Pitch inspection maybe ?

Why are the floodlights on three hours before the game starts? 🤔

Sounds like we are confident it’s on them, when I saw the floodlights on earlier I wondered if there were doing a pitch inspection! Its raining a decent amount but not enough for concern however it is genuinely minging

A question you can only answer when he plays if it was sensible decision or not. That's my answer. TGH has played well so far and Tavares played well against Hull and the cup game.

I know this may sound crazy, but perhaps the thinking was, sign Forshaw to cover the midfield position until Baraji was fit enough to take over. Madness I agree, but with the present incumbents you never know.

But merely knowing something doesnt justify it. We knew Steve Kean was being appointed manager. We knew Owen Coyle was being appointed manager. We knew that Wharton was being bundled out of the door. Doesnt justify any of those. Im asking a simple question, do you think its sensible to sign a player (in a position where we have lost our captain) who we know in advance will be out for months?

What more do you want me to say? We know Rovers wanted him, we knew if we sign he needed this operation that's why we took a loan deal with an option to buy to protect us. We KNEW the situation when we signed him. Not much more to say is there. You are more obsess with the blame game and trying to say you were right to be against this. I will judge the signing on his performances in a Rovers shirt

Has to be called off. No chance we can play in this weather. Unless they’ve done something the night before to prevent the pitch getting waterlogged which I doubt. Ah oh well at least we don’t have to watch rovers aye

Big fan of Ohashi. Need to created more for him. Gueye, plan B but not first choice. Someone I would probably move on in January or next summer if we bring in a suitable replacement.

I’ve taken the brave decision to stay at home in Lancaster, with the fire on and watch it on telly. Can’t be arsed getting soaking wet for another calamitous call off.

Storm-force winds here, game would awful to watch if it went ahead. What's it like in Ewood area? Assuming they play, can't see anything other than another defeat. Ismael v Robins. What reason for optimism is there? Rovers 0 Stoke 2

It wasn't a bad game given the conditions SG.

There is a flood alert for the upper Ribble and hodder as far as Samlesbury. Think the Darwen goes into the Ribble. As the Ribble fills up will affect the Darwen. We need an eyeball on the outflow pipe at Ewood

If the weather in Blackburn is anything like the weather in Rochdale I can’t see the game going ahead. We had 2” of rain in my back garden yesterday. Plus it’s pouring down now.

Pitch had very little time to dry out overnight either... Begs the question, why can't we afford covers? I'd wager a cover costs around £2 5-8k?

Not sure a pre game postponement would save much embarrassment though either. They'll want it to go ahead, desperately, so they can say "see our pitch and dogshit drainage can cope with rain". I watched midweek via the club broadcast and the amount of times they mentioned how we'd been impacted by the postponement was ridiculous, like we'd been really hard done to. The usual attitude from within the rotten club that we're never at fault, ever.

Starting to come down heavily now, though. Enough hours of heavy rain ahead to waterlog the pitch. I'm still expecting a late call off, not least because officials, club etc will be desperate to avoid the embarrassment of another mid game abandonment.

We were already in the bottom 3 after Wednesdays results onwards & upwards (or is it backwards & downwards) though 😉

It'll be on. It's not dropped near enough rain as it did the other week. The wind will help

The weather yesterday was much worse than the Saturday when we played Ipswich. Its meant to Sunshine and rain during the game according to the met office forecast

Much worse where? I've been up since 6am and changed my mind multiple times whether it'll be on or not, it's inconsistent! At 6am I'd say definitely off, right now I'm not so sure as it's mainly the wind making itself known. Maybe it'll help blow some surface water off the pitch in some mother nature hairdryer effect 🥲

Off topic - reminds me of Birmingham away a few seasons back. We arrive ten minutes late due to M problems but security wouldn't allows in ground. A~~holes!
