I’d say the Jack Walker is as full, if not fuller than what we finished last season with, it’s the Blackburn End that looks quieter currently.

I’m always hopeful about our fans, a terrible decade, ripped off, but they are resilient, there is still a good fanbase there waiting to be engaged.

We’ve run out around Christmas for years. Often more has then dropped later in the season (at reduced prices just to get it flogged) - piss poor stock management.

Behave, we run out *every* season. And no other club ran out last, I know you are Swag’s knight in shining armour on here, but there is no defending his piss poor commercial operation.

Interesting use of the words ‘Spurs’ ‘always’ and ‘’compete’ there.

Owner who’s appointed himself as Director of Football… what could possibly go wrong.

The cracking boozer that is the Black Horse in Preston often has it on. Had a pint of it post PNE away… that deadened the pain a little.

Could be comp tickets, I suppose. But usually they aren’t as central as that.

It’s because we were in the top 6 all season (plus we had a fair few derbies) and the top 2 was pretty much sewn up fairly early. It was weird but there was logic behind it . But with the relegated teams this season added to the mix I wager we won’t be on anywhere near as much - unless we are in the top 2, of course!

‘It’s been like this with Sky for many years, get over it!’ But also, ‘Champions League should be for champions only’ 🤷‍♂️

Oh definitely not drinking that swill, Black Bull for my pre game scoops.

Those 9k 🍻 getting ever closer…

Same with ST sales, minimal spike for the first two signings, mega one (relatively speaking) for Sigurdsson. Obviously a very switched on fanbase when it comes to Icelandic Russian based (via Sweden) footballers.

Obviously I wouldn’t expect it to be as busy in the summer as when we’d had a 95th minute equaliser at PNE 🤦‍♂️ , but is it substantially quieter than a normal week in the season? As the transfer thread is pretty ‘Hot’ every day, especially when a transfer is imminent.

Pay day next week too. Be like a scene in Wolf of Wall Street down there.

Difficult going that far as say two unexpected teams are up at the top in March and are playing each other, Sky would quite rightly want to show that (and as a neutral I’d like to watch it too, especially if we are also challenging!).

Icelandic 🌋 eruption (no ash cloud)

Believe they are giving more notice from next season. They wouldn’t ever decide the full season in advance and I understand that as they want to show the games that have something riding on them in the run in. But up to the new year, yes why not.

I see our Chadster is finally finding his empathy button (Though reluctantly by the sounds of it 😁).

Is Dom in a Blackburn kitchen? If not, inadmissible.

More than they wouldn’t be seen dead at a home game with a load of kids with facepainted faces blowing horns and the like. It’s more about the sesh in some European city than a desperate need to watch them stroll to a win against Slovenia and the like.

Category A incoming…

Same. Normally a warm night, full of the joys of a new season, loads of kids getting to go as it’s summer hols, get to see some promising academy grads. Jumpers for goalposts, marvellous.

A few lads I know from Rovers away games are at pretty much every England away match, I’ve never known them at a home England game.

I would think so, schedule filling whilst the PL hasn’t re-started. The EFL is still the same TV deal next season.
