The BRFCS politburo strike again eh? You must have been criticising one of the inner sanctum.

Some are more equal than others, Animal Farm.

Heavy irony there eh?

Wycombe home to announced very soon. I would not expect more than around 2,500 at most being allowed to attend. My worry is the increase in Covid19 figures and what further increases could bring in terms of future lockdowns.

Proposed pilot game update

Rovers remain in discussions with the relevant authorities regarding the possibility of staging a pilot match with supporters at Ewood Park.

I might be wrong but I'd imagine there will be staggered entries and exits and that the Concourse will remain closed.

The plan is for the Riverside to leave on 80 minutes. If you want a pee then you have to be accompanied by a steward who will measure your time in the urinal.

If I succeed in getting a ticket I will will have to resort to taking a flask of coffee and a hip flask of Laphroaig.

May as well drink TCP as Laphroaig.... it's much cheaper and tastes the same!

Could some of us be at the first home match???

Blackburn Rovers want first home Championship game to be fan test event

Blackburn Rovers hope to have fans back in Ewood Park for the first home game of the Championship season as a ‘pilot event’.

An unlikely scenario, but if ST sales outstripped available crowd space then what?
Everyone is desperate to see some live football right?...Or maybe not.

 

[Husky]

I really don’t know why anyone bothers with that place anymore, sh*t moderating and biased management have totally spoiled it. Such a shame, it used to be good.

I likened it to The Guardian/Independent scenario: Used to be a fairly decent read until it was hijacked and taken over by over hormonal lunatics.

Some truth in that. I refer the lowland malts and both the old, and new, distillery of Bladnoch is one of my favourites.
Mind you the whiskeys from The Lakes Distillery near to Bassenthwaite are magnificent; and as a shareholder I get 10% discount.

It will be based on ST holders with so many away games recorded on the Rovers system from last season.

'whiskey' BB?

Yes, Whisky.

I must say I do overall prefer a good Irish to a good Scotch.

Fans returning to football appears to have been put back thanks to the latest Government announcement.
I think Rovers and SW were correct in their decision to holdback until we have a product to sell. Many clubs who have already sold ST’s now have a major logistical and communications challenge as they will have to backtrack.

Same here. I'm enjoying Jameson's of an evening and finishing off with a Bene before bed.

Agree 100%
Talking to a Nobender ST holder yesterday - he was saying they have been sold their tickets on a get what you are given basis - if its ifollow! tough! suck it up! Not a great sales strategy (imo) and if true, could mean lots of people will have bought ST's to watch internet fed games only

Wagott and TM have been impressive since day one and seem to genuinely care about the fans and their views

 

[Barmitzvah Boy]

My reading of the situation:

The Rovers ST prices are to be announced this week; the date of ST sales commencing will, I suspect, be announced later. Rovers could well have a ‘sliding scale’ arrangement where the cost reduces depending on whether we are allowed in or not. The iFollow for games we are not allowed in could well be a separate arrangement to the ST.

Just had a thought............. you aren't Steve Waggott are you?
