Because there is no justification for it other that to squeeze extra money off the fans. Why do prices have to go up after 12pm on a match day. Why not go up on the day of the game? Why not go up if you don't buy them over a week in advance? What's different about 11.58am and 12.02pm on a Saturday? Why don't they put replica shirts and other merchandise up £3 on match days as well. They can be bought in advance.

As MattyBlue has stated, compared to previous FA Cup games under Venkys, of course it has worked. We got more home fans on for a midweek FA Cup tie than we do for league games, despite the fact that Newcastle are not really a big attraction. Does anyone see any logic whatsoever in doubling the admission cost from 5pm? Why not just charge the usual stupid matchday surcharge rather than doubling the cost.

Come the end of the season if he is still doing OK then just offer him a one year extension on the contract we want to offer. If he accepts then fine, if he moves on so be it. Judging by the reaction of people on social media to him in the Netflix documentary (which I haven't seen), he isn't going to be popular wherever he goes. That alone might limit his options.

And if we get 10,000 home fans on midweek it will have done its job in that competition. Recently against Premier league teams we've had 5900 V Swansea for a 3rd round tie and only 13,934 against Stoke for a 5th round tie with 5000 Stoke fans. I don't even want to look up the Millwall QF attendance.

I see we play Bolton 3 games from the end of the season at Ewood. That has great comedy potential.

It was one of the worst games I’ve seen in a long time. It was a terrible game of football, I'm glad I didn't have to pay to watch that. We ended up nullifying their threats but forgot to play ourselves.

Big Dom and Ben will be getting jealous.

Silly, silly free kick to give away by Nuttall with that lump now going up.

We're not losing. They look just as bad. DG is on. I've just ordered a take away. After that I'm struggling a bit.

Hopefully. Two pegs back in the right shaped holes.

Did someone not cut inside from the left and absolutely pea-roll one at the keeper.

When Nyambe is fit, the answer to the Bell or Williams debate is probably Bennett.

Well I've done my bit. I've got a party of 10 going with me next Tuesday, only 2 of which are ST holders and 3 have never been to Ewood before. If it was £20 there would be 3 of us max.

On reflection, it was a good result away at Newcastle. It's just frustrating to be the better side and yet lose a lead again through our own making. It's worth remembering that Joselu and Kenedy alone moved for almost £12million between them in their last transfers. They may have made changes but they weren't putting all their youth side in. Travis is proving.to be a diamond in midfield. I thought the whole team closed down better than we were doing last month. Same again in the replay and we have a cracking chance of going through to a next round which will feature Burnley, Bolton, Stanley and maybe Preston in the draw as well as all the big guns. Hope Rovers keep the prices sensible for the replay.

This old chestnut again. Can you name us the last 2 seasons scapegoats then please? Ben gets questioned because he doesn't do very much in a Rovers shirt.

The problem with the penalty is the guy takes another stride before he goes down. Compare that to the incident in the first half when the guy barges Armstrong out the way to let the ball go out for a goal kick. If that happens on the halfway line it's a free kIck straight away.

VAR will solve everything. No, it just makes the injustice even worse.

I bet you can't watch it. ?

Yes

Great hilarity at Burnley as they get a penalty (which it wasnt) but then as the guy is running up to take it the ref blows and ungives the penalty as VAR over-ruled it for offside (which it wasnt).

Bet365 are legally streaming all of the 12.30pm kick offs in the FA Cup today in the UK. Therefore I would imagine the Rovers game will also be streamed.

Bauer has played 18 games this season so that's not true in his case.

He's been fit since November and playing well apparently. Prising him away now Charlton have move into the top 6 will be difficult.

Shows how people see things differently. In the first half I thought Bell was shocking. He got beat practically every time. Travis was excellent and, as everyone says, it would be criminal if he lost his place after that. Bennet was shaky, especially the last 30 minutes, but his defensive header from within the 6 yard box in the first half was a cracking clearance. Armstrong was very good but mainly down to his pace. You know within the first 10 minutes If he is going to play well or not depending on whether he goes past the full back early. As good as Reed was, he's not a wide. An and his crossing was poor. Stupid penalty to give away by Dack but loved hIs finish. As we look to be neither going up or down, full strength side at Newcastle please Tony.
