I don’t want to but out of a misplaced sense of duty, I will be there to support the XI that turn out in blue and white shirts. I imagine it will be the lowest crowd for a league fixture for many years and the way it is going, I can’t see anything other than an Oxford win and another utterly miserable night for Blackburn Rovers supporters.

I am going too, I don't think it will rain... The lowest crowd for a league game, I have attended was against Cardiff ( I think) on may bank holiday last game of the season, around the  mid 80s, I think there was less than 4000 on! 

I cannot see anything but a loss tonight.. 

Venkys Out!

I would literally piss myself laughing if the pitch held up but the floodlights failed at about 75 minutes…. 😈

Flood lights is very apt here.

Sidney in the line up. Was hoping they meant Sweeney or the Opera House but unfortunately it's Tavares 

Two up front, one in the hole?

[RevidgeBlue]

Cantwell's "hyper-extended knee" must still be giving him gip then?

[Penwortham Blue]

Kevin Gallagher talking absolute crap again on Radio Lancashire, prattling on about it raining a lot and being next to a river. Of course, no one put him right that the Groundsman said nothing to do with the river in respect of the Ipswich fixture.

The ground is exactly where it’s always been.

Something else must’ve changed 🤔

[Hasta]

Baradji still not able to start.
 

Back after the international break? Be lucky if he starts before the World Cup at this rate.

[booth]

Sid = Keith Andrews minus the pointing 😫

No midfield. Seeing Miller long balling to Yuki in this weather is going to be fun.

[moerpho]

So…another one? Don’t really know what to expect but will be watching. That lineup does not fill me with confidence.

[Tom]

I’m not there but anticipating a very low crowd, just picked my daughter up from empire theatre and hardly any traffic and not much footfall 

[aletheia]

Cantwell on the bench. I'm still intrigued by the 50 game hypothesis.

Henriksson not perceived as good enough as Sidnei? Baradji not fully ready?

Have the bookies started giving odds on match being abandoned yet

[Angry_Pirate]

Stop me if you've heard this one before: There's no fucker here. 

 

Perhaps it is due to Venky's, the two postponements, or even the fact that we can sit here in December 2025 bemoaning the absence of Ryan Hedges and Adam Forshaw from our starting XI.

 

PATHETIC what these owners have done to this football club over the past 15 years.

I spoke with a GAIS fan on Sunday. Apparently Henriksson was in the away end with their fans for the last match of the season at Malmö. Apparently he’s pretty unhappy here because of how segregated the squad is. Everyone has their cliques: Yuki and Mori hang out together, the African lads, Axel and Sonny (presumably Andri too) - it’s not very integrated at all. So that little liaison officer lad is clearly earning his crust.

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

Ground empty.

We're now the laughing stock of the Championship with Oxford United now having a laugh at our expense.

This lot and Wrexham non league regulars when our owners turned up.

Oxford were non league regulars when the beat us 3-1 in the FA Cup when we were top division too.

He's not alone, I'm pretty unhappy that he's here as well.

[Blow-in]

Kind of hope this gets called off early so I can flip over to watch Inter beat Liverpool.

[Ferrit]

Tavares, that’s rancid.
