@theawayfans Correct on every point!

@Ewood_Blue_ I was there… but I didn’t go onto the pitch. 😉

@AndrewConcanno7 You won’t be alone, Andrew. Far from it, in fact…

Now the season’s over, a bit of a moan… of our 23 home league fixtures, a paltry 5 kicked off at 3.00pm on a Saturday afternoon, with another on Easter Monday. A large part of my enjoyment of match day for at least forty years was meeting my pals for a pint and a chat before the

@oglekeith Agreed, Keith. Simple as that!

@timfarron Same here, Tim!

Game and that has been effectively confiscated by diktats from Sky. I know the money we get from them is important, but seriously, outside a small area of Lancashire, who’s interested in watching us play Preston on a Friday night? Is it just me?

[Peter Broome @basilrok]

@Rovers @lewiscostello RIP Tony. A fixture at the club even before I started attending in 1972. Condolences to Natalie and the family.

… that the job is finished? If so it is astonishing that whichever authority is responsible has accepted that the work - which took nine months to complete - has been done to a remotely satisfactory standard and represents value for money!

This is the state of the newly laid road surface outside the police station on Ainsworth St Blackburn. Not only that, the drain covers are proud of the road itself by a couple of inches. Given that the lines and road markings have been repainted, are we to assume…

@Keir_Starmer Everything you can, you say… Like spending a full nineteen seconds laying a cheap wreath to ‘honour’ them, before scurrying away back to London for a drinks reception? Stunning, Prime Minister. Stunning…

Rovers 0 WBA 0. A good point in the end. Would I have preferred 3? Of course; but in the context of that game and the other results, it’s another one done and we’re still 6 points clear. Two more wins, or 5 more points should be enough… shouldn’t it? #Rovers

Rovers 0 Middlesbrough 0. A good point against a club in the automatic promotion places, but we could have been three down at half time and we couldn’t have complained. Better in the second half though, although Baradji continues to frustrate, I’m sad to say… #Rovers

[Peter Broome @basilrok]

Milwall 1Rovers 2. Well I never. Another very Blackburn Rovers thing to do after dropping five points against two of our relegation rivals. But I’ll snatch it with both hands! # Rovers

@dowse_11 I’m taking my boots next Saturday! 🤦🏻‍♂️

[Peter Broome @basilrok]

@dowse_11 I’ll have a pint of what you’re currently drinking! 😂😂😂

[Peter Broome @basilrok]

@puncturedbicycl @Rovers The die is cast now, Simon. Might as well plan for League One. Massive credit to you for making that trip, after Saturday, I’d have quibbled about going for free!

[Peter Broome @basilrok]

@Justom29 Ridiculous. Do they want to drive the club out of existence?

[Peter Broome @basilrok]

@Thomas_2791 @NYCRovers Agreed. It was dire!

[Peter Broome @basilrok]

@secondtierpod Yes. It was blatant!
