No doubt Mickey thomas,Greame sharp et al will be itching to deride everything connected to Rovers tonight on the Legends phone in...nothing unusal there then.

'THE WILD ROVER'.... why in gods name has this never been made the official club anthem?

You are spot on Roverite,lets get the frustration out of our sytems come Wednesday and roar the lads to victory....we can also send a clear message to the Southern based media as to what we think of the appalling press directed towards this fine old club.

Like Rovers fans yesterday, the Geordies were MAGNIFICENT in support of their team today!!

Northern 'bully boy' cloggers(with terrible support) 2 - Southern London based ' footballing artisans' 0

So there it is in black and white,unashamedly,in all its putrid arrogance for all to see. This is the fulcrum of English football in the 21st century, summed up in a short sentence with its two fingered salute clear to all other league clubs..a sorry state of affairs indeed. The ultimate truth is that the media would be more than happy to see Man utd,Arsenal,Liverpool and Chelski play in their own little mini league and the rest of us can go to hell,fold, never to be seen again. I HATE THE DIRECTION FOOTBALL IS HEADING Roll on the Palace game when we can welcome home our lads.

A bridge too far for us against a quality side but we did our best with what we have, we can all look forward to better things next season under Hughes. The vocal support from Rovers fans was superb,I'm afraid to say Arsenal brought the 'Highbury library' with them today.....THEY MAY WELL HAVE THE NUMBERS BUT BY CHRIST WHEN IT COMES TO SUPPORT THEY ARE NOT IN THE SAME LEAGUE!!!! I'm with you Theno, we are really taking an undeserved kicking from the media,from dirty cheating Blackburn to having apalling support, the accusations thrown at us today are infuriating and unjust. THE 'BIG CLUB' BIAS IS UNBELIEVABLE.

Its time to stop this 'I'm a better supporter than you' ###### and direct all our energy into silencing the Arsenal come Saturday......... WE ARE THE ONE AND ONLY BLACKBURN ROVERS F.C. .......THE PRIDE OF EAST LANCASHIRE!!!

IF we are looking at the possibility of selling 17,000 by Friday then its a decent effort in the circumstances. If the game had been played a Villa park then I confidently predict that demand would have outstripped supply.

We have every chance. Rovers 5 Them French's 0

WELL DONE THE LADS! A solid performance and an indication of things to come I feel...we can ask no more. If 'ARRY AND JIM manage to keep that lot in the Prem they will have worked wonders.

Its started............ http://www.football365.com/news/story_148813.shtml

Agreed mother!.....read my post before Bryan. Bryan lad....you and yours are the ones who need to stop moaning about f'kin prices and relative fan 'prosperity'!!

The cost Is the same for the fans of Arsenal,Newcastle and Man Utd Bryan but they have all sold out.

Its no good beating yourself up about it,except that we dont have the fanbase nor it appears the interest to take big numbers. Its a crying shame but thats the way it is.

Jesus wept!

''£225, not including travel, lunch, parking etc'' It's scandalous mate.My sympathy goes out to anyone like yourself who thought you could make a family day out if it.

I find that article U-N-B-E-L-I-E-V-A-B-L-E!!!!! Having read it I'm more convinced than ever that the top football brass are becoming more and more detached from reality.Have the away fans paying less than home fans?,should go down a treat eh....yeah too right. How about lowering the prices across the board for ALL football supporters you set of FA puppet gobshytes and then, low and behold!, you will very possibly see the trend of falling attendances reversed THE SHEER GENIUS OF IT

Spot on Paul, the need for Rovers fans to stand up and be heard about the reasons for low ticket sales will become increasingly apparent in the next week or so as the media hacks sharpen their knives. Dont let these p1llocks move the goalposts and focus the blame on our 'poor support' to save the FA's face.Like I say they've cocked it up big time and its come back to bite them on the arse because of their greedy ways. Errrrrrrrr hold on!......did I just say 'rovers fans standing up for themselves'

1-1 Stead. 20,500

I'd be completely indifferent if Lucas left for a good amount of coin,no more no less.

Empty seats!?.....Wont be able to avoid it mate,ticket office has been dead all weekend. Once again I'll be surprised if we sell 15,000. Its all set to blow up in the greedy FA's face and quite rightly too.

Ticket office deserted this morning.

Happy chappy here!!!
