Amazing how this Trafford still has this reputation as the next big thing in goalkeeping, been all over the place every time I’ve seen him. His ‘mid range passing’ or some other irrelevant stat must be off the charts though. Modern football, ay.

Or they come out with some corporate waffle which always amuses (bemuses?) me as it never makes any sense, commercially or otherwise.

Another one for the FF please, @K-Hod @only2garners

Then they will run out before Christmas… repeat every season, totally normal though.

But running out of stock in August is a good thing! As it shows they are popular… or something.

Fair enough but it’s been a long time since I’ve seen one. Unlike here where’s there’s always been a couple.

I came up from the concourse to hear a right ovation, I was thinking ‘oh who’s that, it’s err… Elliott Bennett’. A bigger hand than actual club legends like Big Col have received recently… but I suppose the ‘95 team doesn’t mean so much to younger fans.

I’ve stopped letting it bother me as you know when we are thriving again with new owners (I know, I know!) they’ll be all ‘obviously Venky’s had to go’ ‘it’s a new dawn’. They just blindly protect the status quo and authority at all times.

It’s this modern day social media mantra of ‘being positive’, of ‘avoiding negativity’. Of course there’s nothing remotely ‘positive’ about blindly supporting people that have dragged BRFC into the gutter.

As bizarre as everything else at this club, obviously don’t want to man the away ticket office for a couple of hours… but of course there are absolutely no issues with funding, one of those reassuring blue background statements said so.

That’s the Jack Walker/Darwen End connecting bridge (for want of a better word), one was there. The other one was on the Blackburn End/Jack Walker connector on the other side.

Next Fans Forum please can you ask why the history murals were removed? As one of the ‘replacement’ signages there looks just a tad pathetic. @K-Hod @only2garners

It’s a fair point, has a Rovers fan ever been a regular on UTC? No idea why they would want to be, but they wouldn’t last five minutes without being hounded off. Whereas even obnoxious twats like that Sam Dingle lasted years on here.

I’m sure Eustace knew all too well, but obviously fancied a well paid Championship job where you get to get your feet under the table. I’m saying there are a shed load down at Ewood that couldn’t care less about the off field stuff, hard to believe for folk like us on here that live and breathe it, but it’s how it is with many a football fan.

‘Over the years’, yes when we had a vibrant local media. Now? We get nothing that isn’t in the public domain. If you are a fan that doesn’t use social media/forums (which is a sizeable number) you will know very little about the power struggles/Swag/Suhail and all the rest of it. The CEO himself was a virtual unkown until a couple of years ago, the actual power holder in the club still is.

Why what would the local paper tell them re what was going on behind the scenes? Not a lot over what is on the record, what was said in the last presser/press release.

I would say there’s a shed load of fans out there that know feck all about the machinations behind the scenes. They just traipse down to Ewood every other week to watch a team in blue and white and don’t really give it much thought again until the next time they do said traipsing.

Goes down to a loyalty point level that will cover all ST holders (I think) tomorrow.

Who doesn’t want ‘attacking football’, but if your players won’t win enough games playing that way then you have to find another.

Used to do that, certainly recall the Dunn hattrick of penalties game being part of the season ticket.

I wouldn’t use Chelsea as any kind of yardstick, total basket case. I’d imagine they’ve had plenty of offers (from companies quite a distance from the King’s Road too), why wouldn’t they, but that regime is the kind of one that will barter with a firm over a few hundred grand for a shirt sponsor after shelling out a billion on attacking midfielders.

Hmmm, wonder what part of this never ending farce Jack would have wanted for his beloved club, that was transformed under his stewardship, any clues, anyone? Problem with Masher is that as he looks for a contrary angle on every post (however you get your kicks, ay) he makes himself look very silly.

Swag deserves, what, praise for getting something, anything on the shirt? Which is usually a firm already in the tent in a radius of five miles from Ewood? My nephew’s under 10s have a shirt sponsor. He deserves nothing unless he’s attracting sponsorship income to that of our peers.

Agree with you there Chadster. Take away parachutes and once again there will be ‘twists and turns’ with everybody else all season (and maybe even the likes of Luton in the pack). All much of a muchness.

*Humble* bragging. I.e just like last time, it will be a weekly routine of ‘we could’ve lost that, but we are doing ok for little owd Burnley’. (with an income dwarfing the vast majority of the league).
