But what a sh*te 12 years it's been!

84 single tickets left in the Blackburn End lower and ~750 left in the whole Jack Walker So those two stands alone we're looking at 15k-16k sold. Looks like about half the Riverside and another 250 sold in the Darwen End +1.5k Bournemouth so far so i'd estimate we're at about 19k-20k already sold. If think we might get 23k which will feel quite full considering the closed upper Blackburn end and half the lower Darwen end. I'm guessing it's also the biggest attendance since Oxford at home. We should be upselling the hell out of all the walk-ons. Improve the 'fan zone', season ticket info on seats, £5 off next seasons kit voucher (means they'd have to come back in a few months) etc....

Is it a good or a bad thing that this has been announced a day before we want them to beat Sheffield United?

We’re a 7/1 shot following that Boro win (12.5% chance). Take out the margin bookmakers add in and we’re probably 9/1 true price (10% chance) That’s just to make the top 6

Blackburn End Lower and Jack Walker Lower pretty much sold out. We should get to 9k at least in the Jack Walker by the looks of it. So with away fans that’s 16k before Riverside and Darwen End (home) added on.

Luton 6 points ahead with 2 games to go, obviously unrealistic but still a 1 to 5% chance or so that we win 2 and they lose 2. Mental he’d be allowed to referee based on that, let alone that his home town are our opposition.

Update… Rovers need: - To beat Bournemouth (H) and Birmingham (A) And 2 of the 3 below: - Middlesbrough drop points in any of their 2 games (i.e don’t get 6 points) against Stoke (H) or PNE (A) - Luton lose against both Fulham (A) and Reading (H) - Sheffield United pick up a maximum of 3 points from QPR (A) and Fulham (H)

Awful - the semi finals are regularly as good as football gets and the two legs (with no away goals as it should be) is the way to go. Sounds like a money spinner to get it somewhere neutral (like Wembley semi-finals for the fa cup)

Fuck me - surely we have grounds to change this (ignoring the fact he’s absolutely useless)

3.5k sold as of yesterday +9k already signed up to a deal and 1.9k Bournemouth if they sell all theirs means we’re at about 14.5k (+ whatever we sold today) I think 18k total could be possible….we shouldn’t have opened the Darwen End lower though.

18k home fans would be some effort considering we only have 9k season tickets / half season tickets / final 5 tickets holders.

Yeah obviously. I was factoring that into the Carlsberg Saturday hence us moving 6th 😉 Unfortunately QPR probably the only team worse than ourselves currently so I think we’ll be 6 points adrift come kick off on Saturday…albeit not out of it still.

I thought he was a far better attacking threat than Nyambe, who seems to not have a clue when he gets in the opposition 3rd (Stoke at home was the worst I’ve seen from him) Lovely cross from Lenihan for the Brereton header off the bar, and a few nice balls through too. I actually don’t think Nyambe has an assist all season (I looked on soccerway but there may be more accurate sites). That’s pretty shocking considering he’s been RWB as well as RB.

If Carlsberg did Saturdays a win would see Rovers sneak into 6th and Bournemouth drop down to 3rd!

All this talk of Gallagher getting 10 a season if he was played in the correct position......he has 9 this season having only started 26 games and has been played out wide for the majority of the season (and 20 minutes at left back). For reference: Khadra 4 from 18 starts and Dolan 4 from 20 starts. He would comfortably get 10+ a season in this team if he was used correctly, and I am regularly critical about him, albeit more his positional sense and not using his height/strength. (27 players in the league have 10 goals this year with 2 games to go). I thought he had a great game yesterday and was the only player to hold their head high versus Stoke (and Buckley from the bench). Certainly deserves to be starting based on recent performance.

Rovers need: - To beat Bournemouth (H) and Birmingham (A) And 2 of the 3 below: - Middlesbrough drop points in any of their 3 games (i.e don’t get 9 points) against Cardiff (H), Stoke (H) or PNE (A) - Luton lose against both Fulham (A) and Reading (H) - Sheffield United pick up a maximum of 3 points from QPR (A) and Fulham (H)

More fans there than expected. It was one I planned to fly in for until it was moved to Monday (I was grateful for that after Easter!) I though Lenihan was superb at RB. Waggott will be happy we might shift a few more for Bournemouth now

Comical from the referee. It’s pure incompetence.

First time in a while that Diaz has looked fit and my god we’re so much better when he is.

We’ve turned up again now Bruce has confirmed he’s staying at WBA next season 😉

The Tombola strikes again

They’re so out of touch it’s beyond belief. Record home defeat, Record losing runs and expect record low crowds to be added to this lots honours. The difference in income between £429 and £299 =~ a year of Daniel Ayala’s wages give or take, and that’s without accounting for any increase on the 8,000 that lowering the price may add. It’s just so minuscule in the grand scheme of things yet it’s crushing our fan base. Our cheapest adult season ticket will be in the top 5 most expensive in the league next year. The cut-off point for the price freeze too, wow, it’s like that idiotic match day surcharge all over again. He gets paid £300k a year for this!!!! (which rather conveniently is quite close to the £30 increase x 8,000)

Is that ever surprising? He’s always desperate for at least 3 changes each match. It just depends whose name comes out the tombola.

It wouldn't make much sense that Travis and Kaminski both signed new deals would it? Also not a chance that Rothwell or Nyambe would want to play under Mowbray elsewhere (Lenihan is the only plausible player in this scenario)

Spineless, pathetic and useless, Gally the only player who can come off with his head held high and being one of his loudest critics it’s pleasing to say that. He looked like the player he can be, while Diaz looked unfit. Starting Bradley Johnson was just pure Tombola Tony….(Gallagher LB, Johnson False 9 etc). Then the irony of Josh Maja dominating our lot too felt too much to watch. My only enjoyable moment was the 30 seconds of Stoke fans singing Only One Jack Walker. Mowbray has butchered this so much. Rock bottom 24th over the last 15 games. Man of honour my arse
