Tight Fit - Fantasy Island 

Anyone know if this game is on sky on the red button?

Its happening with Barnsley, it's also happening with Preston, it will happen with Luton, its already happened with Huddersfield. Small clubs that usually float between the 2nd and 3rd divisions are catching up to us and overtaking us.

There are two responses to that. Shrug your shoulders, have a moan, then use it as an excuse for us struggling on the pitch. Or do something about it. 

I'm afraid shuffling prices about a bit whilst maintaining a price increase, coming up with daft competitions (does Waggott seriously think that people are going to cough up for a season ticket just to potentially give themselves a £10,000 lottery ticket?) are not going to deliver the numbers we need.

There's more to it than simply 'freezing' the price and sticking a few posters up and some videos on Twitter. We are way behind the game these days as the club has been reduced to a skeletal staff with little idea on how to grow the fanbase. 

Football is changing and we are getting left behind. Is that because we are as a club behind the times or because Blackburn is a unique place in the country that doesn't react to things the same as everywhere else? I know what I think is the answer. 

The whole club needs revitalising and there needs to be an acceptance that we are falling well short as a club. A quick look at Stanley under Holt shows what can be done on a budget to increase numbers. I've done it to death the lack of interest in doing things at Ewood, even from minor things such as improving the bar offerings.

Weve closed home areas down, moved people around, put no effort into relocating them. The Darwen End area - not my cup of tea but certainly better than it being closed. Most clubs are actively trying to build singing sections next to away fans, we are actively discouraging that by moving away fans upstairs and breaking up our singing section. Just ludicrous but typical of the downscaling operation. 

Reading, Huddersfield have recently succeeded in creating singing sections next to away fans. We failed miserably because we had no interest in promoting it or growing it, eventually shutting it when numbers dropped because it saved a few quid.

This.

Just some 4,700 Bolton fans on today to see them get pasted again.

Absolutely pathetic fans. When their club needs them they bugger off.

Oh yeah I cast that game from my mind as we were terrible.

Am I the only one remembering the campaign on this board to move away fans upstairs because they were too effective supporting their side when behind the goals at the Darwen End?

No I remember too and fully agree with sticking the away fans upstairs so it limits their involvement. Just like at places like Millwall or Newcastle.

Lewis Travis is fast becoming my favourite player for us. The levels of graft and enthusiasm are unrivalled. 

If he adds more goals to his game, I fear he won’t be with us for much longer!

More goals? Has he scored yet?

Good to catch up on how the club was leased out to Anderson. It’s hard to believe those things happened. It’s also hard to believe our owners are now football savvy enough not to be mislead again.

Cough......

The Ewood & HB Con club was at the end of the row of takeaways opposite the aqueduct and it was compulsory demolished just over 20 years ago. It's just a bit of derelict ground now.

That’s right. My mistake.

Hanks got it spot on. 

I had. 

Just now, DeeCee said:

Sorry I meant the one across from the Aqueduct. ?

Bloody hell pal, you’re going back a few years there. That was the Ewood and Hollin Bank Club which was demolished about 20 years ago to make room for the new apartment complex. I remember playing snooker there it was freezing, excellent spud pie though.

When people take over an historic organisation, they often talk about preserving the golden thread.

Well, these owners and their employees certainly didn't do that, did they.

Who knows, someone might even get the ridiculous idea of raising matchday prices after midday!

Venkys out, never forgive, never forget.

Is Ewood wmc still open? Aquaduct, Albion, Manxman all used to get good game revenue but sadly the pub trade is dying, especially for pubs of the aforementioned type.

Embrace your local, or lose it.

Certainly is, I'm a member. £2.50 a pint of lager. That must be unbelievably cheap for K Hod who thinks that the ale prices on Ewood are acceptable.

Let’s take a moment to acknowledge  the dire plight of two neighbors due to awful ownership  that could put put them out of business imminently.

Let’s recognize that for all the false starts and bad decisions more from naivety that anything else, our owners have stayed the course and given our manager money to spend. 

We can dream of 1995 but time is now and I am happy that we are building something here not having it destroyed in front of our very eyes with lifelong fans chained to the railings outside. 

Yay, good old Venkys, rah rah rah. Remind me again where we were before they began the destruction of our club?

Oh and all the sky tv millions we have missed out on. 

Oh and them purple b*stards taking our place?

No the commentary was good. They even brought up about Dack and Grahams relationship and how Dack needs to figure out a way to play with a different striker. It was the "punditry" post game with John Goodman and Kevin Davies that I thought was awful. 

 

Kevin f***ing Davies hates Rovers what would expect?

The league should just let them have as much time off as they like and just rejoin when they want to. They should also have a special twelve month transfer window for them as well.
