SIMON GARNERS 194

Disappointed he never played yesterday but better fit for the Hammers when it really counts.

Agree entirely there.

Am I alone in thinking the Fulham game,the first home game of the season, (probably going to be played in good weather and with new signing Bellamy + new team enthusiasm on and off the pitch)would have been an ideal opportunity to have a ticket promotion to attract a higher than expected gate....what would there be to loose? Have Rovers missed an opportunity here?

One thing I do lament about this site is the lack of any opposing clubs fan views on matters like fan loyalty,relative ticket prices and the perception of Rovers fans as a whole.Could spark some interesting debate and open the eyes of a few! One week to go and we haven't had a single Hammer say hello! Infact we dont get many non-Rovers full stop!

One of the non attendees was a season ticket holder Theno. I reiterate my point that less than half our season ticket holders turned out...... 'not proper fans'?????

NO. Did you think a defeat at home on the last day of the season will bring them flooding back?,the atmosphere was also like a relegation party if my memory serves me right....only about a 1/3 of our crowd stayed behind to acknowledge the team ''The plain truth is that although people claim to be supporters Blackburn simply does not have enough die-hards to maintain a Prem team without somebody else chucking money at it. I have to agree entirely with you on that aspect but there's no point moaning about it....its like to be I'm afraid.

I hope your right greggyK but cant see it myself..Fulham will bring a couple of coaches at best.You only have to judge by the number of season tickets sold that more and more Rovers 'fans' this season will be picking and choosing their games and the most interest will be generated by the big city local clubs.

You cant take anything from yesterday's attendance,less than half of the number of season tickets holders turned up....2 people at work commented on the price as their reason for non-attendance. I'm sure you remember the days not so long ago Theno when 5,000 was the average crowd at Ewood. Lets see how many we get against Fulham.....18-19,000 at best P.S. Quite impressed with Forest's near 25,000 yesterday I must say.

Thank christ for that!,the way Jansen went down it looked like he'd definitely broken something.Espanyol were way out of order for a so-called friendly,way out of order!! Great entertaining game with matters looking decent,Kuqi quite impressed too....STILL no Bellamy??? Just to round off a good day,two-bob b'stards loose to Crewe!!

Right or wrong,I find the concept of allowing Terrorists,whose sole aim is to murder innocents,the right to even basic 'human rights' very,very difficult to come to terms with. I personally applaud Blair's speech yesterday,and like the silent majority of this country wish these measures were in place yesterday.The time has come for action..........

Nice work fella!

Funny isn't it,never really been a great cricket fan but this game has really got me into it!.Have the pc version...great graphics and good game play,one or two gripes like repetitive commentry and the silly crowd jumping and swaying at every hit ball action but all in all its a great way to waste half a day! Just played Bangladesh on the county setting and balled them all out for 38 off 12.2 overs.......Harmison(Hermason! ) 8-18! Have to say though I find the the test level setting against a team like the Aussies almost impossible.

Word has it that just short of 11,000 have been sold to date

Sharia law is coming boys and girls...get those prayer mats out,and that includes you Theno my good chap!!

The twisted mind of the Muslim Extremist

Still waiting!

Replace the 'fear' with 'care and concern' my friend.

Take a gander CLB

1-1 Matteo header! I'm fearing we're going into the new season with a half fit side

With a population of over 300,000 it might surprise a few as to how many Wigan average next season.Could it be claimed that Rugby is no longer the main sport in pie land?

Two words Gav..........GERALD JACKSON! Everybody in the place/Prodigy

Nobody seems to know TD...the club appear to be very quiet on this and perhaps with good reason?

Has anybody who renewed on-line received their season ticket yet?

Looks like the away following is improving !! The Blackburn massive

Cant wait to see Bellamy play....Espanyol game?
