Why dont you email the club with your idea and see what they say? Its worth a try 1864 Roverite /Uddersfelt Inc I mailed StuW on this before he sent his mails Stu - did you manage to include or get a response?

Jesus Christ What planet are you on? MU have got one of the biggest hooligan followings going -and there is no love lost between them and the Geordies - throw Arsenal into the pot and the Soul Crew (they where even knocking about when we played there) for whenever UTD go to Cardiff and you have one mighty boiling pot with us lot probably getting the steam from it.

Just shows what a cock it has been from the beginning because there has been no mention of the 12-15 Kick off until the draw was made. How many more lies can come out of the Sweet FA. Its all a load of bollux - they wanted to show MU on TV at the 5-15 kick off and don't give an flying figurerine about the fans. There is absolutely no reason why these games have to be played in Cardiff. They could both easily have been played on a Saturday 3pm KO without live TV coverage or at 5-15 at other more convenient venues or Sunday for that matter. Its all lies!. ..... lies! lies! and damn lies I tell you!!!!!! Mother feurklin Tashism Sweet FA

Have you seen what the Arsenal fans are saying? Probably won't take as many as they would somewhere else which certainly puts a dampener of the lies that are coming from the FA Get it into your head - this is not in the interest of the fans which is what people are complaining about. Just have a feeling that our semi could be won by the Pubs now.

Keep hoping Hughsey as this could well be the scenario now and not just from Rovers fans

Not excuses Hughesy , genuine concerns The Semi final is about making a day of it - should be kept separate to stop it taking the 'glamour' away from the Final The FA have probably made it as difficult as they could do for all sets of fans to travel to Cardiff in one way or another in terms of cost, time, safety ease and enjoyment. Shows it all when they where even considering holding the QF at the 'new Wembley'. What next - FA cup Final over two games? Wouldn't put it past the limp wristed idiots at Sweet FA HQ Admit it its an absolute joke

Take it you will be going on official coaches Hughesy? Enjoy your 90 mins in the stadium and 3 hours waiting afterwards

Don't go there Dan!!!!!!!!!

Just got this mail from the club ROVERS GET 30,000 TICKETS ROVERS have been allocated 30,797 tickets for the FA Cup semi-final with Arsenal at the Millennium Stadium on Saturday April 16th (kick-off 12.15pm). Full details of the ticket application process (along with a booking form) will be contained on a special information leaflet which Rovers intend to distribute at the turnstiles at this Saturday's Premier League fixture with the Gunners. However, early information, reveals prices at:- £25, £35, £45, £55 (there are half-price concessions in the family enclosure). Tickets are likely to arrive at Ewood Park by the middle of next week and will go on sale to Season Ticket Holders from Good Friday. Rovers supporters will occupy the North End of the stadium - a repeat of the glorious Worthington Cup triumph in 2002.

Nope thats the Saturday before (9th). As I have said before- they where holding out on Newcastle because they wanted MU on the Saturday at the initial KO time (17-15) so as to get the prime time TV audience etc - this has now backfired. How the hell are you supposed to really enjoy a build up to the game - its bad enough at a normal league game Now its a battle of moral for a lot of Rovers fans and in the good words of the Clash ' should I stay or should I go?'

Well their intent on making sure evrybody can see it is working as the majority will be watching it on telly So much for the extra seats Early signs show its not gone down well with the Gooners fans either on the Arsenal Mania MB Looks like even the big club and Premier League Champions don't envisage selling all the tickets UP YOURS FA!!

I did Den - mentioned about Jansen being away from the club in Rehab but didn't say where Also went into discussion re the contracts of players that are due up and that he is due to sit down with MH over Eatser re these and also re next season even though they know what they want/need. He commented upon the gap getting wider re the distribution of of funds in the game and how hefeels only the 3 usuual suspects have a chance of winning the title now adding Newcastle and Liverpool as only another two possible giants to compete. Also about the game last night and how we would be different to last season. The full interview is the BBC Radio Lancashire site - VIEW FROM THE BOARDROOM

