE. Feck them.

This all day long is the only answer. It can be trialled at any point mid week, it would obviously only run on before during and after a game. I'm not sure where the run off point from the pitch is, presumably between riverside and bbe get a pit dug out, whack a pump in it. Or two pumps one as back up.

Yes it looks like their expert (cheap) preventative measure to stop water flowing back up the gulley has resulted in it not flowing from the pitch quickly enough now. Who'd have thought that eh. If Del and Rodney were selling drainage solutions this would be it.

So why are they running the Club like this Tomphil?...nothing makes sense. You cannot rule out anything with these utter Clowns.

Very rich people could've done even more damage more quickly if they'd wanted to punish the minions. They wouldn't sanction another 160 million down the drain since the snowball. In a world of nonsensical stuff that is the biggest nonsense notion.

Embarrassing again from us. A whitewash is all they deserve.

The only thing those in charge at Ewood seem to care about these days is the financial bottom line, so if the EFL want to spur us into action then a heavy fine is the way to do it.

according to AI, so it may well be rubbish Accumulation Thresholds Remain: The thresholds for suspension (e.g., 5 yellow cards by a certain point in the season in the Premier League) remain the same. The player who received a caution in the abandoned match is one card closer to the threshold and risks suspension in future games, including the replayed fixture.

I knew the cards counted still, what I was meaning was do abandoned games also count towards the ‘cut off’ points (ie 19 games and 32 games) It would be harsh if a player got a suspension for picking up a card in what is deemed game 19 (because abandonments don’t count) when it was really game 19 + bits of two others. Does that make any sense??

Right in the thick of it and looking nervously over our Shoulder as it stands.

Pretty sure they do, think one of Gardner Hickmans bookings for his recent suspension was against ipswich in the abandoned game.

There is simply no excuse for the debacle. The inevitable sanctions from the FA will only serve to further dismay the already battered and disheartened faithful few, whilst the publicity is just another golden opportunity for those who would revel in our misfortune to have a free hit at our once proud club. The situation cannot go on (but we all know that it will) because the root cause continues to fester like an unpleasant chronic illness. The longer it goes on, the more inevitable it feels that it will become terminal for Blackburn Rovers. I am beginning to believe that this is actually the intention of the absent and despicable temporary landlords in the owners' box. The sooner they are gone, the better.

I wonder if the abandoned games count towards the suspension thresholds. It would be unfair if they didn’t.

It appears not,we just watch this slow motion Car Crash unfold.

We got any form of action at all?

If I was making the decision about the outcome to the game. I would make the game away to Wednesday, a double header. This would punish the Rovers without extra cost to the fans, and would not add any extra fixtures.

Do you believe Nixon Chaddy?🤣

Another released Nixon story saying we will spend money the morning after we're the absolute laughing stock of country. Who would have thought that?

More of the same isn’t it. Since 2010 we have had £6m invested in to infrastructure. That is the round sum of nothing for the size of the Rovers estate We we are seeing consequences at Ewood

Sorry I don’t understand why fans would want us docked points that would almost certainly lead to relegation. Docking us points won’t lead to a change of ownership - or any other positive outcomes. A fine is appropriate
