Use the BRFCS match centre for some proper stats 🙂 https://www.brfcs.com/magazine/football/match/716991/blackburn-sheffield-utd

Superb preview!

Not quite nothing - does liking opposition players Instagram posts help? Include Butterworth who is an offender here too. Many will say this means very little in the grand scheme of things and I do agree to an extent, but it’s so insensitive to the fans. People paid money to go!

@booth can we please get an update?

Is this some sort of trick that I’m not getting?

If I bought Blackburn Rovers yesterday I got the training ground. If I buy them now I don’t.

It’s going to take a hell of a lot to convince me that Rovers no longer owning their training ground is a good thing.

Oh man, I never thought I’d wish for PNE’s manager.

For example, this happens when Brereton scores a hat trick… How this isn’t being seriously monetised by the club is beyond me. Quite frankly, I think BRFCS is earning more from Chilean fans than Rovers are.

I know you’re not mate, it’s just led me to an interesting thought process. How many Rovers “fans” would you say there are left? I honestly think sub 25K nowadays.

Depends which week you look at. Posters are up this season and bans are way down on previous years. Can’t work that out. Visitors where blowing my mind for a long time… then I realised there’s a tonne of Chilean fans viewing whenever Brereton has a good game and that’s skewing the numbers.

Depends where you draw the line I guess. Rovers have 270K Twitter followers, are they all fans? I’m not sure. I’m actually interested to work out what the ‘official’ number would be. If we have 6500 ST sales, I wonder what the conversion is for a fan to get a ST? I think I would say there’s less than 25K ‘active’ Rovers fans left. A lot would probably argue more, but attendances / shirt sales / social media interaction is really low nowadays. To be converting 25% of those 25K ‘fans’ into STs isn’t great.

7% of all the current ST sales currently visiting and reading. 4% currently posting. Not that it matters, but I bloody hate bad stats.

I’m an embarrassment and totally forgot I was doing it after a busy week at work. Apologies.

Jurgen says so.

I’ll take Reading!

Do it again with just Ben Brereton Diaz.

Have you ever wanted to walk out onto the Ewood Pitch? Score a goal in front of the Blackburn end? Send me a message if you can get to Ewood tomorrow for 2pm for some Brereton Diaz fun…

The equivalent of reaching for the fire extinguisher once your house is in flames. This should have been launched 4 months ago.

What does this mean @JohnGo? I’m the only admin on of the forum… and I agree with what you said. So it makes for a very odd argument.

He was sat behind me. He was questioning why the coaches had their hands in their pockets watching them train rather than coaching.

We’re only paying a contribution of 10K / week.

There’s a lesson to be learnt here about Brereton Diaz that as fans we must try and remember. Let’s be honest, before this summer he had nothing going for him apart from physical attributes. Brereton Diaz has now scored more goals for Rovers than Brereton did. That call up to Chile, then Copa America experience, the fan reaction to Diaz. It’s completely turned him around. He’s a huge threat when he’s confident - he’s quick, strong, full of stamina, can poach, can score from distance. Ben Brereton was a 2m pound player. Ben Brereton Diaz is every part of a 7m pound Chilean mega star.

I’d take a pound for Magloire as it stands. Give Nyambe whatever money he wants.

You’re much better at this than me.
