Plus Category one Academy regulations require the facilities to be available for the youngsters exclusive use.

All this stuff about a split site is rubbish Neil I've yet to hear one legitimate example of how our facilities lag behind what is now considered to be state of the art. And please don't give me "all under one roof". That's rubbish unless the primary motivation is saving on running costs.

Think you're fishing a bit there Neil. Like you I was never in favour of and still am not in favour of chasing billionaire owners out of the Club. You can't deny though that when they took over we were a reasonably established Premiership side and after a decade of mismanagement we are now in a desperate state. Any comparison to the good old days is of course completely moot as well. Then we were completely skint, now said owners pump in £20 m p.a. to cover any losses and compensate for various cock ups.

I'm absolutely appalled by the comments of yourself and Neil John, but not surprised given your ambivalence when the previous scheme (scam) was being put forward. I can't believe you're still receptive to any replacement of Brockhall after Cheston (according to the minutes) had the nerve to sit in front of you and claim a new training centre could be financed when apparently we can't even afford to finance a new pitch! Have to say as well that as you and Neil and Mushy are in favour of moving the facilities as well as goodness knows who else on there, that is a very disproportionate and unrepresentative range of opinion for such a small group. It should be made plain to the Club that whilst those are your personal views they are not necessarilyrepresentative of those of the fanbase as a whole.

Why would we bring Trybull back? He was absolute garbage last season. That said, we do have form for signing people after disastrous loan spells, Luke Varney, DJ Campbell and more recently in the case of Gallagher an indifferent one.

Thought it was the same person that I knew from the Forum.

Hi Neil? Hope you're well. It's not the Club's job to rejuvenate the town and community by needlessly moving what are essentially private facilities to an inferior location just to suit some in the town hall "Bring it back home?" It's only about 2-3 miles outside the boundary of BWD. You make it sound like it's in Manchester or something. What an insult to Jack Walker.

On the embargo thing, if you're paying someone 300k p.a. to run the Club (Waggott) surely it's not too much to expect to expect them to comply with EFL regulations and submit any accounts or paperwork in timely fashion so as to avoid an embargo? Agree entirely it's the owners fault Waggott and Mowbray are still here.

OK might be someone different then. If that's the case I'd be very suspicious.

I think from memory he has been on the Forum for quite a long time and was on it when I was on it. If it's the same person he seemed a reasonable enough bloke back then but I can't understand why anyone would want to move the training facilities to an underprivileged or run down part of town, which players would want to sign for us then? The facilities are in the best place where they are now. Perhaps he's just hoping any new facility would be sited near to where he lives.

I wish you'd stop making excuses for Mowbray. He's been very well backed and then some since he's been at the Club. The current crisis is entirely of his (and Waggott's) making. Yes, the owners should have seen the warning signs and nipped it in the bud long ago. But Mowbray is the one who's created the latest crisis. No-one else.

Or having Ayala on the books.

So soundly beaten by League 2 Bradford and 1-0 down and being played off the park by League 1 Bolton. This season could be truly humiliating without major changes in the dugout.

He looked exactly the same last pre season as well. If by some chance he's still here After the transfer window shuts he'll have to get his head down.

1) See 2) 2) Gone by Christmas 3) Buckley 4) If Mowbray is here all season bottom 3. If 1 and 2 we should be able to stop the rot and repeat last year's 15th. 5) WBA.

They can object to Rovers selling the land for housing development without which the land per se is of relatively low value.

What annoys me about that is that I can't figure out whether or not the Fans Forum views a sale as a positive thing. Constantly asking if there's any "updates" sort of implies they're hoping a sale will go ahead.

Christ, here we go again, I didn't think they would have the brass neck to try again quite so soon. This is the one thing they shouldn't be allowed to get away with, players come and go and can be replaced. Once infrastructure is gone it's gone and the current incumbents at Ewood won't be here much longer anyhow due to their age if nothing else. If a progressive manager who was taking us places and a forward thinking CEO had a different vision for the Training facilities that might be a bit different. But this lot will just bugger off into the sunset leaving us with nothing. For me this was why it was so imperative they were all replaced at the end of last season before they had chance to revisit this scheme.

Tell me lies tell me lies tell me sweet Waggott lies......

Sounds like he means in terms of the type of personnel coming in.

In the last "normal" season the figure was 8,500 though wasn't it?

Don't even joke about it.

Yep, the usual "we had an offer in for him but were pipped at the post by someone offering more" sob story no doubt. How long's Park been here now? 2 weeks? Nice "work" if you can get it.

Absolutely spot on. I'd still do that now and the one thing you could say is that we'd get more for Armstrong now than we would have done at the start of the window.

Think it was said in the LT we were only contributing £2k p.w. to Trybull. Still 2k too much for me. The rest were presumably all more expensive.
