Crowd Vs Oxford.

It will be a great crowd saxo
With the Blackburn end upper opened means at least 23k has been hit so 25k is not unrealistic.

I fully expect a large % of these returning fans to stick around next season. We will get back to getting around 15/17k home fans.
Such is the fickle nature of the modern football fan. Remember the other week Sax, I said to you 'it was never about the owners, it was purely down to results. Fickle fans who where happy to see a winning side, didn't have the stomach to see their side losing games.

Of the 25k inside Ewood tomorrow, I can put my life on a HUGE amount of them where the same ones saying 'I'll never set foot in Ewood while Venkys are in charge'. Utter *******s. Success returns, so will the fans. Simple as that. It's the way football has ALWAYS been.

Next season loads will be back on a regular basis. The **** talking owners are no longer. Things changed at Blackburn Rovers Football Club the day Mowbray walked in. And started to build a solid foundation within the club. Both on & off the pitch. Venkys have finally found someone to trust. And all they do now is write cheques and leave the running to football people. Anyone going this season sussed this out 18minths ago. It appears the news has spread around now.

Totally agree, Champs. My biggest worry for next season, though, is unrealistic expectations. We won't be going on runs of 32 matches, unbeaten! A lot of fans have been on Mowbray's back, even this season! What are they going to be like next year, when "win one, draw one, lose one" is quite a likely sequence?
How long will the 15,000 crowds last?
Sorry - that's probably too gloomy, but I have to say I have been shocked at how many people have treated our record this season as WORSE than we should have expected. There still seem to be thousands of fans who expect football matches to follow a script...like Brighton beating Man. Utd.
