Must be a Beeb thing, Debs came home from work last night ranting about 5 live going on about him never winning anything in his career.
Poor Al.

I have one space on the minibus available for anyone who fancies a few beers to and from the game? Price £15 and sure to be a good day regardless of the result.
PM me if you're interested.
Thanks

The one thing that has really impressed me about Hughes is his focus on bringing in younger players instead of the over 30 brigade looking for a final swan song.
I fear that selling Pedersen would send out the wrong signal to the current crop despite anything over 6 million being very good money for a limited player.
Who'd be a manager.......

In all my years following Rovers we've never performed well against struggling teams. Lets just hope we don't continue that trend on Saturday.
Sunderland 1 Blackburn Rovers 1
16 of us going in a mini bus with one spare place if anyone’s interested. Price will be £15 with a stop on route and stop coming home for light refreshment
PM me if interested. -
o Make a 'universal' or as near to a universal price for all areas of the ground. Too many times have people walked away because all that is left is the JW stand - and people just don't want to pay £32 to watch Rovers vs Everton!
o Give the away fans the Riverside - let them be rained on when they are leaving and have to put up with the @#/? facilities.
o Relocate the family stand. Its current position just does not add up for me.
I've absolutely no idea how to address the poor gate situation, if people won't come out and support a club 6th in the Premiership they'll never come out and support us, simple as that for me.
But the points raised above should be looked at closely by the club because they'd make the ewood experience far better from a home supporter’s point of view.
Obviously giving the riverside to away fans will cause problems for some fixtures but our own fans should have the new part of the stadium and its better facilities. We give them the biggest pub in close vicinity to the ground then house them in the best stand when 3000+ home fans get rained on and can't get in the bogs or have a beer!
The family stand should be moved and the Blackburn end on mass should be where the hardcore more vociferous support is located. Having been in the family stand several times in recent seasons it’s only ever half full for the less attractive fixtures so could easily be moved elsewhere.
Lets treat the fans we have with a little more respect.

Little old Rovers 5th in the Premierleague,a town club taking on the big city boys and beating them at home with entertaining football.I cant vouch for others but I have a strong feeling of pride in my club at the moment,the town of Blackburn should be buzzing.
What more can the club do if we dont see home sections filled against Villa?
Why dont these 'fans' who frequent the likes of the Royal oak and the town centre shyte holes show their support at the ground?
Come down against Villa and bring the kids, bring the neighbours kids and lets see if the lads in blue 'n' white can re-light your fire.
P.S.
Cant afford a ticket?....@#/?! you can afford to shovel f'kin ale down your throats eh!
Amen

I went in for a mini kit, working in burnley it’s a necessity you understand
"We don't sell mini kits as we're sport world not a Blackburn Rovers club shop"
Bring back the old club shop I say.

Thanks Cletus for the fantastic updates pal.

I have no love of Wigan whatsoever after the New Years Eve fiasco at their place but well done tonight because the arrogance of Arsenal deserves nothing but elimination from the completion.
If you play a weakend side throughout the competition you deserve to be eliminated and that’s happened so well done Wigan.

Not at all Gordon. The only change was in Savage's behaviour.
Where before he would clutch his face in agony and writhe upon the grass like a stranded eel ....... suddenly he bounced back into action with a nod and a wink at his aggressor.
Is he approaching a ban or anything? Is there a risk he could've missed a big match with another yellow? Honestly I don't know the answer (and I don't care) ... but Savage played a new game on Saturday.
What do you know about football? get back on subject Tris FFS

Wasn't in there thats the problem........

Wrong stand FFS
even Debs was up for it! -
I Remember a time not to long ago when both stewards and police were praised by away fans for being the best in the country. I wonder whats gone wrong?
I'm still confident we'll out support the pie eaters...
-
I thought it was a great day out, a throw back to how away matches used to be, a bit of an edge to the whole day.
Pity they'd snorted the lot whilst i was having a p**s
-
Having not been to that many away games in recent times can anyone confirm if these incidents are the norm these days:
No Beer for away fans
Police threatening people for singing in "an aggressive manner"
Racist cr@p coming from the nuggets to our left, which also included monkey noises when Reid was fouled in the first half
Snatch squads after people for smoking, one lad was dragged from a cubicle in the gents by the stewards and almost caused a mint riot
People openly snorting cocaine in the gents
Town centre pubs closing their doors after the game on police orders
The promise of free pies, then charging half price but incapable of serving a decent sized away following
What a strange day but good see us win.
Wigan are without doubt a premiership club on the pitch but off it they've got a long way to go.
-
Gav, with all due respect, typical overstatement. As I understand it you've not been able to go to so many away games recently. (I haven't been able to either although this season I've seen all bar Citeh on dodgy foreign Telly) So really it ill begets either of us to criticise levels of away support.
This game was always going to sell out. Despite Grooby's equally predictable pessimistic assertion it wouldn't.
So let's just enjoy the day. And hopefully the result.
Have you had a bad day Rev
The tickets are all but sold out pal so as you say lets just enjoy the day.
When was the last time we took 5000 away for a league game?
-
Great news about the tickets, should be a cracking day with 5000 blues making the trip.
-
An absolute disgrace, what the hell has gone wrong with the undersoil heating.
Debs has put her extra pair of socks on and thermal Bra FFS.
Gutted
-
A victory today should help shift a few more, if we can't sell 5000 for a game 20 minutes away on a bank holiday we should pack it all in.
-
Being rather cautious on such a subject in the past, (Celtic and bumley away
), I’m going out on a limb and saying we'll DEFINATLY sell out for this one.Everyone I know is going and I couldn't even say that for either of the games mentioned above, in fact I couldn't even say that for the semi final last season.
Get your tickets early of be disappointed chaps.
PM me if interested.
even Debs was up for it!
