How could we possibly save money in the transfer window and stay up?

If we get another called off I'll be amazed if the EFL don't begin the punishments. It's an absolute farce and completely preventable. If the game goes ahead, Oxford have a bit of fight about them and we generally struggle with that. With the cancellation at the weekend an Oxford win will rope us in so this is a must-win for me. However, I doubt we will. Rovers 1-1 Oxford

Like that he's come out strong, but it has also given the perfect excuse not the reinforce the squad in January, which I fully expect them to take. Knowing them, they'll half-ass the pitch maintenance too.

Wolves are absolutely shocking. United aren't that much better but if this is how they're set for the season I don't think they'll even reach Derby's total. The United goal was also just awful from every single player's POV, on both teams.

Forecast has the rain starting to fizzle out then 40% chance and continuing to reduce further up to kick off. They'll probably call it off at 2pm and then by kick off it will be perfectly playable

I’ve travelled to India once and I’ve learnt a lot about the culture down there. They are really chilled and relaxed, for example if they’re working they would be on a phone call whilst doing their job, you will not get that here in England. It’ll be a straight sack. Another thing is they don’t give a toss about anything. Was at the train station, I would see people walking on the rail tracks to take a shortcut to somewhere and no one would stop them. If they were to die, no one would care either. Finally, they do anything for money. I have a house over there, I needed the sockets sorting out because my phone wouldn’t charge. Sorted out an electrician, came within an hour. Let’s be honest, in England it would take days for an electrician to come. They sorted out my issue within at least 30 minutes. It was late at night too and they still came. So any time they would come, especially if it was for money. That’s all they care about even if their life is at risk. So to conclude, venkys just see us as a business and don’t give a flying f**k about us. All these court case delays, they couldn’t care less, they’re probably chilled about it. It’ll be a long time for them to sell us unfortunately.

You'd have thought everyone from the Oxford end would be well on the way by then.

I cannot see it being on!

Yes...forgot that one!

It’s sweet he thinks there’s logic behind our lack of communication.

Pitch Inspection 2pm tomorrow.

Matlock Town

I remember those days, Willington, Altrincham, Kidderminster and Welling..

Decent first game to warm up to. 10th of Jan v Hull Away (Championship) 31st of Jan v Hull Home (Championship) So Hull game FA cup 3rd round 10th-11th Jan will be replaced.... with the Hull game lol

They already did that for the first two years so why not.

Agree with every word. Pretty much nailed how we all feel.

Town Centres up and down the country, Saturdays 2000’s

The silence befits this awful iteration of BRFC.

Quite glad we didnt get a prem club away, couldn't be doing with the club crowing about us playing some giant when we used to play and beat them regularly before this ownership turned up. Would have liked one of the non league ones away really.

Glad it's away. Could have been worse. Could have been a banana skin. Hull are a good side and we've already beaten them away in the league. Interesting.

Thread only started yesterday but 7 pages already, normally a game like this wouldn't get much pre-game chatter going. 7 pages, all talk about if the game will go ahead, pitch drainage, ownership incompetence and now the manager stepping out of line and probably signing his own P45. Rovers under Venky's, all the talk is about something other than the football.

This draw was probably on a small shortlist of "anyone but them" for fans of both clubs. Same as with Boro away last season. They'll have to make it a tenner all areas of the ground or no one will bother going.

Hoping for an away game, thats my only hope. We cannot afford for another game to be called off and given the weather in Jan, thats very likely if its at Ewood.

Boring tie. Might as well give us points for the game.

Oof this is the first time I've seen thr full quotes. Good on VI for speaking up, but this won't go down well at all with the club. Venky's mantra has always been toe the line or you are out. They banned the local newspaper for similar reasons.
