Rovers v Leeds: 9th December 2023

[Barmitzvah Boy]

An early start on Saturday due Police advice.

Rovers host durty Leeds and their less than pleasant fans. We could have done with the wonderful Suella Braverman running the show at Ewood as she would have offered 0 tickets and would have threatened to “send them back” with the Leeds coaches and boats being turned back at the border.

Leeds of course are only well supported due to their large hinterland with the only competition fr fans coming from their Yarkshire cousins (literally ) at Barselee, Burnelee, Uddersfield and Snuffield .

Watch your handbags and beware of children snatching this coming Saturday. I am going to put my money on Rovers doing their own snatching with a 3-1 win.

In the meantime let’s have a vote on the best politician from the following two most worthy candidates:

Stella ‘Suer Strength’ Braverman


Anne ‘Windbag’ Widdecombe


I m voting for Anne. She should have been PM if were not for rampant sexism in the Conservative Party.

We need to bounce back after sat but leeds are a very strong team.Im confident we can.

Bit of a tough one this week but I'm hoping for a 1 - 1 draw.

 

[Drog]

Our injuries are hitting us hard. Last week half the bench looked like a school 1st X1.
0-2

 

[Old Darwen Blue]

2-1 to the Yorkshire lot unfortunately.

Rovers 0 - 3 Leeds United

Early kick-off. In front of the cameras. Leeds United a quality side. Tomasson up in the stands. I haven't got a good feeling about this one.

Home ticket sales for tomorrow are looking terrible but in all honesty 30 quid is simply too much to expect a casual fan to fork out at this time of year for a footy match. Heat your house for a few days, buy some Christmas presents for your loved ones...... or spend it on a 90 minute football match? For us fanatics, it's obviously worth it, but with a small and shrinking fan base - due largely to the towns massively changing demographics - it's simply a no brainer. Price is king as the attendance for the Watford game will prove.

Leeds have a massive fan base in comparison to us and obviously have far more people that can afford it, I don't really see it as a slight on our support, I just hope the ones that do turn up get behind the team a bit more than normal in the home games.

2-1 Rovers COYB.
