He was last one off the pitch yesterday after the game and was moving fine, so hoping he's ok.

Unfortunately the "turn the taps off" protest wasn't in flow yesterday. Blackburn End concourse was busy at half time yesterday with pints and food on show all over. Also the boycott suggestion, I asked a couple of folk around me what they thought of it and they laughed and said not a chance. "I miss some games anyway I'm not being told to miss one that I can make" was a comment made to me. Unfortunately as a fanbase I dont think we are anywhere near the "official boycott" stage.

So does this mean all the venky bots are correct that there isnt anyone out there that will touch us? Because I find that really hard to believe, if the information you have been told is correct then how do we get it out there that the club is available?!

It's not that I dont believe Glen here, but I just don't believe the information you have been told that they will sell "without hesitation". If that was true I'm sure someone would have tested them by now. They will be here for another decade unfortunately, where we will be as a club who knows.

No fan of Ismael but I think he got it right today. Was concerned when saw Litherland on the team sheet that he would be in the back 3, but thought the decision to play him wing back was a good one, protected him and kept Miller where he is most comfortable. He had a great game for his debut too i thought. I'm not sure about Millers football ability but I thought he was an absolute warrior today, got battered all over the pitch but kept on getting back up and asking for more. Hard as nails and a few more performances like that will have him as an Ewood favourite. Ohashi and Tronstad were also very good I thought, with Cantwell showing some lovely touches as the game went on. Also good to see Pickering, nothing spectacular but defended when he had to and used the ball well when in possession. A few around me were moaning about the second half being terrible but with out home form/record it was exactly as it needed to be for me, kill the game and see out the win. Enjoyable stuff.

If you had followed the last 15 years, then you will know exactly what will happen.

£28 for away fans tomorrow.

You can go to the ticket office and buy a paper ticket, but it costs you and extra £3 to do so!

If you have bought them online, I presume they will be digital tickets? If so you need to go to your email confirmation and download them into your google/apple wallet.

Exactly what we should have done with Ismael after his first few weeks in charge.

And we're still here a decade later. Fair enough for Blackpool they got through it, I bet they couldn't give a damn about us now they are sorted though. Just the way football fans are.

Yep I remember it, over 2k of them still bought tickets to go in and spent money on the concourse though.

I bet they don't. Football fans generally only really care about what is happening at there own club, despite the calls from there supporters trust I imagine they will treat it as a normal game and still turn up in fairly decent numbers, and buy plenty from the concourse. Would love to be wrong, but I just don't see it.

Just won't happen. When there and in the moment, when they are in the concourse 90% of fans will buy something without giving it a second thought.

They have form for dropping ChatGPT statements online on a Friday afternoon/evening before a game. If they do respond I imagine thats when it will be, telling everyone we're entering a crucial period and get behind the lads etc. Then when we don't win on the Saturday, it gives all the pro venkys folk ammunition to point the result as being the fans fault.

I love going as much as anyone, whether its home, away or whatever. My lad has also picked up the obsession too which makes it even better. I have never understood how folk can be so precious that they wouldn't miss one single game though, that is hopefully for the greater good. That just baffles me. The sort of people who would turn down being there best mates best man at there wedding because we're at home to Charlton or something.

Also thought we would beat Portsmouth, and didn't.

Yep for anyone that doesn't know, Thomas Freddie is the bloke who tried to set up FC Blackburn back in 2011 not long after venkys took over. He's a strange character that has gone 100% the other way, I'm guessing it's because he wants a way into the club. https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/news/9169044.rebel-rovers-fans-set-fc-blackburn/

Definitely the latter. Season tickets will be £449 in the Blackburn End next season, and that will be the early bird offering.

That to me reads that your reasoning is that we will win because we beat them last season. Why do you think we will win then when you know half the team from the 4-1 win has left and been replaced with players who aren't as good? Meanwhile Milwall sit 4th in the league?

Club have already announced that anyone who bought a ticket for the first game will get free admission to the replay. Refunds if you can't make it won't be accepted however.

It will backfire. I don't see them pivoting unfortunatly. Incredible that they even went for this game when they had that rearranged game right there in front of them, that plenty will miss anyway.

I think they have got the targeted boycott game horribly wrong unfortunately. The rearranged Sheffield Wednesday game was the one. A bleak February Tuesday night, only being played because of the club's negligence to invest in the past 15 years. It should have been that game that was targeted with the above point hammered home. A Saturday 3pm game is an incredibly tough sell to boycott as we don't get that many Saturday 3pm's as it is.

Portsmouth and Oxford have tough away games on Saturday so at least we won't be in the bottom 3 on Christmas day i suppose.

Nowhere near the end game unfortunately. Elliot too busy banging on about how rovers must "learn" from previous January windows to publish anything to do with coalition.
