No goals in this team apparently. -

I think 2019-20 was 13,873. That was the season interrupted by Covid and 2 of the 5 home games we lost were against Leeds and West Brom who were the top 2 teams and who would brought significant travelling support to boost the average attendance. -

You are right in what you say about attendance levels in this division in the periods you are quoting but it's worth adding that attendances in the 1960s in this division were roughly similar to what they are now and were much lower in the 1970s and 1980s. -
Your Expectations for this Season?
Mashed Potatoes replied to SIMON GARNERS 194's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
With many of our players clearly still improving I think we can finish in the top 6. -
He's 21 later this week so really needs to be pushing for first team action fairly soon ; perhaps a loan out to Division 2 or National League would be a good move.

Your Expectations for this Season?
Mashed Potatoes replied to SIMON GARNERS 194's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Yes, a post that puts things in perspective. In each of the last 5 seasons 2 of the promoted clubs have been in receipt of parachute payments, despite usually there only being 5 clubs or so who have them- the other 19 clubs getting the 1 other spot. The odds are stacked against the clubs who don't have parachute payments. -
I don't think betting offences necessarily reflect the club the player is at. Toney continued betting after he joined Brentford and nobody would call that a club without a real setup and manager.

Venkys London Ltd accounts

It means less debt as what was debt owed by the club to Venkys London Ltd is converted in to shares. -
Premier League 23-24
Mashed Potatoes replied to chaddyrovers's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
And yet attendances continue to rise. -

Parker has a good track record in getting teams promoted from the Championship to the Premier League. -

The debt comes on to the football club. -
New Sporting Director / DOF

It baffles me that those who are so keen to criticise the forum don't put themselves forward to be part of it. -
Championship - 22-23
Mashed Potatoes replied to chaddyrovers's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Clearly more successful. -
Championship - 22-23
Mashed Potatoes replied to chaddyrovers's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
For a brief period in the 80s when David Pleat/Ray Harford was manager they were bigger than us. Otherwise not. -
Premier League 22-23
Mashed Potatoes replied to chaddyrovers's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
If you are right about the relegated clubs then the jobs in the Premier League at Spurs,Palace and possibly Leeds and West Ham will be available. Won't Potter and Rodgers be looking there first ? -
The FF is made up of people who give up their free time without reward to represent supporters' views. If you don't like their approach why not apply to be one of them ?

Season 2023/24…what’s in store ?
Mashed Potatoes replied to den's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
The money from India is put in to Venkys London Ltd in the form of share capital. That company then puts the money received in to football club in the form of debt. As at 30 June 2022 the debt from the club stood at £144m. Since that date there appears to have been a further £2.3m put in from India which presumably has been passed on to the club. From time to time debt outstanding by the club is converted in to equity - effectively writing off the debt. -
Season 2023/24…what’s in store ?
Mashed Potatoes replied to den's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Yes. Carrick's record doesn't reflect on our manager. However it does reflect on his predecessor Chris Wilder who looks like a busted flush, especially when you look at what he has done at Watford (albeit I think that is now a very difficult job). -
Venkys London Ltd accounts
Mashed Potatoes replied to Pete1981's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
I think that the Venkys London accounts have a March year end and the football club has a June year end. Because the training ground sale took place in June 2021 (I think) it meant the sale features in different years for the 2 sets of accounts. -
I would agree with you Leeds would be attractive and with the parachute payments they could afford to buy out JDT's contract. However Leeds are difficult to read because the US influence on the club could mean just about any kind of manager will be appointed. I think Norwich will give Wagner time; they did give Farke time when he arrived and it took Wagner a while to get things going at Huddersfield.
