How about the deals to those players that will actually be wanted elsewhere? I.e Travis, Tronstadt, Brittain, how they coming along?

Bloody hell rigger, you are almost as daft with this as Rev with his Tronstadt stance. Give it up 😄 Dolan has been pretty much a nailed on starter for years for a team that has spent three out of four seasons around the play off places for the Premier League - Markanday is still being loaned out to League 1 and 2… and he’s three months older!

The pointless angst we’ve had re all things Fans Forum all the years, ‘where ARE those minutes! (me included BTW!)… largely to then read a load of deflection and waffle from clowns like Swag.

You’ve never forgot that, Gav. 😄 To be fair my surprise was more the fact it sold out quickly for a 12pm game on a Sunday, not that we could sell out an away end in far flung, err, Yorkshire for an FA Cup quarter final! I shouldn’t have been really as fans these days are so used to stupid kick off times it makes no difference for a big game.

Not sure about that, largely because half the league is now Bournemouth, Brentford, Fulham, Brighton, Palace etc who wouldn’t be fetching too many up to Ewood (especially when you’ll have very few 3pm games). We would only get close to sell outs outside the big boy games if they went back to the ‘Taking Back Ewood’ campaigns, i.e cheap STs in order to have Rovers fans in all stands outside the Darwen End Upper (and that won’t happen under this regime as they would totally misjudge the fanbase like usual and try and charge top whack). A Brentford at 5.30pm would see 20k at best without a Taking Back Ewood.

Russell Martin still in line for gigs and budgets at a decent level? Pep-Ball some way to run yet then, *sigh*

Presumably they’ll now be asking for an extra 400 or so considering the bottom tier allocation is normally c2,900?

Saved their bacon has Val these past couple of weeks, get him a new five year deal ASAP.

Rudy’s signing for the special delivery in the shop.

People ‘slagging him off’ on here for years don’t understand this division. Good player at this level and grafts his arse off week in week out. The wage he’s been on relative to other nailed on first teamers has been a joke for years and no wonder he’s looking elsewhere.

End of the day they don’t sack managers so all you can do is hope that this guy can produce the goods as we’d need to be hurtling towards League 1 before they’d even countenance potting him (and when/if they bothered doing that it would inevitably be too late).

Season ticket phase 1 deadline is supposedly the end of this week and we have a huge game in five days and they don’t open the ticket office. Only at Venky Rovers.

Even in our glory days we had that stinker of a Wilcox penalty in another FA Cup quarter final over there.

No Sky will always focus on the relegation battle over who wins the title (would have been different if automatic promotion itself was still up for grabs).

Sounds about right to me, I’d assume the extra 1k would go on sale Monday/Tuesday.

If that is the case, surely the club should’ve put that on the website Saturday evening alongside the match report/interviews etc, instead of having folk still hoping to get one Monday morning.

Have we actually sold out? The online allocation has gone over the weekend but perhaps the ticket office staff will add more in the morning?

Their core fanbase isn’t particularly large, however they will always see thousands coming out the woodwork if they get some momentum on the pitch - just the way it is when you are based in the UK’s second biggest city.

Oh I see, thought he was on about me talking about searches. Yep what I said is 100% true, you can call it ‘pouring cold water’ if you want, DLP, but most protest against the regime *won’t happen* at Ewood (especially if the team is doing well) - simple as that. So don’t give the regime ammunition that there’s no support for protest if one man and his dog turn up for them and get behind what Glen is doing instead.

They’ll be kicking themselves they didn’t wait till the usual release date (I.e about now at the earliest), they would have ridden out the dissent if they had.

Maybe Gestede and Talbot can try a job swap?

Sorry? When have I ever said that?

Title of the emails in CAPITALS too… must be desperate

Masher, do you want to outline the views of The 8?
