It’s £15, not a £5. Only a fiver dearer than Wednesday. So why would 8000 non ST holders suddenly emerge to buy a ticket for a mid table second division game in November? (Especially on the back of that complete debacle).

He doesn’t work on the defence, Danny Graham confirmed that on Radio Lancs the other month.

End of the day, he didn’t go anywhere in the midst of that horror run last season, when even TM himself was as good as begging to be put out of his misery. So there’s not a chance he goes with us a few points from the play offs, though we know the 2 points away will soon be 4 then 6 then 8… He’ll be here to see out his contract… and it’s not out of the realms that he’s offered another.

Aye, any kind of decent result last night would have seen a bit of a surge before Saturday.. can wave goodbye to that now.

Ha you reckon?

Performances are another thing the owners ‘have no knowledge of’ then, I take it - like the attempted houses on Brockhall?

Yes, to get ‘their’ own man in… TM already is.

10th under Souness, but we won a cup though… and 6th the year after.

As does David Dunn, you find most ex pros do, even if they are local, just how we are known within the game itself.

It grates… just saying

Oh but you do. ‘Low block’, ‘pivots’ and all the rest of the jargon is just that. They are not revolutionary new ways of playing the game, just re-badged aged old tactics, but it keeps the new army of analysts, both professional and the Twitter amateurs busy.

Apropos of noting, but speaking of Stergiakis, at least he actually stands between the sticks from time to time. With no pure reserve team football anymore and the plethora of young keepers on the books, plus our tendency to exit cup competitions as rapidly as possible, Pears pretty much never plays a game… great work if you can get it, but a bloody odd career all the same.

Probably, panic buying from a club with plenty of cash… enter NUFC January 2022.

Great preview! Just seen that they won’t be allowed any more tickets as Rovers have said it isn’t ‘financially viable’. Err Ok.

About £22 million (and this was the late 90s, not the 2020s) on Ward, Blake, Dailly and Davies. We didn’t half throw Jack’s cash down the toilet in that debacle of a year that inevitably ended in a calamitous relegation.

Good preview, but… *Rovers*

‘Lancs minnows’… haughty stuff from a club with less than a third of our trophy count.

Even their massive ‘M55 derby’ *snigger*, kicked off at 3pm the other week, so this won’t be moving KO times.

What annoys me is how they’ve de-Roversd it. The mosaic club crest floor, the memorabilia all over every bit of wall… now just a generic, shabby bar with crap, expensive beer. The entire club in microcosm.

Absolutely no responsibility taken by Waggott in that article as we slump to an almost unbelievable c7000 ST holders (well apart from the revelation that Cat A+ pricing at £40+ a ticket does not work for mid table second tier football in a town like Blackburn - give the man an MBA). It’s all ‘Covid’, ‘fans being uncomfortable’ mixed in with a load of marketing and corporate jargon and waffle. And a very low target bar of merely getting back to the already piss poor sales of 8,500 STs, seemingly no plan to get back to what was a standard 10,000+ sales under that now golden age of Gary Bloody Bowyer.

Well you did, as you’ve said repeatedly how they are way too expensive and Waggott has messed up. In a contrarian mood today, I see.

Only on here. ‘Salt o’ earth’ is our Tone with 99% of the fanbase.

Nah, we should make these tardy buyers wear some kind of hat to distinguish them.

So that’s 7,200 ST holders now 🎉

Missed your chance. Went off sale at 3pm and no pay on the day.
