Atlast I reason for me to chant John Kettley, John kettley, John kettley, Oh John kettley !

3pm , 5pm

On Rovers TV 🤣🤣 And now... the weather 🤣

Weather and Radar looking clear for the duration of the game down to the current state of the pitch now. So no rain due, just need the groundsman on there now and get this game on

The Venkys Rain continues...

I guess so. I mean Dennis missed two absolute sitters at Sheffield last season that could of put us into playoffs. I hope Moussa kicks on and shows some quality. I just think more game time will see him improve. Perhaps starting him now Forshaw is out

Dennis 2.0

According to radar the last of the rain is around 2pm and breaks off for 3pm for the evening.

Recommend Weather and Radar for accuracy. Google it, click it, scroll down to radar and tap on the map. Pinch n zoom accordingly. 👌

It could be OK. No doubt they'll of put more holes in, if there's a breaking the rain at all today then it could be OK. If it rains heavy during then that's a problem at the rain mounts up in the surface its not getting time to soak away.

If you don't laugh you'll cry

ONE TOM DALEY! THERES ONLY ONE TOM DALEY! ONE TOM DAAAALEY

don't forget your umbbumberella ay ay ay...

5:10am It's whacking it down

Decent first game to warm up to. 10th of Jan v Hull Away (Championship) 31st of Jan v Hull Home (Championship) So Hull game FA cup 3rd round 10th-11th Jan will be replaced.... with the Hull game lol

Yes Please 💙🤍

This is what I wanted to see off him. A bite back at the hierarchy. Are there better managers than Val? Of course there is. Can I get behind someone that fights for the club and fans? You're damn right. Perhaps now they can finally see that not only are the fans against them, the players are unhappy and now their 'shopfloor yes man' is having a pop. I'd keep Val another season based on his pushbacks.

Whos for a pint in the Winchester?

Believe it or not pitch drainage is a relatively simple system. Everything relies on gravity and heating. Though the heating element is complex and is additional to aiding pitch drying, the actual framework of drains is simple. Literally just pipes angled at intervals across the pitch. What we don't know is if it all goes one way toward the Riverside or if its 'spidered' and/or arched and joins drains surrounding the pitch to eventually end up in the River Darwen. Suspicion is that they need replacing. As the holes eventually clog up thus creating a plug or they've subsided OR the rain fall genuinely can't cope on the pitch. (More drain lengths, wider drains, mesh footing base needed)

Suddenly? I've always been a pitch drainage expert

No one can stop those. Class finish

Find it quite shameful that you weren't down there at 6.30am checking it. Pfffft call yourself a fan... 😆😆😊😊

Haha I'm no way superior mate not at all and don't claim to be hahah 😆
