I'd drive myself insane if I tried to find that stat ?
-
Nearly 5 years to the day. October 25th 2014 away at Nottingham Forest, 1-0 down at half time ended up in a 3-1 win. We managed to do it once in league one, away at Peterborough in December 2017, 1-0 down at half time to end up winning 3-2.
-
Another stat to add to the opening post is this... We haven't come from behind to win an away game at this level since October 2014 ?

4 Gestede headers wasn't it? Bank Holiday Monday, £10 a ticket, even on the day too as I made a last minute decision to go, In the middle of a long unbeaten run to try and sneak in the play offs, it had all the makings of a huge "walk on away following". Then Good Friday happened, and we played for a 0-0 (and succeeded too) with bottom of the table Yeovil at Ewood. The more things change the more they stay the same.

Every interview you hear/see with a Rovers player after a dismal performance seems to go back to "not being to far away" and getting some "consistency" going, but the bit I have highlighted is why you will never see any kind of consistency in the side because Mowbray decides to make 3 or 4 changes every game just to keep people happy.

The Relegation Thread (15th edition)
MarkBRFC replied to jim mk2's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
We'll keep limping on, winning once in every 4 or 5 games or so just to give us enough of a cushion to be sucked into any real trouble, whilst others tell us we're only 6 points, 7 points, 8 points etc off the play offs with every passing week. -
Another game passes where we concede first and don't win, and do absolutely nothing in 4 minutes of injury time apart from a few non descript balls to no one.

Huddersfield - Saturday Lunch for Sky

Our last injury time winner in the league was February 2017 under Coyle. -

Team will be interesting. Only certainty's are that Bennett, Downing, Armstrong & Dack will all play. Rothwell won't play, then the rest of the selection/formation will be anyones guess. -
Oh give over Chaddy stop being so naïve, Of course he had input in it.

Exactly my thoughts and why I'm going really. As Stuart says, huge away followings need games that capture the imagination, all the novelty of the league one games captured that imagination, likely to win, new grounds for this generation etc. Preston away under Lambert, felt like something was happening with our first "real manager" for years. Preston away last season, we'd had a pretty decent start to the season and the spike from promotion season was still there. This season at Preston feels like when we went there under Coyle, think less than 3k went that day? We all know that we'll turn up, most players will be out of position, the same undroppable players will be playing, with the same bizarre tactics, we'll likely go a goal behind in 20 minutes and that will be that. As Matty says the club is in a huge rut, on and off the field.

I want to know what happened to that Oldham right back, the one that was so good/dangerous that we had to play both Williams and Bell at home against them just to nullify him.

It was a championship game against Leicester that he started, which we actually won! But yes the general point still remains. Very strange. -

That attitude runs through the whole club in my opinion. -
Not surprising really is it, I saw a number of less than 1500 on Twitter earlier. Rovers fans are notoriously late at buying for local fixtures so obviously expect more than that will turn up in the end, but it just shows that the apathy from the owners/management/players has finally made it all way down to the away following, which up until now has held out pretty well since our third division season. No doubt it will turn into some Rovers fans slating our support though ?

Cringiest moments in Rovers history?
MarkBRFC replied to Amo's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
When that idiot made monkey gestures to Dwight Yorke as he was warming up ? -
Glory hunting ? Everything aligned on that day, it was one of the very rare "occasion" matches at Ewood in recent years where it was the last day of the season, £10 a ticket, bank holiday weekend, glorious day weatherwise, late afternoon kick off, and the promise of a "promotion celebration day". A lot probably made a day or weekend of it, a lot of exiled fans probably came over with it being a rare day. I honestly think they could make it £10 every game and there wouldn't be that much of an increase if we're still plodding about between 12th & 16th in this league.
-
We had just won a promotion, and it was £10 a ticket.

Why not just charge Sheff Wed £40 for the darwen end upper and keep home prices what they usually are? The like for like seats are the in the Blackburn end upper and we don't open that up anyway, so it can be done. Sure we would have to charge them £28 or whatever it is in the lower should they sell out, but are they going to bring more than 3k at £40? I wouldn't have thought so. Ask Waggott that at the next FF please.
-
1875 members get £15 off for the Sheff Wed game too.
-
Yeah I remember that clearly. They used to sell us upper's first at £33 or whatever it was which seemed ridiculous back then, then the lower tier tickets were around £10 cheaper. Remember one year (06-07 I think) when everyone caused a massive stink about it and we got allocated the lowers first, as we had only charged them £15 for the game at Ewood!
-
Sheffield Wednesday have just released ticket details for there game at Ewood in a few weeks, £40 for the Darwen End Upper. What I don't understand is, why are home prices increased for this fixture then we don't have too? We can get away with charging £40 for away fans as we don't open up the Blackburn end Upper anyway which would be the "like for like" seats. Then if they sell those out, they can have lower tier tickets at £28 or whatever it would be normally in the Blackburn End Lower.

All meaningless though, any player at any club will say exactly the same thing. As others have said, the proof is what happens on the pitch, and I haven't seen any sense of urgency from this bunch for a while now.
