  • Post match Voice notes

    Excellent new feature really enjoyed the immediate reflections on the game. Unbiased honest and realistic opinion as always. Appreciate Elliot’s frustration at being called out for reporting what was said in a press conference about transfers. If VI has singled out 2 players in his presser when asked about potential departures then as the saying goes “there is smoke without fire”

    I trust Elliot to report what hears honestly and be a reflection of what was said

    Thank you

    Keep up the excellent ... more

  • A thank you

    Elliott and Ryan. I have been an avid Blackburn fan for 30 years. I live in the south and don’t come across many Blackburn fans around here or get the chance to go to as many games as I’d like. Listening to your pod gives me such a great opportunity to hear about what’s going on at the club and feel I know what’s going on in the area. Thanks for giving the club your time and unerring passion, it makes me proud to support the club. Here’s to a positive future.
