Raining in Sydney, weather looks poor for the rest of the week too. We could get a draw!

https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/19823058.blackburn-rovers-q-contracts-transfers-team-prospects/ Not sure if this has been linked elsewhere, its finished now, but some interesting content on current goings on down at Ewood.

Clearly not Darwen Rover or they'd have signed. With the club riding this crest of a wave, how good would it be for the club to immediately offer these players increases on the deals and get them signed for the next league game? That is what Jack and John Williams would have done, within reason of course, but then again we'd never have gotten to this stage in the first place.

If it doesn't make sense, its probably not true JH.

We never played them for 10yrs and we certainly never sat 2nd Championship on a run like we are right now when we did.

I have it downloaded. I recall at the time, English players and commentators falling over themselves to be involved, money money money, but something didn’t seem right. Stanford was in the crowd wrapped around players wives and girlfriends, it was all very bizarre.

For a side in the playoffs 40 miles away? We'd have sold double that had we had the opportunity in my opinion. Poor following.

Just over 16,000 on yesterday and as predicated a really poor following from 6th place Udders. If the product on the pitch is worth supporting, the fans will come. Time for Waggott to look at a promotion package, 3 game bundle for £45, lets put even more bums on seats please.

What a brilliant seasons it’s been so far, much better than anyone could have imagined. As fans can hold our heads up high and that’s in no small part to the manager Tony Mowbray and the players he’s assembled. Our squad is threadbare, we looked leggy today, the owners need to provide funds now to keep the momentum going, we may never have a better opportunity than this season to go up. Onwards and upwards.

Just imagine how angry you’d be if you actually went to games!

Should have been, we missed a hatful.

I'd like us to bring a marquee signing into the club, experienced former international that can command immediate respect to guide this side down the home straight, but who that player would be I have no idea and as Jim says above, not bleedin Sturridge. I also wouldn't rule out bringing an old player or 2 back to work behind the scenes, a former Premiership winner maybe? Help them understand what this means to the town and its supporters. We may not get anther chance at this, we need all the help we can get.

The numbers don't add do they Matty? £15 a ticket wouldn't have pulled in 20k fans I'm afraid, which ever way you slice it. A winning team does bring out the fans, our gates have steadily increased which proves that point nicely. If you'd like to discuss further I'll happily continue the debate on the attendances thread.

Huddersfield took 1000 to Forest last night at £25, where are another 3.5k coming from to get close to Sheff Utd following? .........and I've not started on our lot?

Remind me what the gate was against Sheff Utd Sparks? One thing that immediately jumps out here, the moaning is about ticket pricing, a very valid argument for football supporters across the land and not about the manager, the players or the owners! That is a result surely!

Every player in this league wants to play in the Premiership, its the pinnacle of a players careers to do so, many don't make it. Can you imagine if Mowbray went public and said he'd not sell Brereton to a Premiership club for any price? What would that do to the lad himself and the relationship with the manager? Mowbray knows his players, his man management is superb, look how he dealt with the Armstrong sale if you don't believe me. He doesn't want to lose Brereton, only the owners can force through that sale mid season, time will tell on that score.

Not wanting to deflect this thread, but the club are trying, you seem to be forgetting: The club reduced the Sheff Utd game to under £15 across the board. The Preston home game and Blackpool home games have been reduced in price too. The club is introducing a Category C for all non-holiday midweek games, which will see adult ticket prices capped at £20. Next Generation Initiative, with 1,000 supporters having been invited to watch games in the upper tier of the Blackburn End will also continue. The club seem to be trying in this area as far as I'm concerned.

Don't sit in JW upper, problem solved. If its the most popular stand for walk ons then the pricing is probably right or people wouldn't pay it.

I can't believe what I'm reading, draws and losses being predicted for a side in the vein of form we are in? I know its silly season but come on...... Rovers 3 Udders 1

What did Kenny do in 91/92? Bought Duncan Shearer to knock Swindon out of the promotion race. Who could Mowbray buy to do the same?

57,000 fans wishing they could swap places with the mighty Blackburn Rovers 👍 Onwards and upwards.

Forest bring on £13.2m striker Carvaliho to try and salvage a point.

The Rochdale game was Boxing day SG, traditionally one of the best attended matches of the season, we'd have beaten that gate had this been 3pm on Boxing day I'd wager. Last night was a good turnout which will build should the side continue winning.

If you look at the promotion campaign in 2000/2001 we played Crewe at home at a similar time of year - We had around 18k on that day, so we're not doing to badly after a decade of hurt under these idiots. The Blackburn public have always supported a successful team throughout my time supporting the club and will continue to do so. If we maintain the current lofty heights of Championship you'll see these gates going up further, its always been that way.

Excellent crowd last night and great support, tremendous to see. The town wants to get behind the football team and if we're doing well the fans will come, its always been that way. Onwards and upwards.
