Haha presume you watched the documentary and got that sense from the Egg too. It's a long road ahead. The club has it's priorities which involves developing youth through the academy, giving them game time and selling them on. Survival in the championship is the way to manage the cat 1 status so that's what they will go for.

If anyone hasn't yet seen this I would recommend. From before JDTs departure. GBs interview alongside the head of academy is fascinating. Undertones of "when JDT leaves" the new coach has to work under this framework of football we have set up.

Yeh he is so consistent in the u21s. Any noise around him joining up with the first team?

Lol. Technically it's the pirates but the only pirates I've seen near the Mem are students on a pub crawl

Amen. Top post.

Ironically Bolton road was ok to park

On paper and on the boards outside the game but people don't actually say the gas here. That is a weird thing to say these days. We joked about it in the park the other day actually when walking the dog as I was wearing my rovers scarf and a guy was wearing his Bristol rovers scarf

Totally agree. We've missed these 3 for such a big part of the season. If they all stay fit we will be scoring a few more goals which is what we have been missing. As long as we score one more than the opposition we will be fine. Hahah nice set of stats there mate haha Yep well underrated

I agree. Also living here in Bristol, especially this close to Bristol rovers, I find myself correcting folk all the time when I tell them I'm a rovers fan, so I often refer to being a Blackburn fan. It gets more confusing as Bristol rovers are blue and white and our scarfs look similar. I do hope we never have to play eachother in league 1

I think he was basically suggesting he isn't interested or going to refer to the owners, money spent, politics, project changing, summer, transfers, sales, taxes or India..he is only going to "focus on the pitch" Yes John, let's see how that pans out in September. I bet you won't be just focussing on the pitch then. These owners will make you want to connect with the fans about how poorly run the club is.

Oh mate I remember that. We had a good away fan turn out but we missed you lot. There was a lot of chat about that at the game before kick off and the chaps at the turnstiles said they would keep it open because they knew( everyone knew as it was a big deal on that day) scumbags though. It's worth getting there early as there is a good away friendly pub near the stadium a few mins walk away. Enjoy the game lads. Hopefully a good turnout and a good win!!!

Here circled

Yeh it's actually not bad and free street parking on all the roads near by. The stadium is in a rough area but there is plenty of street parking near the supermarket (? Morrisons) near by. Also a really friendly away fans pub near the supermarket.

Cheers..I don't use twitter either so always hopeful someone finds and shares the link. It's changed a lot recently and now I cant event search on it like I used to be able to without having an account. But annoying! Hopefully the LT article covered most of what he said. Big game tomorrow, hope he gets one over on the brum

Any links to the interview?

And the difference between JDT and JE... "All I can effect is what's on the pitch" https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/24114896.eustace-blackburn-rovers-ownership-no-excuse-culture/

All of this is so true but I reckon of that £8m we will see about £10 in transfer fees

I wouldn't take much notice of social media "likes" follows "etc this is all managed by professional accounts not the actual individual so it's not worth considering to much detail who " likes" what post

It's all a bit ridiculous. Maybe they'll sack him and take on jdt

Just keep telelovic on the bench for the entire match. Or leave him in Blackburn

His value went from £17m to £1m What a decline poor lad

What happened to Oliver Burke? 20games for Birmingham no goals.

They've got a few new players in over winter they need embedding. Any ideas on how good these are ?
