Dont wanna brag here (whilst cheekly quoting himself ), but almost spot on. I got the scoreline correct, 1 goal scorer and the crowd basically right also! A very bad first half, in which the only decent moments came right at the end of the half. Have to amit tho, i dont think ive ever seen anybody miss a chance when they've been that far through on goal tho ! Bellamy is a touch of class and defo garantee's goals, what a bargain at £4m. I though the defense were superb today and hopefully 5 wins in 6 against leeds in mid-week before being brought back to earth again chels!

Looking foward to going to the game tmoz, despite the early wake up, coming from uni in Stoke on trent I think we will win this game and continue our good form! Rovers 2-0 B'ham Nelson and Bellamy 19,000

I hope for 2 things. 1.) No of them make it to terestrial tv as that would only see more Rovers fans not going to games. Its bad enough when they can just walk 5 min down the road to the pub let alone, in their own front room! 2.) The amount of games on tv are reduced. Its no secrect that we get our best crowds for 3pm sat kick offs, anthing different from this only reduces crowds!

I got AAC at A-level so give me that arrogant crap about university or 'levels of intelligence' these days. Look, here are my simple views on the situation. I didnt sing the chants at Cisse on saturday, because i didnt want to. In an ideal world, those chants wouldnt have happened on saturday as i have previously written. However they did, and im questioning the big deal? Opposition fans have chanted 'where's your helmet' to Jansen, called Wenger a pedophile and as i said previously chanted about Shipman, Munich and Hillsbourgh. What i was trying to argue (i thought you were the intelligent 1), was not that the Munich and Hillsbourgh chants weren't appalling (a bigger disgrace cannot be found inside football), but that when you compare Cisse chants to that, it is not on the same scale. Its on a similar scale to Jansen helmet and Wenger peode chants imo. In other words i see there being a boundary. On that boundary are chants like cisse, Jansen and Wenger (the ones i mentioned above). Ideally these chants wouldnt happen, and i dont sing them. However i realise in football they are going to happen and for me are JUST acceptable banter. However chants about Munich, Hilsbourgh, deaths in any way, sectarism or racism well crosses that boundary. I hope this clears things up and dont ever presume anything about me again.

The 2nd point is absoulte crap. If its true, then liverpool fans are getting seriously ripped off. I dont think rafa would be to happy either, if it takes that for him to score!

Oh for crying out loud, why are we still going on about this? Its not that big a deal ffs, and Cisse was quoted as saying 'i thought they said, hows your glass leg' We didnt we sang 'hows your leg'. Yes in an ideal world it wouldnt happen but lets not go ott about it. After all l'pool fans sing about Munich, so id have thought that a chant like that, harmless in comparison, wouldnt bother them too much. We had a 1,900 sell out. P.S if Cisse wasnt motivated to score without those chants then l'pool fans are getting conned outa a hellova lot of money.

So will there be people outside Ewood handing out leaflets of information before the b'ham game or will they be in stands concourse ie, bbe lower where i'll be located next sat, as id very much like to get involved. Cheers

If you seriously think that a few chants from visting fans was the principle reason for our 1-0 then its you who is the fool mate, a fool big time! Secondly, kindly tell me where exactly on this thread i said that i actually participated in the chants about his leg? Opps i havent and didnt so take a hike.

I knew nothing about racist monkey chants, if thats true than thats a disgrace, if you knew me in real life you would know that i detest racism. What i was refering to was the fact that liverpool fans sing about Munich and Man u fans sing about Hillsbourgh, was our singing about Cisse really that bad??

I dont know why we bother sometimes. Why dont we just sit there in silience next time so the pc bigade dont get offended. What a load of b.s, 1 of the best travelling atmopheres that we've had for ages (liverpool fans on the bbc board said best travelling support so far, which includeds manure and chelsea) and people still have to find the negative

Can people please remember that Liverpool fans sing songs gloryfing Munich and United fans Hilsbourough, so whilst im not condoning our cisse chants, let keep it all in context yeah?

