Having driven to Ipswich from Yorkshire many times in the past I would think that 6am is a pretty optimistic starting time for coaches to be leaving Teesside with driver rest requirements etc. It was inevitable that the game would be changed, and none of them would have been beneficial to the travelling support. We played there on a Friday night under Karanka. The movement of the Sheff Wednesday fixture has a benefit for me, as on the original date I would have been somewhere over India at kick off on the way to the UK, so hopefully will be able to stay awake to follow the game. As to Saturday's game we have two out of the last three at Ewood and Rovers are second bottom in the Home league table having lost nine out of 19 home games and scored only 18 goals conceding 25, whilst we are top of the away table scoring 32 goals in 19
@simonfallaha - How could I have forgotten "It's a Wonderful Life"? I have/had it on DVD as well as watching it on TV just before Christmas for DECADES!
Accepting that Si has probably, for professional reasons, had many occasions to compile a Top Ten Films list, and accepting that our list has now morphed into a Top Hundred, obviously Jaws gets in. I remember the whole cinema making a collective jump two feet into the air when the head rolled in front of the hole in the sunken boat's hull.
The Cruel Sea, Goodbye Mr Chips, North by North West, The Pianist....
But if Boro could only, as in Groundhog Day, play the next eight games 10 times each and, with the lessons learned, THEN play the real games against each team. If only things would sometimes work out as in the films.
...and I type this as I watch "The King's Speech".
