This is a really massive game for us. Not only is it a derby game which teams are always up for, i think its a great chance for 3 points. Notlob are starting to get found out with their continual long ball and i think our defenders are well equiped to deal with it, (see palace away, huge long balls from palace, 1 shot on target for them all game). We have a big away support which should give them the backing we need to get the 3 points. What also needs to get taken into consideration is the fact that all our relegation rivals have difficult games and must be presumed not to pick up many points. A Rovers win, not only gives us a slight gap, but also drags Bolton back into the mire and start them looking over their shoulders. I for 1 am really looking forward to this game and i predict, Bolton 1-2 Rovers Dicov and Bazza with the goals, in front of 28,000. C'mon the lads

Sorry, i dont understand the Aussie sense of humour

Are you having a laugh mate, Everton are bringing 7k+. Thats means around 12,000 Rovers fans for a non sky game at 3pm vs a fellow lancastrian team who are 2nd, dont think so sumhow. More like 27,000+ and i really looking forward to it.

Ditto, anybody know?

How many did we give Everton?

Can we ask for a further allocation, after all we will give them up to 5k when they come to Ewood?

Rovers should take as many tickets as possible. Have you had a look at the prices!! Only £16 for the terrace area and for the seats it can't be that much more expensive!! Excellent news as Cardiff are charging standard league prices which means we will get cheap tickets.

I think our crowds have been very strange this season. We seem to have more Rovers fans at the games vs pompey and spurs rather than l'pool or united. Considering the crowds vs l'pool and united were 26k but there was 8K away fans that leaves 18,000 rovers fans. However, vs pompey the crowd was 20,500 and there was nowhere near 2,500 away fans, so that means more rovers fans turn up to pompey game rather then the big 2?! Same applies to spurs as the crowd was 22,000. Again around 2,000 away fans so there was 20k Rovers in the crowd, compared to only 18k vs l'pool or manure. Very weird imo.

A dreadful game played out between 2 poor teams. We deserved a point out of the game, because to be honest Spurs really werent up to much themselves. Very frustrating, a point would have been so much better, keeps the run going and the momentum going. I thought Emo looked much better when he moved to the right hand side and really took on their left back. As for Tugay, yes he played well at Fulham, but as i, and many others feared he couldnt keep that level of performance up against Spurs. It was his lack of pace which led to the Spurs goal with brown breaking clear. 2 steps forward vs fulham and now 1 back vs spurs. Still, we are clear of the zone and must look towards the next game at Palace on sat. P.S Watching the pictures afterwards i really think the club needs to look at its pricing policy for the Jack Walker upper stand. There was huge gaps all over the place whereas the lower tier was full.

Nah, we should take the whole away area, about 2,000 tickets. Anyway, its a reasonable draw, a ground most people havent been to and a chance go stand in terraces for the first time since i guess Craven Cottage was re-devoloped. Its a game we should win, Cardiff have had a really crap season so far and ive got a feeling this game wont catch the imagination of the Cardiff public too much and so i doubt it will sell out, so wont be anywhere as intimadating as when Leeds went there.

I'd love a local away game against a lower league team. Loads of tickets, big following, nice day out at say Blackpool or Rochdale or Bury and a probable win.

So are we going to be offered student price tickets then, cos according to the official site, there are only adults, children and oap tickets available?! Yes, I got confirmation the other day and have contacted Lee to ask why the website hasn't been updated. He is following up. The Football Supporters Federation are interested in ticketing at the moment, and I have been in discussion with them. Excellent, the website has now been updated, great work my friend!! All of a sudden going to Bolton sounds a hellova lot better, £24 or £21 rather than £35 which i think i will be taking up. Keep up the good work!

It better not be, i expect an allocation of around 3,500 for this game, cosidering its a bank hoilday christmas time fixture. Also, i hope that the prices are reasonable, ive heard maybe £38 which is a joke, around £25 for adults, £18 for students and £15 for children is the right kinda price in my opinion. Looking forward to that game, would love to put the Notlob in their place!! Ive just looked on the Notlob website and we are a catergory A game, which i think will mean £35 for adults, £24ish for students and £19 for kids.

