DavidMailsTightPerm Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 Living in Blackpool - this is definite must not lose for me - couldn't stand the stick at work Though early to say - this could make or break our season (as the Burnley match did). Win it and we go above Blackpool and things start to look a little rosier in the table - lose it and (no don't want to contemplate that). I think it will be a tough match - but if our defence plays as solidily as it did against City - I can see Blackpool having all the ball - but us continually hitting them on the break. They commit a lot of players forward - leaving plenty of room behind their full backs to be exploited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben-2000 Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 For those who have not got tickets I would be asking the question why we haven't been given 2,500 which is what the stand holds. I know one or 2 in the end block won't be on sale due to the position of the big screen... but block E in our end is marked as 'hospitality' If Rovers are holding this many tickets back (around 500?) for corporates etc then I think it's a bit wrong considering how many ST holders with away history want to go to this game. When Fulham's tickets went on sale it stated on their website "Allocation 2,500". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, literally as it says on the tin - 100 members. apparently 230 seats are netted off at the end of the stand... here's a pic which explains why!!! doesnt explain the rest though...

rovers1995 Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 Why does it say on my ticket that I'm in block EF? Surely I can't sit in 2 blocks. Confused Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At what point when they were deciding to put a big screen somewhere did they think that blocking 200 seats view of the goal seem like a good idea.

bazza Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 If Sam plays hoofball there is only one winner. We cannot score and they will attack us throughout. Pool 2 Rovers 0 Adam (pen) and Campbell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1864roverite Posted September 21, 2010 Author Share Posted September 21, 2010 Mike where you heading for a drink pre match ? I think we will end up in the crazy scots bar from around 130pm. \We arrive in blackpool at 11am for brekkie and beer and starting at the north end before heading towards the centre. Give us a bell when you arrive in town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbrandjohn Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 Anyone see the Chelsea game? They lost 4-0 in the first half. I dont recall more than a couple of hoofballs from them in the whole game. They pass the ball well and created some good chances in the second half. This wont be a pushover.

Sparky Marky Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 I think it will be comfortable for Rovers this one...we struggle against big physical sides and this lot are like a poor-mans arsenal in the way that they try to play....therefore, with our success against this type of play when we come up against arsenal, I expect the players to dominate them physically and I expect a 3-0 win.

So bloody good that I received my Ticket application 4 days after the deadline had passed. Rang the TO and handed my application form in ASAP. Rang them up again today to see which stage my application had reached, "Sorry Sir, but we seem to have lost your application and all our tickets have been sold". Livid!
