HERE we go again - the Board of Blackburn Rovers treating season ticket holders like children, trying to convince them that they are getting a bargain by keeping prices for next season the same as the last one.

Then, in the next breath they issue a statement that CIS are keeping the sponsorship money coming to Ewood next season at a reduced level because Rovers are not in the Premiership.

If the sponsors realise they are not in the Premier League and, therefore, reduce their money, so the ticket holders should pay less.

But the first move the Board should make is to halve the money of the people who got them into the Nationwide in the first place - the so-called players.

How many of Rovers' current squad would get into a top-eight Premiership side - Henchoz and Filan.

Most of the rest could get parts in the old medical drama Emergency Ward 10.
