Like Jan I travelled 300 miles and was in corporate hospitality.. I had just got the starters when game called off...so it was a long way for dinner! Its nobodys fault...these things happen but a shame the big crowd did not see a big win! I'll be back for Pompey though!

I went in before the Brum game to buy my baby an outfit and compared to previous years it was cr%p.. They dont do anything for babies under 3rs, which they did last season as I bought my nephew in Aus some rovers PJ's and the service was useless.. Lost revenue and poor image for the club ...Something needs to be done!

I believe Wigan we get the whole end 5,000, we better as it is New Years Eve and there will be lots of interest.. League cup a couple of years ago we took 7000 as we got the whole side which made it then a stadium record.. There's a group coming up from the south so fingers crossed

Top day out at The Theatre of Silence, was in corp hospitality with 3 other rovers fans and we went crazy when the 2nd went in , the Mancs were gutted and in total silence but fair play nobody said a word about us celebrating Had MGP at 14-1 to score first so netted £140 which went on a meal for four that evening but a top free day!! Lets see more 442 and Bellamy fit for the season should shoot us up the table!!!

WOW Terrible events..I was staying in Kings Cross last night, checked out of hotel at 850am, got in my car driving along the Euston rd towards M1..There were people running out of the tube station as I went past and then the same as I went up the Finchley Rd... Luckily for me missed the chaos by minutes and got out of the city, unfortunately there are others not as lucky Pointless waste of lives

Top performance, well worth the journey.. I thought tonights team when savage is fit is our strongest... Did you notice Stead did not give away one free kick? Dickov would have been at least 6! Stead's movement was first class just lacks a bit of confidence in front of goal.. Emerton for the duck waddle of Thommo much better also.. Reid's improving.... And the support last 20 mins was great considering the attendence.. Bring on next season

Hitting the pubs of Cheltenham by 5pm..first got to negotiate a financial review with my boss for 2 hours.... WE SHALL NOT BE MOVED lets ave it

A group of 7 of us out in Cheltenham, Friday night... Saturday from 11 am will be in Old Orleans Bar & Rest near the ground for some stomach lining burgers and plenty of beer...very close to the ground!!

McClarky--- You are correct he was playing for them and we signed him on the strength of his performance - memory lapse about that one, but not about the minibus door... But he still was good for us for a time!!!

I assume also that CirenRover is joking when mentioning Gordon Cowans, he was very pivotal when we came up... Jimmy Quinn was a sensation at the start I remember an FA CUP run when he scored twice away at Swindon after we were 1 - 0 down at half time, the door on our mini bus was ripped off when we were in a tarffic jam after the match ...but thats another story...The mighty Quinn also has a feature on Football Focus for us form when we were unfashionable and never mentioned in the press!! John Lowey was OK.. David Hamilton was OK also BUt for 7 million Grabbi's display at Boxing Day against Sunderland was the worst ever in a rovers shirt!! Though Jay tried to match it against the Dingles.. Dailly was pants as was John Butcher, bu then I once saw him have a blinder at deepdale in the Anglo Scottish Joey Craig was also carp!

The count down has begun, with our 2nd half ###### take of the scummers yesterday... Table booked for Cheltenham Friday night for 7 allowing a gunner to join us and Cardiff 11am Saturday.... Beer and then more Beer... Game kicks off 0 - 0 half time would be a great result for us and then MGP or Stead to strike the winner...all the whingers would be wishing they were there but the hard core will outsing the library.... 1 - 0 to ROVERS but Emerton must start ahead of Tommo , with 1 forward you need speed on the flanks to support the lone striker.. 1 - 0 to the Rovers 1- 0 to the Rovers We shall not be moved

Lee Thanks for the update...All round very disappointing, especially as days like cup semi finals come around once a lifetime and we live for these occasions.... OUT of interest DO you think the club can do more or are planning to do more over the coming week to drum up sales?... You may ask what can they do? I dont know but with all the negativity we need a week of positive press and publicity... Front page of LET - First semi for 40 years - tickets on general sale...Support your team... Lets think out of the BOX Take the ticket office mobile - 1 day in Blackburn, 1 day in Clitheroe, 1 day in Accy, 1 day in Great Harwood go to the people... WE NEED TO CONVINCE THE SUPPORTERS THIS IS ONCE IN A LIFETIME AND THEY ARE MISSING OUT Views?

Gav A beer it is then! I cant believe all these whingers saying it is the Club's fault...the ticket selling policy is spot on the only mistake in hindsight would have been to put the season ticket sales only for a shorter time ie 5 days and then general sales...but its not the club's fault if the ticket sales are crap!!!... If you can compromise your disposable income spending on other activities to afford it ( totally understand people like Tooting Rover who cant ..) and really support rovers then an early start, lots of travelling mean nothing ITS THE FA CUP SEMI FOR GODS SAKE...any fan who says they are not going for any other reason than financial should be ashamed...AND I HAVE SAID THAT TO SOME MATES WHO WERE INDECISIVE AND ARE NOW COMING I PROPOSE THIS THREAD FROM NOW ON SHOULD BE ABOUT THECRACK AND EXCITEMENT OF AN FA CUP SEMI , LIVING THE DREAM... NOT EXCUSES AND FINGER POINTING ON WHY PEOPLE ARENT ATTENDING... Yawn Yawn Uncle Jack would be truning in his grave

nellyBC Gloucester to Newport 1 1/2 hours max... Cant believe the slagging off of ticket sales has started so early, until they go on open sales to anyone with a buying record we aren't going to shift over 10K.. Once it does we will have over 20,000 there, i I will bet anyone on this board a beer we sell over 20,000 any takers?

Confident we will sell plenty, there is no rush unlike other games.. 6 of us going with season tickets not got them yet will tomorrow...I am sure we will sell at least 25k.. Only danger is that people waiting post April 2nd will not have organised transport and accomm and may give up on the idea

Correct Giggs and Dodd.. Parlour would have been the 3rd if he had not joined boro

How many players have played for the SAME team in every single season of the premiership and name them?

Platt McDermott is 2

The player whose won everything has me baffled Has to be at Utd, Arsenal or Us to qualify and must be French Arsenal have not won the league cup for ages and utd only have Cantona, Barthez or Silvestre French but none of them have won everything, unless he is French and won Champions league and Premiership elsewhere and the rest with Chelsea?? Petit is not right so fairly stuck,,

If Sven is not for England David Platt @ Sampdoria

Viera ( champions league @ Milan ) or Barthez ( Champs league @ Marseilles ) Richard Gough goal scorer? Gary Neville under Sven

Crewe Alexandra

Gav Have to agree Tris is a comic genius in the making and wasted @ Diageo!! Cirencester - How many you putting up for B&B? In terms of trains from Cheltenham, have to go via Gloucester but not sure of the route from Gloucester to Cardiff..

Cardiff Bay is not a pub crawl session venue but plenty of choice of bars & restaurants...

Cardiff Bay has been totally redeveloped, try one of the bars & restaurants Old Orleans there if you want a good bit of grub...
