v Wrexham (h) - 1/1/26, 12:30pm k/o

They simply don't want people turning up for these games there cannot be any other explanation for the idiotic prices.

Knackered, depleted squad and a toothless attack: a draw is the best we can hope for

Let’s be realistic. Rovers 0 Wrexham 2

We nearly and would have deservedly won at their place not that long ago.

Yes, and with a scratch squad of misfits and ne'er do wells too. Sadly and almost unbelievably, we have contrived to further weaken the available options for Thursday since the Racecourse heroics. It is almost as if the plan was to give Rovers fans some hope that a rabbit might be pulled from the dodgy hat, only for us to find that the rabbit fell out of the magician's bag, there is nothing else to pull out to complete the illusion and we are left now with a magic show bereft of magic and sorely lacking in entertainment value. 

Who could have thought it?

Unless, of course, you are prone to those odd conspiracy theories that bedevil modern life, the ones that dare to suggest that the thinning out / 'leaning' of the squad and lack of any back up plan is another insult from the toady bastards sitting in their chicken shit palaces in Pune, aided and abetted by the short-trousered and shadow-dancing goons left locally to play their games on the life support mechanisms rotting away at Ewood Park. 

Naahh. That couldn't possibly be anything to do with it...

VENKYS OUT!

They haven't wanted fans to be here since they took over, no matter how much they preach.

They all would snap your hands off for everything to be behind closed doors again.

Those cardboard cutouts in the stand were much more Yasir’s kind of fan.

Imagine being in a world where i just cant imagine us getting anything at home against a side that was in non league just over 2 years ago.

We can't attack, so if we score it will be lucky at best. They will almost definitely throw the kitchen sink at us knowing how weak we are at yhe end of games.

1-1 (optimistic)

So let's catch them on the break, if they throw the kitchen sink at us.

That team we finished the game with on Monday isn't catching anyone on the break.

Slowest side we have had in many a year, and thats saying something.

Presumably the relatively popular 'pie and peas' or 'breakfast bap' options in Jacks Kitchen will have been ditched for this one to make way for a £150 sit down meal for the Category A fixture.

Suspect there might be some backtracking on that one as the brains trust realise that on New Year's Day morning there won't be queues of people down Bolton Road wanting to watch Rovers v Wrexham and hand over best part of £200 for a ticket and something to eat. Especially not when they can stay at home and watch it for nothing on Sky.

Still that extra £10-15 pocketed x 1500-2000 adults from Wrexham makes it all worthwhile whilst ensuring the home ends are empty.

£35 to sit on the BBE. Total madness.

Jack's kitchen was originally £220 for this game...but on sunday my plans changed and we're going to come over for this

I looked and jk was back at £18.75....i was half cut so decided to wait until monday to book tickets

 

They'd taken all hospitality off sale monday morning for some reason
