Half expected it to be honest, the games after the internationals are usually a bit scatty, deserved a draw at least but never mind. Home wins would lead us to the top 6, Friday a must win. Its typical that Huddersfield click into place just before we play them too 🤦

M6 is currently closed around Junction 30, may after some people's journey so key an eye on it re-opening....

Curtis is quite frankly a fat wanker, he used to take great delight making bullshit stories up about our players in the Sun to try and unsettle them when we were up there challenging his beloved United.

Sharpe says there's a "year option" - why are we still fannying about with these?

New deal signed to 2027, he's had a bit of a wobble lately but sure most of us will welcome the news.

When Kaminski arrived he had a unique (sometimes quite scary) positional sense, in that he was almost in midfield at times! Rightly or wrongly he's gradually been pushed back. Also when he arrived his distribution was better, it seemed to get a bit shaky after an injury the other season, from memory either a groin or hammy strain. Things like that can become mental (fear of reoccurrence). If he's now had knee surgery there's a worry from that too. Personally I think I'd be tempted to stick with Pears now till the end of the season to avoid rocking the boat too much.....

What do you drive Chaddy? Appreciate this topic has gone wildly off on a tangent but I see no issues. Sponsors should appreciate this debate.

I've got a 2ltr diesel and don't have to pay the clean air charge, only city I would have to is London.....

Great news, I think the cup run has done a world of good👍

What was the selling point out of interest?

I'd love a Birmingham round trip for 25 quid 🥲

Thanks for that, I guess I wasn't so far off with my gut feeling then, give or take a few quid here and there.

At some point I imagine someone will be arsed to do some kind of comparison on ST prices elsewhere in the league. I reckon we'll be about average this season, can't see many clubs making tickets cheaper at all. You have clubs in this league slipping into embargoes and being unable to pay wages, fair play if the ones holding the purse strings can offer cheap season tickets. You'll have a tough time trying to find anything reducing in price in these tough times.....

Not specifically Rovers but funnily enough I was reading earlier how Forest have altered a load of their prices and if you're 19 you now pay full price (they've bumped those prices up too).

It's not mind blowing but people should be fairly happy with those prices. IF we could manage to nail promotion those tickets become a lot more enticing, partly because there's less midweek games too. Let's be honest Sky wouldn't be mad on seeing us play every week either. If the current feel good factor carries over I think we'll see a rise in season tickets anyway, but nothing major.

That's Easter Monday sorted then, the kids will have got on my tits enough by then so they can have a day with their mum

You can get the train for circa £40 if you don't mind split ticketing it, that's from Accy anyway so possibly cheaper depending where people live.....

Not sure how many grounds you've been to this season but i can assure you there's grounds in a lot worse states than Ewood in the league!

We'll definitely need a new stand by the end of the season now. Burnley are set to bring a quarter of a million fans to Ewood in the home areas and will trash it.

They weren't ALL double decker buses, some looked like decent coaches. I ended up on a bus myself and it was crap, the driver and 'steward' were right miserable/arrogant swines too. They obviously had to use companies that they don't typically use due to demand, as it was cheap though I let it slide. We struggled to organise private transport as Rovers had tapped up a lot of local companies, I'll not be going 'official' again if I can help it though

Along with Sky TV these rail strikes are taking the pee now. We've done well to maintain decent away followings because they're constantly making it hard work.

It wouldn't be a disaster at all to go up even for a season, ultimately all it boils down to is money and we could do with some. You can absolutely guarantee season ticket sales would shoot up regardless, there'd then be the challenge of keeping them all if we went down of course but as we saw on Sunday, there's a nicer vibe amongst supporters to say 12 months ago. If we fail with promotion this season I think we'll have come pretty close and the obvious move then is to offer a free season ticket in the PL to existing ST holders should we fare better next season. I think Burnley did similar a few seasons ago?

Should be 4k Canaries there then, would be nice to hit the dizzy heights of a 20k crowd again 😏

He's becoming a bit of a legend if you ask me, it's hard to believe the criticism he was getting on here not long ago, someone even wishing a broken leg upon him, unbelievable from a so called fan. Ever since his performance at Boro away I've rated the guy, but now he's found more attacking confidence it's brilliant to see.
