  1. Commission? I know where you sit
  2. Yesterdays news I think, but it does seem to be a rather drawn out transfer which indicates Dunn may have more irons in the fire. Does anyone know if he was at the breezeblock yesterday? 1million with another million if he completes a certain number of games is good business in my book.
  3. Clearly we won't pay what big club are asking. Dunn himself has told people on this site he wants to come back, but Hughes obviously doesn't think he's worth the money. Onwards and upwards.
  4. Tugay should be worshiped in the same way as Man Utd worship Eric Cantona. If ever a club needed someone to worship its us. Giddygoat mentioned sometime ago about producing T-Shirts in the style of Che Guevara with Tugays face on, they'd go down a treat, maybe someone with knowledge in this area could give us a shout on how we could do this. For me his footballing ability is one thing but him celebrating with the fans on the pitch at the end of most seasons and the league cup semi final win will stay with me forever. Feynrd was just typical of the man and someone mentioned it was the first time radio Lancashire had actually commentated on the warm down! Legend.
  5. Just got "Hats off to the buskers" by The View. 4 Cracking tunes on the album, saw them in Manchester a few weeks ago, great gig plenty of energy and going back in Feb to see them again.
  6. With the sky money going up from 20 to 37million that'll subsidise cheaper tickets for a while without compromising the clubs fortunes on the pitch. The club are already doing just that with the current deal still in place and our revenue is one of the worst in the Premiership.
  7. I firmly believe that the club will strive to make football more affordable to Joe public and with the Sky money going up, a balance will be found between us remaining competitive and affordable ticket prices. The clubs in good hands and we should be thankful for that.
  8. We've got bigger fish to fry.........
  9. So which team is currently having their best season in recent times, are currently sitting pretty in 3rd place and can't even fill the smaller away allocation at Liverpool? Now I'm fully aware our away support is poor but I'm shocked to see less than 1000 Bolton fans at Anfield today for the top of the table clash. Very poor Bolton but I guess highlights many points made on this thread already.
  10. I'd be extremely reluctant to let Gally go simply because he's a Blackburn lad with an obvious passion for the club. He doesn't look good enough thats clear for us all to see, but locally born players are hard to come by and Hughes should keep him around for as long as possible In my opinion. I never thought Beattie would make a player either and we let him go, I'd love to see him back and we should learn from that mistake alone because he can do it on his day. But Hughes is working to a tight budget and he'll make decisions based on that so I guess its a case of watch this space. As for Nonda he's certainly another Grabbi in the making. I always thought Grabbi would come good , Nonda shows the same attributes and simply isn't good enough I'm afraid. When he gets the ball you think "right here we go" but almost every time it turns into nothing, exactly what Grabbi was like, get rid Hughes.
  11. My views on David Dun over the years have been well documented, not had a decent run of games since our promotion season etc etc. But you can't help but think, that hopefully Dunny will realise just exactly what he lost when moving to Birmingham and will not want that to happen again. From what people are saying, coupled with the fact he's that few years older, maybe just maybe he can be the player he promised to be all those years ago. An added bonus is that we've again stuck one up big club and that fills me with glee Good luck Dunny, no pressure........ :ph34r:
  12. Spot on.
  13. Not at all you'll be fine.
  14. I'd take relegation and a UEFA Cup win. Just imagine Blackburn Rovers actually winning a European trophy I'm still finding it hard to believe we're actually playing European football
  15. I saw that guy far to many times I can tell you, sure he was following me
  16. The guy is indeed a legend if not a little embarrassing for Macky junior Just been told by a Liverpool fan of a trip to Porto a few years back. Liverpool advised all fans to meet in a certain area to be bused to a safe drinking area near the stadium. They were taken to a large expanse of gravel on the outskirts of Porto, surrounded by police and held on the buses for 2hrs. NEVER AGAIN
  17. Having arrived at the designated meeting point a good 3 1/2hrs before kick off, the police closed the bars and insisted we remain there until 8pm when the bus would then take us to the ground. Not a hint of trouble just bad policing and will certainly put people off following the guidelines laid down by the club in future. We were kept penned in like animals and if you attempted to leave you’d be met with hostility and abuse. It needs mentioning please BRISA as I’ve never experienced anything like this previously on European trips. Both Turkey and Bulgaria had just as much potential for trouble and yet things went like clock work in those two countries. Thanks in advance.
  18. It could have been allot worse with some of the faces in Amsterdam over the past few days. It doesn'"t make things right but it could have been worse...... I'm fecked! :ph34r:
  19. Just sat in my the hotel lobby and thought i'd write my experience of yesterday. First of all the support out here both in the bars of Amsterdam and on the night of the game was nothing short of sensational. Something about these European trips brings out the best in you and it's an experience everyone should have. Everywhere you tunred in Amsterdam you'd see Rovers fans, the bars echoed to sound of No Nay Never etc etc and the grasshopper on Wednesday night was like the brown cow, fox and hounds, white bull etc all wound in to one. WONDERFUL. We left Amsterdam about 4.45pm yesterday and headed for the designated port area where we'd been told we could drink before the game. We arrived in Rotterdam and were told we could not leave the station and thst s train would along soon to take us to the port. 20 Mins later we were on our way and got to the port to discover the police had just shut the bars for no reason at all and we were penned in to that area for the next 2hrs with only water to drink and no explanation at all. Having remonstrtated with the police we were still given no explanation for why this was and had to wait for the buses to the ground. This also caused more friction as they ran one bus to the ground for around 500 people, when that returned they put another hundred on and so on. I still can't believe it never actually kicked off there because of the police's decision to close the bars, if ít had been a different set of supporters it would have got nastly. I'll never attend a meeting point organised the club again. I like many had been all over Europe watching Rovers and I never been treated like that, even with England it's rare these days. To say the police are used to dealing with supporters they were clueless, ignorant and aggresive in some cases. It really spoilt the night to be honest. As for the ground itself it was like going back in time with a couple of lads ripping tickets off in a booth, it took ages to get in the ground then we were lucky as we had seats but I know Bob flemming paid 300 quid to come over for a day and never saw the first half due to cr@p stewarding. It was amaturish and just made the whole game an experience I won't forget in a hurry. Anyway I'm ###### off again now so I'm going for a beer and something to eat. Great result, Wonderful support, onwards and upwards. Well done to all that travelled. A very sober Gav (Explanation why, above) agrees with both Hughes and Savagae, we did boss the game for long periods. They were poor and had a few chances but we bossed the game. I was impressed with No 24 for them. We never got past him once, maybe worth a look at Mr Hughes.
  20. Just setting off, see you all in Amsterdam.......
  21. We'll be there this time tomorrow Now just to get today out of the way
