SIMON GARNERS 194

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

Will Nonda be fit...touch and go? This fixture seems so much more difficult now.

I'm having similar thoughts to be honest,seems out of sorts....rise above it Benni we need you now fella!

Because we lack the quality in midfield to privide the killer pass to our static,ball to feet strikers Somerset.The long ball crap we witnessed today does not suit McCarthy's style one iota. Roberts broken foot....FFS!

If anyone is daft enough to believe we can sustain both a Uefa cup challenge and a good Premiership campaign with this painfully paper thin squad then they are living in cloud cuckoo land.We have neither the quality nor strength in depth and today it came home to roost for all to see against the bottom side....like Roverite says its going to be a very difficult November,the injury crisis is very worrying indeed. Aimless crosses to nobody and hopeless long balls will see more embarrassing defeats like this. For sure,If one club has the Voodoo sign over us its ferkin West Ham at Upton park.

Woeful first half.......its just injury after injury after injury at the moment.

I think your spot on there about Burnley Blue phil,working in the place gives you a better idea of the problems they face...very similar to ours in all honesty.From comments made most Clarrots can only look on in envy of Rovers and their cheap tickets,they cannot afford to do it at Turd moor to often as according to agent Edmundson they need 16,000 at full price just to break even.....a local,top of the table derby clash(albeit on sky)against Preston only sees 11,500 home fans make the effort! Whether you like it or not East Lancashire is a very financially depressed area at the moment and football appears to be well down on the priority list

Sod the British Eurosport coverage and be there in person on the night if you can,at these prices there should be a decent gate on the night.We could be looking at winning this game to qualify through!

Rovers 2 Basel 0 Benni Mac 2 Att: 19,400 'disgusting but surprisingly everyone blamed the ticket prices'........

Never been a good ground for Rovers to visit and they really need to win this one.....you just know whats going to happen. 1-0 Neill og

The shirt itself does look genuine but its the 'Simon Garner match worn' provanence thats the sticky point. You dont see many old Umbro Rovers shirts from that era around to be honest. Mmmmmmmmmm

Christ!, 26 years ago we had a good kit supplier in Umbro,the red rose badge and no sponsor on the blue and white...... a classic

14,000+ to see the Champions at £15 + £5,a worthwhile venture for the club?...they must have 'made' a MASSIVE financial loss tonight.

Not bothered about the result but we could have done without the injuries.

If we go out of this competition on Wednreday quite frankly its no skin off my back.Then again the last thing we need is Hughes fielding a massivley under strength squad and us being tonked 5-0,that really wouldn't do confidence any good especially after Sunday!!!