Good result - got be happy with the point - would have taken it before the match and we got what we went for. Rather than boring, I found it a very interesting tussle from a Blackburn view - although could understand for the neutral. As we all know, Hughes has to work with what he has at the moment but we seriously need to sort out our attacking ways - otherwise we will get found out sooner rather than later. Do we have the ability to play differently?- If the ref had given the penalty (how did he not for the pull on the shirt?) could we have got a result - I doubt it. Thought as others Mokoena had his best game - MGP looked liked he had taken on the Blackburn curse now of 'Thou shalt not take a good corner or freekick whilst an established first team Rover' Emerton - was just Emerton - cut in turn around and do the hokey cokey Johannson - looked liked he was auditoning for a part in Bugsy Malone Flitcroft - was just the ususal ruffle a few feathers Flitcroft Stead- thought he did excellent under the circumstance - no decent balls but worked is socks off and laid on a a good few balls can't understand him being subbed unless he is being rested for Saturday Reid - thought he had an excellent game and probably should have scored at the start of the second half - our driving force. Matteo - somebody already mentioned about him looking fast for some reason - great tackle towards the end Todd & Horatio - Its already been said Neill - Had is usual 5 min nap but did ok otherwise Gallagher - ?? Friedal - think he was there - saw him having a cup of tea and a prawn sarnie in the boxes Anyway another point towards salvation and hope for next season.

Ah speeeeeedie... That's why I took the liberty of contacting the IMUSA - just waiting to see if they reply at the moment. Anyway gave them a link to here Just to update - I got a reply from IMUSA 'Stuart Yes we have had a few of those. Thanks for contacting us its nice to know we have wider support. I had a mail from some one who was trying to set up a Blackburn ISA, did it ever happen? FYI a little bird tells me your semi may be switched to Villa Park on the Sunday. Mark' I have mailed back re the ISA and the source

Yep understand the cave bit just interpeted differently ... whoops Still ll bureaucratic nonsense at the end of the day though - although I do agree with your comments Its that galling fact though that the FA have us over a barrel - problem is I am seriously considering not going should it be a 12 noon kick off - and I don't think I will be the only one.

Not what I've heard/ and read previouslyPhilipl Slagged us when we played Celtic and also when we played Arsenal earlier this season - this is the first thing I've seen/ heard from him that has given us any credit

Caved in? Be fair...there is nothing Rovers can do about this. It is the FA Cup and it is ultimately up to the FA where and when it stages the game. Who said anything about caving in? Think I am being fair just referring to fact that why attend a meeting FFS if there is nothing they can do? If Rovers don't feel they can do anything - why should the fans consider turning up at 12 and probably having to set off at ridiculous times and have to consider more expensive options of travel.

Yep and very good of him to reply However, as I have said to StuW on PM I get the feeling Rovers have given in already

Ah speeeeeedie... That's why I took the liberty of contacting the IMUSA - just waiting to see if they reply at the moment. Anyway gave them a link to here

Same could be said about us also Paul Would appear the players feel confident and Hughes as come out with a 'ready for anything' sort of statement - our ticket is still in the tombola so we have a chance. Most Rovers fans appear to feel confident we can beat Arsenal and before the draw they where who I wanted as I felt it was our best chance of getting tot he final - don't know why but now I'm not so sure. Anyway, we are there and regardless of what day/time/planet we play on we still have as good a chance as Arsenal in 90mins or more.

Im out at Newport as well. Duff/Stu Cardifff is very easily accessible from Newport and is on the trainline and trains run regular - going in is not a problem - just the getting back after if anything like when we played Spurs. The nightmare scenario is if both games are on the Saturday - what do they expect - MU and Newcastle fans to wait whilst ourselves and Arsenal fans go into Cardiff first? .... yeah right! GAV - Feel your comments are a bit out of hand here - and as what other have said- it might be a one off but we have as much right to complain as anybody else and there is no better time to do it IMO.

speeeeeeedie I have posted on Boards for the other 3 to see what sort of reaction Have registered for the Red Issue but not had confirmation for Access yet The IMUSA are cetainly taking issue with it but for teams like MU and Newcastle for those that don't go there will be others who take their place - unlike us, as with what we have seen at home if somebody doesn't go its very unlikely we will have the numbers to fill the places. MU have the numbers regardless and Newcastle being geordies will just go anyway Arsenals fans would appear to be more peeved now with all the mention of the 12 noon kick off

Don't doubt your help Paul OnFA CUP PETITION the same sort of topic -see this if yo don't know about it already

Hi Paul Did the concerns get raised? Point about the FA not acting in the Interest of the fans etc Boycotting not the word - cost and chance is the game - do we risk or do we not and hope we get through?

speeeeeeedie!!!!!!!!!!
