SIMON GARNERS 194

Bolton have already sold nearly 22,000 season tickets......we'll be lucky to sell 11,000 IMHO.

Thats an unbelievable statement Waggy,were you cherry picking on Manxman hill when the games were on?

EH ????????But that is what Cole DID do Waggy.....the excellent reception he got after his last game said it all.

Good luck Stead......come on up Andy Cole!

Nice post Scotty,agree entirely.

My first reaction to that comment from the match commentator was you complete and utter ChUNT . . . . . . . Then again it was some 5,000 higher than Bumleys best attendance last season.

25,600 .....unlucky England lasses but you just weren't good enough and it showed today

According to the official site they're expecting a crowd of 20,000+ come Saturday!!

football apart, the womens game can have its own strange attraction!!

Like Modi, I have just renewed my season ticket online....what an absolute doddle!!!

Sorry to say but without serious changes to that Hammers side they are guaranteed relegation fodder.Zamora looks half decent but the rest are nothing more than average at best.With West Hams reported debt to be at around 30 million, there looks to be very little chance of investment in the team on a scale clearly needed. . . . . . . . . Preston didn't look up to much either

......and to think we got pillared for taking 18,000.

As much as I dislike Utd,for one selfish person to be allowed to disrupt a club and plunge it into so much debt,uncertianty and upheaval is truely appalling.Glazer has no interest in football,never has and never will. MONEY

The 6% increase is good over two seasons but when you break matters down,the matchday price of £30-32 to watch a game of football in this area is pushing it to the limit.I'm lucky enough to be able to afford the season ticket but many with families will see those matchday ticket prices as a complete turn off. Blackburn is not a prosperous town,unemplyoment is above national average with the weekly wage on average below,one thing I have noticed is that people in this area demand value for money and therefore are more careful as to how they spend their coin.....could anybody on here at present state with hand on heart that £32 to watch Rovers is 'value for money'? There is nothing the club can do,they are pissing against the wind,like it or not we have a small fanbase and the only future outcome is that the club becomes more and more reliant on the relatively small(by Prem standards) number of diehard season ticket holders to stump up the coin pre-season. There appear to be so many outside factors working against our grand old club that I honestly fear that in the not too distant future a return to lower division mediocrity inevitably beckons.......and that hurts like hell to say.

A+ ..... Just another way of screwing more money out of us!

WELL DONE 'POOL! The majority of clubs would be happy with 1 European cup win never mind 5!!! Like 'em or loathe 'em they possess a SUPERB TRADITION

Increase from £385 to £410 at 'Loyalty price' for my seat in the BBE lower....I will pay BUT I want to see an improvement on the pitch..... Shefki f'kin Kuqi????? Matchday ticket prices.... A+ game £32 / A game £30 in BBE lower.....YOUR PUSHING IT TO THE LIMIT ROVERS!!!!

Agree with Ewood spark,Preston have a big catchement area stretching from the fylde coast up to Cumbria.Their fans are like any other,when the going is good they will come out of the woodwork.

Now Given twists the knife a little further into Souness side............ http://www.football365.com/teams/newcastle...ry_152707.shtml

Very enjoyable evening had by all,Tony's reception from the fans was thoroughly deserved.The reception for Shearer was equally excellent too......I get the feeling many outstanding matters have been put to bed once and for all tonight. A very respectable 13,584.

Eddie, the responce from the Blackburn public to Rovers lowering the ticket prices in the past has been nothing short of appalling. Have Rovers fans not been their own worse enemy here?.

Great for the very limited amount of new supporters that would be attracted LD but at what overall cost to the club?...further and further into the red?/less and less income. A vicious circle.The crux of the matter is entertainment upon the field of play and, dare I say, possibly outside investment in the club. The spark has gone, you only need to witness the lack of atmosphere and 'buzz' around the stadium before the game has even bl00dy kicked off to realise something is not quite right at Ewood these days!

The club is up ###### creek.The promotion of Wigan and possibly PNE will only further strangle our supporter catchement area....time for everyone concerned with Rovers to don the tin hats I'm afraid. Its damage limitation time for Rovers as concerns season ticket sales and the only way for the club to ride the coming storm is to invest in the team and that purely in an all out drive to hold on to the numbers at present,basically a massive gamble. My honest and heartfelt opinion as Rovers somehow attempt not to lose anymore ticket holders?........PISSING AGAINST THE WIND Another sobering thought,what chance PNE having more season ticket holders than us if they come up

Were you the exception to that Waggles! What about the Championship celebration...you not up for it?

You could always ask Tony to lend it you back interest free if your skint! ....get your arse down you miserable sod.
