[Archived] Super Rovers 2-0 Dirty Citeh

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

At a guess.......

Rovers v Utd/ Rovers v Chelsea or Spurs/Rovers v watford....... VILLA PARK

Rovers v Boro......... OLD TRAFFORD

[mike at picture]

I reckon Villa Park will come into the equation if we are drawn against Southerners.

Anfield if we get The Rags

[grizfoot]

I'd expect if we end up playing United it will be at Anfield.

Will have to wait and see though.

[Claytons Left Boot]

Villa Park would be best. An allocation of around 19k which we would sell out, relatively easy to get to and a cracking atmosphere. Here's hoping for Watford there.

We may sell around 25k for Old Trafford but there would be acres of empty seats and the same goes for The Emirates. My God, knowing the Blackburn public most would want bussing to London for free.

Great result today, I said to my mate that it would not make any difference going down to 10 men against City. They are poor, very, very poor.

And, with regard to a topic doing the Messageboard rounds a few months back on the lack of progress with our youth set up.....academy player to academy player..........bang! 2-0!

Roll on the semi.

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

Villa park and all the Rovers fans in the Holte end stand! .....19k will be sold easily and the stay aways will have to cry into their beer glasses.

Maybe that will teach 'em.

There is no way they will let Utd play at Anfield.

Utd Rovers will be at Villa Park.

[Ozz]

Surely Utd Rovers would be at Eastlands, approx half way between the two clubs fanbase?

I have a problem folks, Mr Barclaycard has said that I can only make 1 trip (with my son) back to the UK to see a football match. Do I come back for the semis or wait (head in hands etc) to see if we make it to the final.???????

Also, is the final definately at Wembley???? If we make it to the final I don't want to book flights back to London only to find we are playing at Cardif.

Any help appreciated

Scousers played Chelski at Theatre of Merchandising last season.

Yea but Man U and Aston Villa have been the traditional semi final venues for quite a while now - excluding ours at Cardiff

[OJRovers]

Great win today, was one of the matches of the season for me.

Brilliant atmosphere in the BBE, good to see the walkersteel stand going crazy too.

You would have thought that the Football powers that be would understand that sending thousands of North West football fans down the M6 to Brum might be a tad inconvenient. That said however, they are the same breed that send Burnley to Southend on a Tuesday night.

And the same who made kick off at 12.30 all the way in Cardiff. Don't expect anything remotely sensible!

[Derby Blue]

Interesting listening to Robbie Savage after the game, basically saying we would be getting one of the big clubs in the semis. Richard Keyes asked what he was implying, he replied with words pretty much like "I'm not saying the draws a fix but I'd be very surprised if we get Plymouth or Watford". A look of disgust followed from Keyes and the interview suddenly went off at a tangent.

Suppose he's only echoing what every fan in the country is thinking right now. Quite funny watching though.

Apologies, hadn't realised this has been mentioned on the savage thread

Your so very right, was in the family stand, blackburn end upper. Which I was worried about beforehand, but was a brilliant atmosphere. Infact it is half tempting to get my season ticket there, if I don;t get a good seat in the Blackburn End. A young lad behind us had me and missus in stitches Singing 'barney army' and 'penalty!' whenever Rovers were fouled anywhere on the pitch. Great atmosphere, usual friendly bunch, pity I had to walk with all the bitter citeh fans back to car at Darwen high school.. Was thinking it was gonna kick off any minute.

Rovers v United at Plymouth out of the equation?

The draw always seems fishy to me, however, can it REALLY be fixed? Anything involving Man Yoo and Chelski would not suprise me, but surely that kind of thing would be such a huge scandal? I guess we'll see, would be great to get Watford, but I think we'd probably have more chance of beating Chelsea/Tottenham! What with our record against the bottom three teams!

[herbergeehh]

Goals up anywhere? Loving this!!

[spanishblue]

Tris, I would love to get a Mr Egg card but they won't let me have one as I live in Spain Suppose I can always go overdrawn at the bank I will see what the draw brings tomorrow.

Some posts on the Official mb confirm gate at 27k+. Isnt Ewood capacity over 31k? There were simply not 3k empty seats there today. What is going on? Is this some kind of tax fiddle?

In total there was probably about 1500-2000 spare seats in the family stand

Fair enough. Couldn't see that from my seat in the BBE. Poor turnout again then.

[Paul]

Surprised no one has mentioned the appalling behaviour by around 20 Rovers fans in the bottom corner of the BBE. The stewards were escorting out a Rovers fan, the one Tugay had insisted the stewards shepherd to the BBE, only for the stewards to be set on by around 20 chavs. Utter scum. Glad to see the whole thing was caught on video, with luck they will be prosecuted and excluded from Ewood for life. Completely took the edge off my afternoon. I hope the club get every single one of them, disgusted by this behaviour by people who purport to support Blackburn Rovers.
