At what point/times scale would YOU disband Rovers and instigate Lancashire utd then Theno? You do realise that any Lancashire Utd would probably have to start in the North West Counties League dont you. FORGET IT -

SPOT ON! To see Rovers progress through to the group stage must be priority for all concerned with the club,great Kudos for a small town club like us....its about time we earned ourselves a pedigree in this competition instead of that dunces hat! I cant wait personally. -

Problem is we've had the cheap tickets before with poor response.....Gencler,£10.....14,000. Lets hope the recent 'your letters' brigade from the let make the effort. -

Lets see how many 'walk-ons' appear next Thursday with season ticket holders getting in free.....I bet the fair- weathers are moaning about that now in the pubs and clubs of Blackburn. You just get the feeling Rovers are p1ssing against the wind constantly. -

How glad I am that you mention the drum incident with Jansen,a young player who was so genuinely full of excitement,a young lad who was so enjoying himself to the full that day that he wanted to join the fans in their celebrations. Who in the current squad could you see doing that? -

Because Rovers success happened far too quick and we attracted too many 'bandwagoners' who were simply not in it for the long haul.Barring a miracle like £10 tickets across the board next season our crowds will continue to fall until they reach their natural level. -

Blackburn Rovers are an English footballing institution and historical pioneers of the game.For 130+ years we have had the highs and we have had the lows but one thing remains constant and strong and is a source of pride for us all...........WE HAVE ALWAYS SURVIVED,WHATEVER THE DIVISION,WHATEVER THE WEATHER AND WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO. Hypothetically speaking,If the choice was given between the total disbandment of Rovers and the forming of a hideous 'Lancashire United' or going back in time 20 years to the Rovers of old,(old Ewood 6-7,000 crowds)I have no doubt in my mind that 99.9% would choose the latter. Theno would be the .1% -

It certainly is worring Abbey and Rovers being the small town club they are are going to take the brunt full on the nose.We were getting bigger crowds during the Div 1 days not so long ago. -

SIMON GARNERS 194 replied to rover6's topic in Football Messageboard Archive
I know I get pillared for talking about crowds Rev but like you I hope to god the club does realise whats going on and except they have made a big mistake with the pricing,only some 15,000 Rovers fans today......can we realistically carry on at that level? Fulham at home along with Reading,Charlton......sub 15,000 crowds? I will have a guess that we dont even break-even on 18,000. **sigh** -
[Archived] Match review: Rovers 4 Man City 2
SIMON GARNERS 194 replied to rover6's topic in Football Messageboard Archive
One of the most open games I've seen at Ewood in a long time....VERY,VERY entertaining!!!! End to end and a real game of two halves with some solid performances from the likes of 'Gamst'(about time) Savage and Emerton.The McCarthy/Nonda partnership could be promising. Great to see Gallagher score infront of the Blackburn end 18,400 with about 3,000 from Citeh ......VERY WORRYING,PLEASE FFS COME AND SUPPORT THE CLUB!!!! -

I'll be brave enough to suggest Dinnis is not the only one to be convinced yet...not by a long way. But lets be sensible enough to give the lad time to adjust.Who else of real quality is McCarthy partnering up front? he CANT be expected to pull us out this low on his own.
