Well maybe Bellamy would have stayed if we were getting 31,000 on Ewood everyweek!!!
Bellamy left for Liverpool because he has always been a Liverpool fan and is now able to fulfill his boyhood dream of playing for them. He has stated in numerous interviews that he wouldn't have left Rovers for any other club, and even took a reduced salary to join Liverpool compared to the improved contract we offered him.
I ask you all this. Which would you rather us have; a team that had overpaid superstars, half-full stadium and a ticket-policy that priced you out of going to support them anyway, OR, a more mediocre-looking squad, a near-full stadium and a ticket policy that encouraged new fans and allowed you to go and watch your team whenever you wanted?The way you've worded the question makes it sound like a lose/lose situation, but I'm not so sure that a quality team and a reasonable pricing policy are mutually exclusive.
Fair enough, we can't match the likes of Chelsea, United, Arsenal, Liverpool, Spurs and Newcastle in terms of monetary power, but last season shows that with the right ambition and passion and a decent coaching setup that we can often match them in terms of quality without £120,000pw "superstars".
We must focus on continuing to fund the academy, which is producing some promising youngsters, as well as scouting for talent in leagues other than La Liga, Serie A and the Premiership. You only have to look at Morten Gamst Pedersen - signed from Norweigan club Tromso for around £2m - to see that we don't need to spend mega-bucks to bring in quality players.

I got mine today!
BBE, Row 30, Seat 95.

Does anyone know how many seats there are per row in the BBE?
I'm BBE Lower, row 30, seat 97ish. Don't know exactly because my ST hasn't been delivered yet.

Yeah I was there about 25 past 2 and was at the shirt printing desk for 5-10 minutes and there was still a big queue for autographs. Didn't see them leave.

Just been to get my new away shirt.
I think the real thing looks better than the pictures. The bet24 bit is a bit big and plastic-like, but seems better quality than last season's Lonsdale bit.
I think the sizes are a little on the large side too, might be an idea to try before you buy.

Anyone able to say how many tickets are still available?
If I was to ring up tomorrow would I be able to join club 1875 and purchase a ticket at the same time?
