I was at the 4 - o Carlisle game, walked it from town centre, and stood on the riverside.. Not often we scored 4 at home so a real rare occasion

Gutted given my season ticket away tomorrow as at Twickenham for Eng v Scotland, hope Dunny 's receptioin surpasses Matt jansen's on scoring the winner v Pompey in Hughes's first game

I agree with both Spencey and Jan on different points Todd is a good player , but as Spencey says, gets caught out a lot due to lack of pace and on more than a couple of occasions his discipline has cost us. Him and nelsen were the best pairing last year but then Zurab found form last season and rightly dislodged Todd. Todd started this season poorly As Jan says Todd is our best distributor of the ball Personally prefer Todd to Henchoz, yet saying that have nt seen henchoz have a bad game for us, what he lacks in pace positionally & reading the game makes up for it. Admittedly I missed the Chelsea game Nelsen with oojer is probably number 1 , then Zurab then Todd or Henchoz After he came back in the side post xmas Todd has been good but obvoiusly something with hughes has happened, I quized Todd in the Sheraton in Krakow and he diplomatically said he was working hrad to get back in the team Always feel save with him as captain but not sure we would win any honours with his lapses

Welcome back Dunny...Hughesy will take a few months to get him fit and firing but long term replacement for Tugay could be solved and also on the left when gamst has another 14 game bad spell!! Great boost for the club and supporteres especially as half his fee is based on appearances

I've got that brochure too!! priceless

Heard about The Fernhurst. Didn't Utd "fans" kick off in there or just outside before their most recent visit? With it being Bonfire night, they built a bonfire while singing their build a bonfire song putting city on the top etc.. Then set fire to the bonfire, so yes it kicked off, according to my CID friend.. Once red scum always red scum.. Being my nearest premier league ground looking forward to a 1-0 rovers win with the royals returning to coca cola football and a drop back down to earth

My signature says it all.....3 - 0 at Palarse!!!! But also a new one.. Villa 1 - 0 Rovers 1979/80 FA Cup 5th round replay We were in the old 3rd division, villa soon to be European Champions, 1 to 1 at home on the Saturday the old riverside stand shaking with noise and then despite 5,000 away fans getting beat at villa listening to the game aged 9 on a portable radio with the great commentator Jones on the old Radio 2 Guttted!!!!!!!!

Jan 100% agree..its us poor fouls on the motorway at 1am people should feel sorry for not the cant be bothered brigade because its November, Thursday, cold and £15...where's the passion!

Nice to see a former chelsea rent boy score against his former pimps.. They played well tonight, like to see Deco on a rugby field being trampled on then he would have something to roll about for... Too many softies ruining the game

Coming up for this...2 -1 homw win Who's fit....Bentley and Benni again

Pride of the North... What've you won lately piehead? Any major trophies in the last 11 years? Go back to your manchester suburb and your bribe ridden corporate sponsored breezebloc!

I have it on good authority...remember I brought you Rooney to utd during Euro 2004 from the same source, that Neill is going to liverpool.. My best friend who is a solicitor in manchester, took a call today from a client the players liason officer at Anfield, saying they need him to do some work for neill In january.. 95% certain apparently I did point put why would he want to go to a team below us in the league

Been to Rotterdam a while back with England, everything you have heard is correct.. Go to the match then get the f88k out of there, its like downtown Portsmouth on a Friday night but much rougher...the dutch firm dont believe in the modern English philosophy of firm on firm they just batter anyone they see without asking questions... Get the train station outside the ground and then stick togther for a train back to Amsterdam...I persoanlly would nt go in 1's or 2's back to rotterdam.. Cant make this one away but I'm sure krakow will be as interesting

Eastern europe and Ajax away would do.... Good perfromance , good crowd the future is bright

I'm coming up for this one as a season ticket holder, which means another 1am return so we better win... 2 - 0 Nonda and BENTLEY

The footnote on my posts says it all....like Gav worst day of my football life..that crappy v shaped terrace enclosure.. Forced myself back to Selhurst many times since but HATE THE PLACE, THE AREA AND THE SOUTH LONDON T**SERS THAT FREQUENT IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I cried that day...my brothers went in a coach , I was only 8yrs & playing cricket, and they told of loads of battles at motorway services as 5,000 blue and whites made their way back North.. Andy Crawford where are you now?

Wellesbourne Was in the cricket field stand too.. Brother had his scarf knicked outside the ground as a trap to entice us to chase some little runt, but there was a larger group around the corner.. Drive through Wellesbourne a few days a week on the A429 Cheers

Will I was in the Blackburn end that day, I think you'll find it was Chorley&Blackburn v Preston Chorley were drawn at home but played at Ewood to get a bigger crowd, kicked off bis tyle for ages, coppers helmets in the air all over the place

Blackburn have plenty to do with our season ticket sales. If we were playing Blackburn this season in a league game at our level, we'd sell more season tickets. If we were at the bottom of division four and rovers were favourites for the champions league, do you honestly think that no Burnley fans would go and watch Blackburn? Course they would. Whilst we're at the stage we are both at I don't think it makes that much difference. However there are quite a few 'neutral' Burnley and Blackburn supporters who used to watch us both at home on differing weekends....being the costly venture that that would be nowadays, who do you think these 'neutrals' will go and watch? Not us. I think Blackburn have a direct influence on our Season Tickets, but as Claretrant says above, a locale this size cannot really support 3 league teams, plus another 30 or so within 100 miles. Who agress with this dingle view? Cant believe there are many floating supporters these days personally!

Welcome to JW Upper Tier..the atmosphere has been cracking the last season especially v Chelsea...I'm in the centre 10 rows up right by the exit, first for beer and the bogs!

Back to Dusseldorf to fanfest for Brazil v France then on the town Cant wait..only 40quid a head in the tunnel! PS WAGGY ILL TAKE YOUR SPARE TICKET

Nice one--- A few members of this site have a recollection of champagne drinking that night...the first meet of London based rovers resulted in chants of ..There's only one Jack walker reverberating around South Kensington at 2am.. A great night and Tris got laid as well if i remember!!

Have to agree ...tried to renew mine, was on hold caller 12, 15 mins later caller 1 then cut off. Did it on line eventually.. But my mate who i go with forgot to do on early bird so called a couple of days later to be told he cant renew until prices set..so now he's not bothering as their attitude ###### him off!

Tris Glasgow for the final - shame was dreaming of the Nou Camp!!!
