Today I was offered a bet that made me stop and think. Usually I’m more than willing to back my judgement when it comes to backing Blackburn Rovers but this bet got me thinking......... Wigan's average gate over the season will be bigger than ours? i obviously disagreed. To be even thinking about it shows just how far our home support has declined in recent times. Should I take the bet or not......... £50.

I'd have thought Fulham would sell the least amount in the Premiership.

£180 each for the weekend.....Ummmmm?

Cheers Lee, I'll have a look.

Which airlines and to where is everyone flying? Getting itchy feet may come over.

Fantastic! So what does that have to do with Blackburn rovers..............? With the away section being sold out, don't even try to buy tickets in the home end? A place of prominence but useless to boot

I wonder if Bellamy will play against Morcambe this weekend?

Then possibly Lazio

Do we have a bar code on the site Can I ask you a couple of questions? You are labelled the best fans in the country, through thick and thin, yet on my visit in 198? You had around 16k on? How do you explain this? You've spent hundreds of millions of pounds and won F ALL, how does that feel? You have a manager who will run out of ideas after 18months, who'll be the next man in charge to flog the proverbial dead horse? Fat Freddy called you lot stupid for buying £5 shirts for £39, yet shirt sales are again through the roof, he was right wasn't he.......

You don't look a day over 21 RB

Can I claim expenses for members staying at my house??????

Tell you what you can't rely on anyone down there to tell the bloody truth, my information came from deep within the walls of power as well

I heard a rumour that the european side visiting ewood will be Racing Santander.

Cole was bought to score goals and if you look at it in that context yes he did very little but being told to run the channels, which isn't his game, he worked his socks off and played very well indeed for me the season he left. I'd welcome him back with open arms although I fear many won't as he's past his best. As for Stead, he wasn't good enough but has something that may develop with time; unfortunately we don't have that time. Good luck and thanks for keeping us up.

I'm sure most people on this site realise that we're currently in a very depressing downward trend in terms of season ticket sales. In my opinion we'll struggle to sell 13,000 this time around and home attendances will again take a hit like they've done for the past few years. Many reasons can be put forward as to why we can't put bums on seats but undoubtedly the rubbish we've been watching recently is a major factor above all else I’d say. Even with reduced prices people just don't come to Ewood anymore and that’s a big worry. I look around the league at teams with similar aspirations to us: Bolton are going to sell-out of season tickets and are putting people on a waiting list. Charlton are increasing the ground capacity because they can't fit everyone in that wants to come. Why the hell are we not able to do the same? Or even get 25k home fans through the gate for the bigger games? We've had far more success in recent times than either of the teams mentioned but yet were getting out supported.... Like BF has already mentioned if you can't sell season tickets you'll not sign player like McCarthy or bellamy, we'll end up with Marcus bent again or someone of his ability. It’s about time the town woke up to the realisation that we're not going to survive in this league without they're support. Unfortunately I can see us back in the championship in 3-4yrs time because we just can't continue like we are and gates falling is a major factor in this. Maybe the championship is actually our level in terms of support and wages to reflect that support....... If we go down it'll be to late so we need the Blackburn public to act now. PS, Would never happen but an open letter in the Telegraph spelling out the need for the Blackburn public to come back to Ewood or face a very uncertain future in the top flight may prick a few consciences?

Just been to the ticket office and 7000 been sold Lets hope plenty turn up on the night because to be honest 7000 is disgusting.

I'm just wondering if anyone else fears for the future of Blackburn Rovers like i do? Gates are falling worryingly, and now people just can't be arsed to turn out for what is being billed as a championship reunion party? What the club achieved back in 1995 was nothing short of remarkable yet people just don't give a toss anymore and this attitude has been evident for the past few years with the falling gates. Debs says i've been working in burnley to long but i'm starting to worry that burnley will sell more season tickets than we will, they've sold around 8500 so far....... I fear for our club i really do.

She'd never been to Rovers before she met me!

I'm trying to contact a fellow poster who goes by the name of Debs. I think she lives in Sheffield but i'm not sure. Sorry to post it here but i've no other way of contacting her

I've been going for the past 20yrs through thick and thin and I can't get a ticket? Hope the part time bandwagon jumpers enjoy their day at Anfield

This has been done to death but: Shearer hurt many people when he left the club. He had no consideration whatsoever for the predicament he was leaving the club in, we had no strikers and no time to replace him. A few weeks before he'd posed in the new kit and made all the right noises for the coming season. We bought season tickets and shirts with his name on. Ray bought players to compliment Shearer, shearer s**t on us all. He went to see Fergie at Utd despite claims he only wanted to join his home town club, he lied to the Blackburn fans and would have joined Utd if Jack had allowed it. Then on his return with Newcastle he was roundly applauded when he came out to warm up, then when the game started he was booed and abused, rightly so. After the game he questioned the loyalty of the Blackburn fans how can he question our loyalty? The guy was a hero, but not after the way he treated Blackburn Rovers.

This old chestnut again. I don't want to get into a slanging match regarding Shearer's exit from Ewood again...but I also can't stand to see history being rewritten. As I understand it Shearer WANTED to appear on stage at the 'Theatre of Screams' but Jack Walker would not sanction it. The Barcodes where Shearers 2nd choice. Grow up!

Booooooooooo Altogether now "One greedy b*****d"

I think you'll find Berkshires buying the ale
