Excellent pricing but I should point out the meaning of the asterisk against adult prices. The price will actually be £11 per adult with the extra £ going to the Community Trust. Still great value and a worthy cause for a small amount.

This from The Oatcake messageboard sums the game up from me. It was a reply to a post that said "3-0, a fair result". Agreed. Professional performance. They scored quickly then had no obligation to go after a big score line. They defended properly and attacked when they had very limited risk of being caught out.

I thought yesterday's display was primarily an excellent defensive performance. Stoke had the vast majority of the ball and managed one shot on target, none at all after about 7 minutes. There is a fair bit of competition but I made Tronstad our best player, as he probably has been for a few weeks now. It seemed to me that when Scott went off we more or less played 3 at the back with both Travis and Britain operating a bit further forward than a traditional back would play. When under pressure (plenty of the time) both were back with Moran making that back 6. Neil was thoroughly out thought yesterday. Right from the first minute when Stoke set up to attack what he expected would be us playing out from the back and Wahlstedt kicked it long past half the Stoke team from which Szmodics should probably have scored. Neil said after the game that he knew we were weak on scoring from corners - obviously he expected us to play it short. Instead we put in straight on to Scott's head, who Stoke had conveniently left unmarked. He also said that the South Korean lad had a great game so he didn't want to bring Vidigal on - I thought Travis had him in his pocket all afternoon.

Actually it's hark her............

Obviously you will sell some more if you discount. That’s a logical marketing move if you can ring your supplier up on Monday and re-stock but Rovers can’t do that. They have what they have and they want it to last so that someone coming into the shop after Christmas still has some choice. That went horribly wrong last season and they upped the order by 20% this season. Sales are ahead of last year and the third kit is pretty much sold out already. It is almost impossible to get sales just right so the last stock is sold on the last day of the season and it’s doubtful that will be achieved this time. But making some big discounts at this time of year when sales are going well just doesn’t make sense.

Why would any commercial organisation discount stock which it is pretty confident it can sell at full price? Kits have been selling well this season.

We have a bad record against them at Ewood - haven’t won since 2015. But our record there is not bad - three wins out of the last five.

Having a canal narrowboat I've spent plenty of time in and around Stoke over the years - indeed the Caldon Canal which starts in Etruria is my favourite. In particular I commend the wonderful (and wonderfully named) Holy Inadequate pub just off the A500 in Etruria. A marvellous selection of ales and craft beers and a great atmosphere.

They are still working their way through them all, because there are over 100 as them.

They won't be moved. If they make the sign central a number of the letters would coincide with the stairs and it will look worse than it is.

There won't be anything around the remembrance events. I think things will probably coalesce around a minute's applause on the 74th minute.

I first met Birdy properly on the infamous trip to Pune some 10 years or so ago. I had gone as a Fans Forum member but he turned up with a few mates who had flown out there themselves. He has also been on the Forum for a number of years subsequently and I regularly saw him at away games as well. As others have said he could be a bit awkward but his heart was very much in the right place, usually covered in a Rovers red rose. Given his history and the award he got for his efforts the club would I think be amenable to some form of action to remember him on Friday night, subject of course to the approval of his wife Annette, who of course was always at his side at games.

This is the full LinkedIn post that GB made as above: - An enjoyable trip back to Norwich City yesterday, mainly due to Blackburn Rovers' performance and result. Just as great was to see the legacy that we worked so hard to build between 2012 and 2017 continue to bear fruit. A magnificent Championship debut from Jaden Warner (2002) who has had to be patient to earn his opportunity. Another player to graduate from the London recruitment programme that was the hard work of many including Jay Marshall, Ryan Gordon and Ross Embleton. From one age group Norwich City have seen first team appearances from Jon Rowe, Tony Springett, Abu Kamara, Tyrese Omotoye and now Jaden Warner. From the same group Saxon Earley continues to thrive at Plymouth Argyle and Nelson Khumbeni at Bolton Wanderers. On Wednesday night, under less favourable circumstances, it was also good to see Alex Matos continue to develop at Chelsea after his summer transfer from Norwich. Further afield, but also in the same age group, Kristian Hlynsson is now a first team regular for Ajax. When we also add Max Aarons, Jamal Lewis, Ben Godfrey, Carlton Morris, Harry Toffolo, Jacob Murphy, Josh Murphy, Adam Idah and Todd Cantwell into list you realise how privileged we were to be working at Norwich City in such a special era.

I'm pretty sure that Marine to Bury is down 2 levels? Marine are Northern Premier League Premier and Bury NW Counties Premier.

Assuming you mean Ethan Walker, he's on loan at Morecambe for the season. So far he's made 4 appearances and scored once.

I suggest we wait until Sunday.

That side represented 11 changes from the previous league game (as did West Ham's).

It’s half term.

Oh well........

No. He had been dropped as a result of his poor form at Newcastle.

Both Luton and Cockfosters will work but you're looking at up to 90 minutes travel in from there. If you use the M40 you could look at Hillingdon - it's right on the A40 just after passing the M25, has 280 spaces and you can get to Stamford Bridge in just over an hour. Ive never use dit but it looks a good bet. There will be other tube stations along that corridor you could use as well. As it's inside the M25 is your car OK to enter the ULEZ zone? If not it's a £12.50 fee.

I think it's a bit more than a slight anomaly. We've scored 20 in 8 games but 12 of those were in two league cup games. So it's 8 in 6 league games, which is somewhat less impressive.

I don't expect that the Met Office or any other weather forecaster, will get the forecast bang on. I do believe that the majority of the time the forecast will be broadly correct 24/48 hours ahead. It's been spot on here in Preston this morning.

I don't know where the idea has come from that the weather is going to be terrible at Ewood tonight. There has certainly been a lot of rain and there is likely to be some more this afternoon but by 6pm the Met Office is forecasting sunshine with a 40% chance of a little light rain during the game.

Are there any clues as to why Schumacher made 7 changes to the team who played on Saturday, including most of his forwards? They were by all accounts a bit unfortunate to lose at Preston.
