SIMON GARNERS 194

Into the footballing wasteland of Burnley we boldy venture again........ Glenn's pics for the Digledome 2001

Lets give them another footballing lesson and finish them off in their own back yard,that'll really grate with 'em........ As cruel and ruthless as we can be.

Yet another absolute corker of a classic comment from Claretsmad: ''Whos your dangermen?? Mortens Gans Pedersen!! hes rubbish I think it will b a 2-1 victory to the Boys in Claret so all you Blackburn B******S start rioting like pricks! no need for it!!'' You couldn't dream it up could you!!

For those going on the train,just be carefull that you dont get mixed up with the usual suspects,although I fail to see how you can avoid it...unfortunately our good old Lancashire police tend to treat everybody the same.

Another poor crowd yesterday to be honest, around 18,000 Rovers with the rest from Norwich...surprised with their good following. Sorry,but It says something not too good when fans of 'The Canaries' can take the pish out of our support. Lets all hope a few more performances like that at home will entice the stay aways back.

Scored against them and promptly ran the full length of the Longside to celebrate.Good 'owd Simon.

Anybody else putting some serious money where their mouth is for this game at the bookies?........

WHOOOOOOOOO!!!....Blackburn Rovers fc trembles with fear Zak lad!!!

That exact team and formation MUST be played against 'them' come next Sunday.

SUPER! SMASHING!!! GREAT!! Solid team performance by all concerned,Pedersen well deserving of both man of the match awards.What can be said about wee Dickov other than inspirational. Play like that again next Sunday lads and you'll be kings for the day

Great bit of news that about Todd NOT!!....coach no 20 BTW

'2,979 were visitors'? 'We had to get tickets at front of jackwalkers stand and from there the Burnley looked full bar the first few rows left unsold for security reasons'? Oh jesus not again,how many times...your like a dog chasing its tale fella!!! Just like in 2001 I see home tickets have been put on 'open sale' with up to 6 per person available to Bumley fans..that was never the case at the Ewood game for us. The fact of matter is that without this 'open sale policy' you would never come close to achieving a sellout in your home areas come Sunday....your average attendance doesn't tell a lie You still not sold out then Clitheroe Kate!?

Here we go again!

The lad who sat on his own,dejected with head in hands 10 minutes after the final whistle in the Bob Lord stand much to the amusement of Rovers fans.

Can anyone spot Longsider aka 'Tattoo' in the crowd? 'DA PLANE BOSS!, DA PLANE!!!!

Only in Burn-a-lee Gav, ONLY in Burn-a-lee!

Second biggest cheer of that day apart from Garners winner was when the the Bumley dead head decended through the roof onto his own ilk......did he really think he could fly!!!! That classic moment really did mark the start of your clubs decent into mediocrity were you have remained ever since. ** chuckle chuckle**

Thats the spirit!!! Any Rovers fans without tickets get your arses down to the Turd and get tickets for the Bob Lord stand section nearest to the Rovers fans...doubt you'll have a problem in there. The Bumley fans are getting all hot under the collar about which anti-Rovers songs to sing,sick references to Jack walker the lot.... THE BURNLEY CHOIR BOYS THREAD Lets roast the two bob shytes and put them firmly under foot as always!!

Nothing in the world can beat the pre-match hype and banter of a local derby game....... rest assured you Burnley lads can show the white flag anytime you feel like you've had enough!!

Little bit before my time but I've heard about the game in '77...Dean Hayes book East Lancashire Derbies describes Rovers as being 'cheered on by a massive following' Didn't those nasty Rovers lads burn down a Burnley club shop in the town centre for a bit of warmth too!!!!!

Demand was always going to outstrip supply..we had well over 5,000 at Wigan in the league cup a few seasons ago and christ knows this game is much bigger for so,so many reasons. Feel for the folks who missed out but what else could the club do? Once again how many could we have sold!?......BLACKBURN HERE, BLACKBURN THERE, BLACKBURN EVERY F***IN WHERE!!! Lets hope our players mindset mirrors the passion and desire of our supporters when the crunch comes on the day.

I take my hat off to thee fella!!......I got lucky mate. Gav, what time were you queueing up? The ticket allocation for this game was ridiculously small to be honest,non of the draconian ticket restrictions were in place for this game like the last league meeting at the Turd..with the greatest of respect it looks like people have been far too complacent. Sam, what chance you give us the Bob Lord stand......you just might sell out then!!!

In the queue at 6:30am and at least 100 infront of me then. Stewards advising fans arriving at 10:30 that they are not guaranteed a ticket. Will be sold out by this afternoon.

Fair enough mate,my thoughts go back to the Celtic game and how we shifted 2,500 tickets in 4 hrs,this is a bigger game IMHO. Lets just hope those who want one can get one tomorrow.......