Yep, i was at the game and i still think what you wrote was crap.

What a load of rubbish, sure you are entitled to your opinion but i mean c'mon. Emerton has been either the best player or in our top 3 best players this season. If you atcually got to games (Gray of course doesnt really have a clue about us, he is too busy watching the big boys) then you would see the good level of performance he is putting in

Nice preview, especially as ive been to all the games mentioned in there (bar the promotion defeat), mostly good memories. Anyway, onto the game, which is we the type of game we could quite easily win. Both sides are going into the game needing a win and i think we can pull it off, esp if we play the same midfield against b'ham, but thommo coming in for tugay. I say a 2-1 victory for the Rovers in front of what will be fulham's worst crowd of the season. Emerton and Todd from a corner for us. P.S - why is this game a 12.45 kick off? A crap game between 2 teams about 300miles away from each other. Sky please use common sense and stop this nonsence. We have already had to travel to southampton for 12.45 and now this. RUBBISH

Do y'all think he should be starting at the weekend and is he fit enough. Personally ive seen enough of him in the last coupla weeks and hes played enough reserve games to merit a starting place with bazza in the centre mid.

Goodness me we have managed to get 1000 replies on this topic. Amazing lol

Im going to Fulham with a coupla mate and we will give a decent reception because he won us the worthy cup and also kept us up in that year 01/02. Probably should still be at the club now. Those saying we give him a standing ovation and chant his name cos he is black and would portray us in non-racist is so stupid its untrue. Making an issue of any players race is a joke as far as im concerned.

Steve bruce really is scum isnt he? What he did to palace, his hypocrtical nature and his constant complaints against ref's. That articule just sums him up really. Anybody else see the stuff in the sun today. The usual rubbish unfortunatly, especially the article about the pfa spokesman Bobby Barnes. He was responding to the Sullivan comments, you know when he said that Yorke shoulda warmed up at the other end of the ground. This clown Barnes comes back and says 'it is dangerous to suggest there should be no-go areas in the ground where black players can't warm up' Ummm, no actually what he suggesting you pfa muppet, is that yorke shouda warmed up in from of the b'ham fans, rather than in front of 7,000 Rovers fans in the bbe who hate him for the way he milked our club. I mean you wouldnt expect say, Alan smith to go warm up in front of the leeds fans if manure and them played in the cup or summit. The 2 handing themselves in is a good sign, perhaps they can explain themselves to the police in some sort of suitable manner. If not, then they can be banned from ewood for a period and sent on a re-education program.

1.)You have to laugh at that prat Rodney marsh dont you. On saturday he says i will probably be 0-0 and DEFO wont be a classic. Hey presto its 3-3 coulda been 5-5. 2.) Can 'Lawro' change the record, thats 7 goals in 4 games for a club, who he cant see where the goals are coming from. Everyone else can. 3.) Amazing game which we coulda/shuda won. Not a bad crowd either considering, sky game, sun night b'ham didnt bring too many. 4.) Gally found the badge rather then kit make logo which was nice. 5.)Tommo must start on sat at fulham with reid (who was excellent y'sday), bazza and emerton. 6.) Nice to see Dunn really does love the club. He is clearly pained to see us where we are and embarrised to score in front of the BBE. However, for 5.5m still nice business imo. 7.) Yorke is a lazy bassa, but will withold any views on the racism until the investigation comes out. 8.) Bruce is a nob. I have nothing more constructive to say about that man.

send him to burnley? Why exactly - I don't recall we have had fans ejected for racism. Perhaps you should seriously consider how things are at your ground before you start slinging mud at ours - or perhaps it is easier for you to think of Burnley as the club of racists rather than face upto the fact you have some at your club? What was that delightful little song you produced at Ewood when we beat you 5-0? Not 'town full of pakis' by any chance was it in response to our 'town full of dingles to you'? There are far more racists at the turd then there will ever be at ewood.

Seconded. Riverside to a safe terrace.

Can you answer for this Cuiado??
