SIMON GARNERS 194

We ALL wanted a piece of the Rovers pie when we were successful.Its times like these that the club really needs its 'supporters' to come to the fore. I respect others view's and opinions and yes, its bl00dy well frustrating at the moment but to an outsider reading some of the comments on here,he/she would be even further convinced about our fans reputation as a fickle bunch. What the supporters of Burnley,P.N.E or poor Blackpool would give to have been in our shoes these last 13 years god only knows. STICK WITH IT LADS 'N' LASSES.

Its a difficult one.... what happens if Rovers reduce ticket prices but still see a drop in attendance from poor football? How many times have the club dropped ticket prices and seen zero responce from the Blackburn public in the not so distant past,again,look no further than this Wednesday by all accounts.How much money will Rovers lose on a sub 10,000 gate! At a guess I would say the crowd has to be near 15-20,000 just to break even on ground operating costs alone. I fear its a no win situation at the moment.

I thought the 'GRAEME SOUNESS IS A W*****' chants were childish and pathetic. I just sat there shaking my head,no need for it,non at all.

Are the right people listening though Waggy..send an e-mail to the club. I shudder to think what the attendances will be for West Brom,Pompey,Charlton etc!!

I hope and pray we play a strong side,Rovers confidence will be down and its got the makings for a shock result this game.

Totally agree Waggy but why just 3 games,why not most home games? would any season ticket holder begrudge a kiddy the chance to support their home town team on a regular basis.If not free tickets how about kids for £2!!...we have a whole upper tier of the Darwen end completely empty for 80% of games......what an absolute waste of space.

Look at the poll results,the vast majority wanted him in, me included...we knew the risks appointing a relative rookey manager could pose.Like Rev states Hughes is doing himself no favours with this 4-5-1- malarky against poor opposition, we all want the fella to succeeed but is hughes becoming his own worst enemy here with this negative style of football?...only time will tell, only he can change that. As a previous manager would say we'll have to wee with the willy we've got....and that aint much at present

Newcastles first league win at Ewood for 44 years I am led to believe.

So you would be happy to see us play 1 up front against Div 1 town? WTF.... I respect that he kept us up last season but its about now,right here,right now and 4-5- f'kin-1 aint working sunshine...most can clearly see that.!!! 'Who the F***am I '?..one of the ever dwindling number of season ticket holders who pays good money to support this club and are entitled to voice their opinion.Most on here care with a passion and can see everything is not rosy in the Rovers garden. Right or wrong, respect other peoples views without the abuse and you'll be a better man for it shilito15.

4-5-1 against Huddersfield?......would he f'kin dare!

Amen to that....AND BLOODY WELL STICK TO IT HUGHES!!

Its getting desperate,I know how you feel Paul..we could well be outnumbered by the town fans at our own ground. Desperate.

Huddersfield expect a following of between 3-4000!

The depth of feeling regarding this pathetic,boring and unimaginative 4-5-1- approach to our formation is deafening on here...for the sake of the club Mark Hughes change it for good !!

Shocked, stunned and very ###### off! 4-5-1- yet again and you wonder why our attendances are going through the floor with results like that. P.S. Is Bellamy a striker or a winger?...he didn't seem to know himself,he appeared to be doing the work of others far too often for my liking.

PaddyK, you've brightened up my morning no end with that bit of Newcastle 'spin'...... Roll on 2:00pm.

Bellamy on the bench?...dont be silly. If Hughes does start with just Kuqi up front I will be seriously P1ssed off!!

Bumley now third bottom of the Championship....'YOUR HAVING A LAUGH! CHAMPIONSHIP,YOUR HAVING A LAUGH!!'

Yes, that's right Mr Premier league spokesperson, what you really mean to say you slimy b'stard is that..... 'we will continue to fleece the supporter with ridiculous ticket prices to try and sustain it' ON YOUR BIKE!!!!

2-0 Rovers... Bellamy to cause havoc!! 8,500

3. Reducing the number of pro teams in the country and particularly in this area. There are simply not enough fans of any one club in this area to provide the finances required to support one a top team.

The negative impact of Sky is really coming home to roost isn't it! We may be lucky to see 20,000 on

Den summed the situation up perfectly... 'They will listen when the big clubs are affected. No doubt about that whatsoever. As for the rest - tough.' The rest of us could fold for all they care.

Reports are there will be thousands of empty seats at Stamford Bridge tonight v Anderlecht......£48-60 a throw! Will they listen to the fans??........................
