‘We sold our goalie to buy Sam Gallagher’

Just one (Naismith) left from the last game of the season...

King won’t play as he’s picked up a ‘slight knock’. The old ‘calf strain’ routine before they are turning out for someone else a few days later... https://www.bournemouthecho.co.uk/sport/18714245.tindall-expects-frontman-king-back-cherries-next-week/#comments-anchor

Basil still lives at Beardwood, don’t he?

The art of communication to customers is simple, simple, simple. He talks to his like he would to his fellow EFL Chief Execs on a corporate away day.

FF is coming up on Monday, according to their minutes, Rev. We need some clarity, and ideally an agreement to look again at these plans, urgently.

You mean you don’t mark your ‘I learnt how to hold a knife and fork’ anniversary?

Still some big wages there despite a host of departures...

I’m the same DE. The structure just isn’t there when it comes to co-ordinating transfers in 2020. Also, I don’t expect the manager to ever particularly be under any pressure, or for anybody better to arrive, so I’ve given up getting worked up about it and just largely leave the rest of you to it when it comes to transfers or the manager. What will be will be. * I save my ire for issues any decent football bureaucrat should be able to (but can’t) get a grasp on - fanbase, ticketing, pitch, basic ground maintenance etc.

Ha so did we. Me - Shoot! , Mate - Match, his cousin - 90 Minutes

You know what blondie, part of me hopes you are right (or at least the government puts off re-admission longer), so the club can rip up these ridiculous plans and go back to the drawing board.

I believe the next Fans Forum (@only2garners) is on Monday, I can only plead that some of these real concerns are put to the club urgently. The seeming need to accommodate c500 corporates (Is there even any corporate market left?) now means there’s no place for any ST holders in a near 8,000 capacity upper tier, instead moving them to more cramped surroundings downstairs, by the way, how is that optimal in a time of social distancing? These ST holders in many cases have sat there, paying top prices, since it was built 25 years ago. The absolute bedrock of our support. That post of Parson’s has spooked me and should do the same to those at Ewood - it certainly would’ve in John Williams’ time, alas I assume it will be batted away with some corporate waffle. I’m just at a loss to what the bloody hell is going on in the heads of those making decisions down there.

you can give your opinion on it now too...

Won the League Cup too, their Robert Maxwell heyday...

The article reads more ‘how do we put 5,000 people in a few areas as possible?’, not ‘how do we utilise our massive ground in a time of social distancing?’

If folk like Parson don’t renew, then the numbers will be a train wreck. Waggott simply does not understand the fanbase, at all. But at least there will be a few dozen Sodexho meals sold in the Premier Suite...

Easier to ‘monetise’ or whatever other BS terminology he’s learnt on his MBA this month...

No JW Upper (corporates aside)? If we thought shutting the Blackburn End Upper and DE caused a stink - the JW Upper has thousands of long standing ST holders, with months out of the ground, folk getting out of the habit, plenty of them older supporters, now having to move seats, rightly or wrongly I imagine plenty will take a look at their options in the JW lower or Riverside - and think ‘nah!’

‘Shocking fanbase’ ’Venky’s trying to put it right’ Divide and conquer was never so easy...

The Twitter Screen Grabber (formerly of this parish), and Paul Agnew’s publication, from memory.

Sharing a league with our perennial local rivals, Oldham and Man City. Two clubs that have gone in totally different directions... and we are back to where we started (well without the play off bit).

Shoot! as a kid, especially for their league ladders pull out you’d stick to your wall. Didn’t miss a Four Four Two for years, but as I’ve got older I seem to care less about the actual sport on the pitch, but the wider game - support, finance, fan culture etc, so WSC is now my go to.

So why is it ok for you to talk about other club’s transfer policies, but not ok for JH to talk about other club’s ticketing policies?

‘Is there a day when you don’t have a dig at the club’ to a fella who lives and breathes Rovers and hasn’t missed a game home or away in years. Supporting the club is about wanting the best for Blackburn Rovers, it doesn’t mean blowing smoke up the club’s arse on a daily basis... well doesn’t for most fans
