Only in cup games. League games you can charge what you like.

Basically if you are in debt (fines / finance agreements etc..) then they must take cash as it is legal tender. But as you are agreeing to a new transaction at the point of retail, the retailer can set certain terms of the sale. I.e card only.

I'm fairly sure the type of fans we need to attract to get bigger crowds at Ewood aren't travelling all over the country paying over £30 going to away games. That's pretty obvious isn't it?

We know how many 'usual' home fans we have from our fairly static home attendances. Local Derbys / bigger games are a chance to entice more people to come and watch football at Ewood who rarely come. That's why you get bigger crowds. Why would any of those floating potential supporters have 1875 memberships, which means you have to commit to at least 3 games just to break even? Where is the benefit of pricing these supporters out of the bigger games?

Exactly. I do hope some of our lot aren't off their heads enough by kick off to realise that there is a minutes silence for Remembrance Sunday.

What did your 57% possession do for you last Saturday? Or do they count picking the ball out of your own net as being in your possession? 😎

If that is correct, that's a goal attempt every 2 minutes. Basketball 🏀

I think the point we are making is next time Waggot says "we've done all we can". Or GB says "money was available" or "we tried but couldn't get the deals done" Or JDT says "I wasn't sure if Ayala was ready". Its not always true. Sometimes they tell white lies to the media. Saying "look at their quotes" doesn't prove anything.

Burnley make 11 changes for their cup tie tonight.

So what he says to the media isn’t what he really thinks or believes. Hmm. Some people would do well to remember that. Same applies to what Waggot and GB say as well.

Hmm. Good point. Well played. 😃

And the Dingles get so mad one of them runs on the pitch and punches a police woman

If we didn't get a bid of £10 to 15 million in the summer, we aren't getting one now with 6 months left on his contract. How much were the highest bids in the summer? £10 million? What was the point in turning that down in July. It was / is highly unlikely that the offers were going to increase in January as he comes to the end of his contract, so if they were prepared to accept that figure they would have dealt in the summer. JDT is sticking to his line and playing promotion down, but promotion is 100% the aim. Selling your main goal threat when you are sat so close to the top two with no necessity to sell would be criminal, and would inevitably lead to more fans walking away and thinking what's the point. If Venkys wouldn't let Rothwell go last year I really don't think they are going to let BB go. There's no circumstance unless the bid is £20mill+ (which is what we were supposedly looking for) I can see selling Brereton is a good idea unless it leads to promotion this year. There's no pressure from the player, who I actually believe wants to see what will happen this season.

I’d love it if we could do something really memorable for a local derby like crush them 5-0. Or even score a last minute, massively offside equaliser to break their hearts. Or blatantly dive to win a penalty to win the game. Or even for the last man to drag someone down on the half way line to prevent a certain defeat. Any of them will suffice. 😀

What he should be saying is "Brereton isn't for sale in January" Although if it was Waggot I'd be getting worried because there are more zero's at the end of £10million than £12 million.

Have to say I have a bad feeling. The way I currently see it is us just being camped in our half unable to get into their third of the pitch and losing possession. Hardly mustering a shot on target all game and being on the wrong end of 3 or 4 goals.

No I don’t. When we win like yesterday then it shouldn’t be an issue. But when we put in a stinking away performance like at Coventry it should be the first question on everybody’s lips.

Tella was up top. Benson was wide right.

Ok. So JDT IS wrong for not selecting Dack in those situations. Which is basically the point most of us are making. Our league position shows Dack shouldn’t be starting because the way JDT has us playing probably doesn’t suit Dack. And our league position is full credit to the manager. But the angst is coming from the fact when we need a goal he is getting ignored.

I’m just looking at the player ratings on the site, and if our two full backs were our best players I must have had a lot more to drink in the pub than I thought. In that second half, every time the left winger went at Brittain he got to the bye line and either won a corner or put a cross in. It was the centre halves and midfielders getting back in the centre and their good positioning that ended up nullifying that threat. Zaroury and Benson will go past those two for fun next week. It’s whether they can actually deliver a telling ball once they get to the bye line or cut inside.

When you consider that we have lost every game we have gone behind in, and in only 1 game have we even scored a goal when we have gone behind, then yes I think he is wrong for refusing to use Dack properly in those situations. Losing every game we concede first in, and failing to score in 7 out of 8 of them, surely backs that up. Or do you think JDT has made the correct decisions in the second half of those games we have been trailing in? (Wigan, Coventry, Luton etc..)

And Jason Lowe

I was just going to post the same thing. Unfortunately we tend to refuse to cross and pass it back and around. Any free kick in their half should be put into their box, especially with Ayala and Wharton on the pitch.

And also for the winner the two defenders who appealed for a throw, and when they didn’t get it they went to argue with the Lino and left Benson free on the touchline for the quick throw. Schoolboy stuff.

Other than that, Norwich and QPR drew which was a positive.
