  1. And when that happens, then clubs like ours will be the first to suffer as the only thing that's keeping us competitive is the SKY deal money - without it and we'll be down in the bottom half of the Championship where some might say we deserve to be with our attendance. Better enjoy the Premier League ride whilst it's still affordable.
  2. Just goes to show how many of these incompetent fools that work in the (sport) media know what they're talking about. And to think that they're so powerful that they make decisions on when a manager gets the sack or who gets hired. Sometimes it does make you wonder if our Club even exists.
  3. Voted for Mark Hughes. If we don't vote for him, who else will?
  4. How could you be mad at him for wanting to play for his country?
  5. It sums Mclaren up when he picks a right back to play at left back position instead of giving someone like Warnock a chance.
  6. Yeah because getting a billboard would be so cost effective, wouldn't it? Have you ever thought that perhaps the reason the Arsenal fixture is still on is because it was on the same board as the Sheffield Utd fixture? Can't believe the club didn't get someone to come in with a chainsaw and cut the Arsenal bit of the board off after that game!
  7. And not only that, if you have already been to 3 games, you'll get a tenner off aswell with the Card
  8. He's not the only one. Bolton do the same. If anyone watched them in the UEFA Cup last year, they would have noticed there was two touch lines, one 1.5 yards inside of the outer. I would have thought that's one of the reasons why Arsenal are suffering this season. They're not used to be playing regularly on a larger pitch
  9. The tickets for Everton or Chelsea aren't £36. They start at £27. Which is a huge difference. - But I don't want to sit in the CIS or JW stand, I want the Blackburn end. Well how about the next time you're trying to purchase a holiday you tell your travel agent that you don't want to goto Tenerife for £190 they quoted but you want to goto Barbados for that price instead. It's just bloody ridiclous, if you rather spend your dosh in the pub thats your prerogative, but don't blame the club for the having different price categories, or blame the traffic or the McDonalds for shutting the toilet. Just be a man and state the REAL reason
  10. Innovative was for the high level of personalisation in the direct mail campaigns (name on the back of the kit, etc) and the crm technology used in the emails and the telephone message. I would have a look at the ads for other clubs in the papers- just pick the MEN and see Man Utd and City's ads and then have a look at the stuff the club churn out. Doesn't even come close. I'm surprised at the lack of quality that most (if not all) Prem clubs release. Many of them see the admin side of things as secondary and feel that it's no use spending money on a decent pack when fans will make a purchase regardless of what it looks like. If Coca Cola was to follow that strategy, they would be gone in a matter of months. That will soon change.
  11. They've been concentrating solely on Rovers recently, and there's no doubt that our club desperately needed the help. The team has had the experience working on campaigns for clubs like Arsenal, Villa, Spurs, governing bodies like the FA and Football League and this could only be good for the club. I've also heard that both the ST numbers and hospitality figures are up on last year and if it’s true, then it's the first time that has happened for years. We've seen ads on buses, LET/LEP, personalised direct mails, e-mails, billboard ads and had telephone messages from Mark Hughes. All of which highlight some quite innovative usage of media channels.
  12. As a Management graduate, I can tell you that Rovers marketing are in the top of the Premier League. This is based on the various activities and channels that the clubs utilises in their marketing mix. Another club that excels is Charlton. Infact many other Clubs have looked at our club and in some cases copied some of the stuff that Rovers have done over the years.
  13. I noticed during the NZ game that Bowen wanted Reid (who played on the right) not to take the def on but to cross the ball from the right as early as possible. Also Emerton was brought in not as a carbon copy of Duff (for the right) but as someone who could balance the midfield with Duff having the freedom to take on players.
  14. You're not based in the country yet you feel that the club don't do enough to attract support. Classic
  15. I'm pretty sure you can update it online. Log into your account on the Rovers ticketing site https://eticketing.co.uk/blackburnrovers/index.asp and change it there.
  16. I'm not too sure that the problem is with kids coming to games, juniors ST are the lowest in the Prem and halfway down the Championship and matchday tickets are from £7-£16 depending on which game. The problem imo is the gap between juniors and adults. Parents usually purchase the tickets for their kids but once these kids become adults or shall I say Young adults, the price for a matchday tickets goes from (£7-16) to (£15-£27) or if you want to sit in the BB end, it's £25-£36 depending on which game you pick. Now when a parent or teen sees these prices, he/she's more likely to use their money on other sorts of entertainment.
  17. And we'll just have to resign to the fact that we support a team destined for the lower leagues. If it wasn't for the Walkers Trust or the forward thinking and slightly risky strategy of having a higher wagebill than most teams, we would be in the lower end of the Championship. I agree with you that the prices are getting ridiclous, but thats life these days.
  18. If you can't afford to pay £36, then go sit in the CIS stand for £27. Beggars can't be choosers! It's a catch 22, situation here. Rovers have done their utmost to make Premiership football affordable for their fans, compared to other Clubs but they can't go on forever, just look at the transfer thread and you'll realise if the fans want £5 tickets, they should prepare themselves for League 2 football and don't start complaining on signing the likes of Kuqi and Jeffers, because without raising matchday tickets, there's no way we can compete with Clubs in signing players like Bellamy, McCarthy, etc.
  19. I agree with Rover6 on this one. One of the Sven's biggest mistake in the World Cup was not dropping Lampard for Hargreaves, thus givin Gerrard more initiative and responsibility in midfield to support the striker(s) Had it been Hiddink, Lippi or Scolari, they wouldn't have tolerated that performance from him. It's easy for everyone to have a pop at Eriksson, noticeable it's the ones that didn't perform that have decided to. If Lampard or Owen think Eriksson was bad, well let's see what they say about McClaren- the real conman
  20. There was a rumour going round that Lampard lost a bet to Terry during the World Cup. Terry bet on that Lampard wouldn't score a goal. It will be interesting to see how Lampard performs this season.

  22. Brilliant signing, dare I say that we are actually stronger equipped up front than last season. Bellamy leaving enabled us to get Roberts, McCarthy, Jeffers and now this should give us some strength in depth and in McCarthy some respect against European opposition in the UEFA cup. Bet Mido is enjoying his days training with the juniors. Happy days
  23. Agreed. We made the mistake in 94/95, we cannot afford to stand still.
