  1. The Dingles have gotten into the same lull with attendances/away followings that we had in the mid 00's. The novelty of being a fairly comfortable top flight side has worn off, and the ones I know sometimes even say how boring it is turning upto games that you just know you have no chance of winning etc.
  2. Wigan and Forest were both night games, we drew with Wigan 0-0 and drew with Forest 1-1, so we didn't win them all, Well that's a ridiculous question, of course everyone would want to go to Wembley, it would be a special occasion. Are you saying that the people who pick and choose there games and don't take up a £100 six game bundle shouldn't be at Wembley if we got there?
  3. Chaddy you are still missing the overall point with this. Yes, if you were going to each game separately then of course its great value, but I can't imagine there is many out there that go to every home game on a match by match basis, these would already be season ticket holders by now I'm sure. The Leeds and WBA games could easily be moved for TV yet, and that would make half of the games available on TV. The value then will suddenly diminish. If people wanted to pay a big outlay in one go, then they would already be half or full season ticket holders. I remember us doing something in 08/09 towards the end of the season, we opened up the whole Darwen End lower to home fans and made it £30 for three games, I think the fixtures were Wigan, Portsmouth and WBA. They are the sort of offers needed to make any kind off impact on attendances, along with a £10 game thrown in now and then. £250 for a family of four for six games? People are just not going to pay it.
  4. Remember going to that one in 2001, Dunny was captain. To be honest never mind u21's, if Leicester and Southampton's ground can host a full international why can't Ewood?
  5. Accrington Stanley season ticket's go on sale Monday 2nd March. I bet we haven't given it an ounce of thought yet. Imagine if we got to the play off final, it would be July before they would be on sale.
  6. Is it possible Carter gets a game when Lenihan gets suspended, seeing as he was on the bench at Charlton? Anyone who watches the u23's that can tell us what kind of player he is?
  7. That's my Fantasy Premier League team name ?
  8. West Brom have put there season tickets for next season on sale today.
  9. Tosin is somebody I could see going on loan to say a Southampton next season, and being bought by them for like £20m a year later, only for City to pay double that a couple of years after that to sign him back if he impresses. No chance is Walton is playing in the top flight next season, so fee depending that could be doable.
  10. With two home games to follow against average teams.... i really dont mean to put a downer on things because I'm ecstatic tonight but we know what happened the last time we started to believe, six without a win!
  11. It's no coincidence in my opinion that we score 5 goals without Gallagher galloping up and down the wing not having a clue what he's meant to be doing. Really hope he's not back in the side next week.
  12. 3 points off the play offs. He said we were 6 points off 3rd. Anyway great win, concerned that with one more booking a two game ban is looming for Lenihan. The back 5 have been superb of late, could really do without it being interrupted!
  13. I certainly understand the point given our owners track record, but it doesn't mean we should cling on to him until he doesn't fancy it anymore. I think he's done ok, and achieved what I would probably expect results wise so far during his time here despite some horrendous runs and baffling team selections, It sounds harsh considering what went on before him, but I do think he should have kept us up in his first few months though. But I honestly think, If Tony Mowbray is the glass ceiling for this club then it's probably time to pack it in.
  14. Well we'll see. History proves £10 games have an impact on attendances, and history also proves that these 8/6/4 game bundles have no impact at all.
  15. If you have £100 you can spare, or say £250 for a family then yes, but I'd wager people who wanted to make a big outlay in one go are already season ticket/half season ticket holders. Plus its quite possible that half of those games will be available on TV. WBA on easter Monday for £10 a ticket is much more attractive to the floating fan, or fan who cant make that commitment to get to Ewood all the time.
  16. Charlton is all seater. Are you thinking about Brentford the week after?
  17. The only other televised game I can think of with Tugay scoring is the 7-1 against West Ham in 2001, can't imagine Andy Gray would have been on commentary for that one though.
  18. I think if we had hit over 3k, the club wouldn't have stopped tweeting about it etc. I think it was around 1400 sold at the start of the week, so if we can get close to 2k it's a decent effort.
  19. Seemed a bit sharper than usual last night albeit against a poor side. Hopefully it's not a case of him being an unused sub for the next three weeks and he gets another good half hour on Saturday to push him towards starting a few matches. Although he hasn't looked up to much in previous cameos, I do think Mowbray has managed him terribly so far.
  20. Bare in mind he was only in charge for the first 7 games.
  21. I didn't really enjoy the first half, sure we had a lot of possession and a few chances but I felt we were in for another of those nights. Mowbray's subs are often bizarre, but I thought the two last night gave us a lot more energy for the final half hour and worked well, Brereton and Samuel looked hungry, but we have to take into account how poor the opposition were. Armstrong is on his way to getting my vote for player of the season, some fantastic goals this season and when he gets going he takes some stopping. Funny league this, after writing the season off on Saturday, two big results for us tonight and all of a sudden it could be all to play for again.
  22. Two woeful corners from that Maddison there. What a horrible game.
  23. When was this magical hour that I see mentioned every now and then?! Looking back, I can only find us in the top 6 of this league twice since relegation in 2012. 22/08/12 - 06/10/12 Just after relegation, we bounced around in the play off positions for around 6 weeks or so, even spending a week at the top of the table. 22/11/14 - 06/12/14 Two weeks spent in 6th place after a 10 game unbeaten run, we then lost 2-1 to Sheff Wed at Ewood and never got anywhere near again.
  24. I imagine Bennett takes JRC's place in the side, and Buckley takes Bennett's place on the bench.
  25. I was talking about this at the game yesterday and how concerning it is. Due to the utter mismanagement of our first team squad, it will look like this at the end of the season unless any of our lads out of contract sign new deals before then. I'm taking into consideration players who have played first team games or have squad numbers... GK - Fisher Defence - Nyambe, Lenihan, Mulgrew, Wharton, Magloire, Williams Midfield - Bennett, Chapman, Travis, Evans, Johnson, Davenport, Rankin-Costello, Buckley, Rothwell, Holtby, Dack (probably not available until Christmas) Strikers - Armstrong, Gallagher, Brereton, Butterworth Now, I suspect Bell and Downing might get offered new deals, so we could probably add those back to the list. I personally think we will need 6 players of good quality just to stay as a plodding mid table side let alone a non existent push for the top 6. A GK, two centre halves, a left back, a wide player and a Striker. What's the betting Mowbrays first signing of the summer is an attacking midfielder?
