Your tryinga tell me we would struggle to sell another 300 tickets for a local game still 10 days away? Our support is crap, but it aint that crap mate. Ive seen about another 50 tickets needed for people on this board and the official 1. With regards to your question, we sold out l'pool away (i dont count restricted view tickets as actual tickets)

Why have B'ham been allocated 2,000 then? Why couldnt we have had that?

Can ask why a larger allocation wasn't taken? Now im not saying we should take the maximum 3,500 or whatever it is, but this is the third yr in a row that we have sold out a similar allocation with a week and a half to go before the match. B'ham have got a 2,000 allocation for the game and wouldnt that have been better, as its always a popular game and we're on a decent run. Or have Rovers just decieded to take minimum allocation at all away grounds, (then again saying that we have more tickets for that local derby at fulham than city! )

So that should see our average dip below Wigan's once more then!

Interesting comments from J.W in the program, highlighting the fact that all our 'high profilr' games are in the 2nd half of the season, manu, ares, chels, l'pool, bolton, man city and Wigan. This coupled with our decent home performances should see a fair few half season tickets sold imo. Hopefully BRISA can have an influence on advertising these and getting a fair few sold!

Personally, i thought that the ball was inches too high and had a tiny little bit too much pace for it to be called an open goal. Should probably have scored in all honesty tho.

Ok ok you sarky gits . Im not really bothered about the allocation, i just want to know stuff like selling dates to s/t or gen sale, if tickets will be available on the day, prices if student tickets are available and other stuff like that!

When in God's name are they gonna bring out the ticket details for this match. Its been basically a week and there has been no news on allocation or selling dates of tickets to supporters. Get cracking Rovers!

No thanks, we dont want his type at Ewood Park. For all the bad tackles and 'bully boy' players, not one of them, Savage, Neill, Bellamy, 'the axe' have ever deliberatly gone out to injure a player like that manc scum has done.

I saw you asking the questions on the Charltonmad website, and wondered if you were gonna use it in the preview! 'Help needed ASAP'-oops somone left the preview a bit late Anyway, i think that this is a good oportunity for us to bounce back after the Chelsea game. Yes Charlton are superb on their travels, but its always the kinda game where you think that Rovers can get 3 points. Charlton will be roared on by the huge 350 travelling support, but i think we will win this game 2-1. I expect the exact same team and formation as the game against Chelsea. We've had 5 wins in 7 games of which the 2 defeats were at SB and Anfield, id say we're doing ok at the mo. Rovers 2-1 Charlton Emerton Thomas Bellers 19,110

Not too bad prices, although it would have been nice if they had replicated the prices we've had at home in recent rounds ie either £10 or £12. With it being on Sky, hopefully there will be a reasonable travelling support, despite the fact its an awful ground to get to! Any chance of any student tickets?

Yeah, i didnt like that advert that was played at Ewood. It wasnt that i was offended, cos i dont get bothered about that kinda thing, it was just at the time, i thought to myself, there are so many more postive ways of promoting anti-racism. Instead of concentrating on the actual people who are racist, it just sterotyped the whole white race into 1 category, despite the fact ive never uttered a racist comment in my life.

How many tickets have we sold for this game Lee? 500 ish? To be honest i hope less and that will show up the disgraceful ticket prices! Chels 2-1 Rovers To be honest, im not really that interested in this game. It wont make 1 bit of difference to our season, whether we win, loose or draw, so im not that bothered. Role on the fixturs against team who havent spent £300m!

Well said oscar, this is the biggest loada nonsence ive seen for a long time. A segreated stand for Asian supporters, in a English and therefore majority white town/football club? Jim Crow laws anybody I dunno about anyone else, but i saw more asians at Ewood for the b'ham game then ive ever seen before. Whole families dressed up in the blue and white were at the match, which shows that the club is progressing on that front, but obviously we gota long way to go. Further development from this is needed, not a seperate stand!

Just seen a real b'ham classic on the footiemad b'ham site. One of their fans claimed that they took 2,000+ travelling fans to Ewood. Thats some effort, considering they were only allocated 1,700 tickets Jeez, dont cha just love big club syndrome

I would like to see the layout at Ewood changed, to make it look to the cameras that the ground is more full. Personally i dont give a s**t how full/empty Ewood is (although of course in an ideal world it would be full every week), but i think we would get a more postitive views if we make the ground look full. What i would to do is:- 1.) Make the Darwen end lower the area for away fans. Obviously it would look rather sparse when charlton or fulham come, but when the tv camera's pick it up, we can blame it on the away fans. As the majority of clubs bring about 3k, that will leave the darwen lower looking pretty full. The relocation of these fans to other parts of the ground will help pack out those parts also. 2.) Close the bbe upper which wont be seen by tv of course. That will again pack out the rest of the ground. 3.) Change the outer parts of the Jack walker upper (on either side) to family areas which should help fill the quite ridiculus gaping whole's in there on normal match day. 4.) This should all lead to even say a 20K crowd making the ground look full, as the bbe lower, riverside and j walker stands will be almost full to capasity. The bbe upper can be opened for demand as can the darwen upper to away fans when needed. Any thoughts?

The draw IS this sat lunchtime. Games to be played on tues/wed nov 29/30th i believe.

Considering that Leeds brought 3k ish i thought that the crowd was excellent. I thought that they might have brought upwards of 6-6,500 which would ahve given us a crowd of 19k ish! Good for a league cup game. Good performance, easy victory and Emerton was excellent, getting alot of good crosses into the box and scored too! Decent other team goals for the other 2 and thats 5 in 6 wins. Well done lads!

Who cares what a load of part-time glory hunting fans think? The last time they saw Rovers play for any length of time was the game at Ewood last yr, when the lucky gits got a win. I think chels will win 3-1, but im not really bothered about the result as long as we dont get thrashed. Drawing with chelsea aint gona make or break our season, results against the teams around us, however, WILL Oh and with a any luck only about 250 Rovers fans travel.

Ive read the comments by Blackwell on the Leeds site and it seems like they might rest some of their first team players. We should have enough to beat their first team anyway, let alone a half first/reserve team they will put out. Should be a reasonbly strong team from us and i will predict a 3-0 win. My team would be:- Enks Neill Todd Illegal Gray Reid Thommo Savage Emerton Bellamy Jansen 13,800

Have'nt i missed something our next game aint against chelski, is the Leeds game not happening or something? Some pre-match chat for that game please?!

Lets just put the issue to bed, dont need to bring up Anfield again

Fair enough, its clear to see that we got our wires crossed. Apologies for any 's aggressiveness in my post esp considering you've been watching the Rovers since 1940's! (i respect that big time )

Cool thanks man!! If i collect 5 of them will you buy me a ticket for Highbury

Me and my mate got handed a leaflet today whilst approaching the bbe and i will be defo signing up online. I think this is a good idea and agree that ticket prices is an important issue (not partiularly at rovers but nationally!). Good work guys
