Armstrong plays Conway in and he fluffs it

floodlights seem a bit dim on our left hand side

fair point about the defence. Seems to be coming through the middle. Either the defense isn't being protected by the midfield or, as you say, complacency. But it's been an enjoyable half. No changes at the half

decent half of football. Can't fault any Rovers player. Firsy 2 goals for us were too easy. Travis and Rothwell impressing. Carlisle making a game of it. Their #16 looks a tidy player.

cracking shot hits the bar Carlisle

4 palmer

half a chance from a corner rover's still 1 3

we've lost our way

Travis playing okay made a mistake on we go

Carlisle have woken up nearly 2 2 corner

Palmer being careless with the fouls

1 0 rovers

Has no one thought to get some of Venky's connections in the business world to sponsor/advertise at Ewood? Although the 'Venky's' logo is toxic, no one really caress who is putting money into the club

This about sums things up. Such a shame that the club (waggot & stooges) turned their back on loyal rovers people.

when the DE was reserected by Ben Summer, we weren't intetested in being by the away support... it was S01.The corner of the DE. Purely to try to improve the poor atmosphere around Ewood.

There were games last season that were memorable for the support and passion... Shrewsbury springs to mind. Probably a game that reminded me of what being in the DE was all about. I did have a look ay the JWL W02 and realised how unsuitable it is for us to be there (because of the age/disabilities of the supporters) I also did notice some elder supporters that seemed to be enjoying the atmosphere. What you seem to forget is the frustration that is felt because of the move and literally having nowhere in the ground that feels like 'home'. Such was the feeling after the DE closure, there was lots of discussion with my kids if we should even bother with the season tickets.

Putting the away fans upstairs in DE would surely be less expensive (not by much, i'd wager) due to the fact that the there wouldn't need to be security between them and the pitch (not that it is of much use).

We all support the club by going to games ect. When the match starts, there is a difference. Do you think your support counts for much by sitting silently, spectating? Yesterday, the usual headsof security/police were by the side of W01 watching to see what 'we' would get up to. They didn't stay long as they knew that, for them, it was 'job done'. They'd got rid of what had been a nuisance. I applaud the post where someone acknowledges the fact thay the reason there's been no support from the club with relocation is because they wanted to break the support up, so it is scattetrd abd ineffectual as a point of vocal dissent. All through the years of the DE, home fans were treated as hostiles. Our support isn't valued.

because our new MD decided that he wants to promote away support (true story).

Arrogant. This from somone who sits in the JWU. Someone who just sits and watches a game IS a spectator. In your description of 60+, i'm surprised you didn't throw in any women and children ?

the Riverside seemed to be a bit empty today?
