End of the day is there a massive clamour out there for them to sell? Not that I’ve seen. Most fans seem content enough to plod on indefinitely with these owners, so it’s no surprise that J*B held a minority view at the AGM, as his view is a standard brfcs one, and as we know this place is definitely out of step with the majority of the fanbase

2024/25 Season Tickets
Mattyblue replied to TheRevAshton's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
I think what was the Jack’s Kitchen offering is now going in the Premier Suite, I.e one course buffet, and the ‘new’ Jack’s Kitchen, I.e pie and peas is going to be there. Lowest common denominator stuff as always. -
2024/25 Season Tickets

No worries! What I do think is odd on the corporate side for next season is they’ve moved what was a real good offering in the Premier Suite, with a cracking upper central JW seat for the game, into the Blackburn End where you’ll spend the game behind glass (and obviously behind the goal), so a fair bit of a downgrade from where I’m looking. -

Always have done. Slightly different offering it when it’s a few dozen people that will buy over decimating numbers for less attractive games with your pool of 9/10,000. -

Glad to hear it, so a little odd you didn’t post that instead of dismissing the poster’s ‘news’? -
2024/25 Season Tickets
Mattyblue replied to TheRevAshton's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
So the club once again had fecked up ticketing or at least comms around ticketing and now has had to retract. Maybe the WATR Chair shouldn’t be as quick to dismiss concerns of fans (who are presumably often members too) when such things are raised. -
The State of Ewood Park!
Mattyblue replied to A Northern Horde...'s topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Send Swag a picture, no issues exist unless he’s sees it in photographic form. Which I suppose is fair enough when your only view of Ewood is from the corporate lounge. -

Blackburn End lower, Riverside and JW without the corporate seats and the netted off end block in the lower makes up the 18,189, which is fair enough as there’s certainly no point opening up more stands when we just about scrape 9,000 ST sales. -
The England Team - all the news, views…

🤦♂️ You can’t ‘create your own luck’, it’s just a turn of phrase for a team that has played well/worked hard. -
The England Team - all the news, views…
Mattyblue replied to roverandout's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
They haven’t played well but are in the semis. Why? Well to go *some way* to explain it, it’s helped that they’ve got lucky with the draw. But it’s only helped, of course you still have to beat the sides in front of you, just like if Rovers ended up in a cup semi final on the back of avoiding the big sides, nowt wrong with that, that’s cup/tournament football for you - it’s not a league where luck absolutely doesn’t play a role after 38/46 matches, you end up exactly where you deserve. I’m not belittling at all, as football is a results business, just like I wouldn’t give a monkeys if we ended up at Wembley after only beating lower league sides. Odd that some on here resolutely won’t accept England have been fortunate, at all. Like DE said I don’t know why this has ended up being a debate really, but I suppose this is brfcs 😅 -

Mattyblue replied to roverandout's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
‘Making your own luck’ is just a cliche. What’s wrong with saying they had a slice of fortune with the draw, that’s football. Just like if would be if Rovers were in a similar cup situation, you can only beat what’s put in front of you. -

Confusing me with someone else, I’m delighted they’ve had a lucky route through. -

So you aren’t actually bigging up Vale for a starting spot, fair enough. -

Mattyblue replied to chaddyrovers's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
How is that remotely comparable to the Sammie situation, he was a totally different player to Dack. The lad has had plenty of opportunity, he just ain’t up to this level and will turn 24 during the season. -

I’ve still never seen an explanation as to why those fantastic history timeline murals were removed. -

Yep, sounds like BS to me. All a narrative spun to justify the plethora of Head Ofs under the thumb of the Swag/Suhail axis. -

Sticker books, pieces of paper, what will the social media team be working on for this summer? Players being fished out of the reject bin a la Raggy Dolls? -

In the Venky era, I suppose. It’s our small time version of top flight records only starting in 1992. -

Always loved the Kappa ones myself. -
Hmmm, all these things like cost, cold weather, night games after work, struggling to make a new time, or the thousands of our fans that need to travel decent distances and none of that will have any impact whatsoever when the majority of games can now simply be watched on TV instead. But Ok. I’ll leave it there as I can sense a black hole approaching.
-
Yes you’re right, they’ll find out that half the games will be on TV at all manner of times. It will be next summer and the following season when it really starts impacting gates - and the clubs only have themselves to blame when their crowds drop and the only beneficiaries have been the players and the agents.
-
Once again it isn’t about you (or me). As an example I personally like a 12.30 Saturday game as they are quite convenient for me, however do you think generally having half the games on TV at all manners of KO times is going to be a good thing for gates?
