Mowbray’s talking about crowds in the LT again, hoping for regular 20,000 gates. Sounds great, though cloud cuckoo land in this league, though perhaps ask Waggott if he has any plans to get us anywhere close...

I can imagine Bristol City won’t be voluntary moving so many of their Saturday 3pm games next season...

The fact we get only get around 10,000 through the gate is another reason to worry about it...

I guess we will (we will, by the way)

They will it add it last minute, they did the same for the Bristol Ciy/Sheff Wed game yesterday.

As it’s not 3pm, Sky can show it on the red button.

That would be pushing 17,000 home fans JH, Oxford aside I’m not sure we’ve had that for any league game post PL relegation in 2012.

Unfortunately we just didn’t sell enough season tickets to be expecting those kinds of figures, simple as that Darrenrover. Who knows a decent run till December and we many sell a fair few half STs...

Cat A with Sky red button will attract similar home numbers to the Villa game you’d think. So a crowd of under 20,000.

They just have a rabid hatred of the guy that precludes any rational views of him. Hes seen as a symbol of their decline, double relegation and all that. I suppose I’d be the same if I saw Bradley Orr on the pitch again and it’s why I shout at the TV to this day when I hear or see Danny Murphy.

Second half he was moved to left wing back as we went 3-5-2, with Reed on the right and Willliams, Mulgrew and Lenihan as the three centre backs.

No biased views here... https://www.readytogo.net/smb/threads/rodwell.1447873/

They did do, Rovers very important to them these days, possibly because the other two have gone in totally different directions from them. Their forums are full of ‘inbreds’, ‘Dingles’, ‘HATE those Bastards’ etc.

There’s a difference between a metropolitan/ ceremonial county - Greater Manchester being one and the historical counties like the Lancashire county Palatine that covers the land from the Furness to the River Mersey that still exist. Just surprises me that so many Lancastrians want to do down and reduce their historical county with a thousand years of civic pride and history. Perhaps just ignorance. I’m hopeful that one day its boundaries will be properly restored - like the East Riding of Yorkshire was when ‘Humberside’ was abolished. www.forl.co.uk

It’s this place, I can assure you most fans realise it’s all about winning matches.

Shame you’ve no pride in our ancient county Scotland1 (assuming you have some link to Lancashire) going back nearly a 1,000 years until some bureaucrat in the 1970s in London decided to alter the boundaries. I’ve no particular interest in Bolton, but considering it’s next to Darwen, it is by definition, a local derby, end of.

Are some people on this thread for real? ’Embarrassed to win’, ‘the owners should pull Mowbray in’ etc. Us and every other club have ground out scrappy away wins since time immemorial, one of football’s constants. It was a poor second half, something the manager himself recognised, but our newly promoted side won the game and go into the break outside the play offs on goal difference. Lot to work on, but Christ let’s enjoy it!

13,200 (officially), but I’ve noticed the papers have printed the Forest crowd figure again in error.

‘Need help filling your ground?’ They are still advertising tickets for their game on Saturday... ?‍♂️

7 million quid is serious money for 2018 Blackburn Rovers. For me, that should have been spent on two ready made Championship level pros. However, the new Venky model seemingly resolves around buying young English talent that can be improved and flipped for profit. No problem with that, at least we now have a plan, Armstrong at 1.7m is a good example of it. The issue is would the money have been available for 28 year old experienced pros? I personally doubt it, so it is what it is, it just seems very big money for a middling Championship club to outlay on such a raw lad.

I await the ex DEnders to post that we are trying to ‘divide the fan base’, but I assume those entering the DEnd last season were searched, so they’ve just moved the practice over.

Who’s asking for a change of manager? A fewfull time trolls on social media? We were actually clapped off last night (not exactly an ovation, but stil) after a comprehensive home defeat. Couldn’t tell you last time I heard such a thing. The bloke has unwavering support in the fan base.

Does turnstyle L take you to the Darwen End side of the JW lower? If so, I would imagine we can work out why...

Will they not be the parents of some of the kids that were flag waving and them walking round the pitch at half time? Generally speaking I imagine any big group in the family stand that suddenly appear are freebies. Havent heard about the lapsed ST thing, but at least it’s trying something.

Leeds allocation up to 7,650. Classy stuff from their official twitter page. The only club in one of the country’s biggest cities and before this season a standard crowd was 26 of so thousand, so nowhere near filling their own ground. MASSIVE ay.
