Bournemouth will stay up , Sheff, Luton and bastards down 👍

Stabilas in 1981were about a week's wage, for a short one 🙄

Disappointed we're only 15th, seems like we're playing like 5 places higher though I've only seen highlights.

You're Gorgeous - Baby Bird

Oops 3 Fors

Tears For Fears - Head Over Heels

You can get spare spirit level bubbles though 😁

Keeping AW out of the side might take the pressure/hype away from him and make possible suitors forget about him for a season?

And rubber nails 😁

Then up to Rovers for the comedian and back down to the Sett for the 2nd stripper 😁👍

@roverandout condolences to you and your family. R.I.P. your mum.

Don't you mean Gaz and Emz?

For me, GB beds to deliver consistently over the next 2 transfer windows to prove he is the real deal. He's not there yet but I'm hoping.

Message boards are all about opinions, good or bad, posts - good or bad are essential to keep them current and vibrant, ergo encouraging debate. Professional players nowadays surely are coached about how negative "press" affects them and how to deal with it? Football psychology has been going on for some while.

We have got a few "flair" players ATM but I'm struggling to get enthused about the current England team, whether that's old age or a symptom of the overall set up?

And a long stand, a bucket of steam and a gallon of compressed air 😁

Stay strong mate, in my (very) recent experiences with the NHS as a cancer patient, they are extremely good. Support staff, nurses, doctors and consultants. There are some really good treatments available now. Macmillan Cancer charity are amazing too 💯 check out their on line stuff, tremendously helpful and informative. Best wishes, cancer doesn't just effect the patient. Think positive 👍

I would if it was face to face but wouldn't expect a reply if I put it in an email.

Unprofessional I guess 😁

Reminds me of the old Ribblesdale coaches back in the 70s.

I got a reply........ Despite some of your personal comments aimed at Mr Waggott, and the fact that your email has not been received due to technical issues that have been publicly broadcast, we now wish to respond with some of the facts behind the decision of closing down not only the Blackburn End but also the Riverside for the second time this season. There are a number of factors to consider when creating the operational plan for a matchday and the decisions made are based on these. Initially we review what the anticipated attendance is going to be and then measure this against the financial cost of opening the entire stadium. For the first round of the Carabao Cup; BRFC V Walsall, we attracted an attendance of just over 6,000 supporters. For this fixture the capacity for the Blackburn End was less than 50% capacity of the lower tier. Due to the make-up of the stadium, once the decision is made to open a stand, the staffing of that area remains the same whether the stand is at capacity or accommodating fewer than 500 supporters. For the Cardiff game, we anticipated an attendance of circa 4000-5000 which is just over a third of the capacity for the Jack Walker Stand and less than one sixth of the whole stadium and therefore the Jack Walker stand would adequately cater for the expected demand. We do appreciate that many of our long-standing supporters sit in the Blackburn End and would argue that this stand is affectionately referred to as the home end, but the Jack Walker Stand can be relied upon to accommodate all supporters with ease. This provides a better backdrop for the broadcast footage based on top of the Riverside Stand and ultimately it will help us to manage costs at a time when all costs have to be carefully considered under Financial Fair Play rules. I’m sure you can appreciate and understand why the Club has taken the relevant measures on this occasion. Of course, these decisions will be reviewed on a match-by-match basis should we progress further in the competition, as we hope to do. Thanking you for your continued support. Kind regards Christina Haines On behalf of Steve Waggott And sent this one back : Thank you for your reply. Does Mr Waggot realise that his decision took perhaps 2,000 supporters off the attendance figure, plus their spend in the shop/concourses, reduced the already declining atmosphere and must have de motivated the players, having to play in a ground that was empty on three sides - less the 300 travelling fans! Surely it would have been better to house thse fans in the end of the JW stand and open the BBE for home supporters, most of who were there before Steve Waggots arrival and will be there long after his departure? That is of course, if the club still exists after the perennial cost cutting that he is implementing for this once great club. Regards, Wonder if I'll get a reply to this one ? 😁
