I recall that season ticket prices were discussed during the secret meeting with Swag and a few of the senior players recently... do we think there's any chance that he's taken the feedback on board, and will offer prices more reasonable for the area? What do you expect the prices to be this year? Of course, the league we are in will be a big factor. If we stay up, i'd hope for the maximum adult ticket price to be £350 - in the JW Upper. £299 in the Riverside, and somewhere in the middle for the JW Lower and BBE. Though that's probably dreamland stuff with Waggott running the show...

I've always seen the potential in Markanday, and he's starting to show us what he can do. He seems much more comfortable at this level now, and lately has started to look visibly stronger, faster and more skilful. Hope Gregg offers him an extra 3 years on similar terms at the earliest convenience, can see him having a blinder next season.

Recent displays have restored some faith for me, I think we'll manage 2 wins and a draw from our last 5 and survive fairly comfortably with 53 points. Bristol City 0-1 Rovers Leeds 2-0 Rovers Rovers 2-0 Sheff Weds Rovers 1-1 Coventry Leicester 1 - 0 Rovers

Would like to see us go for 4 at the back again; There's a very good case for starting Dolan over Gilsenan, it's likely the more sensible option... but I honestly think that it won't take Gilsenan long to make that LW position his own. He's young and hungry, give him a chance I say! I avoid posting my predictions, as historically they always tend to go the opposite way - but I must say that I have a good feeling about this one, for some unknown reason. Not sure if we'll win, but I don't think we're gonna lose. COYB!

So they’ve had recent approaches from potential buyers, but will only consider selling us if we get promoted to the PL… problem is, they as our owners won’t do anything to help us achieve that. Sickening stuff, we’re gonna be stuck with these clowns forever at this rate 👎

We're absolutely screwed. We've sold our star boy just to keep the lights on, no chance of reinvestment... all due to being owned by dodgy, incompetent morons who couldn't give 2 shits about our Club. Ewood will be beyond toxic in light of this, that's if anyone even shows up... this will send a massive ripple through the Club and likely affect the players, relegation seems almost guaranteed.

Nope! Us fans are the ones who genuinely love the Club, worry about it, and care about it's future. We deserve timely updates, particularly given the current state of affairs... instead, we're constantly left in the dark, by morons who couldn't give 2 shits. So much for "togetherness"...

Highly doubt it's been postponed for 5 months

Good spot. Likelihood is that the funds have been approved as expected, and 20/08/24 is the date in which they'll have to request to send the next batch... conveniently, slap bang in the middle of the transfer window. If we somehow manage to stay up this season, the owners won't do shit to assure that we're safe next season. Expect the usual circus in the summer... - Most/all of the Wharton and Raya money will go towards bills. - Tiny transfer pot if lucky, but can't be spent until after 20/08/24, due to "financial uncertainty". - Free's and majorly cheap loans mainly. - Relegation well on the cards, with 2 heavy dickings guaranteed from the dingles.

There hasn't been an update on the portal yet either

Anyone have any idea on the timing of it all? As in, will we know by dinner time, evening, tomorrow etc.

A few games ago, I stated how I couldn't see where the next win comes from... but at this stage, looking at our fixtures, I can't even see where the next draw comes from. We are comfortably the worst side in the league under Eustace, embarrassing in pretty much every aspect, with Sammie being the only shining light. 'Boro have struggled a bit themselves this season, despite being capable of a cracking result here and there. There's a small chance that we could snatch a draw... however, I honestly believe that even if they don't turn up and play terribly, they'll still have enough to beat us. 3-0 'Boro. Venkys Out. Suhail Out. Waggott Out.

Waggott provides update on Venky's and Blackburn finances

This will just be a rinse and repeat of that dross from last night; - 5 at the back against a team around us. - no will to win. - no urgency to go forward. - just make sure we don't lose. 0-0 draw. Apart from Sammie and Scotty, the rest of these players just don't give a shit. You have a bunch of them who aren't good enough and just enjoying the ride, then another bunch who are good enough but genuinely don't care, as they'll happily be sold on the cheap and shipped off as soon as we go down. They need to fight for the badge while they wear it. They may be able to fuck off when shit hits the fan, but us loyal supporters will always be here... they need to show us and our Club some respect, and be willing to die for the 3 points.

If i'm being very generous, I can make 8 points from those games. If i'm being realistic, well... I think the hard truth is that we might not win another game this season. We are truly, truly awful. A good chunk of our players simply aren't good enough at this level.

Millwall have had a proper new Manager bounce with Neil Harris, winning their first 2 games with him in charge, and against good sides; Southampton (A), and Watford (H). Unfortunately, I can't see them having much trouble with us. Half of our players simply aren't good enough at this level. 0-2 Millwall 😔 This is what happens when cost-cutting is the only priority. Waggott and Suhail are desperate to appease those scumbags in Pune, even if it's at the expense of our Championship status. Get the rats out of our Club. Venkys Out. Waggot Out. Pasha Out.

There was a small passing moment that I loved in the first half last night, not sure if anyone else clocked it; The ball was in the air after a big bounce and going towards Jacob Murphy, he was looking up and moving in, clearly very intent on challenging for it, then he looked down and saw big McFadz bulldozing towards it and just backed right off. 😄 Could see that he had one look at him and thought "Fuck that!" - his whole life must've flashed before his eyes 😄

Yeah I looked on their forum and a few of them were yapping about buying tickets in the Home stands, there'll be a few scattered about no doubt! ~7500, the whole Darwen End.

Update; Home Tickets sold so far (via the ticket map SVG); Jack Walker - 7,273 BBE Lower - 4,630 Riverside - 2,540 Total - 14,443 Looking at a decent attendance, can also expect a good few to buy their tickets on the door.

Home Tickets sold so far (via the ticket map SVG); Jack Walker - 6,390 BBE Lower - 3,647 Riverside - 1,961 Total - 11,998 Factoring in the Newcastle fans, who I believe have sold out the Darwen End - there should be at least 20k at Ewood tomorrow.

Norwich are a team playing well at the moment. In their last 4, they've won 3 and drawn 1, scoring 12 goals. Josh Sargent is in great form, having scored 5 of those 12. They're looking like serious play-off contenders - currently sitting in 8th place, only 3 points away from 6th. Can't say i'm looking forward to this one, to be honest! Would snatch your hand off for a draw.

You don't rest players and throw points away, especially not when you're in a relegation fight... If players like Szmodics or Tronstad got injured we would be absolutely naffed, that's true... however injuries can't be foreseen or prevented, every game is a risk whether you've played 2 games in the past week or 2 games in the past month. Fleck is a prime example of that, having picked up an injury in the first 15 minutes of football he's played in a long time. Rotate the players as normal, sure... but when you're desperate for points, you take the risk and play the best squad you can for every game.

Thought the same thing, we're screwed if he takes a knock. Hell of a player. I'm already dreading the Summer Window... it's gonna hurt like mad when we let him go to an ambitious Club for absolute peanuts.
