If we finish second, do we still play the first leg away (14/15feb) in next round?

We need to win at Ewood!

Port vale away (night match) whilst on that bad run in our triumphant play-off season

Nancy 2 up

Any defeat by Bolton

Ajax away

Having arrived at the designated meeting point a good 3 1/2hrs before kick off, the police closed the bars and insisted we remain there until 8pm when the bus would then take us to the ground. Not a hint of trouble just bad policing and will certainly put people off following the guidelines laid down by the club in future.

We were kept penned in like animals and if you attempted to leave you’d be met with hostility and abuse.

It needs mentioning please BRISA as I’ve never experienced anything like this previously on European trips. Both Turkey and Bulgaria had just as much potential for trouble and yet things went like clock work in those two countries.

Thanks in advance.

As I was with gav for the majority of 3 days I have to say the above was the only downer on what was a fantastic trip.

It really doesn't make sense to me to antagonise folk by not allowing them to drink and then almost laughing in your faces when asking for an explanation as to why not?

I honestly believe Rovers fans were being treated in this manner because of the reputation England fans have.

Saying all that the highlight for me has to be Macky's (snr) rendition of no nay never in Grasshopper! (I must have spent 20quid just going toilet in that place.)

How bad is this waiting?

Setting off for blackpool airport at dinner. I feel like a kid at xmas

A night to remember along with port vale 75.

For us "slightly" older ones, these two occasions will be remembered as fondly as anything we achieved since then.

Get in!

Tickets finally confirmed. Anyone flying from Blackpool?

3 of us from blackpool 17.00hrs weds, and to be brutally honest I can't bloody wait

Tickets arrived today....GG = Top tier!

I know someone who has just come back and says count on prices for beer between 4.5 and 8 euros even in the less lively parts of town.

Similar to blackburn end prices then

Tough one to call.

Notlob is the seasons 'must not lose' game for me.

Rovers 1 : 0 Notlob

And Me!

Bolton's tkts go on general sale tommorrow with approx 2,000 sold so far.

I would have thought they would have cleared more by now, but still time I suppose.

Fantastic news!...........Well done John Williams and Blackburn Rovers football club.

I think we'll only be able to make the Feyenoord game but interest seems higher than Salzb, wonder how many we'll take to Holland?

Have a look at europa92 hotel Gav, not hostel prices, but looks just the job

Went to watch Eagley v Charnock richard (west lancs lge) yesterday afternoon, then raced home for England match.

Without a shadow of doubt the first match give me far far more enjoyment, and all for the total cost of NOTHING!!!!!!!

England's top profesional players are overpaid, overhyped, and in world terms ............average at best!

For those supporters staying at Europa92 hotel in Amsterdam, I have had a response from the hotel who are waiting with open arms to welcome supporters of BRFC.

From the airport you need to catch the train to central station cost in euro 3.50.

At central station catch tram 1, 2 or 5 for Leidseplein and the hotel is a mere 4 minute walk.

Similarly the cost of a taxi from the airport is 35 euros.

They are sending me some more information soon.

Thanks for that 1864, much appreciated

Den

I have emailed the hotel to ask for various information regarding the vicinity and the distance to the airport

I will let you know the reply

Could you put that info on messageboard 1864 as 3 of us have just booked in to europa 92 on the weds and thurs night

The weds flight out of blackpool on jet2.com 17:00hrs is now sold out I think

I booked from Wed to Friday via jet2.com

2 people £127 inc travel insurance.

Anyone else staying in Amsterdam?

Same here from blackpool. dunno where to stay yet

3 of us booked blackpool/amsterdam, wedensday to friday £238......Jet2.com

Been to Krakow before with England, nightmare place.

I've just book Feeyenoord for £36.50 - result.

Who's that with mate?

Take the Wigan game, a local derby played on a Sunday afternoon and not on TV. A gate of 17.8k is frankly pathetic. I would estimate that there were probably 2.5k fans missing from the previous game against Salzburg.

The fact is the Rovers match yesterday was shown on TV and from what I'm led to believe every single match this season has been shown live on 1 station or another. (bar salzburg away)

We left a certain pub at 2.50pm yesterday with the landlord telling us we must be mad to pay what we do instead of sitting in the warmth of his pub, enjoying the match on tv and havin a few pints for half the cost.

Now whilst I would never consider such a thing, believe me, there are many that do. To see lads coming in as we were leaving with there rovers shirts on, ordering thier drinks and parking down for the next couple of hours or so was a sad sight indeed.

Draw is advertised on UK eurosport at 11 am
