We need some good quality at this standard,just to be aiming for mid table.

Might come off but I am aiming in the glass half empty camp.
wait until you see how many season tickets we have sold
That will shock you. It appears the town of Blackburn and its surrounding areas have also realised.
Last season we sold 1,659 season tickets. Which fair play on the loyal ones. But that figure has not increased much and over the past 6 season, we have sold double this amount by this point. Even down in Div1.
It's going to be the case across the board for alot of tiny little clubs like us.
Fans have simply gotten out of the habit of finding the money for football, and finding the time.

What suprises me is, folk where very unhappy with us being a midtable club. That was not good enough for most. Wait until this slump takes hold. They will be in for the shock of their lives.
On FB even today, I still see comments about us 'going for promotion' this season.
Where on earth where those people the previous 2 seasons??!!! Who where they watching?
We where never even close, at any point. Suddenly from nowhere, we are going to make the play offs?
And they will be the ones absolutely kicking off saying its not good enough.
