No idea what you're talking about. I said "inside the ground".

A couple of things I noticed just from being sat in the Riverside - two broken signs need removing or replacing and the far wall needs cleaning and re- painting. Would probably cost next to nothing in the general scheme of things but just shows the owners (if they know) or more probably their lackies couldn't care less. Jack's statue needs restoring back to its original condition as well.

The crowd today. Exceptionally sparse. Id say about 7k.

If he does keep putting the ball in the net I don't really mind. It's if he doesn't the problem arises as I still think his all round game is terrible. He's like Jordan Rhodes but nowhere near as clinical in front of goal and with a worse all round game imo. However if he can notch something approaching 20 goals he'll do for me.

The good news: The ticket worked. Let a lad in the turnstiles booth actually scan the tickets. (Cant see the point if you need someone there to scan multiple tickets etc but hey ho) We won. Good job they gifted us a second. Could have been a different game without that. Academy graduates Litherland and Pratt excellent. Baradji looked very good when he finally made an appearance. The bad news Soul less experience, barely 7k on no matter what the official figure may be. Unexceptional game between 2 poor sides. Ewood is in a right state - from Jack's statue to the ground itself. My mate up from London commented we had zero presence up front. Generally the two strikers were either on either flank with no-one in the middle or they got outmuscled and the ball was straight back on us. As good as he looked, Baradji isnt much use if he can only manage 25 mins. Enjoyed the win but unless things change drastically, probably won't be back until the same time last year.

Was surprised at how little anti Venky's sentiment there was inside the ground today. Probably helped we led after 3 mins but only heard one brief "Stand up if you hate Venky's" chant from the Blackburn End on 55 mins. For the most part, although it looked like there were barely 7k on, it was like you were at a perfectly normal Club and nothing had happened over the last 15 years. Others are right it's going to be a tough sell.

Pratt (in particular) and Litherland have excelled since coming in. Can't understand why Academy lads don't get their chance first, as opposed to signing a load of dross from obscure European Leagues then only bringing in Academy lads if there's an injury crisis/suspensions/international call ups etc.

He's desperately poor otherwise though, no wonder he was substituted.

Disagree - they're both crap, just to slightly different levels. Bit like celebrating 3 goal Sam Gallagher coming back in to replace 0 goal Chris Brown maybe? Im looking forward to today for the camaraderie of friends. I expect the match day offering to be absolutely dire. Anything else will be a definite bonus. And I can keep people updated on "WillDinosaurRev'sTicketWork" saga. 😯

Shouldn't make the slightest difference whether there's 1k on or 25k they're just poor players.

That's completely uncalled for.

That will no doubt be me tomorrow with a big queue forming behind..... 🤣

That's a disgraceful comment from Bayes. It took Ismael one full game and eight minutes of his second to unravel all Eustace's good work.

Pasha has also insinuated as much in the car crash interviews and to the Fans Forum.

He's done a rapid backtrack on not wanting any loans then..............

Think so - I'll find out tomorrow!!

Ok - fair enough.

Ah ok thanks - just had an e mail about it. I have no idea what a Google wallet is, tend not to use my phone for paying for stuff but Ill persevere and get there eventually I guess. Does this mean you can't attend matches if you dont have a smart phone?

Just ordered 2 tickets for tomorrow online, an incredible faff, having to re-register an account etc - why do they make things so difficult? No instructions whatsoever online about where to actually pick the tickets up from - can anyone assist in that respect please?

I'm actually now going to the game tomorrow as a one off, a friend of mine is up from London and wants to go to the game and Ill hopefully be seeing another friend I've not seen for ages who had a cancer diagnosis. Meanwhile the Cap of Honour thing gets ever more bizarre - Nicky Reid the latest recipient.

Boiling it down to this summer's activity, we spent roughly £10m on 10 players. Alebiosu you'd imagine you could sell for a tidy profit. Gudjohnssen has potential for a tidy profit but not there yet imo. Moreshita might just about get money back or a modest loss. The rest you'd think you'd be struggling to give away. Edit: So likely another trading loss if push came to shove but more importantly our Championship status in severe jeopardy.

Or even within it (initially).

Difficult to imagine you could hate someone that badly.

Is it not better though to try and make headway BEFORE we get to the stage where bills aren't paid etc?

Think there's far too much hand wringing and worrying going on about whether or not a boycott will be a major success. We won't know until it's tried but for me if we do nothing the Club dies. If the take up isn't as good as hoped, never mind, move onto something else and/or try again when conditions are different and take up might be more favourable. At the very least organising a boycott brings the issues firmly into the public domain even if initially take up isnt as high as hoped.
