Tell you what thats a good idea if it could be achieved. Not just cards but anything blue and white it should be a theme day i'd say. and i ain't going dont be nicking our ideas http://boards.footymad.net/mboard/load.php...&mid=2141648397 I may have a doppelganger but I don't like to talk about it Post largely on Clarets Mad - this is the only rival board I post on with any regualrity, and occasionaly PNE

Joined as I like the occasional bit of banter. Obviously if my presence upsets you I will gladly retire from your MB - assuming of course Rovertime et al will no longer visit ours

Of course I'll still be here in just over a week if you beat us - I was posting on occasion before this. You got the year wrong? Truth is it was the comments about having been back 'everytime' you have played us since (which was nearly 20 years later!!) Come on, own up, you started going just a little after Uncle Jacks wallet opened.

oh diddums, did ickle scotty get caught talking ###### - and now he doesn't like it Truth is my friend I am far better at it then you - and that bothers you Yeah I remember Garner - hate him but its a shame there are not a few more out there today who love their club the way he did. Beat us home and away that season - and the next time we were in the same division as well Those 4 wins allowed you to go ahead of us in the victories score between the clubs

it must have been 82/83. The next nearest Rovers win at the Turf was 77/78 but that was the 2-3 mentioned earlier on this post. As for been back ever time you've played us since - well that would be once then. Now you talk about the somewhat muddled memory of Burnley fans for the gates - now you are trying to say half the home stands were filled with Rovers as well? Do me a favour

really cletus - strange that because if you look carefully you will see the Longside (Home Section) and Bee Hole are actually quite full, whilst the away section was empty - we must have been playing your lot

If you look at this picture http://fp.homesoffootball.f9.co.uk/0606_BURNLEY.jpg I think you can see the no mans land ends just before the half way line

CLayton, Its hard to be sure as the memory now fades but As I recall the away end AND no mans land were not half the longside. Not saying there weren't 8000 in there because the limits on numbers were nowhere near as stringent as they are today. I'd say your figures are close in terms of Longside capacity but once segregated I would have thought he away section held about 2/3 what the home section could

And as it is a cup game, we get half of it So as well a the prize money for winning, we get the dingles hard earned annual wages!! Arrogance breeds complacency - our chances are looking up by the minute

25 years that ecompassed a massive 4 games You don't condone violence yet were revelling in tales of violence fueled glory? Sold the ground - true, the single worst thing that has ever happened in my time as a fan.I hope we don;t live to regret this one. That said it covered the debt and we have banked another 4+ million since then. I'm going to try this again, but common sense tells me you don;t have the noodles to understand it. The tickets have only been on sale to season ticket holders only - so with the best will in the world they could not have all been sold. Heres the full details for you Tickets available as follows: Thursday 3rd February - 09:15 to 17:00 Friday 4th February - 09:15 to 17:00 Saturday 5th February - 09:15 to 17:00 Monday 7th February - 09:15 to 18:00 Tuesday 8th February - 09:15 to 18:00 Wednesday 9th February - 09:15 to 17:00 Non season ticket holders can buy a ticket from Tuesday 8th February provided they have a ticket stub from this Saturday's home game against Leeds. Tickets will be placed on general sale from Thursday 10th February at 09:15 (maximum six per person) Not sure what your debt is - I heard about 30 million - so without selling how do you propose to cover it if you get relegated. And as for the only thing that really matters, the game. You know the outcome do you? I certainly don't. I know it will be a tough game, I know the odds are stacked against us yet I also know we have already accounted for prem teams this year and see no reason why it couldn;t happen again. If our lads give it all they've got and lose then I will have no complaints. Out of interest will you be looking to play football or can we expect the Chelsea treatment as you kick our players out of the game

Well I will wait to see it then. Taking the Bob Lord? Thats like taking a creche you moron. I will have a good look around me in the Longside upper tier a week Sunday for all the Rovers shirts - which home stand will you be in? certainly would love to see a few hundred try to take a stand on the 20th Of course we could have sold them all by now but the club are ensuring Season ticket holders get a fair chance to get theirs first - there no rush you know we still have 10 days. Am I supposed to be impressed by your Rangers friend or in awe? The match money will certainly be welcome but we have plenty in the bank at the moment you tool. It's interesting, your confidence in the outcome. Being strong favourites does not make victory a certainty - in fact it can be a real handicap. Imagine this, lose Saturday then lose a week Sunday and suddenly you are out of the Cup with only a relegation scrap to look forward to. What was last seasons loss again? How much debt on the books - even after all that for Duff etc. Hatred? Only for braindeads like you

erm, no they are not. They will be on general sale when the ticket office opens in the morning as it goes. Our capacity is 22619, which (by my simple dingle maths) makes it 18619 tickets for us. 350-500 Blackburn fans in the home stands? I hope they keep very very quiet.

