Some are like that, of course. But I can’t remember a manager that gets such unequivocal support by so many as this fella.

Not saying it wasn’t time for him to go, it was. More comparing how TM avoids any criticism with the majority of Ewood.

Bowyer was at the end of the road. However, he’d been left with a poor squad and spent nowt in the last 12 months. Yet, the fans wanted him gone. This fella has spent £10 million this season, has us in the same position as GB, but because we got out of a tinpot league he gets a free pass from the support.

So Dack turned up and was sent home for not ‘being in the right frame of mind’, I believe.

Thought I’d test the mood music around me today. Nobody had even contemplated his removal. Even when I pushed them by saying ‘well what if we get go say October and we are in the bottom 3?’ Even then there was only a begrudging acceptance that he should be even under threat. Bombproof with the majority of Ewood I would wager.

Wolves last season?

He’s living right in the centre of Manchester now by the looks of it, Beetham Tower, I think. What could possibly go wrong?

Also, does anyone know of any schools outside BwD borough they have been involved?

Reaction to a Mowbray interview... brfcs - ‘more Kean-esque nonsense.’ ‘Bloke’s lost the plot’. LT comments - ‘Wise words as always from Tony’.

Oh aye, crackers they turned a 1,000 folk down.

2500 tickets issued, but will 2500 turn up?

I always find you can get really good prices to Birmingham and sometimes London if you’re quick. But anywhere off the main line and the prices can be ridiculous.

On about loyalty again in the LT. This over sentimentality will get him the sack. Football is a ruthless business, his only loyalty should be to himself and his only aim to improve the team. Rewarding sub standard players with new contracts and automatic starts for finishing runners up in the third division is no way to progress the club.

Night nearly over? It’ll be about twenty past nine. You a young fogie or what?

Was always going to be moved. I know Ewood Blues were worried as it’s their annual weekend trip. If they’d have moved it to something daft like a Thursday or Monday night they’d have been knackered.

‘Hindsight is 20/20’ I.e. I slagged off all you lot for not ‘trusting Tony’ , turns out I was wrong, you were right.

What’s craic with women’s football and attendances in his country? It is now getting a lot of publicity, often equal mention with the men on many news bulletins - 5 Live as an example. Then I noticed Liverpool v Arsenal in the Super League had a gate of 500 the other week. I imagine the powers that be are concerned that yes, odd games can bring in big crowds, those initiatives with free tickets in Spain and Italy, growing sponsorship etc, but our pro top league just doesn’t seem to be growing with paying customers.

Proper away end, right through someone’s back guarden to get to the turnstiles.

He’s not the finished article by any means. But we are safe, so give the lad a run of starts. Play him instead of Dack if it helps this mythical ‘defensive work’ that most of the actual defenders don’t even seem to possess.

TM on Rothwell. https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/football/rovers/news/17542185.tony-mowbray-on-why-joe-rothwell-isnt-starting-for-rovers/ Also known as I’ve backed myself into a corner with this lad even though it is blinding obvious he should be starting.

Post 4 sounds familiar... http://qprdot.org/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=81568&sid=068223f630fda33ad627086ba10cc8ea

Either it was just a lie to help justify the move or Waggott really is that deluded in that he thought a dozen Championship clubs would’ve been bringing upward of the 5,500 standard allocation.

Exactly right Don. Make it £15 a ticket anywhere in the ground. Us and Bolton would sell substantially more. A season ticket pack (ha!) with every purchase . But nah, make it £27- £34 in the hope Bolton fetch 3,000 or so to rip off. I hope Bolton do come ‘in a taxi’, it will be a fitting finish to a season of largely poor away followings to Ewood and blows a hole in that nonsense Waggott was coming out with in the summer about moving home fans from the DE due to all those upcoming massive followings.

Not for me. Their pass and move football was far superior to ours. Though to be expected when they have better players.

I’m not being sarcastic in the slightest. As I said, if they’d have taken their chances first half they’d have been out of sight. Indeed, they should have scored right on the whistle, with whoever it was in the offside position getting involved when it was going over the line anyway.
