Probably have to score up there, but as for predictions, well it depends on what injuries we pick up on saturday / during the next week, and if we can get Cole and Jansen fit.

Souness has said he wont be "back until the Aston Villa game or later"

Yeah, Beer flavoured water

Which end though See you in the Drayton at about 2 in that case

Season tickets have to count higher than anything else, and ultimately have top priority. The issue here is deciding between season ticket holders for instances of high demand. Season ticket holders are not entitled to Top Tenner tickets, or to miss the odd game during the season. They MUST always get priority for putting their money up front.

I've got the afternoon of the home game booked off as well to go round a few pubs. Hope theres not too many of you that we can't get served

I would have had no problem with them making you que for a ticket and in hindsight, I should have taken the day off and come over to que for a ticket. But I decided to go to work and try and phone because I was told I wouldn't have a problem. I will know in future. The whole point of this ticketing review has be so that those who do travel regularly do not have to go through the situation of having to queue for 9 hours, redial 900 times, or to miss out completely. Season ticket holders also need to have some sort of guarantee of a higher placing in such queues as any non season ticket holder

The Barbary Coast - Sams Bar, Sun, Star, Bar Ibiza, Stage Door, St Johns Tavern and ZyBar are the best places to go to. Rest are OK, not sure if some of the poncey bar type places on church st such as Marleys, Jam, The old Yates etc are open during the day. all about 2 mins walk from Blackburn train station. If not, there plenty of other pubs, whether they will make exceptions and not let colours in on that day remains to be seen, but is possible. Pubs near the ground normally are home fans only except the Fernhurst, which is a pretty big place, and people end up boozing outside Then again it depends what time you're planning on hitting Blackburn.

The applications have now been processed, they have just confirmed to my mate. Call the club to confirm if you are unsure.

Have heard (from a good source) that Rovers have started processing the postal applications from season ticket holders at 4pm today after the rush has died off.

Following this mornings situation over the distribution of Celtic Away tickets, Rovers have announced that their ticketing policy for major games is to be reviewed. Unfortunately, this is of no use to those fans and season ticket holders who feel badly let down by the club. Tom Finn told Radio Lancs that Rovers were only ever offered 3000 tickets, and that in the future, the club would review it's ticketing policy for future big away games, and reward those who travel on a regular basis.

I have emailed the ticket office and asked them to clarify the situation. They never asked me about collection or anything like that, which worries me, but they have full contact details and an SAE.

What do you reckon GAVIN,did this little post from your goodself on Oct 15th influence,Tom Finn,Williams,into accepting only 2800 tickets from Celtic,as oppose to the other offer of 7500.Nice one GAVIN. BIG MOUTH STRIKES AGAIN. BlueFlush - Leave it.

I'm just figuring that it might take time to process the applications, but surely not that long. If they havent opened the envelopes, how do they know how many tickets are needed (I put mine on the front though)... Perhaps there might be a few tickets left over, I don't know. Wouldnt have been worried, but others who applied by post already know about how many they are getting.

Well, I put the postal application in, but from my conversation with the Ticket Office, I dont appear to have got any of them, just have to wait to see if they do process any of them. Did get Southampton tickets though.

According to the girl I spoke to this morning they had, as the information came up on computer when I read out the season ticket account numbers. Bugger, because as of 10 minutes ago, it didnt for mine..

Just spoke to the ticket office - Lots of soton away tickets left. Apparently they havent processed the postal applications yet. This could be fun.

Surprised at that, the lady who took my application knew all about it. Mentioned this to a mate who put his application in on Friday, and the T-O knew nothing, but rang somebody up, and took his application off him no problems. Try the official site, theres an email for John Williams PA on the customer charter page. Wont happen though.

Rovers have now sold all their allocation for the Celtic Away game. Many fans are sure to be annoyed, as there is little prospect of any extra tickets being allocated to Rovers. Fans may take little consolation from the game being live on BBC1.

down to 200 left, 400 in queue. Should be interesting.

I never said we wouldnt sell that allocation. I doubt we would have taken 8000 though. I did say that I dont think we'd have sold 28000 home tickets if we only gave Celtic 3000 though.

Worthington cup final. Worthy Semi Final (free coach) Bolton Away in FA CUP Arsenal Away in FA Cup - about 4000. None of them normal run of the mill away games.

Bit hard from Birmingham Ste - you know with work and all! Also have you got a pocket PC there? you know to post from the queue that your in? I'm at work too, one of the advantages of going to Sofia means I dont have to queue for hours. (But i would have done)

Yeah, its called queueing from 8pm the night before. Then you get around the phone system. I was told that Rovers have taken on extra staff for today to cope with demand, although it would be no surprise if they intentionally ignore the phone calls as theres already enough in the queue at ewood. Sheer Weight of the queue must have caused earth tremors, as there was an earthquake in Manchester at 8:45 !!!!

Bloody hell, i'll never get my southampton tickets at this rate.
