Our marketing people stink.
The below is only an example:

if Rovers sold 20,000 tix at £10/each, they would make more money than selling 10,000 tix at £20/each. 

How?

20,000 would buy more kits, pies & pints. it would also be more likely to encourage fans in Rovers’ catchment area. Young, old, & families alike. 

Winning improves attendance. IMO, the club can’t reduce ticket prices to every single game. But they can drop prices to insure fans still want to attend to see “their team”, even if that team is not chasing promotion.
The club flubbed on this a long time ago, when they didn’t drop ticket prices on the final 2 or 3 home games, when it was obvious our fans were not going to see a promotion-chasing Rovers team this year. 

Assuming it all goes well & we stay up, we have to get ready for a crazy summer...
- I'm sure Sammie will be sold off; 

- Loanees return to parent clubs;

- I cannot see Gally and/or Dolan both being re-signed;

- Travis coming back? 

We could retain Fleck (if healthy). I don't see McFadz getting a new deal.
Also, Siggy will need to step up, & give us more than he did this year. Tronstad as well. 

So, a mere point in the final three games would save us, IF…

Hud & ShefW both win twice, we’re still safe on goal diff. 

Wednesday/Stoke & Hud all draw, QPR lost. This helps, but... 

Millwall & brum win, we're not totally out of the soup yet.

Great win today! What's your thoughts about Hyam today? I was watching on a very small screen, and can't really tell, but was he there? Did he play well, and did he deliver a proper reaction to last game disaster?

From what I saw, 11 heroes on the pitch today. McFadz on at HT, did a great job at frustrating Leeds, who bit the dust at every opportunity, trying to get calls that never came, on shots they couldn’t make. 

I believe Hyam & Brittain redeemed themselves. Gally & Dolan with the brilliant header & cagey pass to Sammie for the winner. Otherwise, the latter two had a rough day today. 

All in all, a very rewarding game for Rovers. 

One thing is sure:

Our Rovers are capable of playing some excellent footie on occasion. As the results at Sund, S’oton & Leeds attest, all great performances. 

Now, the record at Ewood, I have no explanation for that. 

Also, 36,000+ at Elland today. So happy that 30,000+ of those are disappointed, lol 

Looking at early results: brum, & Millwall up, hull winning. 

Yes, I  know we alone control our destiny, but it’s amazing the fight in the clubs around us.

55 years and counting ! 

Blackburn Rovers , you are in my heart and you are in my soul !

What a wonderful unexpected result !

 

Waggy, I hope to say that someday. 
If I do, I will be 106! 🤣

It wasn’t perfect, but best performance all year. I love the effort. 

ROVERS! 

YES!!! 

 Bamford down, no penalty lol 

Leeds throwing the whole bench in, nothing seems to work for them 

Six minutes?! How?

Rovers’ fans, bringing the noise 

Gally with the header, Dolan the pass, Sammie, the finish. I love it! 

Sammie!!!!

Another crises barely averted 

Leeds subs are quality. We have nothing to compete with Bamford & James. 

Best chance. Wasted 

Leeds players, still falling needlessly. But somebody about to get a 2nd yellow, I feel it…

Dolan and Gally in the 6-yard box… one falls, the other ambles idly. Typical

I didn’t think we would make it to HT scoreless, I’d be more encouraged, if we could make a pass or two. 

Those shots of Leeds fans, priceless 😂

I have defended Gally, but this game has shown he is expendable. Liability with the ball, or defending. He made one clearance, that’s it. 
 

Poor passing has even infected Sammie.
