Designer clothes coming back to Blackburn, its not been the same since Originals closed down: https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/news/23715450.flannels-open-old-tessuti-store-mall-blackburn/

I gave him a few quid in Sofia because he was running short, imagine my dismay when he was stocking up on cheap fags in the airport on the way back, the Mrs had to intervene or I'd have rung his bloody neck, cheeky bastard. 🤣

More important than the footy, for the vintage members of the site:

How many did you expect for an early round league cup game?

A poster gave the Attendance: 6,173 (579) - Which is a great turnout for an early league cup game.

That is an excellent turnout.

You can see a batsman in him though I presume OjW? Some of those shots he played during the Ashes were a joy to behold, absolute class, the lads technically gifted and that is the reason why the management have stuck with him.

Travis looked a different player today, I'd keep him at all costs, selling our captains 2yrs on the trot is madness to me.

I'm being a bit mischievous of course, we have been shit on from a great height during the past decade, its no surprise our gates aren't booming, but taken in context, they have held up rather well.

No wind ups here Matty. You've got our fan base wrong in my opinion. If the product is worth supporting the town will turn out, it’s been that way since 1875.

You’ve struggled with the gate debate, you never expected a bumper crowd today I’d wager, you were amazed against Girona when the numbers went over 5k and to put me on the hook, we’ve had no success and the gates are going up. Long may that continue I say.

That wouldn’t allow posters to give you a bloody nose on the gate debate 😂 But seriously, it’s been a good day, Ewood was a picture and we all went home happy. Onwards and upwards.

I think the bottom line here is, if you’re beating West Brom, with a depleted side, you’re on the right track. We have now brought a few quid in from outgoings, how about backing the manager Venkys? Over to you.

Mate of mine called me earlier to tell me he’d been given some complementary tickets, he sent me pick: Slap bang in the middle of the WestBrom fans 😂

If this is correct they have been steadily increasing, up nearly 3500 since 19/20 season! 22/23 Championship 14,737 21/22 Championship 13,032 20/21 Championship - No data 19/20 Championship 11,460 18/19 Championship 14,550 17/18 League One 12,832 16/17 Championship 12,688

Haven't our average attendances been steadily increasing in recent years? I'm sure I read somewhere that they had?

Give the town a successful side and the crowds come out in numbers, its always been that way, as your point clearly shows Mashed.

Has Pears left too?

I posted this a week or so ago on another thread, Waggotts latest interview was pretty frank and honest for me, supporting the point above from a former member of this Parish. Here we have a lower league CEO with one hand tied behind his back, working for a Championship club with abysmal owners, nothing more than that really.

Football seasons back, it’s hammering down in West Yorkshire! But as we all know, the sun always shines on Ewood Park. John Bull for dinner, few pints and 1-1 draw against promotion candidates West Brom. Oh I do like to be beside the seaside oh I do like to be beside the sea oh I do like to walk along the prom prom prom, where the brass band plays, **** off West Brom.

One club receives £44m this season from parachute payments, one club receives £7m. Come on Wednesday, the odds are stacked firmly against you.
