Cheers Tony and for everyone else’s messages.

Tomorrow will probably be the toughest day of my life, so the messages and out pouring will help.

Not being local I hadn't heard this awful news, and I'm so sorry to learn about it.

With you fella, all the very best.

Tomorrow the funeral take place on my late Stepson Luke Harden, who sadly last his life in tragic circumstances, in the early hours of 01/11/2025.

Although, not a huge football fan, or a Rovers fan, the first outing I had with Luke, was to a Rovers match on Boxing day 2003 having met his Mum and my future wife a few weeks earlier.

Luke is seen up and down the country, at football grounds, as he was a model and amongst other things, he modelled Marc Darcy Suits, who have an association with WBA and Leicester City, amongst others.

It would give me and my family (a few Rovers fans amongst us) great comfort, if a round of applause could be arranged on the 37th minute, to mark his age when he passed.

Living in Spain, I watch most of the Rovers matches on Rovers TV as I pay the overseas subscription, but will not be either watching on TV or at the ground tomorrow, as the funeral and wake, will go on later into the evening.

I will watch the match back, at a later date and would really appreciate any little tribute to him if that is possible.

Hopefully we will win the game and I can raise a glass to Luke and a Rovers Victory.

RIP Luke, you are sadly missed.

We are playing Ipswich so the weather forecast is a month of rain in the next 24 hours...

Followed by pestilence, plague and fire, it never ends!

Though the Sky guide for Sky Sports + isn’t listing it, but then there is a PL game on there, so yeah, presumably red button.

Just read Carl’s post and had to comment to let him know that my thoughts are with his family in what must be the most horrific of times.

It would appear that Ipswich are planning on rain related chants according to their forum lmao 

Some replies...

WE'RE NOT SCARED OF RAIN, WE'RE NOT SCARED OF RAAAAIN 

WE'RE BLACKBURN ROVERS 

WE'RE NOT SCARED OF RAIN!

I don't think I've ever been as sure of a result as I am tonight.

Rovers 1 Ipswich 2

The relegation thread will be lively after tonight.

[roverblue]

This feels like a guaranteed loss after we had them well beat at Ewood months back and down to 10 men with 10mins left.

I said I wouldn't go on principle but have been promised a pie and pint so against my better judgment will attend.

Sunshine and Blue Sky's over Ewood...lets hope that transmits to the field of play FFS!!
