@JamesWilco82 Hope he is on the way to recovery James.

My Mum is currently in RBH with cardiac problems. It’s scary. I know some people love to criticise the NHS, but the staff have been brilliant. It reminds us to cherish every minute and take nothing for granted.

This might take a while to compute

[Blackburn Rovers @Rovers]

We are delighted to welcome back Tony Mowbray, who returns to Ewood Park as our Head Coach ™️

@jslovechild Steady now

[Stockport Trains @StockportTrains]

Last move of the day. It's been brilliant!

@HBerry177 Loyalty to the club should not be measured like that. As you have perfectly demonstrated.

[Simon Fish @SimonJohnFish]

@hbellamyx @EricBlueMonster I can’t even begin to imagine how hard this must be for you. She will be so proud. Thoughts with you 🔵⚪️

[Blackburn Rovers @Rovers]

💙 Sending all our love and support to Sir Kenny Dalglish, who has confirmed he is undergoing cancer treatment.

So when a £125k luxury motorhome appears on your driveway you don’t question how it was purchased? When a VW Golf and a Jaguar I-Pace also has been bought you don’t question that either? The Rolex watches? Other jewellery items? Nicola Sturgeon knows nothing. I smell bullshit.

Tomorrow’s your last chance for some doubled-headed tractor action🚜🚜 Special guest locomotive 37254 (courtesy of @ColasRailUK) will be double-heading the 15:30 Leeming-Leyburn service with 37250.

@StuartAMcArthur @OllieHolt22 Another one

[Simon Fish @SimonJohnFish]

Hello @OllieHolt22 It’s all about perspective

[Oliver Holt @OllieHolt22]

Worst-run club of the season? Chelsea, Spurs or West Ham?

[Simon Fish @SimonJohnFish]

@lancashirespike Oh it’s all about the cash with this lot now, so probably

[Simon Fish @SimonJohnFish]

Will Bolton be category A? #Rovers

[Simon Fish @SimonJohnFish]

@Tom32156Phil How many overall will be? This is where the idea of a flexible season ticket comes in. Not everyone can attend 12.30 kickoffs or night games. A good idea once again ignored by the hierarchy at Ewood

[Simon Fish @SimonJohnFish]

@Tom32156Phil Burnley, Preston, Bolton and West Ham/Spurs?

[Simon Fish @SimonJohnFish]

@johnrobinson07 No. Something with an incessant beat. #ShowsAge 😉

[Simon Fish @SimonJohnFish]

Just because it’s sunny that doesn’t mean that I have to listen to your crap music 😡

@dazmaz89 You make a very good point. They have alienated so many fans. Repairing this is going to be very difficult.

[Simon Fish @SimonJohnFish]

We need to attract fans. That might be fans who can attend every or most games, or fans that can only attend on a more limited basis. Of course a ST should be cheaper, but this is just ridiculous. Average match day price for Blackburn End is £30. Why would people pay that? 😶😶

[Blackburn Rovers @Rovers]

🎟️ Matchday ticket prices for the 2026-27 season have now been confirmed.

A Season Ticket continues to offer the best value way to support #Rovers at Ewood Park next season.

Because football means more when it’s yours. 💙

[Simon Fish @SimonJohnFish]

@nathrover1985 That’s the big question. Would more go? I’m not sure. They have alienated so many people who have now got out of the habit of attending. When you do that, it’s hard to recover. I’m not sure that squeezing the last drop out of the existing fan base is the way to go though.

[Simon Fish @SimonJohnFish]

@GarethHudson8 I understand that achieving as many season ticket sales makes good business sense. However making match day tickets unaffordable plainly doesn’t make sense. The balance is wrong.
