There have been some good points on this thread. One on particular is the generation problem. We don’t have enough of those generational hand-me-down fans to support Waggott’s current model - and he isn’t looking to attract new fans. Tell you what though sign a Muslim player of Indo-Pakistani heritage and that could change. If we can’t do that with Venkys USP then nobody can.

Alternatively we go cheap/subsidised and get people into the ground. Right now, the hardcore notion of “I pay £400+ therefore so should everyone else and I’ll oppose any scheme to make it cheaper” is going to kill us.

Third option is completely unpalatable to fans, (despite it making the most sense) because of tribal notions from those 150-year traditions. Someone needs to buy Bury’s league share, relocate to Leyland, and create Lancashire County FC, á la MK Dons. That will be a tough few years for them though.

North west club either need to adapt or die, regardless of their position on the ladder.

Hmm, I wonder where I’ve heard that before?

And you didn’t miss much at Ewood pal!

I would say playing me is a better option to playing Bell.

Agreed Hart or one of the u23s couldn't do any worse but in reality Downing is the only fit alternative to Bell.

We need a proven quality LB to progress.

One day you will post something positive about the England cricket team. I’m guessing most people would have taken bowling the Aussies our for around 250 when we lost the toss this morning. Their best batsman carried them along, it happens. 

We also lost our best bowler after just 4 overs. Give England some credit.

Check his Brexit posts Andy, nothing positive there.

He's right though. We had them 122-8; they've now more than doubled that score. We've let them off the hook and possibly a winning position. 

And there is the king of negativity (and dual identities ?)

Reedy that's a proper blast from my childhood, dad had the single. 

"Corry Evans is a better fit in that position than Johnson."

And at this point I stopped reading it.

"Have you seen that new lass selling pies in the kiosk at the end of the Riverside?"

No ta. 

I personally believe that Lambert is a very cunning person, I'm glad he's not at Ewood anymore. 

Has anyone who has a MacBook Pro tried logging in to follow?

Cheap tickets wouldnt get me going. Ive not had a ST since them lot took over, i now dont miss it, thats the problem youll have with many people, the owners ruined the club and its still in tatters, no matter what some think. I go down maybe 5 home games a season, atmosphere is awful, no life in the stadium, its gotten worse under waggot, and when i go i confirm to myself that i aint missing anything. Love away games mind, but newt entices me to ewood, bar a free ticket, and maybe a midweek game when theres newt to do midweek  

People wont like the above but thats how many will view it.

Waggot should be communicating with the likes of you pal to solve this conundrum. That guy hasn't got a bloody clue, why the hell did he close the Darren End to home fans? That action together with closing the family stand in the Blackburn End annoyed a lot of people.

Never going to happen. Far too expensive for the Asian community. They won't shell out money on something they can watch on their lap top or phone. Football isn't ingrained in them. 

No Asian players either. Non starter and not just at Blackburn. Bradford City tried a scheme years ago trying to engage the Muslim community and get them involved offering free tickets. Plenty went on the freebies but didn't go back. 

Utter rubbish, Ive noticed a heck of a lot more Asians coming down to Ewood compared to 20 years ago say. A bit of a negative attitude from you, convinced you're a knob ender on the wind up. 

And from a different thread:

"Finney was better than Best"

Gotcha.

Bury are claiming they have funds in place and technically they seem to have more senior players available than Bolton, so I wonder what the sticking point is there?

Because the league are disgracefully doing their damnedest to throw a lifeline to Bolton whilst not giving a toss about Bury. Im fuming about it. If Bury go bust Bolton should equally be thrown out of the league. 

Who gives a toss what baggies think, he’s not playing for them this season he’s playing for us. Course they’ll be bitter.

Well I dreamt 5-1 last night. Travis was one of the names on the score sheet. For the life of me I can’t remember the others.

So Trav scores five and the other name on the score sheet was an opponent for their one goal, sounds like a good prediction to me?
