Anyone know anything about the german ref thats been appointed?

to be honest i don't think the axe tackled anyone lastnight, he's been on poor form of late.

Of late!? I think he was born on poor form. Losing Savage is a massive blow. Without anybody to win the ball in the middle park i can't see us doing to great because its not as if the defence have been on top form this season is it? Hurry up Ryan. We need you. Soon.

What fans seem not to realise is that this is what we fought sao hard for last year. Europe is an achievement and for smaller clubs like ourselves doesn't happen that often. Fans should realise the significance and value of such nights.

Spot on. Sat in jack walker for a change last night and everyone was moaning how cold it was, and in the first half how bad we played (all seem to be forgotten about by the end!) but at least they made the effort.

By filling in the corners you create a greater atmosphere thus enticing those floating Rovers fans back to Ewood.Fans want excitement on matchdays.Lets be honest Ewood is probably the dullest ground in the Premiership.

I agree with you on this point, it is pretty dull.

I bet if we were top of the league and were winning things the so called fans would come then though

Suppose, but when are we ever going to be top of the league again?

Give me a fantastic atmosphere and 5000 more fans to a snooker table pitch.Bothered.

Where would these extra fans come from. The moon. And if you sit in the riverside Mr Maureen, contemplate singing. That would make the atmosphere better. There's more atmosphere on the moon than in the riverside.

Did anyone notice FC Copenhagens ground on TV last night.

Very similer design to Ewood Park but with the 4 corners filled in, unlike Ewoods badly designed gaping gaps in

the 4 corners.My point is fill in the gaps at Ewood, that will then improve the atmosphere 100%,thus turning

Ewood into an exciting place to be on matchday.

Within 3 seasons and with Mark Hughes still there, gates would increase by 5,000.

As easy as that folks.

What about our lovely pitch? Surely you have seen how bad other teams pitches get when they have no gaps. eg Man Utd. We need wind coming from all directions to maintain the state of our pitch, not just from the riverside.

And personally i would rather see the money spent on a replacement for Tugay.

im one of the six in millers group, just spoke to him and he cant remember a thing about saturday but expect him to be a lot worse in amsterdam.

were did you speak to him?

Saw him in heaven n hell, i didnt expect him to remember, he was wasted. Are all people in ur group confident of getting tickets? u been to salzburg or r u goin to krakow? presume not seen as most people just wana go to this game. u got season tickets?

2 more staying at the quentin arrive,dont look at the pictures

of the place on trip advisor.

Was in b'burn on satday night and got talking to some1 called miller from rishton i think.

He said that there was 6 of them staying at the quentin arrive as well,

although he probably doesnt remember, he was wrecked.

Anyways looks like there will be a fair crew in that hotel.

Staying for two nights in Amsterdam at the bizarrely named 'The Quentin Arrive Amsterdam' near the station. Twin room only 49 euros a night. Should be lovely.

6 of us staying there as well, wednesday and thursday night, got both nights for £40 each. Doesn't look to good! It'll do for our purposes though! How many of you goin?
