That’s football, nothing lasts forever and perhaps was time for a change. But that statement. Piss poor stuff from a club ‘that does things the right way’. Those two absolutely transformed a club that was equivalent to a Clitheroe when they got hold of it. You’d imagine it was rushed out post a pissed up Holt rant. Possibly something more fitting will be posted tomorrow.

Can you imagine. Radio Lancs don’t even have the budget to send a co-commentator to away games these days - case in point Brett Ormerod sitting back in the studio with a 10 second delay yesterday.

Like a horde on The Walking Dead.

To be fair most on here (maybe not the lemmings on wider social media) were aghast by his comments in his big eve of KO interview… but looking back he was merely stating the truth. This club has no ambition outside not being in League 1 and ‘developing’ players - and it hasn’t tried very hard to even fulfil ambition 1. To paraphrase den, ‘operate like Crewe, become Crewe’.

I have. Think I’ve been on here too long, I have a fair few catchphrases. 😄 But yes, it doesn’t matter one bit if he gets results, so crack on, John, but if you don’t mind I won’t waste my time listening to you either.

What was your signature phrase back in the day, den?

‘They literally can’t be any worse’… oh they can!

Tuesday maybe not to any great extent as a load of regulars will serve it. Plymouth, definitely. The only ‘brainless’ folk are the ones that have undergone a Venky lobotomy post about 2017z

Thought it was just me. Tried one interview and it was a banal collection of cliches largely consisting of ‘Blackburn’ ‘you know’ ‘togetherness’, ‘Hedgy’, ‘Pearsy’ etc etc 🙄 I’m back to swerving all their pre and post match tripe like I’ve been for every Venky appointment, JDT aside.

Very curt statement considering 25 years of service taking them from the Northern Premier (tier 7) to at their best not a million miles away from the League 1 playoffs. Holt must’ve been on the ale last night again.

Unfortunately a good chunk of the fanbase don’t have said half a brain cell and it will be JDT that gets the blame.

So doing what he’s paid to do? 👏

‘We win together, we lose together’ didn’t last long, did it…

Have to pick up wins against Millwall and Plymouth (or 4 points at least), as I certainly can’t see where many more are coming from after that - can’t see the four points either considering we’ve one win in fourteen. One of the biggest weeks for many years coming up… yet the people who actually own the club couldn’t give a flying fuck about it.

We were told he was improving?

Wait for the ‘it doesn’t matter, nobody calls us that outside the area’. Yep, quite right, they don’t, which means it’s a canny little move if he does start to do so himself - JDT cottoned on to that straight away, and to be fair Mogga did from time to time.

Yep, there’ll be a Waggott Close, Venus Drive, Rovers Fold.

‘Only difference’ from Ke*n. Aye, almost two peas in a pod, aren’t they…

They burned through the first Wharton instalment already?

11 major trophies won in the town of Blackburn… not bad considering ‘it’s not a football town’.

Often see that for big games. Loads of folk obviously just buy a ticket anywhere in the stand and head straight for N01

Of course the figure is right. The Riverside was fuller for Watford, the JW and Blackburn End were just as busy though. Which makes sense as there were about 1k more home fans in the ground that day over last night. Got to say I don’t remember any conspiracy theories on here post that game though. 😅

Obviously isn’t nonsense. Both end blocks of the lower tier were pretty much empty, the middle corporate block (Blackburn End side) was at least half empty. The far corners weren’t totally full. The crowd has to be reported to the police and the SAG. We were 8,000 short of capacity, simple as that.

Of course it does, we were 8,000 short of capacity, not 10k which the JW holds. As I said before - 3,000 in the BEnd Upper, 100 or so in the lower, 500 in the Darwen End, c2,000 in the JW, c2000 or so in the Riverside. Add corporate, disabled etc to that and seems fair enough to me. No conspiracy here.

Yeah the fact we had 27,600 for Oxford when there were certainly 2,000 empty seats in the Darwen End and a fair few in the BEnd Upper says there’s no funny business going on. Think we are so used to rattling around at Ewood we over-estimate the gate for such games as the ground ‘looks and feels’ much fuller than usual.
