I am not going to argue with you, over my opinion. But it is a good job Alex Furguson didn't read those same statistics.

I am not lowering my standards. Those I have mentioned, I think will play Rovers first team, or above, regularly. You mentioned Buckley, not me.

Personally as well as Garrett, I would add Burns, maybe Pike, definately Phillips.

So basically we have got Pickering and Cirino for the left back position. Last season we had Bell and Douglas. To me that is an improvement.

Are there any strikers, of the required standard, who want to be at the Rovers ?

But your statement was along the lines of, if a player does not want to come to the Rovers in the first place. Then forget them. My point was that, this was exactly the situation with Mike Newall. Luckily the Rovers did not follow your mantra.

I am glad we didn't adopt that stance with Mike Newall

For £30k a week ,I would consider it.

Coming shortly to a ground near you : Season ticket holder in the Riverside, tough, it's closed.

And did you bite ?

But looking on the bright side, a fairly good start to the campaign.

Correct I went to the Swansea game to hopefully show my displeasure at our management structure. It might have been a waste of time, but it made me feel better. The result of the game made me feel even better.

Aways and U23s. Luckily both U23s have been free so far, probably due to the replacement season ticket bedacle, long may it continue.

People can make their own choices and do what they like. What irritates me a little is people who buy season tickets and then complain about what is wrong with the running of the club. If you don't like a product, then don't buy it.

If they were to choose any reasonable area, it would not alienate that many season ticket holders. NO1 I would suggest, has a fair percentage of people who would take up the standing option. Anyone who wants to sit, could just move across to NO2. Not a major change of view.

A standing section of the correct size and location, priced correctly, would be filled most games.

And yet people still buy season tickets ?

Yes

What do you think ?

If Mowbrays possession based football reappears, watch the crowds drop even further.

I would say, the Riverside would be the easiest place to convert to a standing area. The ideal place would be on the Blackburn End.

Is the other clubs player going to be sat on the bench. Or straight into the team because we change our formation to suit that.

Is he better than Carter ? Only time will tell.

He's going to set the league on fire. Flaming heck.

months ?
