With @Upside Down ‘s suggestion and pricing I would still get a season ticket over membership, but it’s a good idea to try and appeal to fans who can’t make every game. But if the season tickets or buying individually worked out the same price to attend all games, just the £50 membership option to pay on top, I would absolutely go down the membership route. You’d only have to miss 3 games to make it worthwhile. The problem then is the attendances for midweek games and games like Hull on a Saturday night would be pretty low, and if our season was done by March you would have some shocking home attendances. I drag myself down to some games (especially mid week) in the knowledge I have technically ‘bought’ it through my season ticket. I simply wouldn’t go if I hadn’t paid for them. It would be better for us fans, but Im sure Rovers would ultimately lose out. Plus instead of guaranteed money upfront, the income they receive is uncertain and spread throughout the year. For the club a season ticket is still the safest way forward, it’s just simply too expensive at Ewood.

I know this isn’t what he’s doing, but it almost sounds with Tyler now like he’s expecting VAR. It’s like VAR has killed the moment for him. For one of the Brighton goals I looked up after it had gone in and with the way he reacted I just presume he knew it was offside and VAR would rule it out.

Not on a Friday night in November on Sky they won’t.

Waggot will be wincing at the reduction in turnover he can fleece from away followings. We’ve lost Burnley, Sheff U, Wigan and Blackpool and so far the confirmed replacements are Southampton, Plymouth and Ipswich. Matchday prices will need to rise to get that back on budget.

I think one win will be enough for them, although that dent in their goal difference today means that if Leeds got to 35 point they would be lever with Everton but now would probably be ahead on goal diff.

The riverside is a shed with significantly inferior facilities to the other stands. Make the Riverside £290, and match day prices of £18 regardless of opposition. Id guess practically all of the season ticket holders in the JW and BBE wouldn’t move and would be happy with the £50 early bird discount, but suddenly there isn’t an argument that we are uncompetitive against our neighbours or do not offer an entry level price.

That takes brain power.

If he had done any research on our local competitors pricing at all he would know that Burnley’s prices start from £335, and they knew they were in the Premier league months ago. So clearly he should know we would not be THE cheapest in the premier league.

And missed 1 game. If Undav had left discussions at Ewood excited to be a regular starter at the top end of the Championship for a club he was impressed with, I'm not sure that that makes a whole lot of difference.

Undav must have been intereted in the first place to ultimately "change his mind". They obviously didnt sell the club to him. Once he was 'in the door' with some interest in moving to Ewood, it is up to GB to convince them it is the right move. Failed.

The boos for passing it about at the back were earlier in the season when we over did it massively and cost us goals. For the second half of the season we actually started to hit it forward more direct when required, especially if we were under pressure.

Why don't our under-21's feature in the Papa Johns trophy. They would be eligible I presume, and I know we did enter it one year. You'd hope it would be based on finishing position in the Premier League 2 the year before but it looks like it has been only actual Prem clubs for the last few seasons. Is it that only 16 places are available and Premier League clubs get first dibs at it? Or do we simply elect not to enter it? Not saying it's a good idea. Just curious as to why we aren't in it.

He does shout for it, why is he coming out to (I presume) head a ball clear 30 yards from his goal when the striker is nowhere near it and a recognised outfield defender is right under it. It was a bad decision by Pears. Pickering was probably, in that split second, confused as to why the keeper was shouting for a ball when he expected him to be 15 yards further back in his own area. The blame is pretty even between both for me. Pears did a far better job than I expected and certainly didn't let us down. But over the course of a season I just think Kaminsky is better.

But when she used it at the turnstile? Trust me it happens. Same as people watching the games online for free.

Luton hopefully. Although I really don’t care out of that lot, even if it’s Sunderland. Some weird bitterness around at the minute.

So do we.

We will have had far more walk ons than Preston probably due to performance. But (and I know I sound like a Preston fan) you have to remember they started slowly, didn’t score any goals for 3 months and never really were anything other than mid-table. If you swap seasons they would have averaged much higher that us purely due to the original number of ST sold.

Depends what he is referring to. Should we have kept Mowbray on? No Way. But after 5 years, to then let his contract run down without actually telling him one way or another what is going on long term is pretty shitty (albeit not unexpected here). Of course, we may have told him we were not renewing and he was just playing "hard done by" in the media.

He could play in the 2 in midfield as we currently have it. He'd have more bite and physical presence than Morton, Wharton or Buckley have had playing there. And think how many times we saw Travis in a dangerous position on the edge of the box only for him to turn round and do nothing with it. If that was JRC keep popping up there we'd be pretty dangerous.

Or, as unlikely as it is because we know of many that haven't, it could be the same 9,300 have renewed but 1600 have moved seat. As you say, it only becomes clear once the deadline for moving seat is lifted.

Yes that's true. Early season I was going into work on a Monday forever telling the supporters of other clubs that we had won but didn't play that well and were once again a bit lucky. I remember chatting to a supplier from Birmingham after the Birmingham game at Ewood saying we were pinned back and hanging on and lucky to escape with the 3 points. There were a few of games like that. Whereas recently Huddersfield, Coventry, Preston we definitely deserved the 3 points based on our performance but the early season fortune had forsaken us. I knew walking back to the station at Preston that what I had witnessed was the moment it had slipped. I couldn't see 6 points from the remaining 3 games and that's exactly how it panned out.

On EE I'm fine once I'm in my seat, but get nothing on the concourse. My mate is on either O2 or Vodafone and he gets nothing kick off to after full time.

To be fair I felt we got what we deserved at both Luton and Coventry. We only had 3 shots on target across both games. They were two of those early seasons games where we had a load of possession around our own penalty box, got caught out a few times and failed to really create much going forward. Fortunately we cut those kind of performances out in the second half of the season. As for Boro at Ewood, they had already equalised before Buckley bounced the ball off their guys bonnet. I remember because they scored that quickly in the second half I hadn't got back up to my seat. Agree with the wider point though. Had we snuck in there I wouldn't be partcilaulry fearful of any.

Blackburn Rovers must give talented head coach & squad what they need | Lancashire Telegraph Firs thing I've learnt from that is that Rich Sharpe thinks 10 years is 'a generation'.

Look, I'm delighted we won not just for ourselves but for all you lot that went down there. It's just my feeling watching it was that it was all a bit of after the Lord Mayors show. In the last couple of months we've just dropped in a hole whilst it has been entirely in our own hands. Forgive me for thinking that suddenly scoring a load of goals and Brereton miraculously returning to form once it is out of our hands doesn't really show bottle. It more tells me that we lacked it when we needed it. Still, they are a very young squad and they will certainly learn from the experience.
