Penwortham Blue

Given all his issues since joining, I keep forgetting that Ennis is a Blackburn Rovers player ! His playing career at the club certainly hasn’t started yet !

I wouldn’t disagree with this at all but it is a toss of a coin which of Hyam or Carter to drop out, both been poor recently.

I like JDT, think he is a good coach and could have easily taken us up, they just needed to give him a small amount of backing, say £3/5m and maintained the wage budget. Even as it stands, I don’t think we are far from being a good team and on our day, we can undoubtedly beat anyone in this league. Unfortunately, very little seems to run for us on the luck front and you can’t keep missing guilt edge chances and slipping sloppy goals, without being at the wrong end of the table. I am desperately hoping for a minimum 4 point haul from Coventry and QPR but in all honesty, I can’t see us turning the tide until the next Ewood fixture. Truly hope that I am wrong.

Indeed, a golden age when we were on our knees and he brought us back up and then very nearly made it to the top tier the very next season. We were skint but he wasn’t bothered about taking years for a journey, just happy to make us incredibly hard to beat and loving 1 0 wins. Still remember the hurt at Eastville, we did our job that day, Kevin Stonehouse (RIP) with the goal but Preston losing to Swansea saw us miss out.

I’m in Spain and can’t find a bar to watch, frustrating. Only hope is that we still somehow take a point, Dolan certainly well overdue a goal.

Think it will be a decent game. On our day, we can beat any team in this league, that includes Leicester City, at Ewood.

The lad who was Max in Brookside and before that in Crossroads way back, a big Rovers fan, from Snuffy Harwood if I remember correctly, did ok. Then there is the Dr Who chap 😂

Amazing statistic really. I was standing next to Edmondson’s Dad & Grandad at Harrogate, obviously proud as punch when he got on and then scored. I’m really hoping that he can make it now.

Just posted similar, totally agree JHRover.

Couldn’t agree more, a once in a generation opportunity to sell ST and longer term fixed price ST, say 3 / 5 year discounted options. As it was, the biggest Rovers gathering in Ewood since the EPL Championship party had nothing to promote or sell, ST’s came out months later, almost into the new season. Fucking amateurs.

Shameful, didn’t you take the opportunity afforded by such proximity 🤷‍♂️

My guess is that is probably at least 3,000 short of what the gate would have been if Swag hadn’t shut the BBE.

I quite like him but he hasn’t got the pace which would really make him a game changer.

I love the manager. The Venkys and Swag are crushing our club and our spirit but at least JDT seems intent on sending a ‘fuck you’ message to them.

Swag’s crazy world. I’ll close the BBE to save money on staffing and then open it up for corporate 🙈

I went to the first leg at Plough Lane. I was walking to the match and was fretting that I wouldn’t make kick off, when the Rovers team coach passed me. Think they had to change on bus, I got shoved in the home end and the was walked around to join the Rovers fans and we then got hammered, I think it was 5 0 or 5 1. Those were the days 😊

Yep, much, much better than we have

Kaminski was also very poor at corners / set plays. Decent shot stopper but let’s not rewrite history.

Karma 😊

What a fantastic post, spot on and the million dollar question 🤷‍♂️

‘We did all we could’, I had to travel all the way to Mill Hill to get them signed up !

And why is that, ridiculous pricing structure and 13 years of seeing our beloved club, dismantled, brick by brick, lost supporter after lost supporter. There is a way but you need to engage with the fans, lapsed fans and the wider catchment area and not have a policy that looks to take the total cost base from the last attending supporter. We need pricing to drive volume (and revenue) like Bolton / PNE and not SWAG’s non growth, cost model which will only see further decline.

Very convenient indeed 😊
