  1. I was in the Cancer Research charity shop just down from the Library in Blackburn at the weekend and they have a signed pair of Big Col's boots up for auction. Well worth a bid!
  2. I hope that we win tonight but I still think we can progress even if we draw a Champions League side (although would hope that we don't draw Benfica or Werder Bremen).
  3. My thinking at the beginning of the season was that we would struggle to compete both in the UEFA Cup (particularly with the group stage) and finish anywhere near as high as we did last season in the Premier League. I think that it is quite possible for us to have a good run in the UEFA Cup AND to finish safely mid-table (which I'm convinced that we will) in the PL. Without the money to put together a large squad of quality players it is alway going to be very difficult to compete both domestically and in in Europe.
  4. I guess that it's an interesting point for debate: Is there a possibility that the club is an attractive enough proposition to bring a large enough new investment to make the team competitive again at the highest level? I guess that I (and maybe quite a few other supporters) have settled into a mindset which says that this isn't realistic and that we will always be a small club struggling to punch above our weight. The lack of people coming to watch the team at Ewood even when we're doing well indicates to me that we wouldn't look like a good investment to any person/corporation with enough cash to take us to a higher level. Like Bob Fleming says though, without knowing how much effort is being put in to attracting new investment, it is difficult to tell what is going on. One thing that does worry me in these post Jack times is how difficult it is to get any proper info about the finances of the club and how decisions are taken by the mysterious board of trustees. I guess this was one of my hopes for BRISA, that maybe we could somehow get a bit more clarity about where the Rovers are financially these days.
  5. We're a large group of STH who went to Salzburg & Krakow, none STH who went to those games, STH and non STH who didn't travel away in Europe and we've put all our applications together in the hope of getting seats with each other! I'll be interested to see how the ticket office manages to cope with our request (although we were told they should be able to do it). Someone in the ticket office also hinted that if we want more than the 2500 allocation we should be able to have more.
  6. Is it just me that's wondering why we've only got 700 tickets? I try not to make too many negative posts but it feels like this may be Celtic all over again. There's no reason why I should get priority for a ticket but there are lots of season ticket holders who go to virtually all the away games but who don't seem to have any more chance of getting a ticket than those season ticket holders who have never been to an away game. Does the club never learn from previous mistakes?
  7. I wonder whether the club have thought about showing away games live at the ground. Newcastle show (none Sky)games in their bars - the clubs have the right to do this so why not make some money out of it.
  8. I've only had chance to have a skim through the document but it certainly appears, on first read, a thorough and well written one. Well done.
  9. This is a game I usually go to but at those kind of prices there is no way I will be going.
  10. I might be going over old ground here but is there an official launch date for the ISA? Also, has anyone discussed the setting up of the ISA on the official message board on the Rovers website?
  11. I can't believe that they are making people travel all the way to Cardiff for a 12.15 Kick off!!
  12. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Those supporters who think that the BRFC ticket office is rubbish should check out what's been happening at the Turd. Have a look at Clarets Mad under the topic: Tickets left...another rumour from the monger. Apparently they've got far more tickets left than they thought they had at the Turd for Sundays game because they can't add up/found a few hundred more tickets in a shoebox under their desks. Even the Lancashire Evening Telegraph sports desk has been dragged into the argument on the message board!