Wigan had 22,500 on today, which included 5,000 travelling fans.

Im very proud of the Rovers players and fans today as both were superb. We are starting to play very well at the moment, there was no doubt in my mind that we were the better team for the first 30mins and if not for the referee giving us 10 men then im sure we would have taken at least a point away from anfield. Hopefully the red card will be taken away, cos as soon as i saw the challange, i thought free kick and yellow card. The red ruined what could have been a decent match. Liverpool were an absoulte disgace today and that is 1 of the biggest 'papering over' jobs ive ever seen in my life. No creativty, desire, passion and that squad assembled for over £100m playing against a small east lancashire club who had been reduced to 10 men for the vast majority of the match. They never looked like scoring and it was always gonna come from a set peice. Despite the above, i still thought it was 1 of the most enjoyable away trips ive ever been on. Our support was absoulty magnificent, singing and chanting throughout the game, i had partially lost my voice just after the end. Such passion from the Rovers fans and it would be great to replicate that every week. Yes the cisse chant was bad, but hey liverpool fans take the ###### outa munich and united fans outa hilsbourgh, so lets not over react Liverpool fans were embarrising and as the Rovers fans said, the worst support we've every seen (seen/heard same difference). (For me, that includeds a league cup 2nd rnd game against portsmouth in our promotion yr when we won the first league 4-0 and the 3nd leg was played in front of 2,300 and they were better!) The didnt actually sing for the home game until a half hearted 'cisse hows ur leg' just after they scored. I would hate to support a club like that, despite the succes, results are just expected and they just sit there in silence! Ewood is a couldran in comparrison.

Im going from my university (crewe station) on the train to Liverpool. Ive heard that the ground is miles away from lime street, so ive heard that the best idea is to walk about 10 min into the town centre and get a bus to the ground. There are a few busus that go to the ground!

According to the offical site, there are only restricted view tickets left out of the 2,000 allocation. So its basically a sell out, hey thats not bad for us!

Right, ignore my above questions as ive just watched his interview on Roversworld and found out the answer to those questions are both 'yes'!

Looking forward to this game, as its the first time i have ever been to the ground. Heard its an absolute morgue for run-of-the-mill fixtures like this 1! Im in row 26 which i presume is quite near the back, and i hope the Rovers fans create a superb atmosphere like we always do away from home Hows the ticket sales going for this game Lee? I dont see why we can go there and get a victory or at least a point. L'pool play in fits and spurts and can often flatter to deceive. If we go with a similar attitude to the manure game and get the Emerton who played against wba to go up against Traore i think we can get some joy on that side. Finally, this is a question ive thought about many time before, but never bothered to ask. Can you ask to for a specific part of an away allocation?? In the past ive just ordered the ticket, but can you ask, for example at Anfield 'can i sit towards the left hand side of the allocation towards the back'??

Two questions. 1.) The title of the thread is 'Blackburn born', thats all well and good but more importantly, was he brought up in Blackburn? And.... 2.) Is he a Blackburn fan?

Who in their right mind would go to Chelsea? I could be a Rovers fan living in the hotel in the back of 1 of those sodding SB stands and i wouldnt pay that money to watch the game!

All i can say, is thank God we are on a decent run at the moment and are up around mid-table. If we say lost to manure and drew with wba, i dread to guess what the b'ham crowd would have been. As it is, the positivity around ewood at the mo should see us get 18k ish

Of those games however, wigan have had games where they have attracted more travelling fans. They have havent had a team whose brought less than 2,500 and we managed to get more for wba home then they did for their 'grudge' derby with notlob!

Is that total sales Lee, cos there was a vast difference between the amount of htfc fans in the grnd at kick-off and at the start of the 2nd half! Does that figure include all the late coming htfc fans?

Wasnt that last sunday tho, id hope we'd have sold some more tickets during this week!

How are the ticket sales going for this 1? I hope we can sell out or at least get close to it! Cant go to OT on sat as im moving down to university in Keele Stoke-on-Trent to start my uni course!I'll still keep my s/t of course
