It’s a perfect opportunity now that this has hit the headline with the waterlogged pitch. Everyone takes a small rubber duck into the ground and throws them onto the pitch.

I don’t think he would do it for one minute, but imagine him resigning and claiming for constructive dismissal, on the basis that the club, can’t provide the tools for him to do the job (knackered drains) so he can’t work under these circumstances any longer.

It’s always someone else’s fault, so who do they blame this time? What are the odds on this happening again this season and next time, if we are losing instead of winning, are the team on the receiving end, going to just accept their lot?

Okay, I will give you a scenario, hypothetical granted, but not beyond all realms of possibility. Let’s choose Middlesbrough as an example. They are leading 0-2 and the same happens again, so due to our lack of investment on our pitch, the match gets abandoned and a replay is ordered that we go on to win, costing them 3 points, which in turn, costs them a place in the premier league. Do you think they should just shrug their shoulders and sit back and count the cost, of them missing out on the premier league?

I honestly do not believe talk of further punishment is daft. It’s the clubs fault alone this, so why should they get away with it?

It will be someone else’s fault. Blame the fans, blame God, but never a hands up and an apology for getting things badly wrong.

If the EFL have anything about them, they will force Rovers to refund home and away fans the ticket price, travel costs and any other out of pocket expenses. To ignore this and allow the club to get away Scot free is not good enough.

I know it’s my own club, but a points deduction is needed here. Professional tier two club who can’t provide a suitable pitch, need to be made an example of. I only hope this leaves the owners with the embarrassment for the cost cutting.

Cheers Tony and for everyone else’s messages. Tomorrow will probably be the toughest day of my life, so the messages and out pouring will help.

Hi Josh. I didn’t know you knew Luke, but it’s amazing who does. The tributes have been overwhelming. Hope the applause can be heard for him at Ewood tomorrow

Thanks mate. Your words mean a lot.

Tomorrow the funeral take place on my late Stepson Luke Harden, who sadly last his life in tragic circumstances, in the early hours of 01/11/2025. Although, not a huge football fan, or a Rovers fan, the first outing I had with Luke, was to a Rovers match on Boxing day 2003 having met his Mum and my future wife a few weeks earlier. Luke is seen up and down the country, at football grounds, as he was a model and amongst other things, he modelled Marc Darcy Suits, who have an association with WBA and Leicester City, amongst others. It would give me and my family (a few Rovers fans amongst us) great comfort, if a round of applause could be arranged on the 37th minute, to mark his age when he passed. Living in Spain, I watch most of the Rovers matches on Rovers TV as I pay the overseas subscription, but will not be either watching on TV or at the ground tomorrow, as the funeral and wake, will go on later into the evening. I will watch the match back, at a later date and would really appreciate any little tribute to him if that is possible. Hopefully we will win the game and I can raise a glass to Luke and a Rovers Victory. RIP Luke, you are sadly missed. https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/news/25604410.trial-date-set-pair-accused-murdering-luke-harden/ https://www.instagram.com/p/DQl0Qc8lU4L/?hl=en-gb

Rovers TV if you are abroad. Very Possible Nipping abroad and buying a match day pass will work.

Bolton has almost double the population of Blackburn.

If you do bring a friend, don’t be surprised if it’s an ex-friend after 90 minutes.

I noticed the Liverpool fans were howling last night, at a packed Angield.

No way can anyone blame the fans for either not turning up, or not creating an atmosphere, after all we have witnessed. That last night was shocking and I fear it will not get better and just hope we can carry on getting some points on the board away from home. Ismael is a dud and as already pointed out, his home record alone, is cause for him to be sacked and if the results performances and other off the field activities do not change and quickly, this will end in disaster. To sum things up for anyone who wants to have a go about attendances, where have the owners been over the last 10 years and given that not a single one of them turned up for the centenary game, that says it all, as if they can't be arsed, what else can anyone expect.

Cheers Tony.

It’s been a very tough 3 weeks for me and my family, having lost a close family member, taken way too soon. I haven’t been able to bring myself to post on here or watch the games, until last night, but this brought a smile to my face for the first time since. Thanks Rovers and RIP Luke. Xx

It was exciting though, as we got a few sunny days, in a row.

That's correct. I don't know who was in attendance from the club, but assume Suhail and Gestede were there and if their recent shenanigans are anything to go by, I suspect it won't have been a a good reflection. I don't think either of them are prepared to accept any criticism at all and consider their actions and performance to be of a good standard,

I have been told the minutes are being disputed again, so perhaps an attendee can confirm? Coming back to my point about the meetings being a cosy up with the club, perhaps on reflection that’s a bit harsh. If an accurate version of the minutes cannot be released though, in favour of a version that suits the club, what’s the point and what do the fans forum intend to do about it?

I did post a negative comment on hereabout the meeting, being a cosy affair and was not worth having if this was the case, but was told, it was anything but. Hopefully, the person who wrote the minutes, can post them soon, as I have this feeling that if it was not a cosy affair and people were taken to task again, the club will not allow them to be released, without alteration. The last one, as most on here know, resulted in 3 versions being written with the version that the club were happy with being released, but the uncut and seemingly accurate version, being posted on here and on social media. Let's hope accurate minute are accepted and the powers that be, can accept some perfectly valid criticism.

It depends on what he knows and I suspect that will be plenty.
