When?

I really dislike the "we must know everything now" era that we now appear to live in. How on earth did folk go on before the days of message boards/social media etc? Time will tell what Mowbray does/doesn't have to spend, once we get into June the window will start going crazy no doubt. Let's all go out, enjoy the sunshine, watch some of the world cup and meet up here on 1st July to see what has happened, no?

The sensible way to recruit would be to try and identify some of the better players in this division who are hungry to make the step up, and a couple of experienced championship players who have been around the block a bit and know the league. Oh, and if that Oldham right back who Mowbray was terrified of back in Feb isn't our first signing then I for one will be extremely disappointed.

I think the only thing for certain, is that the players we do eventually sign will be players that won't have even been thought of on here, and they will all be met with negativity at first. Oh, and that nobody will be paying money for Corry Evans.

Haha. The cynic in me says that the club threw that offer in because they knew damn well that there was no chance of us going up under Bowyer/Coyle, but now we appear to be moving in the right direction, under a decent manager all it takes is to sneak into 6th then a bit of luck in the play offs and all of a sudden you are up, they won't want to risk offering that this year just incase this "momentum" that everyone in the club is banging on does take us up again.

I like how everyone is assuming we're going to keep 4 at the back. It's as clear as day that Mowbray will at least start the season with his favoured 3 at the back, this way he can get Williams and Bell in the same side

Urgh Bolton. Think we have lost every game there since 2010 (6 out of 6) yet prior to that they hadn't beat us there since 2000 (played 11, won 5, drawn 6) Leaving a total record at the Reebok of played 19, won 5, drawn 6, lost 8. Horrible place, was really hoping Burton would stay up.

Obviously i don't know you from Adam, but going off your posts as a passionate Blue, i imagine you don't really have a limit either?! For me, It will cost me £380 this season for me and my 8 year old lad, we dont make every game and rarely go midweek, but its a no brainer compared to walk on prices. The only year i havent had a season ticket since the late 80's was under Coyle, and i ended up spending nearly twice as much on match tickets throughout the season. I think the club have missed a trick in some areas, and would be amazed if we hit 10k ST holders, but for me personally its still a good deal.

On another note, i read that the 1875 membership has gone up from £5 to £10 for season ticket holders next season, with only the £5 paid back as club cash.

Those will be the "early bird" prices next season. Not many folk will be prepared to pay £400 for a Blackburn End ST.

I can see why we could be one of them, i really hope not though just for the simple reason my lad loves collecting them.

Don't think so, in the Championship you can charge what you want to away fans. Unless I have missed something?

Bradley Dack has to be player of the year, he has been the difference, and can do things the rest of our squad can't. A "real footballer". Whilst I love Elliot Bennett, his never say die, all day running attitude, his passion, connection to the fans is second to none, in theory anyone can do that it's just that they choose not too. Mulgrew is a close second.

Not a chance we will do that. Unlike in this division there will be quite a few games where away fans will have the whole Darwen End I'm guessing, could easily see Villa, PNE, Leeds, WBA, Stoke, Middlesborough, both Sheffield clubs having demand for it, maybe even the likes of Derby and Forest if they were having good seasons when we play them.

The thread title is a bit misleading.

I personally think come the summer, his misses will be in his ear to get back down south as soon a poss. We'll see.

I follow is available in this country, but it's only commentary, abroad you can watch the games live (aslong as they are not selected for TV). I'm sure some people have used "creative" ways though to get around that and watch the games in this country.

The season ticket prices for next season will be the same as what they were this season after the early bird rate expired, no matter what division we end up in.

Ive seen Samuel play that role twice already this season, no thanks! He will probably keep the same formation, but do something ridiculous like put Whittingham on the right and Evans in the centre, or maybe change it up to a 442 with Dack on the right and Samuel & Graham up top.

You just know with Bennett being out it will give Mowbray licence to do something ridiculous like stick Whittingham out on the right or something.

This is where the good run comes to an end. Peterborough 2 Rovers 0 Cue melt down on here Saturday night.

Coleman and Kean were big mates yeah, think Kean worked under Coleman in Spain before he come here, infact it was Coleman to recommended that Big Sam took him on here as a coach! I think Coleman hsa come out since though and said that he was embarrassed to have recommended him here after all the shady goings on that happened once he was appointed.

Thats exactly why the club is up for sale, don't kid yourself thinking that the protests and boycotts did anything.

How do you put fear into the modern day player?

Thing is you could put Nuttall in the side, but what would you expect him to do? If that midfield 4 that played on Saturday are behind him he probably wouldn't get a touch of the ball, then everyone advocating him would be saying he's clearly not ready should have left him with the U23's etc. I could understand it if we had created 30 chances at Oldham and missed them all, then yes by all means bring him in to finish the moves off, but on Saturday we missed an open goal, and had one long range effort that came off the bar. Don't think anything else was created at all?!
