I come up from N. Wales (200 mile round trip), the 'red button' doesn't influence me but for my 2 lads - who now have the 'kids/work/wives' thing to deal with, it does have an effect. For them, it's seen as a 'positive' and they're now able to watch games that before they weren't able to. There's been no talk (yet) of them stopping their season tickets but there's been quite a few home games where we haven't made it to the game.

waggot's 'away fans' policy going well.

Class summary. Smallwood by far a better player than Evans. Palmer will never become a playrr you can rely on (not defensive) Armstrong poor. Dack invisible. Rovers ?

all very discouraging

he is a 'proper fan' as much as anyone. Read 'gumboots' assessment of her feeling of alienation after the BBE Upper was closed and you'll (hopefully) get some understanding.

A few games into the season and my opinion about the closure of the DE to attract more away support has not changed. Just why do we as a club not put away fans in the upper tier? (many clubs do this to away fans to negate their support) Has the atmosphere changed for the better since the closure? (imo NO) I've gone back to BBE and all i see are people who would've been in the DE and the usual persecution of home fans by inept security.

zzzzzzzzz talk about making a molehill into a mountain. Bore off. We've got a massive game on Saturday. Everything else is just blah blah blah. Get over yourselves and your fake indignation

I wonder how you would be feeling if you were Bradley Dack, right about now.

wishing him a speedy recovery!

It's on the sleeve. The matetial is going to come into contact with things but you would hope that it would be able to cope. I've literally worn it from the car to the game and back.

awful game. I was disappointed with Nuttall. This was his opportunity to make an impact and he was awful. Couldn't hold the ball up. Didn't track back. Didn't put a challenge in (running by the side of a player who has just dispossessed him?!) His chance missed. I like Rothwell as a starter but he's not a winger and he just couldn't drifting into the middle and leaving the lhs exposed.

Well, that didn't last long! I've only worn it twice (home games). Disappointing quality from an item costing £55.

I'll be pleasantly surprised to see Dack play. Nuttall was being spoke of as a starter last season and he's bulked out a bit so i wouldn't mind seeing him given game time (he can't be any worse than Samuel) Difficult afternoon.

Yes!! it mattets Someone who has put minimal effort in suddenly ups his game because he's out of contract, soon. All that will happen is, he'll achieve his aim and then slip back to coasting through game (he's already given us a glimpse of the disdain that players feel towards 'us'

did anybody notice the club shop was closed after the game? Been awhile since i was on the BBE side of the ground so not sure if this is usual?

Reading fans packing the DE out

least my prediction is still on ?

absolute nightmare journey up ???? Let’s hope it was worth it COYB!!!!

Tough one to call. It's got 'banana skin' written all over it. We just have to play with the determination that we showed on Saturday and everything will be okay. I hope. Maybe. 3 2 Rovers
