They said on Radio Lancs yesterday that the cut off was after the games on Wed.

Really hope this is right as it would help.. I was searching it up on my phone at a kids party yesterday 🤪

Did we not just pass the cut off point for a bookings ban? I maybe wrong but sure we did

After a Google search it looks like it resets on the 31st of December

Sam Burns

I must admit after watching the u23s I have found myself asking the Sam burns question alot, even more so after Armstrong left what does he need to do to get a go at the next stage up?

As someone who sees a fair amount of Chorley and bamber bridge I really would not want rovers in any form playing at this level. These are very difficult leagues to get out of. Our present crowds are drawn from a wide area including bamber bridge and Chorley if rovers were playing at this level how much of what support was left would travel to Blackburn to watch this level?

This is a very good point as I am a committed rovers st holder and live in leyland but would I travel to blackburn to see that level...... I just don't know and can not answer this with assurance as a yes, sorry just being truthful

Don't think so I've been to three away games so far this season and not asked ones

I would put Pickering at right back and play either Edun or Cirino left back. in a back four. However, I suspect Mowbray will have Carter at RB, with Johnson alongside Ayala, in what would be an extremely slow back line.

I think Mowbray would be foolish to play 3 at the back, as he's struggled to get any kind of performance from it. The way we play it, our three centre backs end up marking one attacker and three forwards dally upfield whilst the two central midfielder get overrun. If we play it with three disciplined central midfielders, could work, I guess.

Watched cirino alot at u23s and think he is the right fit for a replacement for Ryan plays very much the same way

So just over 2000 tickets have sold out in a few days for Blackpool. Suspect we could have sold twice that had they gone on general sale to the non season ticket holders.

Is the biggest factor the reasonable price of £23 or just the jolly boys day out on the ale?

I must admit I'm looking forward to it a lot more than a Tuesday night at home to Hull....

I'm really hoping more go on sale, as a season ticket holder I really wanted to go and had to wait till Friday cash wise, wanted to take the daughters. I'm holding on to hope that blackpool will want more cash into the club and put more on sale

I can judge him as he is at the moment, on his performance tonight. Whether or not, that he was coming back from injury, tonight he was below U23s standard

Sorry dint want to start but your wrong, he was rusty on the pitch last night but before the game had only had 45 minutes, anyone after that time out would be the same but his position on the pitch his eye for a pass and ability to get between man and ball was all there he will come on with time on the pitch, but if your looking to our own players for that position look no further than our very own... lenni rae cirino ... and has missed the last two under 23 matches as he has been on the bench for the first team, he is just as good or better than Ryan.

On reflection, I think if we’d had Dack, we’d have nicked it yesterday. That’s exactly what we were lacking. I love Arma, but I thought he was poor yesterday. Why didn’t he just smash it when 1 on 1, instead of that attempted chip?

With arma i started to worry when I watched the interview with him on YouTube and the guy talking to him was like " so you bookes favorite for the golden boot this season" then the next game ( derby away ) he is one on one with the keeper and fails... and yesterday every shot at the keeper. Just hope he can shake it off over the break, the international break for me is like pulling teeth as I'm Scottish by birth !!!!

It's the second big conspiracy currently plaguing Rovers. Besides Mowbray being an undercover agent sent out to keep us in mid table rather than the top 6, Armstrong is now sabotaging the team in order to make himself look better so he'll be sold quicker. Do keep up!

O please ........ get a grip

I regularly and openly disagree with Mowbrays decisions on here and have stated that I felt it was a time for Managerial change on two separate occasions.

I start every factual point about Venkys with “they’ve been absolutely terrible but...”

Ive actually been a pretty regular poster for 12 months outside of the transfer windows but Hey, don’t let the truth get in the way of a good story...?

I have supported Rovers since I was 10. My then football manager took me to Ewood in 1991 for the first time and I fell in love with the place.

As for perspective on owning / running businesses on a shoe string and with large budgets, I have done this at six, seven and eight figure turnovers and continue to do so. I do not believe that financial modelling from 30+ years ago holds much weight in today’s financial climate.

The ‘plant’ notion is ridiculous. Because this minuscule community has absolutely no effect on Venkys or the club. We’re just not that important mate, suck it up. So why would anyone pay me to disagree with all the miserable sods on here? It makes no sense! ??

The fact of the matter is that we all have a different view on the same issues in here. I accept that, you can’t and look for ‘other’ reasons as to why anyone could see things differently to you.

No matter how bad it gets, I will never whine, whinge and moan. I’m not built that way. I focus on what I can see and more importantly what I can control and I deal with it all from a positive base. That’s me. Paul Mani, RTID

Yep. Sums it up. Presumably the hospitality folk will have no issues gaining admittance for the pilot fixture whilst us plebs have to enter a ballot to decide who gets to go.

 

The ballot is only for the trial match to see how it works to see if we can go back the st will be on sale lower tiers first then once sold out uppers next if demand for them

Even if we sell 9,000 it won’t produce anything like £4m. More like half that when you factor in children, young adult and senior discounts.

I know i know it was an average price just to work some numbers out ..... give or take 500,000

Ok ok let's look at this a min,

capacity 31,367

Minus 70% to leave 30% between the 20 to 40 the government will allow is 9,410

With an average price at around £450 from jack walker to riverside 

Thats £4,234,500 

Just putting it out there and if I ever win big on the lottery ever st holder will get it paid for by me...... FACT

Another shocking mistake by Mowbray ...

He was staying in Hanley house at the time and I did some work there, told me himself his lady was fed up wanted to be back down south next to her family so was going to stay at clubs down there FACT nothing to do with TM

Hi all I'm more of a read it not comment kind of guy BUT......... the rewriting of the raya history has me very perplexed, the guy could not kick out a ball from goal without it going out of play, catch a simple cross or even see a simple pass when with us. I for one was over the moon when we sold him ( yes yes it left us with nothing ) his change in play is a clear indication we really need a better goalkeeper coach FACT. ( or he wanted to go that much he made mistakes) 

Hi all I am doing the sleep out for Blackburn rovers community trust.

This year the trust is working in partnership with blackburn food bank with funds going to the homeless and underprivileged families in the blackburn area 

I'm a 41 year old man, dad to 3 children husband and own my own decorating company in the leyland area but always feel THOSE WHO HAVE SHOULD HELP THOSE WHO HAVEN'T...... 

I would really appreciate if you could give something towards the charity... even the price of a pint or a pie can help. 

Thank you for reading and please let's make a difference together

In fact today in honour of our smoggie leader every pub I go in today I’m going to ask the price of a pint and when they say £3 .I’m going to say those are ridiculous numbers what about a quid I’m not being held to ransome. Let’s see how many pints I get

See what you just did there is confuse RRP and sale price with the world of football agents where ok players are sold at high prices and I think TM has learned from the BB purchase 

I think we have this one, all our players wilm be up for it as backed by TM as the only players he need to get into the play offs, I watch the u23 at leyland alot and our young boys are really good so I back the youth to come through when needed add to that the older heads of johnson and downing with the wizard travis and the sight of Holtby to pass to the angel of the north arma and I can see us doing well, IF we had signed anyone it would be weeks before they played anyway so with that COYB, barmyarmy, let's do it for jack.

Mowbray can be a good manager whilst being an awful negotiator. I can't think of many other clubs where the manager has a role in negotiating transfers  but then with Venkys we arent the typical club

This is one of our big problems at the min TM is the manager not the coach....... so in affect both him and wiggnot are making all the decisions and Turkey's down vote for Christmas..... it's clear both bretherton and big sam was not TMs signings
