Hey i know we are in some contention for the playoffs but being a realist if we dont win the next two matches its hello championship, I really really hope we do get to the play offs then its who is on a run, (theres always one team who does a run towards the end of the season and gets there, i hope its us).

I usually agree as I dont tend to enjoy the games I illegally watch on ifollow as.much as being there but I did enjoy the game today. That may have just been the performance though or the fact I wasnt watching on my own but it was for me much better than no football at all.

we will be back by september, i said that when this all started, over in Croatia fans are back in the ground, down to defcon 3 here as well.

Great result and others results really gone our way. A side note on ifollow. Rovers ifollow you can currently hear the staff clanging equipment about over a screen of rolling stats. Bristols ifollow now has a full analysis of the game, goal replays. Even had a pre match build up and halftime draws. Night an day to our effort.

Highlights on now

Thanks everyone for the reply, being Rovers daft i may do the cut out. At least we get to keep em.?

Great research. Thanks for this, nice to see it all laid out.

As a seson ticket holder who is not on i play or whatever it is, i am being offered all 9 games on said i player, so in effect 5 free games which would have cost a lot more money, on Joe H list i dont see any of the clubs offering every match or did i miss something.

Correct. It is sending out the wrong message that a hairdresser or barber cannot open their shop to work and have apppintments with 1 person inside at once. And somehow 21 men can congregate and share a football pitch. Once we have some normality like sensible family gatherings and being able to socially distance in a barbers then football should initiate project restart.

 

However, if the footballers are working then they can get tested. Testing people who work in a warehouse packing non-essential luxury items isnt a priority but it's being done.

I think you will find that hairdressers and barbers will be open in June and Pubs in July, go to footy by the end of the year. I was right about Wuhan and i will be on the mark here.?

We don't know the full story on Dack fitness. But Given the transfer window is likely 3 or 4 months away You have no idea on his fitness but He has been working hard he keeps posting on Instagram.

No you cant going around spending money for big money but if you are an owner of a club and have the money to invest in the club then this would be good time to get promotion. Almost buy the promotion

I would expect Bell will get a extension but after that who knows. But we need finish this season 1st and see where we before thinking after summer recruitment.  

we will get players from the north east simples.

Amen to that

You asked people to name names. We don’t want that happening, for reasons I outlined.

They’ve got more money than we have and believe me, the site has faced legal threats before (though not from their family). 
 

Regarding Mr Walker, i remember seeing a documentary from the old factory in stancliffe street, it was Christmas time and apparently the walkers were going to close the factory, until Jack appeared and told the staff go to the pub enjoy Christmas come back and there will be new wagons waiting for you, I used to work at Primrose third Axle in Blackburn, again in deep financial trouble, Jack gave us his fleet of trailers to make supplied the steel, he could have got them cheaper elsewhere but didn't, so for all his perceived faults and alleged nastiness, i think thats just sour grapes, in every factory people fall out with the boss and the mindset changes. there are other stories which i'm sure people on here can share of Mr Walker good and bad, end of the day you dont make millions being nice all the time.

My mum and friends who are care workers got tested weeks ago even without symptoms. Even my dad could have got one cos of mum being a care worker. 

Has something change? 

Parking for patients at Blackburn hospital is free also. 

Well lucky your Mum, we have applied on the web site and due to having no symptoms she cant get one, as for parking etc i was being sarcastic. No reflection on you,  just making comments.

Care workers can get tests every day. They can get home test kits which they can do themselves or go the test centre either at Preston or Manchester. My family and friends have all gone and been test who work in health and social care sector at least once. Blackburn Hospital has a test facility but it looks it just for staff at the hospital. 

Football went private to ensure that none of UK taxpayers money was used to fund their kits or use NHS resources. 

They arent using Government test kits, facilities or staff. 

Actually care workers can't get a test every day , my partner is a Home care worker looking after the elderly in their own homes, we have tried to get her a test just for her own piece of mind, but because she has no symptoms cant get one, also no free pizzas, parking, free mobile blah blah, , Care home workers dont seem to matter.

That's down to the Government. You can't expect football to sort out every single aspect of Society

I know we keep blaming the government, but 90% of Care homes are privately owned, seems to me the owners responsibilities are getting off Scott free.

The tests just say if you have got it or not. Which in turn indicates if you are likely to infect someone else. They don’t make the individual any safer.

Not only that but today you may be clear tomorrow maybe not, even clear in the morning but in the afternoon caught it, So testing is really only a mind set of Oh i'm okay, what you really need is a vaccine. 

To add we have Flu vaccines but these dont always work for everyone, who's to say the Covid-19 vaccine will work for everyone, we just dont know, Also if this country counted the covid fatalities like the rest of Europe, i will use Germany as an example as they have started off the football, our figure would apparently be something like 3500. 

Controversial bit here -  We have to live with this (thanks China, i did say in a post on here weeks ago this started from a lab in Wuhan) so herd immunity i think will be the norm just like it is with flu every year.

Avant West Coast are limiting their seating capacity to enable social distancing.

The luxury coach the first team use seats 37 in normal circumstances. Having to distance from each other would roughly halve that. With a playing squad of say 18 plus coaches and medical staff that in my book would necessitate two coaches.

https://www.rovers.co.uk/news/2018/august/new-coach-more-than-passes-the-test/

I can't answer your other questions.

Pointless, what happens during a corner, stay 6ft apart, no of course not,  so no need for 2 coaches.Common sense gone out of the window.

They have shown leadership and made a decision. Whether it’s a good one,we will have to wait and see.

Leadership comes in many forms, this particular leadership is not about the safety of players, its Financial leadership,(in my opinion)

Tests will pick up asymptomatic carriers though. That's the whole point. The only risk I can see is that one or two players might pick up the virus between the most recent test to playing and the game but I'd imagine private test results can be obtained fairly quickly and that that risk is relatively low.

If we're waiting for zero risk or a vaccine before football resumes, we might still be sat here in ten years time. A satisfactory  vaccine might never be developed and the virus might be something that is always with us but something we learn to live with as greater herd immunity is achieved.

I guess you all realize Covid-19 is a form of flu, albeit a more serious strain, you get a flu jab every winter if you are old enough or have underlying health conditions, i fear this strain will be here for many years so its a jab every year and take pot luck.

Also many thousands die of Flu every year. The thing is we are used to Flu,  i'm thinking in years to come Covid-19 will be the same

You believe anything you read. If you want it to happen don't you?  A vaccine (if one is ever found) is at least 18 months away on the streets......

Personally my belief is that this is man made and a vaccine won't be found...

If it was man made then there is a vaccine waiting in the wings, now where could that be Chinaaa  perhaps, On another note how are the authorities going to stop players from spitting during games, will it be a sending off offence.

Josh Maja is by far the best player in Netflix history 

Had they paid him something like what his agent wanted he would have probably stayed and got them promoted, as soon as he left the goals dried up, instead being bullish as he or his agent is not telling us what to do, he gets 1mill euro, then spends £3m on Grigg

I will add i watched the lot in 2 days, really good, Charlie and Stuart do come across as passionate, if a little arrogant in Charlies case, but crikey the staff must have been on easy street for years.

Had they paid Maja what his agent wanted or somewhere near, his goals would have got them promoted, instead being bullish as in they're not dictating to us, he gets 1million Euros, then spends £3million on Grigg who couldn't hit a barn door. Also disrupted the team, you could see some players were not happy, They lost several games drew when probably Maja's goals would have won games, instead they got to the play offs and lose, this season in 7th or 8th i think, looking like another season in L1, very sad as they have good supporters. Money must be a big big issue right now for them as the owner is not mega rich.
