It’s a whole quid cheaper than what we charge for a night game. Of course it’s good to see a sensible price for a Saturday match for once, and we will see a decent enough gate as a result, but it isn’t a mega discounted price that would see a massive uplift on normal.

Any chance you could do a similar stat for previous seasons? Midweek aways have felt like a write off for years!

Their release was perfectly timed for a good take up last season, put on sale just as we embarked on that charge up the table… let’s hope they don’t coincide with the opposite this time!

We’ve lost every single red button away game since it was introduced.

You hardly go to away games so obviously it doesn’t impact you, you can nicely settle down to watch it on your sofa, so what’s the problem? But guess what, it is an inconvenience to those that spend every other weekend travelling the country supporting their club and spending good money, I.e those Cardiff fans that now have to be up at 5am on NYD. How about thinking of those that show such commitment for their club for one millisecond? Yes, ‘it is how it is’, but because it has been ‘like this for years’ doesn’t automatically make it right and mean the loyalty of football fans is not being exploited.

If they are a loanee it is a purely short term transactional relationship for both sides. Harvey Elliott and Morton, helping us to win football matches, whilst getting to develop as players, which is for the benefit of their parent club. Win, win. Whereas Clarkson, he wasn’t up to it, so he went back, no hard feelings, but that’s the name of the game with loanees, so if Hurst can’t step up soon, then why waste everybody’s time?

I remember when it was just shelves behind a counter in the Nuttall Street and you’d just point at a hat or scarf… still better quality than the tat the ‘store’ has now.

Remember when festive period fixtures were local/local-ish games? Now we have Cardiff and their fans having to get to Ewood for noon on NYD. The complete contempt the football authorities and their paymasters have for supporters has never been more clear.

An England forum? Sounds horrendous 😁

Nah, Wings for me…

What are the factors?

What’s your favourite song?

Confirmed for Coventry… https://www.rovers.co.uk/news/2022/october/31/rovers-can-confirm-that-tomorrow-s-game-against-coventry-city-will-take-place-at-the-coventry-building-society-arena--kick-off-7-45pm--the-club-would-like-to-thank-supporters-for-their-patience-and-understanding-over-the-past-few-days---tuesday-s-ticketing-and-travel-operation-will-be-as-originally-planned---fans-who-are-yet-to-purchase-a-ticket-for-the-game-can-pay-on-the-day-from-the-coventry-building-society-arena-/

Travis and Nyambe. Lenihan is about three years older, Raya a couple.

Maybe, just maybe, music is a matter of personal taste…

*Fake Lancashire.

Because the stadium is owned by a Wasps holding company that is about to go into administration. So not actually connected to Coventry’s own financial issues.

He really wasn’t ‘rank awful’ though, was he? A steady eddy, but it had all got stale, so I think we all agree that it was time to move on. But some of the hyperbole he attracts on here is just strange and not reflected at all in the real world, where generally fans think he did a decent enough job.

You seriously reckon Ossydave actually thinks we’ll stroll to an easy win? Behave.

‘Easy three points’ away at the side top of the league with one defeat all season? Obviously nobody thinks that, whereas plenty of yours do look as if they reckon promotion is in the bag already…

What was Longers saying the other day? That their lot didn’t think they were up already? So see thread debating if they’ll go up with a record points total… https://www.uptheclarets.com/messageboard/viewtopic.php?style=2&f=2&t=65241

Their crowds have shot up the past few years (whose haven’t ay… oh wait!), so trying to move mid season to small grounds like a Walsall or Northampton will prove difficult with 12k or so ST holders to potentially accommodate (though how many would want to traipse across the midlands on a Tuesday night is a different issue).

Sharpe has totally nicked his stats from this thread. https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/23087923.blackburn-rovers-bizarrely-brilliant-unusually-unique-season-far/