I aint to worried 92er - I would engage them in a battle of wits but it would seem so unfair against people so poorly armed.... For the record, the home allocation is 18500, not 15000. To date they have only been available to season ticket holders, or Tuesday/Weds if you had a Leeds stub. Still, good to see the away end sold out for this one, memories of days of old

A little perspective for you. You have an advanced, database driven ticketing system using swipe cards etc (as I understand it?). You seem to have a lot of staff in the ticket office and they have got through the queues pretty quickly. Other clubs in less favourable financial positions (and I am thinking Prem level incomes as much as Jack Walker), including Burnley would love to have such efficient systems for ticket distribution. I'm not sure how you make it fair when you have just under 4000 tickets and around 7000 (or more) who want them........

I doubt there will be any tickets left at our ground simon though if anybody was considering going in the Burnley stands then in with the rug brigade is the safest bet. If anybody is tempted to go in the Longside, please don't. Seriously, I love a bit of fun and banter but after the last games I would dread to think what may happen to a Rovers fans discovered by the wrong people in our stands.

we all have our own crosses to bear

not every sentence - but it is a phrase in fairly common usage throughout the USA, UK and many other English speaking countries - don't worry it will arrive in the backwater known as Blackburn one day. Isn't it easy to be a smart arse when you can hide behind the ether and cables

Oh come now - is there not a post on this very thread where a Rovers fan is bragging about how Millwall fans described yourselves? Double standards in operation here methinks

I can remember when I started supporting them - my point was the meaning for all of us from that period is perhaps different than those before and those since. Long may it live in all our memories - especially the faces of all the scared little boys in Blackburn shirts who no longer felt quite so hard anymore Anyway it's now time to look forward to Saturday as we need some points before the FA cup game

Gav read what I said, Big game yes, big club no. I am not playing not interested, I certainly am - for a Burnley fan who started in the late 70's (or early 80's) then these games have a meaning all their own

In the last couple of years we have had many good teams, such as Liverpool (we won) Spurs (Twice, won 1 lost 1) Villa (We won) Man Utd (We lost) The arrival of B*****ds is not seen as a big club in anyway. A Big game, sure but certainly not a big club The quote re Yorkshire was from you dimwit so why not get your own coat - or if you cannot afford one do as B*****ds folk often do and take the nearest one not being closely watched To the fool who feels the need to pick up simple spelling mistakes, I'll take it you meant I'm shall I

Not sure why you all feel the need to prove the lack of education in Blackburn by getting your geography all mixed up. Even genetic deficients like yourselves should be able to discern simple county lines on a map

very much the wrong longsider - I live about a mile from the ground. If you couldn;t give a flying fu*K then why post the nonesense in the first place? You are rightly pointing out the sh*t spoken about ticket sales and queues - and it comes from both sets of fans

It won't matter in the grand scheme of things because regardless of a sell out of not you can be assured that in years to come burnley fans will believe we failed to sell out and the they had 10,000 stood outside. Thats just the way it goes.... lol gav im in the office and one of the dingles said to me there was a half mile queue today .I just laugh me bollux off! Abbey, I know for a fact that the longest the queue got today was the main entrance to the Bob Lord stand! and thats from a few lads doing some work at t'urf who were there from 7.30am Burnley fans, don't you just love em really gav - thats funny because I can't tell you for a fact the longest it got but I can tell you it reached all the way past the bob lord to the Wellington. It took 1hr and 20 minuted to get tickets - and that is a fact. Not from my best mates uncle, friends lads neighbors lover who was working outside the turf (funnily enough there is no building work outside the turf today - perhaps your 'mate' was confused?) I would say that made it half a mile though. As for the Jack Straw quote. Perhaps he had better remember that without Campbell the only place an odious looking man like him could ever have got elected was Germany circa 1938-1945

I wouldn't worry - it will all be over very quickly - Police will be onto anything straight away
