Full Members Cup parade 1987

The JDT bandwagon rolls into Leicester on Tuesday night for what should be an exciting prospect for Rovers fans, a rare trip into FA Cup 6th round for the winners! The last time we made it that far into the cup was the Liverpool game under Bowyer, which we had every chance to win, but blew the replay at Ewood against an extremely poor Liverpool side over the 2 games. Leicester's league form has been indifferent of late, but they can still lay claim to hammering both Villa and Spurs in February after sneaking past Walsall in the last round of the FA Cup. If Leicester play the full strength side this could be a bridge to far for Rovers, but if Rodgers decides to shuffles his pack its very much game on. How many tickets have we sold?

Its been a very good run of results since the debacle that was Wigan at home and taken in isolation even that wasn't a bad result given the latest haul of points. I think its prevalent to point out that Bpool were without doubt the worse side I've seen at Ewood in years and although I didn't go yesterday, QPR rivalled them by all accounts, but we did get respectable results at 2 of the big hitters in WBA and Watford. Having been beaten down and stamped all over for the past 12yrs by these abysmal owners and successive ridiculous appointments, I'll not be getting carried away. This next run of games will test our credentials as play off candidates, something I never thought I'd be saying at the end of Feb. Be interesting to see what team JDT picks for Leicester, full strength would be my preference, the football club needs to try and win ever match, the fans deserve that much for the unconditional support throughout this torrid period for the club.

Oooooooooo ahhhhhh Gallagher

Ooooooooo ahhhhhhhh Gallagher

Get Dougie on.

We should have won at Sheff Utd, played well on the night, but injuries and fatigue started to kick in around that time and we didn't have the squad to handle it. I think the same will happen again, I hope not, but you can see it coming. QPR 1 Rovers 1

If England win this test in Wellington, it will be the first time since 1890’s they’ve won all the winter tests. Losing the toss was a great start..

The club ran trains to the game, a bloke I used to work with went, one of his best moments watching the club he said, passed away a few years back sadly.

I seem to recall the standing area down the side of the pitch at The Valley was the biggest in the country at one time. But yes amazing scenes. I often wonder how Ewood managed to fit 62,000 on, our record attendance, even 50k+ gates in 1960's, must have been a squeeze, I hope you didn't want the toilet!

It's the last day of the season 1957/58 and for both sides everything rests on this game. Blackburn visit The Valley needing a win to pip Charlton to promotion to the First Division. Scenes outside the ground as over 56,000 turn up. Teams run on to pitch followed by the briefest of action from Blackburn's 4-3 win. https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=JpEre63cNvo

If you've got the time wilsdenrover, have a scrawl back through the thread, lots of nostalgia to go at, a great read.

We have a nostalgia thread: https://www.brfcs.com/forums/topic/34509-brfcs-tv-nostalgia-thread/page/133/#comments I'd like to know where the picture was taken.

Blackpool the worst team at Ewood this season Asia? Including us at times?

With Dolan scoring the winner tonight, a player that gets you out of your seat at times with his ability. Some of the comments above are just bonkers..

Sunderland’s manager wouldn’t be my first thoughts after a home win against Bpool DE, but I’ll leave that one with you.

Yep, we’ve come a long way since the hammering at Rotherham. Hopefully we’ll now push on to claim 2nd place and that final automatic spot.

Some posters just can’t let it go….. Good win tonight against a god awful Bpool side, possibly the worst side to come to Ewood this season? Big Mick working his magic. Onwards and sideways.

Thomas hasn't been poor dally, in fact he been one of the better performers, man of the match for me on his debut. But the lad needs games, he's not match fit and lets face it, he's the least of our worries!

Nothing better than to win a game late on, it had 0-0 written all over it. Having battled through storm Otto tonight myself, I have sympathy for the long track back to South Wales for those Swansea fans, safe journey to you all. Onwards and upwards.

Remember it well SG

Blackburn Rovers 2 Swansea 1 Thankfully I gave the Wigan game a miss in protest over the shambles that was our January transfer window, but back for this one and hoping to hear one or two "You're not fit to run the club" chants, but I won't hold my breath.

It did indeed say 2hrs Atko.

Exactly the same situation as last season….
