[Archived] Fa Cup Next Round

[Husky]

Man Ure at home! Jesus! There'll be more plastic Preston 'fans' there than Rovers.

[Cherry Blue]

Will they open Riverside for away fans!

Fair play. But it will be a sell out.

At least we get a cup final this season and then we can focus on trying to finish fourth bottom.

Coyle v Mourinho. 

Who will win the battle of the managerial giants? 

[MGAndy]

I am still boycotting

Give United the Darwen end and riverside

At the very least.  All those horrible sounding invaders from Manchester, London, and China.

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

Every glory hunting two hat in Lancashire will be begging for a ticket.

SOD OFF!

[chaddyrovers]

Really looking forward to this game now.

Plenty of Blackburn residents will use this game as an opportunity to make a few   £££ by selling on tickets to Mancs.

It'll be on the Sunday as they play in the Europa League on the previous Thursday, and again on the following Wednesday.

Perfect chance for a protest in the ground? Boycotting this is pointless as it will sell out either way...

Do you think that'll make a difference ?

Would seem like the best idea but I can understand why the people who boycott would be against this. Brilliant chance to put the protests in the news again, at least for a day anyway. Will be on television and a massive audience watching.

[Tom]

We may break the TV streak.

There's been some noise about them always being on TV and two non league teams are guaranteed to be on.

In the rehersal for the draw Rovers got Sutton at Home and Lincoln got Chelsea away

Really would love to go as I never miss this game nor does my Burnley (Man utd) best mate.

But I will this year. Not a penny more.

Happy to protest outside though.

[Jock]

The World will be watching.

Its now or never to embarrass the FA Venky's and Coar.

Banner from the old tv gantry above the JW Stand?

Absolutely, my Scottish friend.

The possibilities are endless, but they must all involve being on the pitch and bringing the match to a halt.

I think we've got to be pragmatic here, banners, chants etc. will have so much more of an impact than the home end being full of mancs trying to be quiet. Especially when there'll likely be millions watching in India alone.

Most fans won't join in. Will be the usual suspects chanting Venky's Out and getting stick off other fans for doing so.

The people who have been boycotting surely will?

[Proudtobeblue&white]

It's been a while since I posted, can't go back whilst my boycott remains, even for this, as it's not the opposition that is the attraction for me, but my team. Will await the protest ideas though.

This game will be live on TV worldwide.  The TV audience in Asia including India will be enormous. It may be years before such a chance to embarrass the Vs comes again......

I won't be in Blackburn for the cup tie - so won't be going.

But THAT would change my mind (I'd book a weekend flight back!!!)

Chicken skin underclothes and on the pitch.
