So like we thought, the JW that had been pretty well populated in recent seasons was very sparse in the non-central blocks and the Riverside slightly busier. Also, the Blackburn End was far emptier on the Riverside side. Amazing the pissing about they do on an annual basis with the same c9,000 ST Holders.

There will be… it will just be sharing a ground with Darwen in non league. Balaji Rao III holding the deeds.

Saw on Facebook from somebody that there was no Sky Sports on in Blues Bar yesterday as they no longer pay the subscription. I wasn’t there so no idea if it’s true. Can anybody confirm?

Why would getting relegated cheer folk up?

Unfortunately the dawn never comes here.

We can all opine on what we would like the wage structure to be, all that matters is that the actual wage structure is and obviously that isn’t one that leads to our players signing new contracts,

So the buck for defeats no longer stops with the manager, but with individual coaches. That’s a new one.

Keeping Coyle till February is what did us, it wasn’t *that* bad a side, TM showed that. This time, it is looking like an increasingly poor team as more and more of the experienced pros feck off… and the VI factor (who I’m dubious of to say the least).

Ignoring the point again. Simple question. Why don’t our players sign new deals if we pay the going rate?

Each to our own… I’ll enjoy a couple of pints up the Black Bull pre though.

Of the many thrills of being a football fan. Waking up for the first home league game of the season is one of them… if you don’t get that thrill, why you still bothering? (And that’s the question I’m asking myself for the first time in my life this morning).

Clubs that pay the going rate for Championship players don’t go three years without having a single one of them sign a new contract.

There’s only two meeting scheduled throughout the whole season… and they have the brass neck to post this (today of all days)

Yeah, why are Wrexham bringing in all these players for decent money and wages? They not wanting to just be sustainable?

Hang on, you do know on one day a year you get 10% off in the shop… actual kit and training gear excluded, of course! Roll up, roll up with your 35 quid!

They’ll just wheel out Rob Coar in his club tie.

It’s like when your neighbour gets an expensive car. ‘Yeah, well, I heard it pretty much drinks petrol’.

On what possible metric is he ‘better than Eustace’… oh yeah, Barnsley, five years ago.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/c0j9q4xn7z1o ‘No better time to be playing in England’… unless you happened to have a contract at Blackburn Rovers, of course.

Early days, of course, but at the end of the day to keep the show on the road at this level with constant budget cuts you need a manager that does the basics well and has a good relationship with the players - I.e Eustace. It doesn’t look like this fella can/will do that so it’s looking like this may well be the year the music stops… ah well, we can be sustainable at a lower level instead, like the women.

Sounds par for the course for this regime. A first team wage for someone who spends the vast majority of season on the bench?

A player on a decent wedge, but looking like they will largely be sat on the bench? Out ya go! 👋

We’ll see on Saturday, I imagine I’ll hear the same old claptrap.

…there’s plenty of older Venky apologists in the fanbase too.

Looks like it:
