  1. ‘We win together, we lose together’ didn’t last long, did it…
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Yep, there’ll be a Waggott Close, Venus Drive, Rovers Fold.
  5. ‘Only difference’ from Ke*n. Aye, almost two peas in a pod, aren’t they…
  6. They burned through the first Wharton instalment already?
  7. 11 major trophies won in the town of Blackburn… not bad considering ‘it’s not a football town’.
  8. Often see that for big games. Loads of folk obviously just buy a ticket anywhere in the stand and head straight for N01
  9. 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. 😅
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. Forest about 31,367. From memory the highest crowd the ‘new’ Ewood has ever had was something like 30,800 against Liverpool in the 90s - a complete sell out. So that gives you 8,000 empty seats on Tuesday. 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.
  14. They have to detour to Nottingham first as it’s been double booked by some Liverpool fans.
  15. He often looks fecked one way or another after a game and you’re thinking ‘that’s him out the next game’… and then he plays - even four hours after his Missus has a kid.
  16. If any game happens to be 0-0 at half time he *always* says something on the lines of ’it’s not been great’. The nuances of football still seem to be lost on him.
  17. I’m sure that’s the plan, but there’s no question that game will have taken it out of them. So 12 hours on a bus ain’t going to help.
  18. Odd people at the ground will always have it in for certain players. My uncle used to go mad about MGP every week! First world problems ay! But generally Pears has been supported just like all players are at Ewood. Very supportive crowd.
  19. So during the game then? So like every thread of every game on every forum. Get a life.
  20. Easy enough, make a game in the run in a tenner - I.e Ipswich on Good Friday. Though doubt they will as they’ll be sniffing a decent following from them, but there are others, perhaps Coventry at the end of April, but they probably won’t as they’ve already put on sale the 1/5 ST starting with the Plymouth game. The support is there, it’s long dormant, but only success on the pitch or enticing prices or both will get folk back. Going from October to March with one Saturday home win and £400-£500 STs (£25-£35 walk up) certainly won’t do the trick.
  21. Boro?! They have 44 points already. 13 games to get six points (if it even gets to 50 to survive). Don’t think they need to be planning their trip to Lincoln just yet.
  22. Be interesting to know how he is going to approach training over the next week. After a humongous effort over 120 minutes straight into two massive games on Saturday/Tuesday with a horrendous coach trip to Swansea thrown in. Minimal exertion and work on the tactical side you’d think… flying to south Wales too would help, but considering they won’t even pay the M6 Toll far more chance of 🐖 flying.
  23. Ignore him, arbito. Make up something negative about brfcs-ers for a reaction has been 1864’s style ever since he made a fool of himself on here post the Ewood Coffee Club. Don’t feed…
