Are we neglecting them? I think the club does try to engage and must as the demographics of the town are only going one way. The club certainly doesn’t do enough to engage with the support outside the borough, but that’s another issue. However, an issue is that football (Man Utd, Liverpool etc) is massive within the Blackburn Asian population, however most Asian lads I’ve talked to look at you if you have two heads if you ask them if they are a Rovers fan. As always, it’s about kids, get them involved young, 18,000 empty seats so fill them with as many schools as possible. Lets hope Stoke sees the start of that...

Play offs are back on! (We just need to win 9 on the bounce) https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/football/rovers/news/17500415.boss-feels-bradley-dack-is-an-easy-target-for-criticism/ Not sure what’s in those biscuits of his.

I also like to peruse other club forums and I reckon a fair few are much more kneejerk than this place.

I’m talking worst case if Preston somehow scab it. I suppose Hudds is only an hour of so away, but I was more thinking Lancs.

That’s exactly what 1875 should be used for. Now the bulk of those that initially joined - regular away attendees who wanted to guarantee tickets for the likes of Fleetwood, have drifted away, it needs to be properly re-launched and advertised as a match day ticket saving scheme.

London games are always pretty well attended too due to our decenf numbers of fans in the south east. Places slightly on a limb with poor transport links like Swansea, Boro seem to be the most poorly attended. Well, plus the likes of Leeds and Sheff Wed with their ridiculous pricing. Though Sheff Wed are very canny on how they rip off away fans. £23 for members, £33 for non members.

Way things are going we could have zero local games next season...

Doncaster was a great moment for the young ‘uns. For cynical bastards like us, it was largely a relief to get out of that god forsaken league at the first attempt. But as an example, a 16 year old that we know, goes every game home and away, only really remembers the Venky era Rovers, he said it was one of the best days of his life.

At two separate groups no less. End of the day Mowbray’s received zero stick in the ground. 20+ years ago the grumblings he’s had on the Internet would have been elsewhere like the boozer or perhaps an angry letter to the LT letters page. Was ever thus, but it has allowed Smith to resurrect his usual nonsense.

‘Cook huddled into his latte like a subway busker on a break.’ Move over Oscar Wilde

Went in the Sheffield Tap prior to Sheff Utd. Great boozer. Its in house brewery smell reminded me of walking near Thwaites’ back in the day.

We really are screwed if we are getting psychosomatic injuries now!

Think his absence is making Lenihan seem like a superstar. I do like how he’s the only centre half we have with aggression and mobility, however at times he has also looked like a converted holding midfielder - diving into tackles that are often good to break up play in midfield, but can be fatal around the ‘D’.

I can imagine a trade off. ‘Yes you can have safe standing, but the area needs to be secured’.

The well known hotspot of Blackburn End N03 spent the second half being filmed yesterday...

Stuff like that is going on in Scotland every week. It carries on and fences will be back.

Maybe this has something to do with it...

Smallwood was dreadful at Rotherham and righty hooked at half time. He should not have been anywhere near the side, but it is a sign of a manager under pressure reverting to his comfort zone.

Twitterati shitstorm heading West Brom’s way...

Plenty of time for Liverpool to slip up. 6-0 win today please.

Bit like seeing three ex Rovers season ticket holders on my Facebook ‘checking in’ at Barnsley yesterday.

A lot of clamour on here for his removal, but as I predicted this morning, there is not even the slightest murmurings against him at Ewood - feel free to correct me, but I’ve heard nothing. He still has a hell of a lot of good will at home games and that’s not something I see dissipating this season (cataclysmic relegation aside).

Course not. The aim for them will be to get their season ticket base up again in the summer after it was down to the hundreds during the boycott.

No course they don’t. Weird obsession of you lot.

14,000 home tickets sold, most we’ve had this season. Plus, a full Darwen End, so Waggott will see it as a job well done.
