Sunday update from Nicko…we are supposedly making a profit on Gueye and we have money to spend on attackers. The issue seemingly is that we are reluctant to pay them.

Or this one at Stanley a few years ago

Yep, to go back to my 4 point breakdown of the remaining match going fans, there is still a sizeable number in 3), i.e benevolent owners who’d we be bust without.

If people choose not to boycott a single game with the Watford game, I doubt the same people would protest in the ground. For example turn their backs for 5 minutes, show red cards etc.. Any protest inside the ground will occur next to people who think it’s stupid / pointless and many people will naturally be less confrontational . Therefore an in ground protest as well on the 24th would be spun as “most people are happy”, as the majority who would take part won’t be in the ground. The other point is @Dreams of 1995 says “I am of the opinion that all supporters have the same opinion - that the Venkys have been nothing short of a disaster for Blackburn Rovers.”, but we have to accept he is wrong. Not on the opinion, which I agree with, but there is a significant portion of attending adults who do not think they are doing that bad a job. For the disallowed games, a group around me were laughing at the Venkys out chants, saying Venkys cant control the weather whilst being unaware of the lack of investment in the pitch. Those people don’t read sites like this or social media. They won’t be aware of Brockhall, FF minutes, payday loans from some guy in Bolton, court cases in India etc.. They just think they put the money in and the managers fail.

Leave it with me…

Am I right in thinking that this is audio only on the Rovers site today? no matter where in the world I may find myself later? Edit - apparently not, seems that viewers in Italy (not sure where else) will be able to stream it,

In in the same boat

Similar logic would keep you away from Ewood forever. Hull is a great place and worthy of a weekend visit if you like free museums, a vibrant music scene, decent restaurants and great pubs with good beer. Probably not this weekend though as it is cold, icy and horrible today.

Wasn't there a world cup match that a British ref blew-up for half time as one team scored from a corner ? It was a while ago.

What a.totally UN inspiring cup.tie.

We've got TNT with Virgin Media but it would appear to access Discovery + Id have to enter into a 12 month contract at £24.95 p.m. So that'll be a hard pass from me.

I can't understand why people are constantly talking as if "the boycott" is the be all and end all and only form of protest which will take place For the Watford game the planned form of protest is a boycott. I can't see anything whatsoever wrong with that at all. For the game after that I would hope the prescribed form of protest is something different and the same again for the one after that and so on and so on.

That's not half of the fanbase, it's a quarter at the most. The majority have washed their hands of this ridiculous charade many years ago.

I've always understood that you're not supposed to end a half whilst a team is actively engaged in an attack. Noticed how you never see a fulltime whistle blown when somebody is about to strike the ball? I don't know if it's a written rule or an unwritten one, but when I was a kid I was told it was a rule.

Clearly shouldn't have been played in this one. As I said before the game there is no way I would have done anything other than rested him. And it seems I was justified in that as he apparently played shit, and they lost anyway.

I'm feeling, glad all over.

We all know that nothing significant will happen to the pitch even in the summer. By significant I mean more than the annual essential relaying which happens at every club, every summer and will have already been budgeted for. I'm talking serious infrastructure replacement - Isn't going to happen no matter how 'unhappy' the owners are claimed to be. Pretty much everything there about and from Ismael could have been written in 2017 shortly after Mowbray came in. Literally nothing has changed from 'nice family bloke' being transparent with the fans, plans for the squad that won't be realised, project talk, jam tomorrow. It's a road to nowhere (or should I say League One). Ismael is but a small footnote in a decades long horror story, so I don't blame him for coming out with all this sort of stuff. Some of it may well be genuine. But we've seen and heard it all before, it won't last, it can't under this lot.

Isn't it? What is then?

Correct. Everything attached to them is indefinite.

Not the best examples to be honest as with exception of Exeter having the biggest day out of their lives the other are big/huge fanbase clubs who fill allocations most weeks. They could often take a lot more but don't get the tickets until cup rules allow. I think a look at home fan turnouts across the weekend will tell the real story and even then there are often big ticket discounts to take into consideration. I doubt there'll be 20k at Hull City tomorrow.

This is the problem for me, just how indefinite everything is. It's already been "a long time", you're talking as if it starts on Saturday. They won't be forced out, of that I'm certain.

As in not a long time.

How do you define short term?
