  1. I don't hear anyone ranting over the price of an ST at Ewood but I would flatly refuse to pay £36 to watch, week after week. Very occassionally I might be persuaded to pay that but not on a regular basis.

    It's all be done to death; KO times, Sky, uncompetitive leagues, prices, player's wages and attitudes. I don't think the clubs realise just how bored and disillusioned fans have become. The PL must be the classic example of how not to run professional sport. It simply isn't the great league the PL would have us believe.

    As I'm not a season ticket holder this year, I've been to one game so far this season, Everton at home and that costed me £36. I didn't know the cost of the ticket as I went and got my ticket at aboout 6.30pm that evening but since I was there I thought I might as well.

    City at home this weekend, I'm not going, won't pay £30+ and extra costs a few pints etc when I can happily watch the game for nothing. I'll go to the Wigan game as it'll be my last one I'll have chance to go to one for a while.

    I see Wigan has moved to a Sunday, so out of 11 home games to 30th December we have 4 that are at 3.00pm Saturday KOs. Also just noticed we only have 8 home games in the second half of the season. Poorly balanced, should be 10 and 9, not 11 and 8.

    Since we're in UEFA we all knew that some games were going to be moved. But I didn't know it was so many, hence why one of my mates who works on Sunday's, didn't renew his season ticket and goes when he feels like it now.

    :(

  2. Too expensive, end of.

    I haven't got a season ticket this season, not because of the cost but because I won't be able to go many games this season, anyway I decided to go to the Everton game. £36 it cost me for where I used to sit in the Blackburn End.

    I know I could have sat in the Outer bit of the Riverside but that's not the point. I wanted to sit where I my mate was and where I know plenty of people I can have a chat to and what have you. I admit, when I was in Ewood Arms before the game it did cross my mind, "I've just bought a ticket for £36 and it's on here for free"

    I didn't bother with the Chelsea game, I couldn't afford another game at that price and it was on telvision. Man City could be the next game that I might go to, £32 in BBE or £24 in the outer block of the Riverside. I'm not too sure yet, if it's on foreign tele I might go for that.

    Over the last season I've become dis-illusioned with football, rip off prices, games at 12pm, 2pm, 3pm, 4pm, 5pm what next?

    When it's on foreign tv for free, have a few pints watching it and it doesn't cost you much, it's no wonder people are going for that. As much as Rovers have given good prices for season tickets, very good value IMO, a season ticket is 19 game commitment. If people can't make more than just a few it's not worth it, like myself this season and then when a ticket is in the region of £30 on average, you do feel ripped off.

  3. Craig Bellamy has a good twist on the gate debate

    "I've played in front of 50,000 and although we don't get the biggest crowds at Blackburn, the people we do get make more noise than when I've played in front of fifty or sixty thousand week in, week out."

    Sounds like a pat on the back for everyone who goes to the games!

    Good to hear, you got a link from what Bellamy said?
