Unlike others he can make 12:30s at Ewood no problem, and as he’s not the one setting off to the away ones at half 5 in the morning but instead gets to watch them through his beloved Sky subscription, then this TV deal is great from where he’s sitting.

He isn’t perplexed really he just has to stick to the line as he knows he’ll somehow get another decent job by sticking to this ‘progressive’ football… but more fool the Southampton board for letting him use them and ending up back in the Championship as a result. Kompany ‘sticking to his principles’, getting relegated as a result, but ending up at Bayern Munich is the blueprint for all these pound shop Peps.

We didn’t 800 to local-ish PL games at times, the away support has transformed in recent years… no reason why Ewood couldn’t follow the same path in different circumstances.

On a poor run but still 700+ for a Cardiff Sky game at 12.30pm. Terrific support that.

Few on here sounded like they wanted him as the next CEO a couple of months ago.

Bit cerebral for most of the LT commenters, I’d wager 😅

The ‘wider’ Rovers fanbase doesn’t particular care about the owners, never mind the wider game in general.

Defo give them the Riverside and the Blackburn End Upper too, why not ay, got to claw back the bonus he lost for fecking up ST sales somehow.

Can’t be having that, two up front and you are a dinosaur manager who will never get another job… until Pep decides two up front is the future and then you won’t work again until you put two up top.

£33 minimum, of course the fans of the club that have led to these prices don’t pay the up to £40 that home fans will do if they wish to sit in the most populated stand.

Leeds has been set at Cat A+ so £33 to £40, we know why obviously, feck the home fans when 7,000+ will fill the away end. However, I’m sure I don’t recall Cat A+ being a category this season, yet it is on this article (a recent edit?): https://www.rovers.co.uk/news/2024/may/21/matchday-prices-confirmed/

Hostage to fortune having a monthly competition when you have our forward options and Eustace managing them to boot.

8th.

If you blindly back your team (a mid table one at that) to win every game then it’s not a prediction based on any kind of reality and is a waste of time typing it. I want us to win every game, I fancied us to win some of those earlier home games. Saturday? All of us in the car over were of the same mind, ‘tough one this, take a draw’… so were we not ‘backing our team’? I best tell them lads in the car to stay at home with their negativity in future.

Yep, WATR have already hinted at that.

Think back to the 125th anniversary commemorations, the one off kit, books etc, you just know it will be a pathetic 150th one put on by the present bunch of nomarks running the club.

We spent plenty in the late 90s, just largely squandered by Hodgson and Kidd.

Exactly. A transcript, video clips etc. Obviously no budget for extravagances like that.

Q & A run by Rovers, a fairly big event at a normal club you’d say, yet no article or even nod that it happened on the website. Shell of a club.

Like with all the Pears back and forth, with this regime the line ‘well we couldn’t possibly find worse’… oh we can, and do, on a regular basis.

Think Sheffield is pushing it for a Roses rivalry… bit like if it was Rovers v Hull.

Suppose when nearly half the fixtures are chosen for TV every weekend stats won’t really come into it anymore.

Roverandout will die on Nations League Hill.

…only for cup ties.

Great for agents and players this extra dosh, not sure what anybody else gets out of it apart from inconvenienced.
