Vital Blackburn's most recent Poll, suggested by IsraeliRover asked "Blackburn supporter's worst nightmare?" When Brad Friedel calls it a day.
He may be advancing in years but Friedel is showing little or no signs of easing up, as his level of performance refuses to drop, if anything he has got better as the years have gone by, with him seemingly defying the boundaries of age!!! However, there will come a time (hopefully still MANY years away) when he will have to call it a day, either through choice, or Mark Hughes (or someone else) bringing in someone else. But with almost half the vote (41%) this day is the day most Rovers fans fear the most.
Christopher Samba was a cult figure almost as soon as he arrived. He soon turned this cult status into a real key figure status, making himself a permanent fixture in the back four sooner than had been expected, going on from strength to strength. The fear (although unlikely?!?!) that he has a secret release clause would be the next biggest fear (29%).
A return to Rovers of Corrado Grabbi would be the next biggest worry (14%), followed surprisingly low down the order with Sir Alex Ferguson deciding to also call it a day (9%), with it then possible that Hughes could be the man lined up to replace him (which personally I think he will be!) Two broken legs to Steven Reid (7%) completed the poll, and would be the thing fewest would worry about.
So in summary
Friedel: 'I've seen it all and it's about time...' - 41%
Alex Ferguson declares the same - 9%
Samba on SKY: 'I've a secret release clause' - 29%
Reid fell during shower - 2 broken legs - 7%
Guess who's back? Ciccio Grabbi! - 14%
Rovers crashed to a shock, and VERY disappointing 2-0 defeat to Larissa in the UEFA Cup first round first leg on Thursday Evening, but can they overcome this to still qualify? The current poll, suggested by Hughes Da Man is asking, "Can Rovers overturn the 2-0 UEFA Cup deficit?"
As for what you think, cast your vote and why not have your say on the latest polls findings.

Then the penny dropped and I though ***** that is a HUGE fear of mine as when Fergie leaves Manure I GENUINELY feel that Sparky will be the man that they will turn to, and I don't think he would say now, and we would understand wouldn't we.
