Bookies have us 5/2, absolutely nailed on loss

£15 Riverside £20 rest of ground Against Wrexham on New Years day and you'd be approaching a full house. Oh, and rename the Riverside in honour of Tony Parkes at half time.

We surely cant lose another at Home can we!?!?😳

At this point it's hard to escape the conclusion that they're deliberately making one or two "offers" they know won't work so that Suhail can tell the FF that "We've tried doing X, Y and Z and it didn't work". Then they can try charging the same numbers of fans (or less) and even higher amount than currently to hit their target.

(Imo) The fact that it was apparently a majority decision but a large number of the panel abstained. On the other hand: a) We should have maintained our drainage facilities properly over the years and/or taken additional measures for this particular fixture given the forecast b) We could (should?) have appealed but chose not to c) There's nothing stopping us going out and winning the game again. Karma's a bitch sometimes but if we lose tonight that should be the end of it, and I hope we don't hear any whining about it from anyone at the Club going forward or heaven forbid if the worst comes to the worst.

The town itself doesn't help with the matchday experience, growing up there were so many pubs etc to visit and the town was absolutely booming. Saturdays shopping in town would be a write off - because rovers were at home! Now? 90% couldn't care less the town has moved on from the club and they have distanced themselves.

We’ll be the unluckiest side in footballing history to get relegated if we do go down. We would have won every game this season according to Ismael if it wasn’t for those pesky officials.

That is usually the case. Last seasons rearranged game against Portsmouth wasn't shown on Sky.

It's showing as being on skysorts+ from 19:40

In response to messages re TV that the system won't let me quote...I was of the understanding this is a rescheduled sat 3pm game and therefore couldn't be shown on sky sports + but you're right, it is now showing on the schedule

Never learn with the bundles do they. £100 for 4 games in the Blackburn End with one before Christmas isn't an attractive deal. If they have to do a bundle, how about the 4 January home games for £50 or something? Ideal for a Christmas present, probably still wouldn't be much of a take up but would be better than that offer.

What's the other one you're referring to? It's a disgrace this replay is even happening (at least in this form). I'm going, but I'm not happy about it. And I'm certain I'll be going home with a very bitter feeling.

I’m pretty sure they usually don’t do pre match conferences when it’s Saturday Tuesday. I only know because they don’t post it on rovers tv

One of my favourite penalty awards - a very rare one where all the Wimbledon players just react with a shoulder-shrug and 'Yep that's a penalty' Can you imagine today - they'd be screaming for a VAR check just in case there was a feather touch on the ball or some other technical reason to overturn the decision.

Just by way of comparison you could've picked up a half season ticket at PNE for £170.

Thanks. That is really unusual as I thought they were mandatory.

I don’t think so, no.

It's not really saving if you can get to all 4 games, if like most you'd struggle to make all of them over the festive period it's a terrible deal!

Has Ismael done a pre match press conference for this?

The core now is largely made up of ageing fans who've seen us middle of the road then great, then good and then just back to being middle of the road so they accept it as normal. And younger fans who've just grown up with what we are now - as the likes of me did in the mid 80's / early 90's and haven't seen anything different. So just accept it alongside falling for the 20 mill a year line. Many many of the passionate fans have actually got so angry with everything they've just walked away odd game aside because the whole thing has been hopeless.

Really surprised the Club didn't appeal the original decision. Especially given a large proportion of the panel abstained due to an alleged conflict of interest. We seem to love pursuing a lost cause normally but when we had (two) genuine grievances, we didn't.

We have their number.... Rovers 1 Ispwich 0 Hendry Gennoe stretchered off, Garner in the nets. 6,271

Hope to god we win tonight to remove any possible controversy, we'll never hear the end of it from Ismael and Club apologists if we lose and end up going down by less than 3 points. His get out of jail free card for the rest of the season gift wrapped to him in a bow potentially.

It does seem set in stone that we'll lose tonight. Sod's law and all that. It'll be a free hit for the manager and board regardless as most fans will blame the original ref / EFL for the decision to replay, even if we lose.
