v Leicester City (a) - 28/02/23 (FA Cup 5th Round)

Depends, if it’s 6pm on Sunday night (like one of the QFs was last season), for example, they won’t fly out. -

Tottenham paid £30 last night… -

You know Rovers fans, wouldn’t surprise me if we struggled to sell them or they sold out in 5 minutes… always unpredictable for away followings! -
4,800 according to the official page (so who knows, possibly given an increased allocation at some point, as home areas weren’t selling out?) https://www.tottenhamhotspur.com/news/2023/february/sheffield-united-v-spurs-fa-cup-ticket-news/

Tottenham got 4,800 last night…
-
Due to the size of allocation, I imagine it will be fairly standard, I.e: Phase 1 – Season Ticket Holders with 1875 Club Membership Phase 2 – Season Ticket Holders Phase 3 – 18 Game Package / HST Holders Phase 4 – 1875 Club Members Phase 5 - Open Sale As plenty of ST holders won’t bother, it should go to open sale. But I suppose it’ll depend on how many ST holders that aren’t bothering themselves ‘lend’ their ST number to someone else…

Rail strike if on the Saturday…

If the ‘project’ Reggie is banging on about is having a club with an average budget 4th in the league and in a FA Cup Quarter Final in his first season then he’s my kind of PM… -
I’ve no time for Tottenham, but it’s obviously a great stadium as new builds go…
-
A big chance as theoretically we would get 7kish at City, 9k for OT. And quite a few ST holders won’t bother.
-
Ha, what ground is then?

BBEnd NO1, and I might start to do that myself, getting to a JWU stage of life, I think… -

Bloody hell you’re joking! He was getting dogs abuse around me against Swansea. Pals in different areas/stands have all said the same. And I bet plenty on here have seen it at Ewood too. Was building ever since the Dingle debacle. ’Football’s shit’, ‘going nowhere with this guy’, ‘should have kept Mowbray’. A goal from them would have seen the crowd turn big time. -
Crowds are low because we don’t sell enough STs, and as ST holders make up the vast majority of the crowd, it’s those that need to be cheaper, unfortunately those on social media just don’t understand that basic fact. It’s still £24 a game for this deal in the JWU (the most popular stand for walk ons), is that supposed to see a stampede to the ticket office?

Thought he’d lost the dressing room? -
A ‘quarter ST’ is better than doing nowt but at £99 to £120 (I.e £20 a game in the Blackburn End/Riverside up to £24 in the JWU) it’s not really going to move the dial, as if you are still a floating fan by this stage of the season it’s because you can’t/won’t commit to every game, and if you can’t make just one of the five there’s no saving anyway. It will sell a few hundred, but a well timed announcement though, which makes a change.

The way it is with quality managers, GB needs a succession plan. Brighton are an example of how to do it. -
JDT cup wins… 6 TM in 5 years… 7 (than includes 1st/2nd round FA Cup wins in League 1 season).

Bloody hell an actual Rovers dedicated piece on the BBC…. Is it 2009? https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/64806400 -
So do I, but I have often heard rumblings around me from other ST holders if 3/4 offers occur in a short period of time… ‘no point buying a season ticket’ etc.
-
Think you can if you have a ‘membership scheme’. I.e members pay £15, ‘non members’ (I.e Dingles) £30. Sure I’ve seen it elsewhere.

Cameron Stewart, Simeon Jackson, Tony Watt, Jay Spearing, Chris Brown, Luke Varney. Endless list of shite in that era. A lot of issues on the commercial side, but by god the playing side is in a different place...
