Love this pic, you don't see many pics from this side of the ground, Infirmary in the distance also. Blackburn Rovers supporters queueing for tickets outside Ewood Park for the FA Cup 5th Round tie between Blackburn Rovers and Manchester City in Blackburn, England, circa February 1969

Seems to be all the rage these days CLB. Bob Dylan has just released archives with George Harrison, these come on the back of his sessions with Johnny Cash, great listening and some studio banter to boot. I know Joni Mitchell has released her archives too. Great artists, timeless.

The fans have been taking this nonsense for 10yrs SG and will continue to do so, thats what football fans do, its in the blood, you can't get rid of it. But make no mistake, this club will never move forward under Venkys ownership, regardless of who the manager is, the past 10yrs tell us that and to expect anything different is living in a cloud cuckoo land in my opinion. We've had "would you welcome venkys back' thread, I was surprised to see how the mood had softened because they'd said nothing for 2 seasons, then we get the news about the training ground...... We are only ever 1 step away from disaster with Venkys running this club, until they go we stagnate and decline. Venkys Out.

@Sparks Rover The Mrs has binge watched this over the past few days whilst on annual leave, she said it was superb Sparks 👍

Its a good story yes. PM'd you.

You do know we are owned and run by Venkys don’t you? Its not my fault or your fault, but those are the facts and we’ll never improve as long as they’re running the show. Unless they go up they’re not competing with us, that’s the point, we’re all also rans Rev.

You don’t find the Royal Family funny now? It’s of it time? Really Sparks? Its timeless, I grew up in that household, even the wallpaper was the same.....

Really? Lets just say they're all examples of how you can compete, I'll give you 20 teams every year that fall short in the Championship. The original point was, Swansea received £100m+ in 2018. We lost £20m+ in the same season, and even more after that. If you think we can compete at the same level as the teams coming down from the Premiership then all credit to you. Its the hope that kills you, if you're still living in 1995 or 2005.....

Do you think Barnsley will be playing Premiership football next season Hoochie?

Just watched a 30 minute tribute to Caroline Aherne, then an episode of the brilliant: ‘Royal Family - Wedding day’ on Bbc1 Absolute genius.

Swansea were relegated from Premiership on 2018, the money earned that season was around £100 million. For the next 4 seasons they'll receive parachute payments. In the same season we made massive losses of around £20 million, for the next 4 seasons we'll lose millions and millions more. Can anyone explain to me how we can compete with clubs like Swansea, Bournemouth, Norwich, Stoke, etc etc? Decent performance tonight, we could well have won, but the gap between Premiership and Championship gets wider season on season. Midtable is about our level.

Can I ask, have you renewed your security certificates gents? I’ve seen ads in the past swamping user access due to expired certification. Apologies for sticking my nose in.

Its the taking part that counts TS 🙄

An example for anyone not seeing them. I’m not complaining, if this is the new normal that’s fine, anything to support the site is fine by me.

Now thats funny 😂

Great track

I bet that sounded funny in your head.....Then you posted it.......👍 See you on the "what you listening to now thread" - Got a banger for you (Well not so much a banger, but great track)

At least he had an argument, your arse is full of splinters from sitting on the fence 😃
