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!

I'm off tomorrow night In the car with 3 mates ( 2 gooners and a chelski ) Eurotunnel to calais, drive to Brussells Friday night Up early drive to Dusseldorf, check-in hotel, ditch car then 30 mins train ride to Gelsenkirchen for around 11am On the beer, to the ground wait for kick off touts hopefully drop the prices and heaven are we.. 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!!!

Got home at 12.30am, a record time of 2 hrs 20 mins...but worth all the effort .. The atmosphere for the last 5 mins was electric..even in the Jack Walker We're all going on a European Tour - Sept 14th first leg I believe

Asked the question to one of the directors in the Directors box at Charlton on Saturday.. Injury prone and lives a lifestyle not of a premiership footballer was the reply... Head must rule heart!

I thank you

What can i say.. Was working overseas so had flown back from West indies for last 2 games , barcodes at home and this one.. Arrive in Liverpool Saturday night...out on the town until early hours..after living on a caribbean island 9 miles long with 1 road for a year, the scantilly dressed scouse birds were a cultural shock! Walking to the ground scousers kept coming up to me in my Rovers shirt slagging off the Mancs.. Get to my seat in the corner of the kop and centenary stand...surreal atmosphere as game kicked off, nobody wanted the home team to win! Big Al scores but the team look tentative and as you know the scallies pull one back..Scousers forget the manc factor and start chearing their team on... Free kick hits the back of the net..an empty feeling hits my stomach, so close so far, disbelief..then joy, is this really happening? am I dreaming...run on to the pitch, get swiftly returned to stand.. " congrats mate dont worry we will win it bac off you next year" dream on scouser still waiting... walk back to the car, people shaking my hand as though I'm a film star, had promised my fiancee I'd be back in Sussex that night as been up north since the barcode game a week ago.... What do I do..just got engaged, she hates football, back to Blackburn for a night to remember or drive back to Brighton? Make the call - tears at the other end..###### better drive back...play we are the champions the whole way back...meet some mancs at a service station near warwick, a wry smile as I meet their eye...the cashier says congratulations... Back in Sussex around 10pm.. She was an ex wife before the turn of the century and I missed the best night in rovers history...Big mistake not to go out in town but a great day! First person I see in the lanes in brigthon the next day is wearing a rovers shirt, we shake hands knowing the little mill town dun good!

Lee Surprised Charlton sold out - on sky and meaningless fopr them - is it cheap tickets? I'm sorted luckily in Directors Box as one of their directors is a fellow regular at a London pub! 2-0 bellamy and Reid

Defintelty going to this one and predict a WIN!!!!!!

This should be the higgest attendence of the season, just under 8,000 scallies, a decent kick-off time, a holiday weekend and only 2 more home games with Europe beckoning , I would be disappointed if under 27,000.. 2-0 Bellamy and Bentley due one PS Any rovers fans in Blackpool know a good driver? I need a car to take me to Ewood and back from Blackpool where I am staying for Easter , in hospitality so dont want to risk driving..

Martin O Neill without a doubt... He's won trophies - 2 cups with LCFC - where are they now Numerous with Celtic and a European Final.. Best tactician, media man and man motivator on the short list.. E Fife have to disagree with you Robson and Butcher would be a disaster, would send the dressing room to sleep Would be a disater if the barcodes get O Neill and not England
