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/

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…
