Saw Ste B recently he is near me in N03. Glenn only goes very occasionally I believe, seems more into his ice hockey with his lad these days. Lee Grooby not seen for years, heard that he packed Rovers in due to how he was treated when he left the club but don't know if thats 100% true.

Sheffield Wednesday won't have told us to take tickets off sale 6 days before the game. It's because the whole club closes down at 4pm today and isn't back open until Tuesday the 30th, so they have taken the easy option of just taking them off sale. It's pretty ridiculous, especially with it being a digital ticket game so nobody needs to get them in the post or collect them from Ewood.

Exactly, so there is no point getting at the club for ignoring the letter when the match gong fans have ignored it too.

Not a chance.

Unfortunately, judging by Saturday it's been completely ignored by the vast majority of the match going fanbase too.

I still think we do need one centre back in January, ideally someone fairly experienced who can play in the middle of a back 3. You just can't rely on Wharton and Carter anymore, and I would be looking to move at least one of them on in the summer if we can. For me, I think even more important is that we move on Gueye and bring in two strikers. now we play with two up front. I like the look of the lad at Plymouth Tolaj, but imagine with only just going there we wouldn't be able to get him.

That was at Sunderland! Nonsense from the LT, you play your best players. Remember folk saying similar when Kaminski got injured in 2023 and Pears came in for a run in the side, although Pears didn't do a lot wrong it was crazy to have him starting with Kaminski on the bench.

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/
