This work has been delayed to a later date, but why not use the delay to test logging in via your email? You can do it today as well as your screen name, but after the upgrade, it'll just be email address.

Over the weekend of the 11th and 12th of October we need to carry out some essential maintenance on the forum software and unfortunately there will be down time. This will last from midnight on the 10th of October till the work finishes on the morning of the 11th. If you use your handle or screen name to log in (StubbsUK in my case), the suppliers of the forum software have made a change that means you must use your email to log in from now on, rather than your screen name. We don't expect you'll need to log in after the upgrade, but just in case make sure you know what email address you used to register and make sure it's up to date. The forum will not be accessible during this time, but the front page with all our articles will be. If all goes well most people won't even notice, if it doesn't ... spare a thought for the poor admins trying to fix it.

Russell Martin has to be the latest member of the British Managers Lunch Club doesn't he? 😄

It's not really a resource we make the best use of, but that's probably because we're a bunch of old farts who don't have the time to produce a Youtube video for every pod (ask @Herbie6590 how long just the audio version takes) but also, we're old farts and don't have the time to understand what makes a good Youtube video 😄

As part of a wider array of events that would be ace, maybe a veterans game against them before a league game. I hope that's not all we get, because that would be dissapointing.

I don't know if being at the game gives you a more negative view, or if I'm just naturally harsh, but some of the scores in the BRFCS.com MOTM poll seem generous. https://www.brfcs.com/football/match/1386555/west-brom-blackburn You have till 3pm today (Sunday) if you want to add your votes.

I didn't think we made enough from matchday revenue & merch sales to cover wages? I don't have the accounts to hand but at one point they were > 100% of our income. To my mind it's being squandered on things like whatever % of loan players wages we pay, for which we get no return, 400k wages for a CEO, short term players like Wyman, Baath and letting players contracts run out and leave on a free.

It's gone to, in no particular order: HMRC Staff wages Electric company Water company etc The owners aren't doing a Blackpool and syphoning money from the club, there's none to syphon. That's not a defence of the owners, if anything it's saying they can't even do that right!

@Feed the Yak that's excellent!

Past or present, give us a Rovers player and who they look like ... I'll start ... There's got to be some better ones? 🙂

That is the most Scott thing ever 😄

Are you volunteering for Mr June?

I live in Sheffield, so see what he’s like first hand. This is a visual representation of his interactions… 🤣

The forum has the ability to let you ignore people you don’t want to see, I heartily recommend using it and your enjoyment of the board will improve!

It shouldn’t be forgotten that the reason the owners have conditions on sending money is because they broke the law, it’s a situation entirely of their own making.

I can categorically confirm we are NOT, repeat NOT doing a BRFCS calendar. There would be things you just couldn't unsee!

You don't win anything with kids 😉

Finding out by email because it was about to hit the press ... 😧

Maybe we should take a look at his other title?

We should just start calling the Riverside “The Tony Parkes Stand” even if the club won’t.

I deleted " ... oh wait" off the end when I wrote it 🙂
