Lot different than a day at Elland Road, but very similar to a lot of Championship grounds…

The average gate was 26k the year this lot bought the club. You aren’t getting close to that kind of crowd for a Wednesday night game in March against an opposition who’ll bring 400. You would need 17,000 walk ons! Now if they’d chosen the game against a play off rival on Good Friday, that would’ve been a totally different issue…

7 academy grads in the squad yesterday…

I think the ‘morgue’ atmosphere is overplayed a bit. It is the same at every ground of club’s treading water - the likes of say Stoke or Cardiff are the same. It’s certainly not a unique Rovers phenomenon.

Blackpool fan has died after an incident in The Manchester pub according to their AVFTT forum…

No it wasn’t just that. It was also a ‘false position’ and we’d soon be 10th, just like usual… but there is no ‘usual’ when it’s a different fella in charge.

All that ‘false position’ stuff and taking the piss out of others for merely pointing out that ‘we are 3rd’ was always a bit silly. This fella isn’t TM and even in bad runs of form we were still picking up odd wins, no death spirals with this mon.

Contract law, another area full of brfcs expertise 😁

Maybe that’s the improvement he is talking about, we had 8k buying at those prices, now we have 9k and Swag hit his bonus. Doubles all round when he next visits his office…

So what has improved commercially?

… another 8 appearances at L1 level now without a goal (he’s having a run of games and everything!)

This cock up by the incompetents at Ewood is going to be the biggest thing to hit football since the Bosman ruling… not like our Merce to engage in hyperbole 😁

Jim’s buzzing and now Phil’s back! Something is definitely brewing…

They have around 14k ST holders, so surely even a 5/6k allocation would get nowhere near general sale and still be regulars…

‘Mass disorder’! 😁 Sounds about right for Lancs Police. Amazing how other forces, i.e Glasgow, seem to manage policing high profile derbies without ridiculous restrictions…

*Murdoch sold Sky about five years ago. F*ck that American conglomerate Comcast!

Be amazed if they are not well up by then, it’s the third last game remember… winning the title on the other hand? 😟

Bigger TV ratings at 5pm… so obviously the actual match going fans can lump it!

BBC and ITV will still be arguing about who gets to show Man Utd live for the 423rd consecutive tie…

Definitely. You have parachute clubs with that bit of extra ability, then there’s 12/15 clubs of similar (pretty average) quality.

‘No pace’ a couple on there are saying… Christ the Championship must be played at snails pace then!

No need to panic buy some crap flowers at a petrol station… you’ll be on the ale in Sheffield instead!

Believe the U21s will now play the day before/after the first team.

I suppose Cardiff was only a couple of years after being there for an actual final so no novelty factor either. But as we said on the other thread, never know with Rovers fans…

Difficult one. Semi-finals shouldn’t be there as we all know and there’s that back of your mind hope of getting to the actual final if a kind draw and the play off final too. But on the flip side first ever trip to the new Wembley. I’d wager c25k.
