    Bit of a conundrum on this one, last home game don’t want a defeat however if we lose we stop the Plastics from Ewood going into the playoffs

    If we win + Blackburn and Millwall draw, or Coventry lose, and WBA don't win 5-0 Swansea ! would hate that to happen mind to cost us. or Blackburn win 13-0 at Millwall ! that just about covers everything i bet the Coventry coach breaks down though.

    Many supported other clubs before Jack Walker came along, used to live on the border of both Preston/Blackburn
    Split of supporters then Uncle Jack came along with his money and part time North Enders suddenly ended up as die hard Rovers fans glory hunting toss pots hence Plastics

    Great result Blackburn drawing last night. They go into the Millwall game thinking that a win could get them playoffs.

    You're right, it opens up another possible snooker on top of Coventry losing at Boro.

    Millwall, because of the nasty atmosphere throughout the club, don't enjoy much sympathy ...

    ... even if Blackburn thought they couldn't make it I don't think they'd give up the fight.

    No one liked them but no one cares either.

    They have already lost there last 2, so would be 3 on the trot. Also, there is a chance they would be playing them again in the semi's so the winner would have a psychological advantage?

    Truestory mate. I think Boros injuries are catching up with them now and they actually tried to win the last 2 games but they couldn't.
    Theyve not been the same since losing Fry and Aaron Ramsey (on loan from Villa), and both of them would walk in any team in this league, so they are big misses for them.
