That would be more of a Jazzy Kex issue!

We only ‘pipped’ them because we lost form in the run in and they went on a barmstorming run. Yet, they still couldn’t catch us, so shows how dominant we had been for most of the season. (Plus, how our team needed refreshing that summer, but that’s another issue).

Not saying I agree with his approach with Ireland BDS, just that it doesn’t meant he’ll approach Forest the same way.

He chose a method with Ireland largely due to him having a fairly poor set of players. With Forest he has players who are generally on par with the rest of the league, so you’ll see a different method, so all that about him being a ‘dinosaur’ didn’t wash.

Saw this yesterday. I thought ‘great, it’ll show pics from in there back int day’ No, just a photo of the outside with ‘remember Jumpin Jaks?’ https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/news/17449453.do-you-remember-when-jumpin-jaks-was-the-place-to-go-in-blackburn/

Rich Sharpe tweeted that their team was largely made up of their under 18s.

It’s Doncaster’s under 18s, so let’s not get too carried away...

Good job we are kicking off at 12 then!

Like Leeds, remember seeing some cracking followings there in thowden days. Long gone at those prices.

As always, ‘negative brfcs’ ahead of the curve. BB to play in the U23s... https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/football/rovers/news/17456189.brereton-could-feature-for-rovers-under-23s-at-doncaster/ Though the fans fault according to those below the line...

Oh aye, fantastic team. As proven by then winning a cup and then finishing 6th in the PL with most of them.

Or the 2001 promotion team. Friedel, Berg, Short, Flitcroft, Hughes. ‘Captain’s’ throughout.

Lenihan has had to learn his trade at centre half, but he’s the only one back there that looks like he actually enjoys the scrap.

Is there a way of moving the posts over?

Not much difference either way. As I’ve said, £30 tickets more of an issue, I would wager.

The 12pm KO is nonsense and not something replicated unilaterally by any other club from what I can see. However, the main reason there will only be 12,000 Rovers fans there is pricing. £27-31 (£30-£34 on the day) for second division football in the two most popular stands will not attract the floating fan, the kind of fan that usually boosts the gate for this kind of game, 12pm or 3pm.

Cocaine and social media is what is fuelling the upsurge in dickheadery.

Strong batch of Columbian by the sounds of it...

Bloody right! You’ve known all season, just set your alarm for 2am.

Show some commitment! He’d quit his job before missing a midweek game with Ipswich or whoever remember!

Don’t confuse Ewood with the rest of football. Nearly every other club in England have substantially increased their gates over the past decade. We are one of the few to go the other way, put the blame for that at the door of those that deserve it...

It’s just a fact. There will be around 12,000 Rovers fans there, as usual. If you think £27-£31 for a ticket in the Blackburn End or Jack Walker (£30-£34 on the day) is in any way sensible for a mid table second division match then fair enough, but it’s a ridiculous price from where I’m standing. The club is only interested in filling the Darwen End at top prices, not trying to encourage a big derby crowd and atmosphere that could encourage our fans to return.

You can tell Mogga is a posh Teesider these days.

That is what everyone thought was the case until contradicted by Preston police. Be interesting to see whet the club line is at the next Fans Forum.

For the red button to be available for any match not kicking off at 3pm on a Saturday was absolutely crackers and why it was ever even considered by the clubs or the EFL is beyond me. We are not operating in the Premier League with its vast audience, the only folk interested in EFL are fans of the clubs involved and giving fans the opportunity to watch around 40% of home games on TV was totally bonkers and will only be the detriment of attendances. I’d hope the midweek games go next (and that’s said as someone that watched Swansea and Reading away on it, bigger picture and all that) and we can put this ridiculous development to bed.
