Do yourselves justice Rovers and go all out to win,the finish line has come into view. 16k ? I'll be delighted but amazed i'd have thought nearer 14.5 ish boosted by a decent number from Wigan.

AllRoverAsia Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Wigan are capable of winning all their games in hand. I am not saying they will but they could. Therefore a win against them tomorrow must be a priority, a draw a disappointment and a loss verging on disaster, as far as our being Champions is concerned but not 2nd place. A win by us will strike great concern in the Wigan and Shrew camps and should give our squad great belief in end of season success. Go to win TM.

garnersfags Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 No inside info. on the state of our pitch? Anyone in touch with the groundsman? If it's fit to play on now, I would suggest we'll be ok tomorrow as the very slow thaw commences.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaddyrovers Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 From Rovers twitter account Please note that, following the efforts of the staff at Ewood to ensure that the pitch is playable and surrounding areas safe, there are currently no concerns regarding tomorrow’s game. ? https://t.co/KLJMgOjVdl So can we all stop worrying whether the game will be on..

Vinjay Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Better make sure they don't forget to turn the undersoil heaters off. Anyone think if the police feel like having a day off they could come up with an excuse about the roads, etc? As for Wigan fans I've seen the figures touted. They wouldn't have to contemplate any weather issues, etc for travelling (not exactly far anyway its those from Midlands, Scotland, etc who may have second thoughts) if I was in charge because there wouldn't be any allocation. Granted the Football League probably wouldn't allow it but I would ban them simply to get back at that FUP endorsing old git hypocrite Whelan. Yeah OK that's an outrageous statement perhaps but if I was in any position to implement it that's exactly what would happen. I guess beyond banning him (if he's isn't in Barbados or someplace) they wouldn't allow it though. Would be worth it too trying to smear him in the eyes of any Rovers fans who mistook his Venkys comments as anything other than racism. I've heard unpleasant things about him as a businessman too certainly nothing that Jack would have been associated with. I also heard he broke his leg once can that be corroborated? Jack wasn't some big mouthed senile old fool. If he said something his words carried weight and that was enough. He obviously knew this hence his occasional public speeches (before Forest in 1999 for instance) but he didn't love the sound of his own voice like Whelan. The only reason the guy keeps his mouth shut now is because of his lesser day to day activities within the club. Not to mention others probably encourage him out of concern he won't be able to avoid making some other racial remark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definately off then. Good news indeed get up early, get coffee on and watch. Bad news is it seldom goes well when I get to see us, great to be so excited about an uocoming game again.

SIMON GARNERS 194 Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Dave Whelan said Venkys takeover of Rovers didn't feel right...that has proved to be 100% correct. There was NO racism involved Vinjay,your out of order and possibly out of your mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinjay Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 The initials FUP alone shouldn't require the need to elaborate any further. If you wish to have an enthusiastic discussion on the ameliorative effects of FUP go ahead. I won't waste my time getting involved in it. I'm not saying all detractors were being racist but for Whelan its not right if its not white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only because we’ve been steadily pulling away from Scunthorpe as a promotion rival and their loss today puts them right out of contention if Rovers have to battle for second place. The postponements add pressure for Shrewsbury and Rotherham. Though I feel automatic promotion has been looking more and more like a three horse race for a couple of weeks now.
