feeling confident for this one especially after Rovers had a welcome extra rest after last nights postponement, 2-v-0 to Rovers

at least Notlob wre honest enough to tell the BBC that their undersoil heating failed. Rovers undersoil heating obviously did not work properly; but the weather is to blame!!! Well stone me.

sorry Paul, I rarely disagree with you but it has been at least -1c all day in Hoghton. The Club must have expected that it would get colder when the sun dropped; it usually does! I was editing my quoted posted so I've edited the quote - Paul

thanks RB you make similar points to Radio 5. What I want are reasons NOT excuses from BRFC.

The word at the ground is that rovers f***ed up and this will cost tens of thousands of £'s. The ref was not called in until late and is blaming the Club for not contacting him earlier when he was available. To make it worse radio 5 say he didn't even wear studs when inspecting the pitch!!! lots of young kids around the ground are very fed up with their Xmas treat of a game being screwed up...never mind the 1000's of Sunderland fans. we need answers to what has happened and why the heavy investment in undersoil heating did not work...this is nothing short of a joke and a mega PR balls up, what a way to attract the floating fan at a time when we are assured a bigger gate.

revised to 24.500

Abbey I have a spare, wife can't make it. do you want it? no cost...it's christmas...well it was!

we will struggle to have good gates against Sunderland, Pompey and Bolton. The 1st two will be sub 20K and Bolton is usually only around 22k with us looking lucky to break 20k for the fixture this season. sadly I would put my dosh on wigan except....we do have Manure , Pool, Arse and Chelsea to come.

1 -v- 0 Dickov penlty 18,750

fantastic time last night. with the man urinal draw we may even top a 20,000 gate at home.

are you going to Boro? Fancy sharing the fuel??

just back. We were appaling for much of the game and a disgrace to the fantastic rovers support. MGP must be dropped, he is a 2 minute wonder boy and just does not have the ability, strength or speed reqd for thr Premiership. As for Gray and Emmerton please get rid, it is games like this that make me bloody angry; I should have gone Christmas shopping in Preston!

8 Bells (renamed 8 Pints!)

any chance of another Debs -v- Gav as per Bumley away?

they will be on ebay soon.

Sorry Paul: same row as me!!

Rang through for my Wigan tickets this morning. The Tivket Office wre "inundated for Wigan tickets and expect to sell out very soon". Took a half hour to get to front of Q ! My advice: BOOK NOW!!!!!

no need, what a fantastic idea!

1v1 16,250 and a sending off.

22,000 gate 5.000 from Everton only 17,000 Blues for a local Derby on the back of the fantastic Charlton result. God help us against West Ham

you should have been there Paul...better than Prague any day!

Great time last night; still hoarse after all that singing, pity so many Rovers fans were chucked out and missed most of the game. Travelled down on flight sat next to David Moyes who was checking Rovers out prior to Saturday...said he was very impressed with Rovers recently (obviously didn't see the Citeh away game). He refused to join up for BRISA!!

flight down from Liverpool at 1430 3v0 to Rovers!

Don't worry, this is good news: 1. they recognise BRISA 2. it gives us publicity 3. the feedback will be useful with our own research 4. it should mean that BRISA becomes a regular source of comment.

Rovers have to ensure that they have no liability for unsold tickets, however given we have sold out for the last 3 seasons, and Birmingham had an allocation of 2K I failto understand why we were not offered 2K ourselves. We will ask the question about this at the next BRISA meeting with the Club so we have a clear explanation. Sadly i'll miss it due to holidays...mind you a week on the beach or a day with the Mancs? GIVE ME THE BEACH!
