  1. Did Sinama-Pongolle not score a crucial goal against Olympiakos? The guy was a vital part of the team earlier in the year before getting injured. 318893[/snapback] Not sure RM, if he did, strike him off the list.
  2. I thought all those players who 'did a David May' at the end was funny. Salif Diao, Josemi, Le Tallec and Pongy all getting in on the celebration photos was different class. I mean, Salif Diao has been on loan at Birmingham all season hasn't he? I've contributed as much. By the way, well done to the Scousers.
  3. Kids under 8 go free, kids between 8-11 pay less than £100, family tickets reasonably priced, ST Holders get ALL cup games free (apart from semi and final), incentives for 'bringing a friend' such as reduced price on merchandise (and not a piddling 5% either) or maybe even a free pie or beer. The most important thing is to get youngsters in because hey, I believe that children are our future.
  4. Is it just me or are you all finding it difficult to stifle a chuckle on this whole affair? I just keep seeing all these protestors outside Old Trafford with their 'NOT FOR SALE' banners yet there's sod all they can do about it. Not for sale my arse.
  5. A win for Rovers , nae bother. All the press will be praying for a defeat for the 'thugs' so they can keep the bandwagon rolling. We'll win just to p*** them off....again.
  6. Right, I'm over the fact that there are certain people not going, so be it. Setting off at 12:45 and can't wait. Let's get there, get obscenely drunk and make more noise than the city can take. Hope to see a load of you for a drink in the centre tonight....let's make ourselves heard. COME ON YOU BLUES!!!!
  7. What's all this £45 a ticket anyway? For all those ST holders who really wanted to go there was a £25 or £35 option. I know, I set my stall out and got one, as did many others I know. All those of you that have had to go for the more expensive option, unlucky, but speaking from my own experience (in the words of Dr. Robert of the Blow Monkeys) It doesn't have to be that way.
  8. Great post and my sentiments entirely. Next time you talk to someone who says they aren't going cos they can't afford it, offer to lend them the money 'til they can pay it back, chances are they still won't go. That's my experience on three separate occasions anyway. TNR I got 4 £25 tickets and know of only 3 people who've had to pay over that (apart from those on here obviously).
  9. Reason I'm so vocal about the stayaways is that I know season ticket holders with no ties who say they can't afford it. Rubbish, it's all about priorities. If you buy a season ticket every year it's fair to say that Rovers are quite high on your priority list. So if these particular 'fans' had got their arses down to Ewood with their ST's when they went on sale (like I and many others did) they'd have paid a measly 25 quid. The fact of the matter is that the majority of the supposed 'true' fans who are not going are not doing so for one reason only. Because they can't be arsed. What do they follow a football club for anyway? Do they strive for mediocrity year in year out so they can have a good whinge?
  10. Just read the preview (even though I contributed earlier on the thread) and have to say it's fantastic. Nuclearsox, whatever you do for a living, you're wasted in it.
  11. Staying in Caerphilly and getting the train into Cardiff on Friday night for a no holds barred session. Where is everyone doing their drinking? I don't want to walk into the Slaughtered Lamb prior to getting my head kicked in.
  12. No problem with Lucas, Eddie, I don't think he's a bad player and he's not a great player, just average. But as a colleague pointed out to me this morning, when England have Danny Mills as 2nd choice at right back it goes to show how few real quality players there are in that position.
  13. No, but if a player doesn't get what he wants he becomes an unhappy player. Clubs don't keep unhappy players (ie - Barry Ferguson) and the usual outcome is a parting of the ways. A big difference here is that the time left on his contract is short meaning that he would be relatively cheap.
  14. Mark Delaney. No thanks. We'd never get him anyway. Not without offering a highly inflated price, and I have to say I'd rather have Neill. Currently in a contract dispute with Villa and has the almost obligatory Welsh links. I'd be very surprised if we're not interested. That said, I would prefer Cafu
  15. "about 5000" was the reply when I asked someone who would know this morning. Mate went down yesterday afternoon and asked the bloke in the office how many we had sold and how many we hoped to sell. He said they'd already sold 8000 and that we hoped to sell 25,000 at least. Dream on ticket bloke.
  16. Can't believe that. I've spent all week hoping that we get a decent referee for a change and then we end up with Riley the red. Where can I get odds on there being a pen?
  17. And for a bonus point, what row and number of seat does victoria beckham sit in at the bernabeu?
  18. Well that's killed that one then. What about the 4 premiership managers to have played with david beckham.
  19. Here's another one doing the rounds - 'which current Chelsea player has a premiership winner's medal'?
  20. Well said. Hearing the same from more and more Rovers fans lately. I think we're more cheesed off with his constant whinging than the referees are.
  21. Ah, Shrewsbury, memories memories. Remember going there a couple of times. One particular occasion when we stopped off at Whitchurch on the way home and basically took the place over. Happy days, but hey, you can't go back can you? Success, who'd have it.
  22. No, but you might get your head kicked in. Which I suppose is a slightly better option.
  23. Where are you staying Will? Managed to hire a bungalow for 6 people at £35 apiece in Caerphilly for Sat night now had to change it to Friday. Fortunately there was no problem and now I'm looking forward to it BIG TIME. How are we all fixed for having it large in Cardiff on the Friday?
  24. B*****ks and any other expletive you can think of.
