  1. We handed a stamped addressed envelope in also but the women told us to pick our tickets up on Wednesday because if they got lost in the post Celtic refuse to issue duplicates.
  2. What do you reckon GAVIN,did this little post from your goodself on Oct 15th influence,Tom Finn,Williams,into accepting only 2800 tickets from Celtic,as oppose to the other offer of 7500.Nice one GAVIN. BIG MOUTH STRIKES AGAIN. Maybe i'll have a word with John Williams and Tom Finn about the standing up in the Blackburn end since i have such influence over club matters :'>
  3. Of course I'm not blaming GAVIN,the blame is entireley on the club for being far to cautious (tickets for Celtic),and far too soft(tickets for Celtic fans,at Ewood).Negative GAVIN,did'nt even bother to queue for a ticket this morning,as he was swanning around in hic car.BUT,it seems he's landed himself with a ticket,well done GAVIN.The worrying thing is theres only a 2800 to one chance of him sitting next to me.God imagine that. Don't have a go at me @#/?. The reason i never queued is because i read the information and followed the guidelines set out. May i suggest you do the same in future to save you from further REDFLUSH :'>
  4. Let me say at this point i was totally wrong about the number of tickets i beleived we'd sell. It's clear from the way tickets have sold we could indeed have taken double the 3000 allocated but have been hit by poor away followings in recent times. Feel sorry for the ones who can't attend but most of all Jordan
  5. Came past the ground earlier and their didn't seem to be much of a queue at all. I know people queue under the stand but the windows seemed empty. Over reaction maybe? Revidge, What you must understand is that Celtic have refused point blank to give us anymore tickets and that is as simple as it gets. I agree we could have told them to increase the allocation or hold back tickets at Ewood but I’m sure that was never an option in the grand scheme of things. The club have taken a view based on away support in recent times and asked for the 3000. When was the last time we took 3000 away? all things being equal?
  6. I haven't changed my opinion on the allocation and even if I had its clear Celtic wouldn't have offered us anymore tickets in any event. They are looking after their own fans and rightly so. I still think with the game being on a Thursday night and live on TV we'd never have sold 6000 and not too many supporters will be disappointed with a 3000 allocation. As for the home game it was interesting to see the gate yesterday was around 4000 down on capacity and that was in home areas alone. Newcastle has always been one of the biggest premiership games at Ewood yet we still couldn't fill the home sections. Both decisions are will prove to be correct in my opinion. Gav I agree with you, that the allocations of the tickets are and will probably be correct, I am just annoyed that the club haven't done anything to seperate Season ticket holders, and season ticket holders who travel away often. I will not only be trying to get Celtic tickets tommorow, but also trying to get my hands on some southampton tickets which I am also sure will have the same levels of demand Great point tucker, as a few more have also made, regarding season ticket holders who usually go away. But where does this sort of grouping stop? We went to Sofia but hardly go away these days due to personnel circumstances. If we couldn't get a ticket for Celtic I’d have been up in arms as I’m sure the 20+ away games a season fan will be at us getting a ticket for Celtic! I have always bought my season ticket with the knowledge that I will be able to get tickets for the bigger games before someone who does not have a season ticket. In this day and age it may not be the best solution but it's worked for many a year now but I can sympathise. This site great that it is only serves a very small number of Rovers supporters and if ticket restrictions had been different you'd have upset another group who didn't qualify. You can't please all the people all the time.
