Don't disagree, but we played Stockport on the Friday night last season before Girona on the Saturday, i still imagine we will have an Ewood friendly for the Saturday after Stockport this year like we did last season.

Also the premier inn accross from the train station which can be fairly cheap at times which is a 20/30 min walk to Ewood depending on your pace.

And now we play for draws against Plymouth and Milwall at home, with our captain telling us to calm down.

Cheap child tickets mean nothing if the adult can't afford to pay for his/her ticket to take them.

Matt Ryan isn't happening in a million years.

No he played for over an hour.

They can on bank holiday days, which is what he meant.

That's exactly what it is, some will wake up to it one day.

Great days, the season after we went there and won fairly comfortably too.

It's a nice fantasy, but as Matty said I agree I just can't see a day when these lot aren't owners.

Are there still taxi's driving around Blackburn with the 18-19 pricing advertised all over them? There was around this time last year when I jumped in one.

I think they did, but they also gave themselves more time last season by getting them on sale more than two months earlier than this. I'd like to think it will happen but won't hold my breath.

Be nice if they extended the early bird deal for another month considering they only gave folk one pay day to get them sorted. I don't want to hear about "8/9 month finance" options either due to the ridiculous arrangement fee they charge.

I hope he manages to win a home game this coming season.

Yep most optimism around the place for years this time last year, if they had priced them at £299 a year ago we would easily have hit Preston's numbers.

Over 5k sold according to Rovers. Let the good times roll.

Venkys don't have any policy. It's all made up and changed on a wim on a regular basis.

I mean it's quite clearly not going to happen. All this recruitment shake up nonsense was designed again to make sure we're late to the party with any signings with excuses, so yourself and many others can say "let's judge them after 3 windows" only for the entire thing to be ripped up again no doubt. No excuse culture at this club though apparently.

Still think we will have 2 or 3 new faces in before pre season training starts?

Haha. They can talk about them names all they want, and I'm not doubting you that they might be, but I can confidently say that not one of those will sign for us.

It's not really them I am writing off.

It goes a lot deeper than a new head of recruitment coming in. If we end up spending over £5m and end up with a better championship squad on August 31st than we had on May 4th, then please come back and I will admit defeat. I don't think you will though somehow.

I'm just amazed that after 14 years of absolute nonsense that there are still folk out there and on here that think a little shake up of the recruitment team will bring some fresh new dawn to the club and positive change. It won't.

With the exception of the league one game, we haven't won on boxing day since 2006.

Doesn't really confirm. He is "expected" to have money he says, I think that's purely guess work from Elliot.
