Sadly I don't think your far off their and the reason I voted go. That's exactly how I see next season going without the good start we had this season

When do the Burnley tickets go on sale and is there a season ticket/1875 first phase. Do people think it will sell out . I wonder how they are going to segregate fans ?

My name's not Gregg either. There is another clue in their somewhere ?

I've just paid 34 pound for me and my 5 yr old daughter who has no interest in football to watch the Bolton game, that's before waggott tax because I did it online. If I had to pay that Everytime I went (as I normally go alone and sit in bburn end) there is no way I could afford to go regularly. I feel for families with partners and a few kids who want to go. I've just paid less than that to go and watch one of the greatest , if not THE greatest games of football I have ever seen in a champions league quarter final. Attendances will always be poor and will get worse when more attractive football at cheaper prices is on offer elsewhere. People can say it devalues the product all they want . It won't fill the stadium or boost attendances until people at ewood get more creative with pricing strategies it's as simple as that. Starting with the waggott tax and offers for families

Buckley for me, is technically ready for first team football and can read a game far better than Evans and Smallwood can

Form we are in we should hammer this lot. Looking forward to it already

Summer Transfer Window 2019
Oldgregg86 replied to Neal's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
If Charlton go up he might sign a new contract. Charlton fought tooth and nail to keep him to the point the risked loosing him on a free so he must have something -

Out of interest who would you say was the better and how close where they in talent. Is anyone going to come on and say he was better than shearer out of interest . The fact this is even being mentioned means he was some player -

If we are signing a keeper we should be going for a number 1. Raya is young and can learn. If he is as good as people think and has the potential he will get his shirt back -
For me yes because his tactics and player selection along with his baffling comments and suspect transfer policy/use of funds means he would still kill momentum and stifle progress ultimately leading to the same questions and doubts that haunt him now, regardless of when we won and lost

he wasn't better than shearer and I can say that confidently without ever seeing so much as a picture of fred pickering -
If he's out of contract then no but I wouldn't be against seeing what Fisher could do at home to Bolton or swansea
-
God knows. He doesnt learn and changes nothing, then when he does and the results come you think finally something has clicked, then the post match comments show he has learned nothing. Although today in his defense he didn't do what I thought he would and revert to type as he so often has . However the pressure is off now so even if he keeps it up and we win every game until the end of the season, when it matters will he be brave enough to carry on in this manner or are we back to nine wounded soldiers an ageing artist and a piss artist. It makes it more infuriating when he gets it right because you know what's round the corner yet the eternal blue and white optimism ( that diminishes weekly) says this time he must see what we see and a corner has been turned. He isn't going anywhere anyway so may as well enjoy the waltzer tony likes us all to ride

Dingles win 2-0 against Cardiff so that's them safe. Sunderland 4 Coventry 5 what a game that must of been. Meanwhile we are mathematically safe

ROVERS V Frank Lampards DCFC
Oldgregg86 replied to blueboy3333's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
I've no doubt he will end up keeping Chapman out the team next season and probably restrict rothwell to knowing mowbray. Samuel isn't good enough or needed but I agree with you that he will be used , more than likely on the right -

Shame he doesn't have the first touch. At 24 I don't think he's going to suddenly develop immaculate ball control which the Davies/Graham roll requires. He really is a league 1 at best player. -

Obviously a bigger budgets helps but that isn't the main concern for me. We spent ten million and we are not much better off as a team. There a bargains and frees to be had everywhere if you have the right knowledge and scouting systems in place. My main concern is the manager capable of picking a formation that works best for the players we have and can he highlight the right areas of weakness and bring in better than what we have. Will he be ruthless enough to risk upsetting players who have served him well to push this team to the next level either by selling, loaning, releasing or dropping to back up. Is he brave enough to give the younger lads a chance before it's to late i.e O'Connell ( I know that wasn't Tony but a prime example non the less). If you take out breretons fee who, if we're honest, went on loan the day we signed him, it wouldn't of made any difference and we would have spent under two million. We all want a healthy budget but ultimately it's the manager who makes a team. Some big spenders won't go up this season and some well drilled unit ala Cardiff last and Sheffield united this will. That's not the budget , thats the manager and coaching staff. I honestly believe you give tony 20-30 million we wouldn't go up due to the way he sets us up to be negative and fail and that's before some of the garbage he would waste it on -
Championship 2018-19
Oldgregg86 replied to Cherry Blue's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
What you need is an honest , decent guy in the form of Tony mowbray. We will take Alex off you with his bloody ambition. -
I don't care who signed him. If Tony puts his name to it in public then it's on his head as far as I'm concerned

Usually they just pick there mates and who they enjoyed rooming with. I wouldn't take it to seriously. I agree about the forgotten club thing though it's like we are and always have been a stepping stone, a brief chapter in people's careers not worth bookmarking. It's sad really when you think of a premier league win, a league cup win, European football and promotions. It sticks in the throat abit especially when so few every go on to do anything better -
Expect Johnny's brother to start and most likely the king of ewood as well. Que message board meltdown at 2.50pm tomorrow, followed by a routine win for forest. Tony to come out and stand by his line up and be happy with the performance mentioning the rub of the green and we'll keep going and hopefully put things right at qpr. Wipes biscuit crumbs off his shoulder and sits in his car waiting for mulgrew to say nothing in the dressing room. Copy and paste this in every game thread until next February when the pressure starts being real
