I'm right behind the manager even if the unthinkable does happen but 2 wins in 12 league games under Hughes has hardly been the best of starts and does not enpower confidence in our long term ability to pull ourselves out of the brown smelly stuff whichever way we try and dress this dire situation up.

Its going to be a VERY close thing as to whether we take the drop or not. I'm afraid to say draws against the likes of Norwich,Palace and WBA so far just aint good enough and we all know it! Its just beginning to sink in just how poor we really are all over the pitch. Fingers crossed for the rest but we have hardly made any headway to date to be honest....disappionted to say the least with today.

Lose this one and all matters blue 'n' white will be looking VERY grim indeed. 1-1

I'm sorry to say but all this 'checking of ticket history' is @#/?. When we struggle to take 2,000 to Man city and you wonder why?....... its like fort knox buying tickets, it just turns people completely off.

Not good news for Rovers who rely heavily on the tv coin I'm afraid. Can see some forced cost cutting/rectructuring of the club and not all for the best.

How very,very sad to read. A manager is only as good as the players he has to work with and in the case of Wales my friend Hughes performed near miracles!!!!! Your country had its most successful period in donkeys years under Hughes...dont be bitter.

Been on a few Cardiff sites and believe me they fancy their chances...they are quite right to with our current form!

We should recieve about 1,000 tickets.

Dont forget to take your tin helmets on the day lads 'n' lasses!! The hostile home crowd will make a change from the normal drab Premiership encounters.

Some 2,000 up on the Brum game,will they return after that Waggy??......nice one Rovers

Since the start of last season we have achieved the grand total of just 6 wins in 30 home games(all comps) !!!! JHC!

WILL THE REAL BLACKBURN ROVERS PLEASE STAND UP!!?? Our team were virtually anonymous against a poor Spuds side,its back to square one we go. And you wonder why our home crowds have gone through the floor?.........

Two VERY erratic footballing sides and a hard one to predict...this one wont be on my accumulator this weekend! Spurs have some real talent in attack with Defoe and Keane and yet again the question is will our defence cope??? We really need the win in terms of points and for morale both on and off the pitch around Ewood,cant help but feel every home game now is like a cup final....should make for an exciting game. P.S. How's about bringing a friend along.....we might even see the rare occurrence of 20k home fans for this one with a bit of luck after recent improved performances...here's to wishful thinking anyway 1-1

£35 and £19!!!,god help their crowd if they are ever near the bottom again....their support would disappear faster than ours has done at those prices!

Will they charge 'away fun day' prices like the robbing gets did last year?

Methodically and with quiet confidence Hughes is slowly turning matters around.Players appear to 'want to play for him'...I do believe we may have seen the last of players leaving due to falling out with the manager and thank christ for that!!! Managerial style totaly opposite to Souness in so many ways.

FANTASTIC RESULT...WELL DONE THE LADS!!!!! Made up for the weekend now!

Rovers Alliance? our good natured 'friends' from the Turd of course,preparing the welcome as we speak................ http://boards.footymad.net/mboard/load.php...&mid=2142784912 Back to the Fulham game,another draw at best I'm afraid...our defence is appalling.

Cole left the club on good terms with the fans and only left because of differences with Souness...I believe his move was forced against his will. Only had Praise for our fans and did not go blubbering to the media. One game doesn't make a player great but memories of the best day out ever in Wales still burn bright.

If all you saw/heard was the lad acting like a fool and no racist chants then for christs sake speak the truth and DONT be intimidated. Still no concrete evidence that racist remarks were made........

Watch what you say Mr Sullivan,even if you were only speaking the honest truth ........... http://www.thesun.co.uk/article/0,,2002390...4541635,00.html

I'm starting to get a little angry at some of the 'storys' appearing, this from AOL news....... New Soccer Racism - Crisis Deepens Dwight Yorke: Subjected to racist taunts during the match at Ewood Park Soccer chiefs moved to stem the tide of racism threatening the beautiful game today after soccer yobs shamed football again. Sports Minister Richard Caborn backed FIFA chief Sepp Blatter saying players should walk off the pitch in the face of racist chants from supporters. The call came after Blackburn fans disgraced their club last night, subjecting Birmingham striker Dwight Yorke to a tirade of monkey chants as he warmed up for a Premiership game. And the grim episode of terrace racism comes only days after England players were subject to identical abuse in a friendly international with Spain. Police and bosses on both sides were investigating the claims this afternoon. And a further racism row erupted after former Blackburn and Chelsea star David Speedie reportedly launched into a racist joke at a charity dinner for Darlington Football Club Supporters’ Trust on Friday. More on Racism in Football One time Scottish international Speedie allegedly backed Ron Atkinson – who resigned from ITV after racially abusing Marcel Desailly – and peppered his speech with racist language. Darlington FC’s Kevan Smith, a friend of Speedie, said the player would be ‘upset to be called racist’ but diner Steve Rose said he would be writing to the Trust to express his disgust. Last night after the match in Blackburn, Birmingham manager Steve Bruce said he had been disgusted by the chants and added: “It is sick. They racially abused Dwight and you cannot accept that. “When you see what happened in the week and how everyone was sickened by that you can imagine how Dwight feels. It is unforgivable behaviour.” The last week has seen the spectre of soccer racism return to the game on a level not seen since the 1980s. Incidents have included: * Spanish fans screaming monkey chants at England’s black players Ashley Cole and Shaun Wright-Phillips * FIFA President Sepp Blatter saying he would sanction the team walking off the pitch in similar circumstances * Spain coach Luis Aragones branding Arsenal superstar Thierry Henry "a black s***" - and refusing to apologise * Blackburn fans aiming racist filth at Birmingham striker Yorke * Pupils in a Leicester school copying Spanish yobs and hurling abuse at a black teacher Supt Warren Turner, of Lancashire Police, confirmed that a supporter had been ejected from the ground following an incident of a "racist nature" at Blackburn and added: "Police in conjunction with Blackburn Rovers are conducting an investigation into what exactly happened to see what is the appropriate action to take - whether it is a criminal matter or something that the club will deal with.'' But Blackburn fans have hit back at the allegations saying the ex-Rovers player had been singled out because of his poor performances when he had played for club. One fan, Simon Leigh, said: "My view is that he was getting abuse about being lazy while he was at the club." TIRADE OF MONKEY CHANTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT WAS 1 PERSON DO YOU HEAR, ONE BLOODY PERSON!!!!

'our PC society being so far up it's arse the molars are rattling.' Nice one AS!

Me thinks good old chief superintendant wants to make a name for himself....what an ideal opportunity for an easy catch infront of a nation wide audience. BRAVO CHIEFY! BRAVO!! Racism is wrong but this whole episode is turning into a farce FFS!

Ste B, read my comment(PAGE 9) concerning Mrsjansens scurrilous post about bringing the name of other clubs into it. Low and behold look what happens... a stupid slanging match.
