Mercers best bottle of red will be more chateau bargain booze, than chateau Petrus. Interestingly enough, a 1995 Petrus is worth a small fortune, great year that was.

If you're going to use a £10 promotion party as a yard stick we're going to struggle, and the size of the stadium has nowt to do with it. I guess you're talking about the all round package (numbers and noise) so I'll agree atmosphere could improve, but that's indicative of most grounds around the country, but numbers are fine. We have long been the biggest and best supported club in the region in our catagory (burnley, Bolton, preston, bpool etc) and long may it continue.

If you consider everything that's gone on since those idiots took over the support has held up extremely well, so you're talking absolute bobbins squire.

You've got a bite.... Home support average, go on explain that one? When 1985? Our away support under Allardyce was abysmal towards the end, didn't we famously sell under 500 for Anfield and Old Trafford combined? 250 for City away? Similar at Everton? But we finished 10th...... Yet our home support has always stood up as an average.

They'd need another 20yrs in the top flight, regular European football and a cup or 2 before they can consider lauding it over us dgs.

Does anyone have the link to the just giving page setup by Rovers fans to buy a helicopter for Venkys?

Tyson better perform better than Hughey did on Saturday night tomphil, a terrible performance, he's nothing but a big lump with no boxing skills at all, i'd have beaten him.

There's not debate in the past 4/5 pages really, just insults, that's the reason why people don't debate anymore Matty, it simply isn't worth it.

The last 5/6 pages of this thread are rife with personal insults and attacks on fellow posters, it's no wonder Chaddy has taken the mods advice and banged them on ignore. Thats an extremely poor post K-Hod, it really is. Whats also extremely poor is the fact that Saturdays battling performance was one of the best most of us has seen in years, courageous, bottle, togetherness and then we have this cr ap to trawl through....

What a fantastic result that was today, against a side that's won at Old Trafford, St James and Anfield in 2018 and put 7 past QPR at home. Once again the fight and determination stands out from manager through the playing staff and superb away support. We're not as good as WBA, we don't have their resources either, but we more than matched them today and if it wasn't for some awful refereeing we'd have won. Mowbray has only lost 5 games in 49 someone said today and you login to here and the usual suspects are moaning and groaning. It's not about opinions, it's about moaning for the sake of it, you'd think they'd have learnt after the Mowbray out debacle last season..... Onwards and upwards.

WBA have had a mixed bag of results of late but make no mistake about it, they're a very good side. If we came away with a draw I'd be over the moon, but I can't see anything but a home win in this one sadly. WBA 3 Rovers 1 Bit of trivia, The Hawthorns is the highest ground above sea level in the country, I live 15miles away and I still don't get it.....

Sounded a relatively peaceful day yesterday, but I hope they catch the nugget who threw a bottle at Raya in the 2nd half, or if not at Raya, certainly into his penalty area. CCTV - over to you.

What an arsehole.

Chaddy bashing eh? How fookin boring, no wonder the place is on its arse.... Great result today, you could hear a pin drop in the Darwen End for large parts, tremendous, well chuffed for the regulars. Mowbray is doing a terrific job, I think only Pep and Cooke at Wigan have collected more points in the same period and long may it continue. Onwards and upwards.

Even If you charged £20 for every game, the gates wouldn't increase significantly, those thousands of seats would still remain unsold. The only way to fill those seats is to keep improving on the pitch.

I never read any comments like that to be honest, he was always objective and fought his battle by marching with others which deserves respect. Waggot put himself firmly in '@#/? to the fans' column when he closed the Darwen End and moved those season ticket holders without any consultation. Thats no way to treat your own supporters, we maybe a club that's hit on hard times, but the fans are used to being treated with respect and watching football at the highest level, maybe Waggot needs to up his game in that respect. But I'm not worried personally about our support, it's in good shape as far as I'm concerned.

I don't recall him ever insulting posters? We all boycott for different reasons, you hated the football under Coyle and that was your reason, some would say that's not really an excuse, support yer club! I packed in under king rat, otherwise I'd have lost my liberty at some point, some would say that's not an excuse either, support yer club. But Neal gave up for the reasons he's given and spent his time protesting and trying to bring attention to our plight, Bpool's and cr@p owners in general, which is a damn site more than most have ever done. He's now back and enjoying his football and for one don't have the slightest issue with that, because he's like the rest of us, Rovers through and through.

The going rate at the time Matty? The Trust owed is nothing, you sell the club to the highest bidder, like selling your house..... Ive never understood the moaning and groaning about the deal, the Pune rats bought the club and it was sold in good faith.

If the sides doing well the fans will turn up, it's been the case for as long as I've been going, and despite those Indian rats best efforts it hasnt changed today. The supports in good shape, improve the product, improve the gates.

I've seen Leeds a few times this season and they're a good side, full of running with a bit of quality thrown in for good measure, but they've only won 2 of the last 7. I'd put Leeds in the same catagory as Derby and Sheff Utd, so I'd take a draw now, 1-1.

Your favourite manager and mine used to adopt that approach week in week out and failed away from home almost every match we played. You loved that approach then 47er? It was a very good 3 points at a ground where we don't usually come away with anything, just enjoy the win and bragging rights.

Thats a great result, especially after the mauling we took in mid week. A 1-0 win at Bolton is better than I expected and credit to Mowbray for picking that side from the off and then sealing off the win. I hope all the Rovers fans in Leyland, Wheelton, Adlo and Chorley enjoy that tonight. The Bolton game for them is bigger than burnley, enjoy it ?

I'm sure I'm missing the context here, because you have much more sense than to be advocating a change of manager TS. To even suggest such a thing should encourage howls of derision, closely followed by men in white coats dragging you away for electric shock treatment! But to last nights game, a bit like Derby away, both opposition teams are just better than us, it's as simple as that. Sheff Utd looked a top 6 side for long periods, great movement and most players 1 step ahead our lot. They're the benchmark for me so far this season, the place we need to be, but we're on the right track.

Plenty have moved on, you should think about doing the same. It doesn't make you less of a fan, we all agree he's a 'c u next Tuesday' If he ever comes back to Ewood in any capacity I for one will be waiting for an 'autograph', but for now it's all about the present.

We probably wouldn't have won the league cup no, nor the FA Cup, but anyone who thinks resting players for a promotion push is living in cloud cuckoo land in my opinion. So what's left Davey? What reason have we rested key players? So they can run around Marbella until 4am on the next International break? Doesn't make any sense to me, you play your best players at our level, no excuses.
