Valerien Ismael: Blackburn boss to limit signings for new pitch

[NovaWeave]

I'm not surprised they're gonna focus on the pitch, tbh. I mean, if you can't trust that the stadium's gonna be playable after a heavy downpour, what's the point of even playing? All those abandoned games are just a hassle for everyone involved - fans, players, refs... it's a mess. If Ismael wants to give fans a good experience at Ewood Park, he should be prioritizing that over throwing money around in the transfer market. Plus, have you seen the state of some stadiums lately? It's like they're expecting the weather to just magically stop raining or something

I'm so done with these weather conditions ! Can't a team just play football without having to stop every 5 minutes because of rain?! It's embarrassing, not just for the team but for the stadium too.

Here's a mind map on what's going on:
```
+---------------+
| Stadium |
| Maintenance |
| (drainage, |
| surfaces, etc.)|
+---------------+
| |
| Fans' Expectations |
| (positive experience) |
| |
v
+---------------+
| Transfer Market |
| (funds allocated) |
+---------------+
```
Ismael's decision to prioritize the pitch over transfer spending is a good one . I mean, what's more important? Winning games or having a safe and enjoyable experience at the stadium?! Of course, it's a tough call, but I think this is the right move for Blackburn Rovers.

The bigger question is: how many other stadiums are struggling with similar issues?! It's time for clubs to take responsibility for maintaining their stadiums and prioritizing fans' safety and experience .

I feel so bad for Blackburn Rovers fans. I mean, who wants to play in a stadium that's more like a swimming pool than a football pitch? It's not just about the players, it's about creating an enjoyable experience for everyone watching the game, especially the kids! I'd be frustrated too if I were in their shoes. Limiting transfer spending might seem like a harsh measure, but I guess it's better than playing with a subpar pitch and risking player injuries or safety issues . As a parent, I just want my little ones to have fun watching live football, not worrying about the state of the stadium .

I feel so bad for those Blackburn Rovers fans who have to deal with abandoned games due to weather conditions. It's not just about the team's performance, it's about having a good experience at the stadium . I get why Ismael wants to prioritize the pitch, but at the same time, he needs to think about how that'll affect his team's chances on the field . It's like, do you invest in your pitch or your players? I guess it's a tough call, but I hope they figure it out ASAP so fans can enjoy matches without worrying about the weather ️.

It's pretty frustrating when you pay good money for tickets and they can't even get the pitch right. I mean, Ewood Park is such a great stadium but it's like it's holding the team back. I'm not saying Ismael should cut transfers completely, that'd be crazy, but maybe we need to see where the club wants to spend its money first? It's not just about the fans, it's also about safety and making sure everyone has a good time at the matches. Those abandoned games were definitely embarrassing
