I have read that we sold closed to 11.5k tickets for this game so expecting around 12.5 k Rovers fans on today.

Just thinking that myself, still a lot of places no water this morning including Ewood area.

Just been on United Utilities website and there is 2 problems in the area. One problem has been sorted and the other one reported last night is being investigated right now

United Utilities - Up my street

[Mattyblue]

So another 4K buying match tickets and a c15k crowd.

About double the number that ‘walked up’ when we played WBA last August. (11,900 crowd).

According to lancs live Scott Wharton is a big doubt for todays game with a calf strain.

I wouldnt trust that. They said the BB2 problem was sorted yesterday afternoon then changed it  to say still ongoing. They’ve been at it almost 24 hours now.

We’ve had no or little water since 10am here.

Its back on at gather moment but they are using water tankers to top up the supply and that runs out fairly quickly. As they topped it up overnight, that will run out quickly when everyone realises they can top up their kettles / have a shower / water their garden.

UU need to get their finger out or the game could be in doubt.

Bloke sat next to me on Wednesday said he thought he was limping back out of the tunnel to take his seat at half time.

Water being provided from tankers though? 12k people rocking up at Ewood and that supply will not suffice I don’t think

Winning games, playing good football and new head coach who speaks positive and upbeat about Rovers

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

There are Tankers outside Tesco Feniscowles and Darwen Vale school this morning,that's a very large area to cover.I'm sure the Club will keep us updated.

Good news the stadium is unaffected 

I’m up on green hills off Livesey branch road and most people here had nothing for 24 hours now 

[Hasta]

Good news.

Maybe that overflow into the river Darwen flows both ways .

[jim mk2]

Scott Wharton will be a big miss today if he's out injured. Another reason why we need to bring in more players - and soon.

Turns out starting the season with  only two senior centre halves was a mistake, who’d have thought it?

I don’t disagree however difficult to call it a mistake yet. Phillips might really step up and prove he capable of handling this level. 

[Bohinen1983]

I live outside Ewood Park. Water has been fine for us. 

[jim mk2]

Allowing Lenihan to leave without a replacement for him or Van Hecke was always risky. Chickens have a habit of coming home to roost. Venky's should know that

I’d have thought the last thing Tomasson would want to do today is throw a 17 year old in for his proper debut!

Sometimes being thrown into the deep end is the best opportunity…I think he will step up and I would certainly have Phillips instead of Pickering at CB. 
 

Height is important.
