So you only support the Rovers if they are winning.  Walk away when they are not and return when they start winning again?

Good question 1 I've been mulling over this 1 with not going on then having time to. At what point do you draw the line? I said it was a clean slate all round because I'm not a hypocrite I hadn't been going so unfair to criticise. When you support a team you have to be into it as a journey rough & smooth. Everyone see things differently of course.

Can you pay on the day? I've not made my mind up about this 1. It's a yes & no 1.

Who manages Tony Mowbray?

Who manages Mike Cheston?

Who manages Blackburn Rovers Football Club?

Rhetorical question but the answer is no fecker does and until that changes our downward trajectory of fortunes won't.

The banks the finance sector.

Simple minds - alive & kicking

U2 - all I want is you.

Hope Leeds don't recall Antonsson if they sell Wood to the Dingles!

In truth unless there's a agreement nobody really knows?  They have signed 2 strikers ekuban? Any better than antonsson up to you, nobody can really say what will happen. Hope theres an agreement in place unless he's really crud.

West ham bought Hernandez for 16 million who Is a proven goalscorer in the premier league.

I get that Hernandez and Wood are different types of striker but they already have a big lump in Vokes

Think if they do sign woods they will also sign maybe another striker they've got the Keane gray money signed a few old timers from Stoke lol & Cork fee should have abit left. Time will tell if he was worth the overall dollar if they do splash out. Maybe not striker that clusic is he a striker? Maybe a AM, that Walters plays wing/upfront I think.

Maybe so, but Chris woods has already adapted to the English game at championship level, basically it will be a free signing for them because due to his age barring any accident they will be able to recoup the transfer fee back or a large amount dependant on certain factors which I think will be favourable. Not pro Burnley don't like them very much it makes business sense.

Oh I'm not saying he is a good player no way worth the 15 million quoted.

Transfer market has gone mad,ordinary players being bought for crazy money.

Younger version of Glenn Murray but with resale in todays prices don't think its far off, can he step up thats the gamble but with age it will be a good signing for them if it happens.

Surprised Leeds let him go if the dingles sign Chris Wood that leaves them short still time for them in the window.

There won't be 31,000 on at Ewood again in my lifetime.

The potential is there not sure on 31k though, they'd be back in droves if we ever got back to the promised land. Some people just want to watch top flight football same in every club.

I'm with you.

This match will show just how far the pendulum has swung.

Anything can happen in a derby but our squad is pants when compared to theirs and they are going to be up for this like no other fixture.

There is no reason why we can't be is there? Obviously they will be the favourites but nobody should be throwing the towel in when me meet. (PC tiredness). Cup games are 1 offs anything can happen as you've acknowledged.

well living in nelson   (nr burnley)  with us being in div 1 and then in the top one it is quite hard having all the jokes aimed at us

Believe me it's not if you don't pay any attention. I'm thick skinned, then again wouldn't hang around with the jokers I'd be wearing a Man U scarf Chelsea if I was interested in winning. Take a chill pill FFS.

I know a number of burnley fans what with living nr burnley, yes would love to go  but just want to win to give me some small joy in these hards times for us rovers fans

Wouldn't describe things as hard times exactly everybody has they own perspective of course.  Luck & misfortune always evens itself out & when you least expect it.
