2-1 To the yellows just because we have a technically understrength team and we are playing 2nd from top of the league.

The players were on it Saturday night. I cant see much of a being shift put in. I hope I am wrong. I would love to see Canice and Nappa start and Baptise off the bench. Why not Manny in goals.
for the impressive amount of yellows taking on the lovely drive up the M6 .... a bit of handy info re 'pubs' around Ewood park
with a forecast of there being a 25k+ crowd, reckon the fanzone will be at capacity early on( whats the odds on the 1964 5th round facup match at the Manor NOT being screened? ).... interesting to see the prices charged for inside the stadium beers etc ( shows just how mercenary the self appointed custodian of OUFC and stadium landlord is...in case we had forgotten!...... two pints for less then £7!!!!

PUBS FOR AWAY FANS
Behind the Bryan Douglas Darwen End, the Club have created a fanzone area, into which away fans are admitted. It has some large screens showing previous meetings between the two sides and more importantly food and drink outlets, where you can buy a 'Pie and a Pint' for £4.90. The closest pub to Ewood Park that away supporters can use is the Fernhurst pub on Bolton Road, which is only a five minute walk from the visitors turnstiles. Now part of the Hungry Horse chain, it quickly fills up on matchdays and once full no further fans are allowed entry, until people leave. However please note that in keeping with the 'families atmosphere' of the pub, fans are asked to refrain from singing. John Chadbourne a visiting Nottingham Forest supporter recommends Uncle Jacks on Branch Road; 'It welcomes away fans, has an excellent selection of beers, including cask ales. It is only a ten minute walk from Ewood Park'.
There is the Golden Cup pub which is further on past the Fernhurst (going away from the ground) on Bolton Road and is tucked in by the motorway bridge. However this Thwaites pub is quite small, gets rather crowded and it is a good 20 minute walk (and mostly uphill) from Ewood Park. It is friendly though and also offers a range of pies. You can also park at the pub for a cost of £5. If you have a bit of time on your hands and you like your real ale then Robert Bury suggests; 'The Black Bull pub at the top of Bog Height Road (this is the road next to the Golden Cup and the Black Bull pub is located one mile up this road on the left) is home to the Three B's Brewery and has up to eight ales on tap. You can also enjoy great views over the surrounding countryside and Blackburn from its elevated position.' On the other side of the M65 motorway on Blackburn Road but going in the opposite direction to Ewood Park towards Darwen, is the Anchor Hotel, which is also frequented by away fans.
Just around the corner from the entrance to Blackburn Railway Station is a Wetherspoons outlet called the Postal Order. Alcohol is also served within the ground in the form of; Fosters (£3.50 pint), John Smith's (£3.50 pint), Bulmers Cider (£2.70 bottle) and Wine (£3.90 small bottle). The Club offer two pints of lager or bitter for £6.70. You can even have them served in a two pint pot!
maybe not directly.... however his 'rent' prices to franchises will have more than an influence.... I cant remember where I read/ or heard about it, but, I seem to recall the South stand lower, north and east stand concourse kiosk outlets alcohol prices are linked to/ the same as those charged in bar at the top of the stairs outside the hospitality boxes ?.... Quadrangle bar (or whatever name it has currently) alcohol prices too?I’m pretty sure Uncle Firoz doesn’t set the price of the beer at the “Kasstad” [[emoji767] Radio Oxford].
Same score and result from 54 years ago I fancy ...
3-1 to the mighty U's, and really P**s on rovers bonfire, with the young guns getting a rare first-team runout, amongst the goals and assists
Or in with the supporter's! LolInteresting to see Lego on the bench, all the talk was of being left out of the squad.
