TJ Hughes perhaps? They would once again live amongst the multi-millionaires of Cheshire and shop,club and generally show off in Manchester......they would be welcome to it.

Sheffield Wednesday fans sarcastically give their across city neighbours the nickname 'THE BLUNTS'........cant really think of anything more appropriate to call our lot at the moment, we posed very little threat to Utd all game to be honest. We are heading the wrong way in the Prem and matters need to change very soon.

Very envious indeed,excellent news about the large following .....Just a shame we cant take more than 400 to Goodison!! Anybody any links to Feyenoord fans MB?

Step forward Mark Hughes.

Exactly. MASSIVE exposure and interest for a town club like Rovers if it did come to fruition......we can only hope.

That post has lifted the spirits tonight pal,small town club that we are,they'll never take our achievments away from us...NEVER!!! Lancashire Utd my arse

That thought has been eating away at me also since todays final whistle, its very sad and unfortunate but the Premierleague must take top priority,and low and behold at a time when when we finally look like we are capable of doing something in Europe...we've won three Uefa matches and totally regained our pride back since the Trelleborgs bebacle but god help us if its at the expense of league form. Hughes must feel so frustrated at the lack of financial backing at the club let alone the fans ......brassed off at our paper thin squad, REALLY flurkin brassed off !!!!

This side is simply not strong enough to mount a Europrean campaign and Premiership football....one has to give and its clearly the Prem!! GULP!

I agree with your post USA Blue, I do also wish more people within the town would realise how lucky we are to have this club.For me personally,as a fan who started supporting Rovers in the dark days of the early 80's, what we have now and what we have achieved this past decade or so was beyond my wildest dreams as little far back as 1991. What makes me both sad and mad is that people moan about the prices even when the Utd's and Liverpool's come to town(we still cant fill our sections!) will they EVER realise that maybe in 5-10 years time when we are playing Wallsall at home in a freezing Nov night infront of a 3/4 empty stadium just how lucky we were back then. The loss of a manager, the sale of high profile players,and down turn in finances and hey ho,before we all know its 1980 all over again for our club.....just ask a Forest fans how he feels.

Burnley played infront of just 11,700 today in their lofty position...is this currently a predominantly East Lancs problem.

Have these Baffoons nothing better to do than slag off us 'unfashionable' clubs? More and more I am convinced they want the Prem full of big city clubs and nothing more.

As well as the Riverside stand the area behind it is a disgrace and needs improving.I work with fans of many clubs who have visited Ewood and their almost unanimous opinion of the 'shed' is it looks ridiculous compared to the rest. Why anyone would not support sensible and within budget redevelopment of that side of our ground is beyond me. Remember the original plans that were mooted for the Riverside?...a 15,000 seater behemoth taking Ewood to 40,000 capacity!!.A model is still on show at the club and can be seen on the ground tour. With the current crowd problems thank christ it never happened......we'd have ended up giving Utd or Liverpool the whole stand!

Their South stand holds 5,000 Rev,Ewood would be a great modern stadium with similar in place. Surely cost is not a massive factor here if its achievable for a club(with all pespect) like Pererborough utd........its just a lack of forsight imho. And your sopt on about Ewood looking more full for twelve months or so while the redevelopment took place!!

Many of you are missing the point here.....we dont have to increase the capacity just bring the stand and its facilitys up to standard and in line with the rest of the stadium.Quite frankly the Riverside looks tired and totally out of place with the rest of Ewood and lets the stadium down badly aesthetically....the fans on that side deserve better. Look at PETERBOROUGHS SOUTH STAND and look what is achievable under a budget,imagine this stand or similar in place of the awful Riverside.....smart, modern two tier seating in line with the rest of the ground and even space for exec boxes !!!! With a bit of imagination,sponsorship and the WILL to finish Ewood properly, it is possible.

Rovers are to continue with the cheap ticket initiatives despite the 'disappointing' responce on Thursday ,so says John Williams in todays LET.

JHC!!!! I wouldn't have thought anyone would have had the bare faced cheek to state that after season ticket holders had the Salzburg game for nowt. It really does begger belief

Its been great to have Tugay here, he doesn't score many goals but by christ they're gems when he does!! Nearly always the last player to leave the pitch after acknowledging all corners of Ewood,he along with Freidel were Souness's best ever signings.

I might well do Phil,these Uefa cup games are giving me great entertainment and at bargain prices unheard of at most other Premiership clubs.....other Rovers 'fans' just dont give a toss either way pal at present such is the apathy within the town.

Garbage Flopsy,Rovers have bent over backwards to help the fans and the responce was pathetic with a two fingered gesture. I felt like I was robbing my own club last night at those prices,there is NOTHING more the club can do. If I read another letter in the LET complaining about ticket prices my fookin head will expode after last night.Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

At just £7.50 NEARLY free!!!!!! What a shame at the responce.

Great second half performance....TUGAY YOU ARE MY TURKISH DELIGHT!!!! Just over 13,000.........

I may feel inclined to offer the ticket office another £20 out of sheer embarrassment tonight....I feel like I'm robbing my own club at these prices. Lets face the facts,many in the town just dont give a f**k about Rovers,the clubs banging its head against a brick wall.

According to Lee on the official site as of yesterday the club had sold less than a whopping 10,000 tickets. Please dont have the cheek to moan about prices again.....end of.

Thank god,the energy and enthusiasm Savage plays with is just what we need at this moment to lift this sides spirit....what a terrible time for this many injuries to occur. Our crowd must be the 12th man come Thursday....the lads will need us more than ever.

Anyone else catch the sky footage of our 2-1 win back in the mid 90's with Pearce scoring the winner,our fans must have filled the lower tier of that stand(4,000)....how times change eh! Hammers fans making a big thing about our lack of support on KUMB
