There's a world of difference in my mind between people who don't have the opportunity of going to every match (eg for budgetary, travel or work reasons) and those who simply can't be arsed.

Tickets should be disrtibuted in a sensible way - IF we get to the final.

1st - To those with stubs from previous games

2nd - After about 3 days - open sale to season ticket holders because otherwise we wouldnt sell out

Then after 1 week - Open Sale

That won't happen as season tickets will always get priority over non-st holders.

Maybe

1, s/t with other stubs

2, s/t holders

3, other stubs holders

4, general sale

3) Does my suggestion unduly disadvantage people who don't go to the Man U semi-final at home?

Yes.

If you're not a season ticket holder, despite the fact you might have gone to all the previous rounds and/or the majority of league matches, if you can't go to the semi, you're below those who might make the semi as their only match of the season to date.

Interestingly, Huddersfield Town are coming in for stick for the away clash in the FA Cup at Chelsea as they sold their 6,000 allocation in under 7 hours and a lot of fans who attended previous rounds etc didn't get one.

My father went to the ticket office today and bought 4xWigan, 2xQPR and 2xBoro (cup). TO said they think the demand for Wigan tickets might have been under estimated.

Totally crap first half.

Totally great second half.

Kuqi's goal was pretty nifty.

I'm going, but not having more than an couple. On call New Years Eve night (and Christmas Eve night).

I haven't apart from 1999-2001. I was a lot happier then than I am now as well. The club wanted promotion but I wasn't aware that the only aim would be survival after achiveing it.

Oh so you are more than 5 years of age? I stand corrected.

Well due to my age I wasn't eiether.

The logic of some of your posts suggest you've never seen Rovers in anything other than the topflight...

After tonight's Children In Need mini episode, I'm convinced.

Jarosik isn't too convinced that Birmingham is a big club nor is playing there doing his career much good.

Jarosik sick

Poor old Steve Bruce. He's fielding a player who clearly doesn't want to be at his club and isn't even fit.

Until that half season, when fortunately the much better player (Cole) took precedence, most of us on here were extremely frustrated by "bambi" as he was known's selfishness and lack of team ethos.  He has become a legend because he was hurt (his own fault) just after that period.  If he'd been hurt the year before, no-one would have cared, and certainly the moaning and tearing of garments that''s going on here would not have happened.

I personally think Matty's 'legendary status' owes as much to the 20 odd goals he got in the season we were promoted, or does that not count?

Oh come on?...you think 17,000 is a good crowd!

358683[/snapback]

Not particularly, but is it worth bringing every thread down to the same subject?

17,600.....sorry but this Rovers team deserves better, ffs pull your fingers out Blackburn folk!

358675[/snapback]

Oh come on. Charlton didn't even bring 400, so again our home attendance seems to have levelled out at around 17,000 on a day of the year when people are often going elsewhere.

Onto the game - still don't quite believe Emerton's goal. Who doubt's Brad's past it now? How can a ref mis a penalty and give it as corner? Who says we've little attacking threat?

Happy bunny tonight.

Jose's self confident and people who have no confidence in themselves can't stand people like that. As for Rovers having £2.50 to spend I doubt it. The Walkers would not release that much.

Either you are getting off on some strange form of humour that no one else appreciates or you really are one rather sad individual. Can we have an answer and a final posting from you?

I think this is a bad thing.

The overall money for clubs is probably going to drop.

Chances are there will be even more matches with silly kick-off times.

Viewers will have to pay more (unless it's ITV or BBC) to watch the same number of matches.

Well now England have qualified, Im just wondering how its possible/not possible tickets for Germany 2006?

If people and I assume people are going, whats the process of applying for tickets etc.

Any help would be much appreciated

In light of today's performance and the result in the Czech Republic, to paraphrase Turnip...

"Do I like orange."

Most interesting fact on there is that Sky viewers are down a massive 11% year on year!

At least it's not as bad as the ITV Digital situation were some football league matches had so few viewers (less than 20k iirc) that it was widely reported that it would have been cheaper for the tv company to buy viewers match tickets and lay on taxis to get them there.

In my mind there should be no more than 5 televised Premiership matches a fortnight. Two each Sunday and one other mid week/Monday night. Saturday matches should always be 1500 kick-offs, with the only change being when there is possible police issues. TV should never be the reason behind a kick off change on a Saturday.

does anyone think nelsen should have been sent off for his harsh challenge?

i think it could have gone either way, and thankfully it went our way

Surely a tackle is only worthy of a red card if it actually likely to have caused some serious injury? Nelsen's boots were no were near whoever he fouled and he effectively tackled with his thighs.

Just about the only decision Rennie got right.

I suppose if we made too many changes too quickly it would confuse some of the fans out there, so slowly slowly catchy monkey so to speak.

We trying to recruit supporters from Burnley?

I won a quiz on Radio 5 this mornin on Eamon Holmes, Hearts beat Rangers and then we beat Man U. What a day and I didn't see it coming at all. t must be my lucky day. Can't wait for Football First tonight.

I heard a "****" (name withheld to avoid possible detection!) from Edinburgh on and Eamon pretending that the line was faulty. What a wag!.

Oh, how sweet. Almost as sweet as having a muffin during the match...

Morten Gamst Pedersen tra la la lala

Might just watch MOTD tonight................and again tomorrow    Oh happy days

You found your hero Paul?

I must say I was very impressed with Sir Alex afterwards, he was extremely complimentary towards Rovers.

I knew me not going would work wonders.

I just feel sorry for Jim's dog.

Dennis Wise.

Dear Chap?  Is being patronising a pre-requisite for being a mod now then as well as making smart comments?  You think I can't understand and vice versa so I suggest we call it quits.  Although for the record you would have not found one post from me asking why people were not attending United or any other game if it were not for some of the posts of the last few days.  I would have thought all the threads on attendances would have given you all the reasons in the world but hey ho.  I'm glad you enjoyed it last night and will leave it at that.

Ok, let's call it quits. However, one last point I'm not a mod, and never have been (although I am a Modi). I contribute to some of the background stuff on the site but have no sway on editorial policy; I couldn't even pin the preview thread in the first place, such is my lack of influence.
