Great stuff as always lads. I'm forever banging on about the atmosphere at Ewood but I think it's a real problem that needs to be addressed. I think the Riverside needs to be taken down and rebuilt right on top of the pitch and built in a way that somehow closes the gap in the corners between the Blackburn End and Darwen end. Maybe you could reduce the size and have say 3000 seats but maybe above that a first class viewing platform/area for wheelchair / disabled supporters. I think that this combined with a safe standing area of maybe 1000 in the Jack Walker corner of the Blackburn End would really help. I'm sure that there is at least 1000 of us that are desperate to sing our hearts out every home game. This would spread to the rest of the ground. I also think we could involve schools / day centres even care homes in making flags / banners etc to make the Blackburn End a sea of blue and white. Maybe I'm getting a bit carried away. But we all love our club and there are things we can actually do to help make Ewood a fortress and improve results, which is what we all desperately want. I just think there needs to be a concerted effort by us the fans and the club. Up the Rovers !
I like this idea. But how much would a Riverside redevelopment cost, £5m? I can't see the funding being made available for that sadly given current state of affairs
@jas78396b Sadly i think u r right. To my mind its an investment in the long run as it would improve the atmosphere and feel of Ewood , slightly reduce the capacity and maybe encourage more disabled fans to Ewood. A big factor of me getting hooked in as a young lad was the atmosphere on the old Blackburn End Terracing. All too often it feels dead at Ewood at present. Somet need to be done I reckons...
long throws shoot on sight and 75% long balls. No one else does it, sod it. Go direct. Would love to know the % of goals given away by teams by tip tap
Savage after Bellamy
Tip tap ok for world class players
Love these more in-depth pods guys, really interesting.
Roy Vernon and Mike England best Welsh players Rovers had with Bellamy Hughes and another cant remember
superb point you made at 55 mins on. rotation even if playing well - lets do it
Loved the summary Mark was brilliant. Thanks again 👍
Do you have the save percentage or saves/shots faced numbers? I feel like stats those could help tell a story as well. Great stuff as always, lads!
I couldn't find enough of them for all the GKs to make it a worthwhile task I'm afraid.

33:12, Mark totally ripped a fart and didn't realize he wasn't muted...
I’d love to say it was but it was me sniggering 😂😂😂
