Yes the prices have been ludicrous for a while now and I have long time refuse food and drink inside the stadium. maybe for the daughter if she wants to but myself and others I go with we buy a burger from the burger van outside the Blackburn End which offered good quality food and its twice the quality of Rovers food. Drink wise, I buy mine from my local shop before the game

Yes he is still here. He was in the director box on Saturday sat next to Pasha. But yes Steve should be coming out to explained where we are with FFP rules, lack of kits for sale in club shop, ground maintenance, targets for the season and etc.

Thanks for info. Hope we get Healey from Toulouse if we don't get a permanent striker in then only 3 people to blame and not of it is the fault of the staff af the club or fans

Any names who this striker target could be? And how much we looking to spend? I noticed Poveda didn't take number 7. I agree that our under 23's has some talent there but would they not benefit from first team football in league 1 or 2 like Carter and Wharton but didn't for Vale last season

2 posters have heard the same thing so not hearsay at all It's been over 6 months since I wanted gone for various reasons like tactics, not using certain players in right positions, no clear transfer strategy which is now costing us big time. Really? My view is value as much anyone in the fan base including yours.

Fair enough Phili

But we have of squad numbers and other positions we need filling like permanent striker, left back first. Wharton is back shortly and maybe look at defender who can right back aswell centre back so you got 2 positions cover by 1 player. Rather play JRC further forward Maybe we should have signed Armstrong's replacement last January and do some forward planning for once.

Wasn't his wages around 40 to 50k a week tho?

Another centre midfielder when we already got 6 players for 3 positions. I would say next positions we need is a permanent striker and left back. Centre back possible but don't want to Carter progress into our team block now. Same with Wharton. No surprise to be honest. More surprise we re sign him in the first place. Isn't Butterworth going on loan anyway to get regular football as planned? There is another 42 games to play yet and Buckley, Dolan, Davenport will get there chance. Would be crazy to turn down that deal. Think Dale would be good signing and given he can play anyone between the front 3 would be ideal. Could be next Armstrong we need. Plus fits the club aged restrictions if true.

Thanks for sharing your info. Spot on. Is Waggott/Mowbray/club confident of signing a permanent striker replacement for Armstrong?. Can you share which managers we spoke to and why they rejected coming here? Give us more attacking options and seems to have good quality. Hopefully we use him properly in a wide righg role or number 10. Just need another 3 or 4 signings now

New contract with pay rise

Why would a Rovers fan post it then? Disagree. Mowbray has been backed everytime. You do like sticking up for him over. I think Mowbray has overrule his chief scout too many times and hence why he left. Why would Phili post these things if not true?

Guess this is one of the reason why Stuart Harvey left cos Mowbray refuse to listen to him? do you have any names for each signing? Was the Pickering signing Mowbray decision or a decision made by the club following the recommendation of Harvey and recruitment department? thanks in advance

I've not saying you have said recklessly spending but Mowbray lack of planning and proper organise transfer plan for each season has cost us. And it appears that him and Waggott screwed up this season budget. I think Mowbray was surprised he is still in a job but is this down to the club not able to bring in the right replacement. Didn't someone post that we spoke to Wilder, Neil and Nathan Jones this summer about replacing Mowbray. Can't remember who said it btw I hope we do sign a permanent replacement for Armstrong. I think Dale would be decent for a million or even Morris from Barnsley for a couple of million pounds I hope we have a new footballing structure at the club by next summer and new man in the dugout. Healthy kitty? Only after a similar budget to what Mowbray had in a season. Thats all. Invest it wisely and sensible. Surely Mowbray knew Armstrong would be gone this summer if we werent promote so why not look at buying a replacement for him last January. Whether he would got the finances to do so I don't know but surely some long term planning should have happen at club. Maybe having a Director of football with Head coach structure would served us much better.

well Pasha was sat next to Waggott on Saturday at the game if my eyes are correct. Why doesn't Pasha recommend the removal of Waggott, Cheston and Mowbray from the club? Thats my point to RF99 that the Armstrong's sale hasn't bought enough money into the club for sign 4 or 5 permanent signings

Went into the club shop this morning and they were few people inside. think the new setup inside is well set up and plenty of space. Shame about the lack of adults home, away and 3rd shirts on sale but I believe its supply issue with Macron.

do we know how many season tickets we have sold?

Waggott and Cheston should have been removed this summer. We need fresh blood and people inside the boardroom who know the rules and can work the rules to our advantage

But the Armstrong fee has come into the club and 40% of gone to Newcastle so thats around 6 million pounds gone. But as Phili's comments has pointed out Waggott, Mowbray and Venus come up with the plan each season and Venkys/Pasha sign it off. So surely its Waggott and Mowbray fault not the owners? But if we overspend this summer it will affect next season budget and we could be break FFP rules next season. So it could be 12 months of careful planning this season of not over spending following by higher transfer spending next season hopefully under a new manager/footballing structure. Yes I agree with you I would like us to buy 3 or 4 players this summer but not if its effects us next season FFP wise and Embargo wise. I didn't see that comment until after I replied to previous post of yours. We knew if we wasn't going up that Armstrong would move on so surely last January we had players in mind who we could sign as replacements but he choose not to buy a replacement before we sold Armstrong this summer. that would have given the new striker 6 months head start. Maybe even a foreign striker and allow 6 months to settle into the area and club but Mowbray refuse/didn't.

was this comment made before the Dack injury at the Wigan home game in December 2019 More stupid spending rules instead of allowing club owners to invested whatever they want instead of these rules that will favour the big supporters teams and Relegated PL teams again. But thats what the EFL want? Surely last January Mowbray and the club knew that Armstrong would be sold this summer and most of the out of contract players would be released which was the right decision. So why didn't he sign a permanent replacement for Armstrong last January? or why haven't we sign one since AA left us? It will be interesting to see who we sign.

Well we have to see over the coming seasons but a club of Rovers size cannot keep running at wage to turnover it has over the past seasons can it? So we need a proper short term, medium and long term plan from the footballing people at the club I hope we can invest a few million pounds into a permanent striker signing myself but we have to meet these daft FFP rules(which I never been in favour from moment one as they favour bigger clubs with bigger budgets.) Can't blame Venkys for the FFP rules. Surely we have to work in whatever market we have? We need 4 or 5 signings before the deadline including a permanent striker, wide man, left back and centre back. These players like Poveda and Clarkson clearly have their ability and talent otherwise they wouldn't be Leeds United and Liverpool would they? Who are these quality freebies out there? Can you give me an example of a striker who has the quality we want? Would you want Connor Wickham here? Surely there is a reason why they are still unattached at this stage of the season? More experience PL players who are available are on big wages. What is Ben Davies wages or Matt Clarke wages? spending more money on these expensive wages would mean less signings? Also can you expect why it unnecessarily strict budget considering the last 3 years financial backing Mowbray has received in terms of transfers fees and wages? Maybe if Mowbray has been better in the transfer market and use the money more wisely in the first 2 seasons and maybe we wouldn't be in this situation.

After the 3 game unbeaten and after beating Forest Rovers/Waggott should have dropped the price of the WBA game to 15 pounds for Rovers fans and refund any fan who paid the 32 pounds price before the game

where would a singing area go? and haven't we already sort of got this in Blackburn End top NO1 area? I sit in NO2 area of Blackburn End and for me there is plenty of cheering, encouraging, singing from Blackburn End to the players and some what to Mowbray. So close the Darwen End then?
