He’d walk into the Rangers side that lad 😉

Boooom @DeeCee

Billy Hamilton, Kevin Brock, Aldridge and Houghton when I think of Oxford. Very good side mid 80’s, went on to bigger and better things whilst we couldn’t quite make that next step to promotion until 92 and the rest is history.

Sri Lanka digging in here, 247-6 and lead by 125. If they can get to a 200 lead, it gives them something to defend. No Mark Wood for the rest of the game either.

Here is the last time we played Oxford at home, a great day, Ewood almost full to bursting, such a wonderful sight to see, Doncaster away to win promotion wasn't bad either! Rovers 2 Oxford 0

Rangers are a far better side man for man that we are. It’s our worst side since mid 80’s too.

Yet most Rangers players would walk into our side, if we could afford the wages….

Simon bloody Mann and another Southerner slagging off Manchester again on Test Match Special, it’s every time they come up here. If you don’t like it chaps, don’t come, I’m sure staying down South and hiding under your beds will be more productive. On the cricket itself, England on easy street and have Sri Lanka 66/4 in the sun at Old Trafford.

They were NEVER fit and proper owners, this despite passing the awful test applied by our governing body. VENKYS OUT - NOTHING ELSE MATTERS

I don’t like this new barrister, he’s no pace and doesn’t get into any attacking positions. This is what happens when you sell your best barristers and replace them with legal aid…..

Spot on. Why on earth would you change things, we’ve brought on millions under the current setup.

We all said the same when they pulled out £7m for Diaz! Long term investment that they let walk for free, madness. No one can second guess these morons pal.

Just see the just giving page from Wilsdenrover above, many thanks 👍

Toss up between Richard and Noel, I’m going Richard 👍 He hates the limelight, struggles with fame, but writes amazing songs.

I’m not on Facebook, can you share a different link to support this Abbey 👍 If not, private message me your details and you can donate for us. Cheers pal

If we don’t bring in more bodies of sufficient quality we’ll probably find ourselves in another relegation scrap. The first 11 could keep us clear of the bottom half, but we all know come Nov/Dec when injuries kick in, all clubs rely on those squad players and we will be found wanting. We’ll bring a few loan players in last minute, but what sort of impact they’ll have is anyone’s guess. It shouldn’t be this way with the horse trading we’ve done in recent years, but with no ambition and no plan from our owners and leaders we just bumble along hoping for the best, it’s scandalous frankly.

He’s just gone up another level for this:

I’m in the area, but swore I’m not going again under these abhorrent owners. Things get real tomorrow, a real test for this side. Hopefully a 1-1 for the travelling fans Just looked at tickets in the home end, not many left, £41 in the main stand, let’s see if the beer takes effect and heart rules head. Safe trip everyone.

As it looks like Sammi is about to depart for pastures new, I can't help but feel both sadness personally and happiness for the lad himself to be honest. The way he's conducted himself has been exemplary, non of this "I'm not playing, I might get injured crap" that we've witnessed over the years, just good honest graft and do you job, what a superb attitude the lad has and he deserves everything that is coming to him. For me he goes in the same bracket as Speedie and Bellamy, both had small but significant cameos at Ewood and will always be remembered fondly, even if they are unaware themselves of the status the fans hold them in. Over the years I've never been happy seeing players leave, especially players that make us a better team, but with the current 'ten bob ownership' and sever lack of ambition, I have no problems with him leaving, I'd do the same in his shoes. I wish him all the best in his next endeavour, good luck Sammi, thanks for the memories. Venkys Out - Nothing else matters.

It sold out in no time, why the hell didn’t we ask for more tickets?

One or two in the home ends for this one, don't tell anyone....

Even with sensible owners and a decently run club, teams in Championship are really up against it with spending power like this.

I've been mulling over the best kit debate, miy favourite has always been the Kendall era kit 79/80/81, this is very similar and equally as good, I'm torn to be honest.

Your 2nd paragraph says it all, nailed it Slam.

You know what, at times I struggle to understand the enthusiasm for Rovers, I personally can’t see a future until these owners piss off. Then I look at last night, the gate was superb for a Sky live game, nobody saw that coming and these lads, just loving life supporting Rovers. Maybe I have it wrong….
