If around £25million is offered, and Tony thinks that he will get even half of it to spend, then the highest bidders hand should be snapped off.

I think I'd rather have it as it's a nice ground, we could well take a couple of thousand if the pricing is right (especially coming after two of the championships pricier away games). Chance of winning if we take it seriously. Much more appealing than being at Ewood with 2 stands closed and a few thousand home fans in, all in my opinion anyway.

The more I think about it, the more I see it as a good draw. They tend to price there cup games very reasonable at St James as well.

Got to say never really noticed Pearson stand out too much on television. Today though, wow what a player, very impressed.

Certainly a derby in my book, infact Deepdale is best part of 2miles closer to Ewood than Turf Moor.

Imagine sales will be over 4k by close of play Saturday, especially if we can get a positive result v Rotherham.

I got 9 together on row 27 of block L which is second block, at around 1430 today.

The way Lewis Travis slotted Into a defensive role at WBA last week was very impressive. Should have nudged him up the pecking order. Rovers 3-1 QPR. Come on you blue and white warriors.

6 points from the QPR and Rotherham games and I reckon we may sell out. Big ask, but this group of players well capable.

His effort in every game should give him positive sentiment, absolute workhorse. As you say with the quality of Reed beside him, it's a strong middle of the park.

For a week after the Oxford game, season tickets should have been available for pre order at say between 200 and 250 pound for renewing season ticket holders, and people that attended the Oxford game.

Yes, even when he's out wide you can tell he has been tasked with chasing down across the opposition back 4 and closing keeper down, saves Graham's legs.

It's not rocket science to me, we move Bennett to right back and the opposition play through us far easier than when he's higher up the pitch hounding them. He sets the tempo for the pressing and others follow, that was absent last night.

Smallwood for me, ridiculous amount of blocks and hounded them all afternoon. Danny Graham a very close second.

Think I'd maybe be more confident with Williams playing behind him.

Set off from Manchester Piccadilly at 0830 arrived at temple meads at about 1150. Nice walk down to the ground pointed in the right direction by a very friendly Bristol CIty fan. Quick pit stop in the Avon packet en route, a sort of olde worlde pub, or maybe "a dive" to some people ?. The type of which no longer exist in Blackburn and surrounding areas unfortunately. Very friendly welcome from staff and customers alike. Arrived at the ground with 20 mins to spare, great set up outside the away end. Then the game, first half was a very good game, second half Bristol upped the tempo and we looked unable to cope, fair result in the end. Left the game when the fourth goal went in, and after a brisk walk back to temple meads made the earlier 4pm train back to Manchester, got into Piccadilly at 1900. All in all, as has so often been the case down the years, a great day out, spoiled by the outcome of the football somewhat.

Anyone else have reservations regarding Palmer's attitude off the ball. Very skilful Player with the ball no doubting, but for Bristol's second goal when the move started right In front of the dugouts, he just stood still not far from halfway and allowed a runner to walk right off him and advance into our half. I noticed it at the game, he was stood In exactly the same position when the ball nestled in our net. Jury well and truly out.

0827 from Piccadilly gets you into Bristol at 1151 with a change at BIrmingham

Absolute pleasure to see the effort being put in, and us out working sides as we are, been a long time since we've seen that. Add a bit of quality before close of this window and the results will follow.

Well aren't they mentioning Jack Grealish at Villa in the £30m bracket?

Not saying the vast majority take part in it week in, week out, but it's certainly been the vast majority of the away end at Ewood taking part in that song when they visit. RIP Jimmy

A mate of mine works for the police and is often at Ewood on a matchday (and the turf) and reckons there is a growing issue at Ewood, says the Oldham game was among the worst hes policed. Pretty sure there was a report in the telegraph saying similar not to long back as well. The handful of times ive exited that way I have seen police having to intervene and punches or missiles being thrown (I have walked round from the far side of the riverside by this point) can’t recall which games off the top of my head but Shrewsbury and Southend were certainly two of them. Edit - For all I know it could be the away support causing it, but I would imagine it usually takes both sides. :

In fairness there has been trouble at the back of the Darwen end almost every home game this season, just check out other teams forums and most mention it. Whilst this is a minority, the number of kids involved has seemed to grow week by week. I’m sure this will have been taken into account when closing it, due to the bigger followings and higher risk of violence next season.

Tune Adams family: In our defensive foursome He’s absolutely awesome He tackles and he floors em it’s Ryan Nyambe
