whats the format for the group stages, who could we get, who could we not get

I'm not saying anything about their choice........

I am saying it is a disgrace they have made that decision.

Fool

Why is it a pile of crap? I am merely stating that I think it is disgraceful that some ''fans'' are not going even when it's free. I think its bad enough that fans wont pay either.... what game WOULD fill Ewood? This is our biggest game in years!

You come on this messageboard and completely castigate people for telling the truth! Its a f**king joke! Your the one talking from your rear!

Fair enough to those who have to work but there will be plenty who dont have a valid excuse who arent going... I know loads of people who fit into this category.

What is going on with Rovers fans? Tonight, we play Salzburg in the 1st round of the Uefa Cup, yes the UEFA CUP! Europe! A small town team, in EUROPE! You'd think the ground would be packed to the rafters? We played 38 league games to get this far last season, sweat blood, had some fantastic wins, ups and downs, lows and highs yet some people cannot be bothered make the trip to Ewood Park on a week night to watch their team take on Europe.... why? I even know SEASON TICKET holders who arent going because they 'cant be bothered' and 'would rather watch in the pub'. I've even had a ''fan'' say he would go but his wife thinks it will be ''too cold''. Too cold?! Its hardly Stalingrad in 1942!!!!

Nights like this make me proud to be a Rover; my team competing in Europe.... one of only a few in the whole country. But on the other hand I feel embarrassed and like we dont deserve to be playing in the competition when a measly attendance turn up. We'll be lucky to get 13,000 tonight... pathetic.

A lot of ''fans'' I've heard blame the foreign telly, extortianate prices and home form in the past few years. However, its FREE for season ticket holders and only £15 for a ticket for non-season ticket holders. Hardly a bank-breaker, no matter how skint an average fan may be! Home form also isnt an issue.. we've only lost 3 games in 26.

I really do think that if Rovers sent a taxi to certain fans houses, gave them a 3 course meal in the players lounge, wrapped them up in cotton wool so they arent cold and give them free entrance they still wouldnt go to the game.

It does make you wonder where are club is going, and where it will be in a few years time. I hope the ''fans'' letting us down tonight are ashamed of themselves, and have the grace to accept they played a big part in the downfall. In the meantime, enjoy ''What not to Wear'' on BBC1.

I've already been on it! Its a top do!

They've only sold 200 havent they?

How many tickets have we sold???

Official text off Rovers - Ryan Nelsen faces up to 3 months on the sidelines after having a hamstring operation today. Jason Roberts is likely to be out for 3 weeks with a groin injury! ffs

Is it me, or is everyone sick of this Ashley Cole business? I've been getting a paper every morning for the past 2 weeks and all thats in it is Ashley Cole's cranky-looking face on the back trying to justify his move to Chelsea, incidentally for miles more money than he was on at Arsenal.... not that he was on the minimum wages, at Highbury.

He's a tosser and players like him are forcing the true fans away from the game... Cant blame them.... Another Cole, this time Andy Cole signed for Man City last summer, he does nothing for a season on £50k a week then walk out and threaten to retire if he isnt allowed to leave to go to Pompey for an extra 10k a week.

On Sky Sports news last night he was quoted as saying " I knew my time at Arsenal was over when I asked for £60K a week and they only offerrd me £55K " 55k? A WEEK?! Poor Ashley - struggling on a yearly salary of £2.86 MILLION.

Cole goes on to complain about the fans not singing his name, and they were more bothered about Thierry Henry. So what? Henry is a class act and one of the best footballers to ever grace English turf, not just the premiership. In the end, Henry is the one to have shown Arsenal all the loyalty despite his Parisian routes and the offer of football with arguably bigger clubs in the shape of Real Madrid.

Ashley - your a self centred little tosspot who deserves a lunging Lucas Neill challenge and a bent leg....

I've never slept through any of the many more away games I've been to than you ..... you must have me confused with someone else.

Good luck in your game, and I'm sure you'll get enough players.

P.s. It was SteB who initiated the taxi stealing incident. Anyway, you should be glad you avoided the kidnapping incident.

Well no wonder your short, playing at 4pm on the DAY of the game!!

I'll be too busy drinking. I can sort you a few taxi's out to the ground though if you like?

For those arguing the toss about the game being on foreign, I found it listed on www.knplogic.com - nothing shown on satfootball I agree.

I cant wait! Beer + nice weather!!! I'm sure the game will probably be the dullest part!

Its on foreign telly: http://www.premiere.de/premweb/cms/de/prog...rt_uefacup.jsp#

Thats a good idea! See you in the airport bar ;-)

Weather's looking good team:

Well I've been to Geneva, in his home country and thats hardly a lovely place! As for the people..... ugh.

i`m slightly concerned, it says 4.60 euros for a litre in the augustine brewery in 2002 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

One of my mates cant make it to Austria now but has booked is flight.

It is available, if anyone wants it. This is for the Coventry to Salzburg flight on the Weds, returning Friday.

Anyone taking this ticket would have to pay 25 quid for a name change and the difference in price of the flight now, to what it was at time of booking. This works out at 133 quid + 25 quid for name change.

PM me or email jamie187517@hotmail.com if anyone is interested...

Cheers,

SS

No, you're right Ricky. To be honest. I'd rather go in the local Austrian-style bars cos the Irish ones always charge more for beer!

Yeah I will probably head there.... are you on the Coventry flight GAV?

Just realised, that the 1st night were in Austria its 1st night of Champions League. Man Utd v Celtic. Not that we'll be able to see it.
