Sale Sharks called off their trip to  Newcastle today on Christmas Eve and will almost certainly lose 28-0, but the opposition have been able to enjoy more of their Christmas and fans, unless they travelled early, haven't been inconvenienced.

If you call a rugby match off for covid, you forfeit. Opposition get a 28-0 awarded ie max points

I dont even go to Ewood but I'd take Rovers over England every day. 

Delighted with the win. I no longer attend Ewood, not because I'm boycotting per se, but because I got driven out by poor decisions by the club and a lack of consultation or at least explanation. I've drifted into doing other things at weekends and doubt I'd ever buy a season ticket again as it wouldn't represent value for money, but I expect I'll get to some matches before the end of the season. Still care enough to be checking result whilst wandering round Delamere Forest Christmas lights

Every time you log in it appears to change the expiry date

we'd probably have come at £20  ticket.  Sale are on a bye week, and Clitheroe are away

When I first saw him play for Clitheroe a few years back you could see all that. I came across the team sheet on the computer the other day.

Would you talk about your employees to random strangers in that way? I'd never have expected my employers to do so!

I don’t frequently go in the Premier Suite at Rovers. I’ve been in at the invitation of clients on a couple of occasions but I don’t really enjoy watching my club in that way.

I’ve spent plenty of time watching Spurs in corporate hospitality during my time in London, and I can honestly say Daniel Levy never did the rounds to tell us whether he was planning on binning the manager….

 

To be fair, I'm not sure Levy even tells the manager until he absolutely has to

Another reference to fitness levels and intensity of training.

When is the intensity of training going to come to fruition?

We have, as last season,not  seen a performance where our fitness levels in a match seem superior to the opposition.

Thing is, as you know I now get my live sport kicks watching Sale Sharks. Now at the start of the season they were saying our fitness levels were going to be better and st first here was no sign of it. But this week they faced Quins, current champions, lightning quick and undefeated this season, and they beat them.  Not just beat them but right at the end, and Quins looked out on their feet while the Sharks players looked like they could have played on. Fitness training doesn't always pay benefits in the first match but as you get match sharp it should begin to tell. Clearly Rovers have got something very wrong as their fitness on the pitch doesn't seem to be improving with match sharpness

Has he gone yet? Is there a shred, a glimmer of hope, that he might be on his way out?

Most saw the opening tactics and said that.

Yet we nearly got a point but in all honesty what happened was always the more likely to happen.

I was watching the score with that definite feeling that we'd lose. I've wanted rid of him for some considerable time. I didn't see the early part of the match as I was on a training course being taught to sack eggs so I only caught updates from 74 mins on

 I saw the result tonight and all I wanted to say was 'SACK HIM IMMEDIATELY '

Gumboots If you mean when should it be made public, any time is the right time. At last he’s listened to the supporters. With social media being what most people use there’s no right time anymore.

No. People were commenting on the pic on twitter showing Ewood at night. I think they're showing that because evening match prices are being reduced, that's all.

Sorry

Isn't the night time puc about lower pricing for evening games?

Cheaper midweek tickets suit us as it would rarely interfere with anything else.

Which is weird because in all of his interviews I could understand him perfectly.

I was once in the changing room for that Premier League winning team and no one seemed to have any problems understanding or communicating with Kenny, who was in high spirits. Ray Harford unsurprisingly, seemed bloody depressed.

I understood his interviews, but I was present when the ex player said it so I believe him.  Maybe it was just when he got annoyed on the training pitch; I don't know but it was said by someone I had no reason to doubt.

Kenny didn't need to shout a lot. He used to find somewhere to stand so they could see him, they knew he was watching and they could be out if they delivered a shoddy performance.




 

Would have been no point in shouting. According to a former player, nobody understood a word he said in training anyway and they just used to do what they thought he meant and rely on the coaches to put them right

I only copied Khod into the email which I sent to a select number of members of this forum, all of whom are concerned Rovers supporters and all who contribute to this forum.

My issue with that would be that we are all concerned Rovers fans and all contribute to the site. I know it's a question of who you think you can trust with info but to share with a select few things you then refer to on here and won't disclose details of, not even a hint of why you feel new found mild optimism, is somewhat divisive.

How did Clitheroe get away with having 20 players?

Oops. Fat finger typing.

These sort of areas are also more affluent and attractive places to live and are growing rapidly with huge housing developments. Clitheroe is another one -  loads of people moving there, nice houses being built - should be targeted with serious efforts including a Rovers bus. Is anything at all being done? Not that I'm aware of.

Interestingly, Clitheroe are growing their crowd again. Season tickets at £30 for seniors. New covered areas. Improved refreshment facilities. Cracking match the other night v Marine. Very feisty and ended up with a 2-0 victory for Clitheroe who ended with 10 men while Marine only had 8. 2 on pitch fights. Almost kicked off in the crowd behind us. And over 500 on to watch it. Pie and peas plus 2 chocolate bars, a tea and a can of pop for £11.80. Good big hot pies too.
