v Stoke City (h) - 4/10/25, k/o 12:30pm

It's windy and intermittent heavy rain... Not as wet as last weekend though imo. That was ridiculous. I'll have a walk to the river shortly and look. I think it'll be on atm

You are avoiding the question. If he only returned in April and played 5 games and did well, would that make it a good signing, according to your logic. The question is whether it makes sense to sign someone with a serious injury. Even if he is good, he misses a big chunk of the season.

Tavares is crap. And the cup game doesnt count for you judging Ismael so im not sure what the rules are there. TGH is average.

I have given you the answer to your question

Does anyone know if Ewood has a smart meter? 😂

There’s nothing smart down at Ewood these days.

Lifted my spirits pre match just now. Asked Alexa to play Supertramp “It’s Raining Again.”

You've just reminded me that as we were exiting the ground after the official announcement against Ipswich the Travis song, Why Does It Always Rain On Me was played over the PA system.

I would like to hear, “ It’s raining men “ as we have very few on the field and none off it .

[roverblue]

It’s horrific out this morning just been out with the dog. If I drag my ass all the way to ewood and they call it off during the match will be very annoyed.

[Elrovers]

Whoever’s going don’t. This weather is appalling. Just watch it in the comfort of your homes and when we lose it’ll be fine as you won’t have to drench yourself in the rain when walking back

[Bohinen1983]

River is pretty high.. rains not so bad locally atm though

Just messaged my daughter to see if she was going or if she's working. She's working, so decision made, heating on & watching it on TV on the warm. Balls to it. Not dragging my arse down there in this for another likely abandonment.

I'm in two minds at the moment, whats the river like at Ewood.

Last night it was much higher, half covering the outlet pipe on the far right of the second picture

They could do with a smart drainage system, at Ewood.😁

This great little dashboard chaddy found makes it look like we're well in the green river level wise. Publishes a measure every 15 mins.

We could do with its raining men in the dressing room, start winning at home.

Bit choppy for swimming in

[had.e.nuff]

I have a feeling that river watch is going to be more exciting than the match.

[G Somerset Rover]

Can Stoke do it on a wet and windy day in Blackburn?

Funny feeling they just might. 

[roverandout]

It's probably too late to call it off now anyway.  Stoke fans will have set off

[B16Rover]

Absolutely hilarious that our neglect has turned us into potamologists

Rain and wind makes it like a regular home game at the Bet365 for Stoke.
