S15 Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 3) Does my suggestion unduly disadvantage people who don't go to the Man U semi-final at home? 368407[/snapback] Yes, as if 23000 fans get tickets reserved for them for the final, any loyal fan who can't attend the game for whatever reason will have a hard time getting one, especially considering any season ticket holder with a stub can buy two. Also, your idea wouldn't work as if every season ticket with a stub did indeed buy two tickets, this would pretty much be our entire ticket allocation for Cardiff gone anyway, which would mean the other 8-10000 attendees wouldn't be able to definately gain a ticket.

Nayef Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 3880 x 2.20 = 8536 pounds 368220[/snapback] £2.20?! That's a cheap pint!! You forgot to add in the rovers factor. It would have been like this: Potential 3880 x £2.20 x 60% turnout (as is the norm) = £5,122. but hey we all knew I wasn't going to be wrong.

Hughesy Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 Delighted with the draw. Honestly! I wanted anything but Arsenal. 2 games against Manure who we have shown we are capable of beating. 2 games with big attendances - in which both clubs take 45% of the ticket sales. So if we get a 60,000 and a 30,000. We are looking at 45% of 90,000 ticket sales! Thats big money - along with 2 matches which will be shown on sky. Bring on the red shyte! Keep the faith!

Ozz Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 There will be no problem with getting tickets for the final should we win the semi. We wouldn`t fill our end if they were free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 I cant believe some of the ###### that is posted on this message board now-a-days. I haven't been to any of the Carling cup games this season. Why you might ask ? Because I cant be arsed. Does this make you any of you a better supporter than me ? I dont think so. I the Rovers try to restrict any of the sales then there will be a terrible crowd. If the rovers get to the final, you can expect a low turnout, especially if it against Arsenal. I'll be going to bothe United games, tickets wont be a problem to buy. I doubt many will travel to united if we lose the home game, in fact, I bet we wont take more than 1000. We are likely to be offered at least 5000 at OT. It will only be filled if we win the 1st leg by a 2 goal margin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninjathunder Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 Sorry if this has been mentioned (and if I'm running away with myself a bit) but what is the date of the final? The football league website still has the fixtures for last year's competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hughesy Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 Didnt we get just over 3000 for the last semi @ OT? It will be still very much game on by the second leg! Il be at both! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 We got the whole of the upper east stand, not wuite sure what it holds but I'd guess at about 5000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spansterkid Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 If you think about it we had a 66.66% chance of meeting either TheArse or ManUre in the semi-final and only a 1 in 3 chance of meeting Wigan. Therefore more chance of a conspiracy being claimed than not!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think so. 368422[/snapback] No, but you certainly shouldn't be given an equal chance of attaining tickets for the final for someone who could ''be arsed'' attending those games just because you've decided you can ''be arsed'' attending the semi final. So why you are getting so defensive is unclear, nobody said anything about who's a better supporter, just how ticket distribution for the final (should we get there) could be handled.

Hughesy Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 Tickets should be disrtibuted in a sensible way - IF we get to the final. 1st - To those with stubs from previous games 2nd - After about 3 days - open sale to season ticket holders because otherwise we wouldnt sell out Then after 1 week - Open Sale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all know how crap are support is, so why put stupid restrictions on the tickets that make it a hassle to get one? Ok I can understand the reasons for preventing the 'other' teams supporters from purchasing them, but are own ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hughesy Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 9000? U sure? Thats alot! Hope we take around 5,000. Think the 1st result will depend alot on the sales.

SuperStella Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 What do you think of our chances v United? I think we need at least a 2 goal head start @ Ewood in 1st leg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blueboy Downunder Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 we can certainly beat them ss. i think something that is more important than a 2 goal head start is a clean sheet for us. if that nhappens to coincide with a 2 goal lead....then that would be awesome.
