This 150th game is the regime's opportunity to paint an image of normality to the world. They'll be expecting a bumper crowd of people to turn up for the 'special' occasion, probably stick some Rovers 'legends' on the pitch before the game, wear a special shirt. This will all make them look and feel legitimate.

I agree the best, probably only way, for supporters to send a message to them and the watching people on Sky, is to not turn up for it. I also appreciate that is everyone's own choice and might not be acceptable to some. 

So ultimately we will get a half-way house. We won't get a total boycott of the game or a ridiculously low crowd, but the ground will be more than half empty, which tells a story in itself for what should be a significant occasion in our history.

Personally even ignoring the 150th stuff the ignominy and humiliation of sitting there as our former manager, captain and half our side turn up for Derby, and imbeciles around me in the stands booing/blaming them for our demise, is enough to ensure I stay well away from Ewood, as I genuinely would not be able to go and sit there without either falling out with someone or walking out in disgust.

Yes .. I will be boycotting too !

I felt the disgust  at Derby , fans with snakes chanting at Eustace whilst the 3 real crooks were sat in the main stand , laughing at them . 

Suhail and Gestede should reap the world wind in every game ,we play at home or away !

Waggott even chatted to fans on one of the service areas ,I believe .

Forget about one off boycotts and all that, won’t happen here.

What will happen is gates will continue to drop year on year as we fall down the leagues. Thats your protest right there - but this lot do not care one iota. They’ll just shut the ‘unviable’ academy, the ‘not fit for purpose’ training ground, the ‘surplus’ Riverside and on and on.

Absolutely…death of a thousand cuts, boiling frog…incremental decline.

No chance will the Derby game be a bumper crowd aside from the thousands they bring to boost it.

Live tv game ?  Cat A due to expected away following = 12 k home fans with probably less actually inside the ground.

It'll fall flat on it's face and the nation will laugh.

On the flip side, could be an opportunity to get some eyes on our situation, as the nation will be watching.

The Derby game is category A pricing for match tickets and Platinum in hospitality.

They must be expecting a good attendance 🤔

 ‘Birthday Boycott’ has a nice ring to it.

That's how clueless they are.

Although i suppose a big turnout from Derby is all that's on their minds ££££

Best one that happened here was the 1875 thing where left the stands on 75 mins that certainly got the attention.
