I'll take on Villa.

A classic. This is an excellent game.

I agree entirely. I sat for years in the BE upper, and the faces generally remained the same. It created a better atmosphere having a fuller home end. I didn’t want to sit in the JW lower. They just don’t get it. No need in my opinion to shut the DE to home fans. There could quite clearly be a designated lower tier area set aside.

Stuart, we were kicked out of the BE upper. Nether I nor Gumboots, and I suspect many others were pleased.

So my point stands, why close the DE to home fans and not open up the full Blackburn End? When the likes of the idiots from Leeds turn up in droves, we have a third of our "home end" closed. It's cheaper than the JW, and I loved my ST view from the front row, where I had sat for years. The club is still detached from the fans.

Excellent stuff!

In my view the club has missed a trick. They probably came up with this prior to knowing the groundswell of support for tomorrow's game. Why not the same early bird price of last year? Rewards the fans who bought ST's last year, and encourages those like me to come back. I think a fifty quid hike has missed the point. Whatever happens tomorrow, I don't believe there will be a significant increase in ST sales. That and high match day prices will not put bums on seats. Pity. Oh, and my preferred seat would be back in the BE upper, which, despite closing the DE to home supporters, remains closed. The lack of consultation, as they didn't do when moving the family stand (that together with Coyle's appointment did for me) is appalling.

We will win all three group games, sail through the quarters and semis, then Trump will intervene and let Russia win. He likes Putin, and hasn't realised the good ol US haven't qualified.

The moment Sam went, and the dark lord was "promoted" it sent shivers down my spine. They remain to this day. I love the club, it runs through my veins, has done for 40 years. I will come back when they have gone.

Continuation of how to ruin a well run club. Fantastic effort, and yet worse was still to come. I was still going to a lot of the games, Wigan for example. What an absolute litany of tripe from the corrupt, bent, not fit for purpose, add your own entry, mighty drunken, lying, so called manager. If I've gone too far, he an sue me, I've got nowt, but then fair comment is not against the law and he bled our club dry.

I know, but for you to document the demise chronologically wants to make me weep at how the Loons are still pulling the strings. The writing was on the wall all those years ago. Just when you think it can't get worse, they defy the odds!

If all of the above had happened over a season, it would make depressing reading, but for it to cover just pre-season and the first three games it shows how the dark forces worked. To re-read the absolute guff spouted by the cretinous, freeloading, talentless t'*t makes it even more catastrophic. Well done DE. for telling the tale. A book it should be.....the facts need wider scrutiny.

I think I needed time to let it sink in. Not the choice of a "normal" club as there were far better choices out there, unemployed but hard and would keep us up? But we are not a normal club any more. We are massively damaged goods. Damaged, as we all know, by inept owners, greedy agents and now rich chancers. No leadership, no nouse, no class. That's where we are. So we have got someone who isn't the ex-dingle, useless manager we didn't want. Only time will tell whether he can motivate what he has been left. Good luck to him. I hope he keeps us up. If so, they need to reward him with funds to go forward. It won't happen, as we are owned by no marks who don't deserve to be anywhere near our proud club. He's a dead man walking till the loons leave.

I could have me & my sons seats back! For one night only. The loons will want a booking fee! I'm boycotting The John!

Tickets in Leeds start at £57, up to about £100, so he'll need to bring a few, unless the scum are subsidising the poor people of Blackburn. Strange choice for him. Biggest crowd potentially for ages.....

It would be if they f*cked off on the 9th?

It happened as we are the brother's play thing, that takes less precidence than losing £100,000,000!!! If you have it flush it!

AC/DC, highway to hell?

Why do even discuss it, they are a shower of s*it!

Shoot, is it extra time pens if it stays the same?

Absolutely rather watch Stanley than Liverpool!

Sad passing, and too young, shocked to hear it.

Something needs to change, but who, how?

Absobloodylutely!

I didn't see the first leg at Ewood, but tonight the better team won. I've no problem saying that, but watched it all and was proud that we took an older and more experienced side right to the wire. Some very fetching performances, and this team will hopefully grow. Wish the Loons had been at this game rather than Saturday?
