Though the Sky guide for Sky Sports + isn’t listing it, but then there is a PL game on there, so yeah, presumably red button. -

Fair enough, @Parsonblue. I recall you being quite anti-regime a few years back, but yes, I get it, last couple of years, I’ve become more Serenity Prayer myself due to life events. But unfortunately I find my approach is becoming less ‘just watching the lads’ but just instead slowly switching off from the whole thing. -
Fair enough, but why does it need connecting to your ST? You would tell him anyway if it was a tenner and the vast majority of folk that do follow the club via the Telegraph, social media, email, the internet in general can just get one without fannying about trying to find a ST Holder to buy them one.

An away end like PNE has a high percentage that don’t go to home games very often, though the ones that actually do may get together with pals that sit in different areas at home matches, plus beer and no wonder it’s far more raucous than a sparse Ewood. -

Great to be the manager at Chadster FC, never get the sack… hang on a minute, sounds familiar. -

@Parsonblue What’s your view on the owners and those running Blackburn Rovers? -
From memory I did it for my cousin the other season, may do it again (doubt he’ll be interested this season though). End of the day why pick a midweek in December when obviously it’s very difficult to attract a floating fan, why should the stipulation/onus be on being asked by/asking a ST Holder? We’ve 20,000 empty seats. Pointless hoops.

Valérien Ismaël: Blackburn Rovers Head Coach
Mattyblue replied to DE.'s topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
He’s ‘open and honest’, remember, certainly no shilling for the regime here and he definitely wouldn’t throw his players under the bus whilst doing so. -
Clubs generally are bringing higher away followings, we certainly are, so that will account for part of that slight increase, plus a fair bit of time towards the top of the league had led to a few more walk ons - but, as we just don’t sell STs in any good number it soon all falls away. Our STs have generally oscillated between 8.5k and 10k since 2012.
-
Plenty of the 8,000 have gone way past the sell the granny stage. Some midweeks you are well below that and generally many ST Holders have no qualms in missing plenty, you see that all around you. Take me, I’ll have missed five by mid December and Ipswich will be the first night game I’lll have been to all season and that’s only down to being fairly close by on Tuesday due to a work thing - I certainly doesn’t prioritise it anymore.
-
We’ve spent three out of four years knocking on the doors of the PL, ST sales haven’t budged. Indeed average crowds have hardly moved in a decade - whereas the entire game from the top flight to well into non league has boomed, so why not here then? As on the pitch it has been not bad at times. These owners are the anchor around the good ship Blackburn Rovers.

Rigger painted himself into the Markanday corner (now in the fourth division) and still won’t put his hand up that he got that one wrong.

Of course it isn’t like for like, it’s just an example of how English football is the place to be, and how potential owners are falling over themselves to get involved.
