[Archived] Charlton V Blackburn
SIMON GARNERS 194 replied to Eddie's topic in Football Messageboard Archive
Many are calling for change,lets look at the present alternatives: McCarthy or Jeffers? Gallagher for Nonda? Pedersen or Peter? GREAT ISN'T IT.......AND YOU WONDER WHY WE ARE IN THE SH1T? Not enough quality,not enough squad strength in depth.Get the purse strings loosened come January Rovers or face the dire consequences. -
I'd settle for staying in the Prem.

Remember those comments well. A Reading fans comments about 'MASSIVE' club Rovers attendances? Talking of massice clubs, I thought the Blackburn match on MOTD last week was a joke. You could hear teh players shouting at each other, as well as the sound of boot on leather. Even when Blackburn scored all I could catch was the sound of some polite applause. Acres of blue empty seats. Checking the papers Sunday, the crowd was c. 16.5k. And "established" prem clubs take the ###### out of our support!?!?!!? Until the likes of Portsmouth, Fulham, Watford et al get bigger grounds, we are, frankly, a "big" club as our average attendance in the Prem is very respectable. TALK ABOUT FULL OF IT!!! -

How does it feel being one of the four teams to have won the Prem? Very proud....money alone will not win you the Premiership,ask Liverpool, Newcastle,etc.Will we ever see a club like Rovers win it again in the current footballing climate? What do you think of Mark Hughes? Doing a great job, calmly spoken and goes about the task with minimum fuss. UEFA Cup – Heaven or Hell? Heaven.We are putting the wrongs of previous years to right this time and for a town club like Rovers to represent their country in the UEFA cup makes us very proud. Why has your season started so indifferently? Again it has to be injuries to key players...the sale of Bellamy has not helped. Who has performed above expectations for your team? And who not? Very hard to pinpoint a player who has perfomed above expectations in this side to date but theres quite a few who have not!.....Pedersen has been a massive let down this season. Why do you not sell out the ground? Small town and catchment area with expensive tickets in comparison to below average local wages.We also reside in a county with far too many football clubs....very partisan! What do you think of Reading? Impressed,have done very well to date and deserve their league position......very little history and tradition though. Score Prediction? 1-1 in a very close game Any finally - tell me some Interesting fact about your club? Blackburn Rovers......the most successful 'town club' in the Country. Our highest ever attendance at Ewood of 62,255 is bigger than Liverpool fc's record crowd -

The Addicks haven't won in ages and low and behold they are playing Rovers. 4-0 Charlton.....2 red cards for Rovers. -

SIMON GARNERS 194 replied to Gav's topic in Football Messageboard Archive
Theres nothing more the club can do IHB....its only going to get worse.The club must now be at a stage where they are losing money hand over fist everytime we play at home,at a guess the 'break even' mark is now being fallen well short of.Local folk seem to be finding plenty of other things to do when Rovers play at Ewood. People talk about the lack of away support hitting our gates but lets be honest here,less and less people are turning up to watch Rovers...the pride and passion seems to be fading fast. -
Well before my time Fife but the above figures seem like pure speculation to me.I've no doubt that maybe some opportunist players did do away with a few tickets but 15,000.....Give over!!!! I have no doubt the rumour mongers in and around the pubs of Blackburn at the time did more than their fare share of damage to club relations. The one result? It has to be 2004/05 cup semi-final with Arsenal....the press reaction to Rovers defeat was nothing more than a disgraceful attack on the club and its players.

Not good enough for Ewood? -
Dare I ask what ticket sales have been like to date Lee?

Getting back to footballing matters the Nancy game is now huge....once again with the cheap tickets lets hope the folk of Blackburn can be bothered to support their club in numbers. Wouldn't it be nice to finish top.

Ciao Romax!........it will be good for you to know you have made the right choice in Rovers -
Thank god we never drew Feyenoord at Ewood...I'm sorry SCF08 but a 'section' of your support are the scum of the earth.Bizarre to see the Nancy fans all dissappear! Having said that what sort of idiot police (if indeed it was them) fire tear gas into a packed stadium? P.S. Nancy look a very classy side.

SIMON GARNERS 194 replied to Glenn's topic in Football Messageboard Archive
Star player sold-leads to struggle in league form. Does it look like I'm wrong. 4 strikers have been signed. McCarthy's been too inconsistent. Nonda hasn't made any impression...he's strong though so was that oaf Kuqi. Peter Taylor should have learnt from his Akinbiyi error. Roberts is injured following a series of inefficent displays and Jeffers hasn't found top form. Unfortunately I'm finding it rather hard to disagree with this comment. -

SIMON GARNERS 194 replied to RevidgeBlue's topic in Football Messageboard Archive
I have to agree with some and say all this 'European glory' is giving a slighty false tint to the season.We are where we are in the league because we have not collected enough points and quite simply not performed to potential in certain games,the table does not lie. We look a tired and jaded side at the moment lacking in ideas and as for the 'nothing to worry about' brigade....... leave that Amsterdam space cake alone will you! I hope like many the purse strings will be loosened come January and the team significantly strengthend in the right areas
