Every credit. Rovers had to work hard for that and they did.

Edit: This may have come across as a pop at you den. It isn’t. Perhaps you meant to post it on the “The Plot Thickens” thread?

Thanks for that oldjamfan. I wasn’t aware it was on there.

Everyone will be behind you and your mum. I’m certain of that. Best wishes to you both roverandout..

JDT has been done over by the owners. That’s the bottom line. They just don’t understand the dangers of doing nothing.

 We have no presence in the area. None at all.

I keep reading that the score line flattered Leicester.

Im not sure about that. They weren’t four lucky goals were they? 
 

Like I said that was classic relegation football from rovers. Teams with leaky defences and no strikers always struggle.

Sound on, watch this……

The bottom line really is that the club is in completely the wrong hands.

Venkys, Waggott and Broughton should be nowhere near Ewood Park. None of them have anything in common with either the town or the club and none of them have any record of success. 
 

Why are they here?

I’ve not read any comments beyond what is on this one page.

That was relegation football.

Gate receipts probably, according to this, we are 3rd bottom in the division, ahead of only QPR and Rotherham

Closing the BBE and totally pissing fans off will do what to attendances?

I blame Jimmy Hill. He started all this.

aye i got the same ...virtual pa got a fully loaded capital response .

There are a number of factors to consider when creating the operational plan for a matchday and the decisions made are based on these. 

 

Initially we review what the anticipated attendance is going to be and then measure this against the financial cost of opening the entire stadium.

For the first round of the Carabao Cup; BRFC V Walsall, we attracted an attendance of just over 6,000 supporters. There were fewer than 2,000 supporters in the Blackburn End for this fixture, which is less than 50% capacity for the lower tier. Due to the make-up of the stadium, once the decision is made to open a stand, the staffing of that area remains the same whether the stand is at capacity or accommodating fewer than 500 supporters. 

 

For this week’s fixture, although we expect an attendance similar to that of the Walsall game, with just over 48 hours to go, we have sold just over 2,500 tickets. The Jack Walker Stand has a total capacity of 11,000 seats, which will adequately cater for the demand. We do appreciate that many of our long-standing supporters sit in the Blackburn End and would argue that this stand is affectionately referred to as the home end, but the Jack Walker Stand can be relied upon to accommodate all supporters with ease, provides a better backdrop for the broadcast footage and ultimately it will help us to manage costs at a time when all costs have to be carefully considered. 

 

I’m sure you can appreciate and understand why the Club has taken the relevant measures on this occasion. Of course, these decisions will be reviewed on a match-by-match basis should we progress further in the competition, as we hope to do.

 

 

 

Thanking you for your continued support.

That’s a very cold, business like reply. It just emphasises that he doesn’t understand Rovers fans - or probably fans of any club.

He might as well just have said “it saves money, tough”.

I don’t think Waggott or Blackburn Rovers and the fans have anything in common at all.

I never, ever thought I’d see a rovers first team playing in front of a closed BBE.

Jeez, if it’s not worth opening the BBE it’s not worth playing in the first place.

I wonder how Greg Broughtons feeling now?

A lot of good but so much fundamentally wrong with this squad.

Unbelievable 

We have no one with a goal scorers instinct

Sunderland will get a third here.

When we lose the ball in midfield we’re vulnerable.  Too many midfielders square or ahead of the ball. Works well when we have possession, but not good enough when we lose it.
