Another one.. we’ve lost as many games as bottom of the table West Brom.

Best get those half ST’s on sale!

‘It’s their cup final’ made my laugh, yeah real one way rivalry, this one 😁

*All* message boards…

You know what as time has gone on I’m thinking more and more like that first poster. I’m a born and bred Blackburner but by luck or chance I’ve never really encountered Dingles at school, work, local neighbours etc. Work wise I’ve always come across far more Nob Enders who are a right bitter bunch towards all things Rovers. So I don’t have that fear that many others have re running into them at work, the pub etc. Of course I’ve always seen Burnley as our arch rivals, of course I desperately want us to win, but maybe it’s an age thing, maybe it’s because we are no longer the undisputed top dogs with a fear of losing The Record, but I can honestly say I’m far more sanguine going into this game than the previous ones.

Yeah not sure they had short sleeves and matching collars in 1875 😀

Could well be, so ‘The Tony Parkes Academy/STC’ it is then… oh, wait a minute, he wants to knock those down too!

Maybe I should offer up more of my ideas to Swag. (No tea would be supped though, obviously!)

His opinion is that’s it’s a great idea from the club. Oh and Song 2 is his favourite song.

I’ve absolutely no idea why this Riverside renaming can is still being kicked down the road, it’s now nearly three *years* since it was first brought to their attention as an idea will big fan support. JFDI!

Well there’s how we differ. I saw that promotion as a means to an end. I would never ‘enjoy’ seeing Blackburn Rovers in the third division.

We won’t know what kind of PL club we’ll be until we get there. This debate started because J*B was questioning wanting promotion at all. A crazy attitude. But if it takes a couple of promotions and relegations to build up the club, to become a club that can always compete at the top end of this division and attempt to make a fist of the PL in the medium term, then so be it. It will lead to bigger crowds, bigger incomes, better players, better infrastructure. Infinitely better than this decade of stasis we’ve endured…

We’ve spent a decade down here largely in mid table, so has this club been ‘competing’, even at this low level since 2012? I’d rather be non competing at the top table.

You keep giving the ball away, keep mis-controlling the ball and you’ll get groans, that’s football crowds, everywhere, for every player. But in general the fans were right behind him. A patient, supportive lot here, the fans needs more credit from a few on here (and on wider social media with the constant slagging our fans get on it from fellow fans).

Won’t be ‘the training ground’, just a pitch as per a previous Swag idea before he kicked the whole thing in to the overgrown Brockhall grass for two years…

‘It had been suggested previously that the Riverside Stand could be renamed in honour of club legend Parkes. However, CEO Steve Waggott has now suggested that the training ground or a room within Ewood Park is more likely.’ Why is it ‘more likely’?

It looks as if ‘the club’ want to move away from Dack, so for Chaddy that unquestionably makes it the right decision. That’s literally it, so not sure why folk are attempting to debate him on it day after day…

We’ve spent most of this past decade treading water in second division mid table, in what way is that preferable to finishing, say, 15th to 17th in the PL?

Remember when some on here tried to make out Nuttall just needed more starts… now plying his trade for the team bottom of the Conference.

The mask always slips a bit from Longers when derby day approaches.

The fans will ‘give him a chance’. Rovers’ match going fans are a patient bunch. But if a handful of folk on here say he’s no good, so what? But in reality it’s JDT that needs to keep giving him chances, and as he’s showing, if you don’t step up, you don’t play - see JRC and Edun for examples of that.

Can spend a full day in the stadium. Watch a match in the afternoon, then take in the public beheadings in the evening…

😁 Very salty this morning Tyrone. Good to know I have a niche though… (The irony of a certain poster liking it though, as half of the posts were attempting to explain a fairly simple issue to said poster who seems a little hard of understanding).

Yorkshire? It wishes! It’s got about half the population of that place on t’other side of the Pennines! The brazenness of the corruption really is astounding…

They’ve come down and bought top level players for this division. Just what we would expect as they have a bigger budget than non parachute clubs. Not sure what you are disagreeing with me about?
