What a journey that was yesterday @Uddersfelt Blue? Biblical weather both ways from our neck of the woods. -

Spot on Mike, those subs made a massive difference especially with our lot running on empty, we just ran out of steam. Really enjoyed the day, 10 of us made the effort, few beers and a curry in Darwen to finish off. Super effort from all concerned with the fans take over and I was proud of the lads despite the result, they all ran themselves into the ground, you can’t ask for more than that. Venkys Out! -

I remember seeing something a while back that stated the majority of our season ticket holders lived within a 10 miles radius of the ground, that was a while back now though. -

Is that where you’ve seen this information? You made the statement, I’m interested. -

You can call it as old hat as you like but the facts are the facts and I would dispute more of our fan base is from outside the borough, do you have a link? Bolton Met 300k Blackburn with Darwen 150k -

Shearer looks knackered in that clip, probably played to many games, if only they’d have had sports science. -

You have to care about the club, care about your investment, Venkys care about neither. I often think about all the work John Williams and Tom Finn did over the years to put the supporters first, it wasn't just a cash cow for those two, they actually tried to build the brand, build the fanbase, keep tickets at reasonable prices and generally gave a toss. Waggott is doing exactly what he's paid to do, switch the lights on and put the cat out and collect season ticket money from 8000 fans, job done. I don't really blame him myself, he's doing what is asked of him, its the bloody owners that are again culpable. -
Thanks for all your efforts behind the scenes Mike, giving up your own time to try and break down barriers between the fans and the club. It looks like that hard work will bear fruit this weekend with 16k+ getting down to Ewood. Keep up the good work.

Fair play gents, much the same as usual then.....

Go on then I'll bite......... In every walk of life these days we use digital, from tax returns, to pensions, to airline tickets, holidays in Benidorm, brfcs forum, car parking, cinema, restaurants, even my elderly parents use digital, why such a furore over a match against Cambridge in 3rd round FA Cup? Disclaimer - I haven't read all the thread, so apologies if I'm missing the main point,

Fix....😤 Another member of this very parish was moaning at me he didn't win, "I never win anything" I then explained you had to be a subscriber, "Oh" was the response 🤣 I'll put it down to that long trek to Southampton at the weekend, the numpty! -
Plenty of calls for Kompany to go by all accounts, let’s hope they grow louder by the week. Extra tickets given to Everton last night as the locals didn’t fancy it too. We are Premiership 😂

Safe trip home everyone, all 1300 of you are a credit to the club. I salute you. -

Spent many hours on football trips in Maxwells in Covent Garden, so much so I'm sure I must own shares in the place! -
Paul Simon on Sky Arts right now, his 2012 appearance at Hyde Park, superb stuff. Absolute genius, imagine writing Bridge over troubled waters?

His agent wouldn’t be doing his job properly if he didn’t have a release clause inserted. As Mike says above, he’ll be sold in the next few seasons to the highest bidder, on the flip side at least he won’t walk for free, but that is no real consolation to the fans, as they never reinvest.

The last time I was in the park (Last summer) it was packed, lots of families having picnics, just like you remember it. The conservatory has seen better days of course and 'the friends of corporation park' have done a great job in helping to secure funding as the building is superb, a real treasure and deserves to be saved and put back to its former glory.

Ceefax was the first place I saw the headline: Blackburn bid for England captain Lineker. I thought it was a typo!
