Possibly!

It doesn't mean anything then?

Clearly the club believes a big showing by our fans will assist us to the play-offs. Any season-ticker holder would want that I'd have thought.

or "and by coincidence"

He could do nothing at all for the rest of his life! How can we compete with that?

Didn't know where to put this, not worth a thread of its own. Read an article Phil Jones recently. his contract is up in summer and there's no chance of it being renewed. Before we get upset for him though, he's earned (or better put received) over £42M since he joined united 11 or 12 years ago! It works out at £300,000 per game! What's most astonishing is that, despite his many injuries he kept getting new contracts and always with a significant increase. Inexplicably his last renewal was in 2019 when he actually got a big increase although he'd hardly played at all before this and hardly played thereafter The gravy train eh?

1) the privilege of watching Douglas destroy teams every week 2) Turf Moor 6th road Cup tie---0-3 to 3-3 3)1995 season 4)Cardif League Cup final 5)Spurs 7-2

Nothing negative about it at all.

Didn't"t agree with that. Morton had a mixed game for me. However don't let that quote from a different article spoil the one you're half-way through!

Fantastic article on refereeing in the Premiership.Great insights. Very long---I expect only Arbitro will read it! https://www.theguardian.com/football/2023/mar/21/inside-world-premier-league-football-referees-pgmol-howard-webb-andre-marriner-darren-england

I hope its our turn to choose the ref if we do!

Yep---£100M to finish bottom plus 3 years parachute money.

!969---freezing cold? I took my the fiancé to that game. The swaying on the Riverside terrace that night was frightening. She stood against the barrier and I stood behind her with both arms on the barrier, stiff as ramrods to protect her. Rather gallant I thought! Anyhow it worked!.

Who's turning it into an expectation? I was expressing a hope!

Do you think so? Plenty of women attend our matches, surely some of them are married. More and more Asians are following Rovers but virtually none of them are women. I was merely expressing the hope that that changes with time and whole families are mad about us. What's wrong with that?

At the risk of being a bit controversial, "Asian lads" it was and great to see. Be better when they take their wives and girlfriends with them though. I expect that's s few generations away yet.

Seriously mate, hats off to you! Pity you weren't refereeing!

Absolutely brilliant. Brought tears to my eyes, particularly when I saw a bloke with a rattle!

Priorites for summer, a recruiting team who can identify talent early, dedicated officials who can complete the formalities in time and owners who will sanction the transfers and pay the required wages. Oh---and a sensible ticketing strategy! All that and we would soar.

Great that the club's initiatives to build up our support are working. Let's extend it beyond Blackburn's boundaries like we used to. Up to Lancaster as I recall.

Yet no Rovers player appealed for it......

if we keep JDT....what he's doing won't have gone unnoticed.

Ditto!

Also said JDT is taking us places.

Yes I was there and that was hotly contested and regarded as an aberration at the time. I didn't care because we'd been denied a better claim earlier. Foul on Douglas I think. Happiest day of my life!
