The cheapest seats on sale at Chelsea were £48, with others available at £60. While crackpots continue to roll up and pay these crazy prices the FA etc think all is well. -

Spurs sold out their initial allocation of 3,000 yesterday and have been given another 1,000.........COME ON! Rovers fans make the effort for what should be a very entertaining game. http://www.spurs.co.uk/article.asp?hlid=301249 -

Lack of success????????? I know some bigger clubs than Rovers who would die to have won what we have in the last 10 years! -

You might be in for a hell of a surpise with Spurs away following come Wednesday...should boost the crowd nicely. Believe it or not they have a very large northern fanbase. 3-4k will be there. -

I reiterate again, 1 adult + 1 child=£20 to watch Prem football on Wednesday against attractive opposition..... Rovers are probably THE cheapest in the Prem. -

Like it or not we attracted many 'bandwagon' fans with the meteoric rise of the Jack Walker years,'fans' who were clearly not in it for the long run.....we are seeing the negative effect of that now. Lets hope we see a positive response from the Blackburn public come Wednesday,after all,this backwater town has bugger all else to shout about. Fingers crossed **sigh** -

Listened to one woman rant and rave on radio Lancs about the cost of attending Ewood. I'm sorry but thats a shallow excuse now,she could have took herself and one child for just £20.....one adult ticket to Bolton £32!!! Even the top bargain,ridiculously cheap £250 season tickets are not sold out.....APATHY. -

Another massive drop in attendance was in evidence yesterday....the club simply cannot carrry on like this for much longer I'm afraid to say,they must be losing money hand over fist. I think I am right in saying the club would have been well below break-even point with that pathetic attendance.....9 CHAMPIONSHIP clubs had a bigger gate than us! I stated a week before the game that a ticket promotion should have been done for this game(kids for a quid) as it was clear it was never going to be a crowd puller..the club seems to lack vision and dare I say even common sense. The appparent lack of support should be a concern to everybody who has even the slightest vested interest In BRFC...the lifeblood of the club is slowly ebbing away I fear. P.S. Although Spuds have reportedly sold some 3,500 tickets for Wednesday I still cant see the crowd breaking through the 20K barrier. -

Two fantastic goals and a solid performance. 16,000 crowd! well below my worst prediction I'm afraid......when was the last time we had 16k for a home league game? Will they come out for Spurs A MIDWEEK GAME? WORRYING. -

SIMON GARNERS 194 replied to Scotty's topic in Football Messageboard Archive
Why do I feel utterly disconnected from every player who wears blue and white? Spot on Paul, I sympathise with that point entirely....the modern football team is comprised of nothing more than mercenaries who hardly harbour an interest in their respective club's outside of their bulging pay packets,let alone the fan's. They seem completely detached from reality on all level's. -
Thanks for your interest Dingle......hows life on Claret sh1t st!!!

'They wouldn't stand for it on the continent. A cheap ticket for Borussia Dortmund costs under £10, Roma just £15, and a Real Madrid season ticket is a bargain £200. Fans stand up for themselves more in mainland Europe; in England they just roll over.' When will the penny drop over here? -
Kuqi up front on his own then?.....Its all good folks!!!

I think Paul's guestimate of a gate around 16-18,000 come Saturday wont be too far off the mark I'm afraid,which in the cold light if day, is nothing more than Championship level. Like it or not Fulham are seen as 'unnattractive' opposition(just like Rovers some would say!) and will bring a full coach or two at best. Agree entirely about giving cheap ticket's to school's for the Darwen End upper for certain game's....the club has nothing to lose. It's grin and bare it time folk's.
