Prices will at best stay static, but every chance they will go up again (so pushing £500 for any new/returning fan), so we can wave goodbye to even hitting the heady heights of five figures (presuming no promotion), especially when most games have been on Sky since December.

Wrong again my friend 😂

I'm amazed by that statement released by the club and their chairman Alan Pace. Either they genuinely feely aggrieved and something has broken down in the process, or they're completely irresponsible. What a way to rile up both sets of fans.

Not really he is just a fuktard who doesn't understand the real issue

Let’s be real about it folks it’s the most sensible of decisions to allow only 2k into the ground and it damn well serves Burnley fC right for not giving us a better away allocation in the shithole of a stand when it would have made policing the game much more simpler ! If 20000 want to travel to Ewood good for them same for those who think they can drink all day and then cause trouble 😅 I have no sympathy other than for the loyal supporters who now have to go to a ballot for a chance of a ticket

I understand your point but why should the club be liable for neanderthal like behaviour of fans?

It feels like there's no personal accountability these days - pissing in carrier bags and throwing them downstairs tells you everything you need to know about these reprobates.  

 

NOT reprobates just utter scum

I think the point in RU is intent has nothing to do with it now. If you meet the criteria you get sent off. Its up to the tackler to make sure he does not meet any criteria no matter how unintentional. If the criteria is too harsh then the criteria need changing.

They've taken red cards out of the referees hands with the protocol to try and make it predictable and drive down head injuries.

The issue was the referee said there was no mitigation well there absolutely was mitigation, it was accidental and not intentional therefore it should have been a yellow card at best!

The only slight dampener on the day was the behaviour of a few individuals on our coach. Relieving themselves into carrier bags which then leaked onto the people in the deck below - we were only an hour into the journey. Then when arriving at Brammall Lane throwing the bags of urine out of the windows down to the people below. It’s safe to say the journey back was a smelly one - cheers lads 👍🏻

this is the dregs of some support that follows Rovers. Drunken and drugged up fukwits who have no respect for others or themselves and who think this is acceptable behaviour. Its a sad reflection on some parts of society sadly, I always found that a good hard slap always worked (a la burnley away and yes it was a drugged up drunken yob who thought he knew better)!

Proud but not down Rovers did the club the badge and the fans proud. We could have won it but you cannot take away that it rookie wonder goal in the last minute to take the tie !

on the plus side Rovers on national and world wide tv showed what a fabulous club we are with a solid and fervent away support 👍 

SUFC arena DOG shit set up dirty and lucky but they rode it and got through - good luck to them because at a vital point in the season they are facing a right walloping v City and I hope beyond hope that Boro pip them to second spot BeCause Rovers will have their revenge in a play off final ⚽️

Almost 6000 Rovers fans lets shout the place down.

Good luck Rovers we are right behind you #coyb

Not wishing to derail this thread; but, as I haven't been to Wembley since it stopped being "the old Wembley", please can someone tell me how, if at all, it now differs from the ground where we won the Full Members' Cup and our play-off game v. Leicester City?

Is it like Ewood before the before the four stands were modernised? Is it still where the 1923 Stadium was located? Are the Wembley goals still more or less where they were before any work was begun? And so is it just then a case that the stands have been modernised: fewer, comfier, seats than there used to be? Better snack bars; disabled loos, etc? But the location is still where

I'll be there if the team is; but it doesn't feel like I could ever claim to have seen Rovers on a new ground if I saw us there. So I've always wondered in what sense - if any? - is it a new ground?

The "new" Wembley is a fabulous stadium with great views wherever you are sitting. Its easier to get around, plenty of space but as always London prices around he ground for food/beer and drinks. There is a good wifi in place around the stadium as well. The trains that run to/from are plentiful and well organised.

Mowbray's rant last night is a classic ! Has he pressed Sunderland's self destruct button as he faces the wrath of the home fans?

Birmingham - D

Norwich - W

Huddersfield - W

Hull - W

Coventry - W

Preston - D

Burnely- D

Luton - D

Millwall = L

Morton has the game to suit Rovers style of play. Granted, he doesn't get it right all of the time and he makes some mistakes BUT so does every midfielder even the world class ones!

At this stage its simply about points and winning games, it its ugly, or a last minute off the arse own goal, it matters not a jot. There is a strong mentality in this squad, its there its evident and its what has been missing over the past few years.

To be where we are is a credit to all at the club.

Looking at the fixtures ahead, we have winnable and losable games, its about approaching each one in the right way and I believe that JDY has got this message through to the players.

We take the points put them in the bag and move on. No point in moaning what if or what could have been we won end of!

Roll on Sunday the league games take a back seat and some of the team can rest up after Sunday ⚽️⚽️

Heaven forbid someone criticises an "incompetent maggott" as you described him not long ago.

That was my view then. And since then, I have a different view which is my prerogative!

Reading are injury hit.....alot of players out injured.... we have to take advantage of this on wednesday. After the loss away to Stoke we have to get ready and fired up for this. BBD and Brittain back in the starting eleven could be the key this game.

I can recall a very much injury hit team coming to Ewood and spanking us, lets hope history does not repeat itself.

I find it so amusing when it’s all the clubs fault and absolute no blame is apportioned to the supporter who has failed to plan since we best Leicester in the last round 😅

They didn’t, that’s why they are putting the request in now as they’ve obviously been caught by surprise by the demand.

But all’s well that ends well. 

Wrong again MB?

Reverted to type no control no midfield and the passing and defending is non existent

By a country mile the worst day I've ever had watching Rovers Asia, absolutely devastated and its a bloody long way home from Croydon after that. 

Bristol Rovers away was by far and away the worst feeling ever!

Same cnuts who fined me 100 pounds just because they failed to make it clear u need a ticket to go on the train.  I normally pay by card on the train. It was only a two minute journey.  Never taking the train again 

Oh yes there is no doubt they are poor service wise, but for me, if you get on a train without a ticket especially in this day and age (trainline etc) AND the fact that it is advertised ALL OVER every railway station and train carriage then it is your good self who had been made to look a cnut on this occasion😀

I’ve never been away just watching from afar with far more important things to be concerned about.

Things I have written I have done so because they were my views. I know about things behind the scenes, plans, thoughts and the likes and I know my current viewpoint.

I still would like changes behind the scenes however I have altered my views on him and the commercial aspect within the club but don’t get me wrong there is still a long way to go to satisfy a complete change of mind.

Having bore witness to pathetic games at Wigan, Coventry, Rotherham etc during which it seemed we had no idea, no plan, no fluidity and not a bloody clue, it has been intriguing just watching this team develop over the past few months. In fact, it has been nothing short of a miracle to see what is happening on the pitch. There is fire in the belly, there is a willingness to run, to fight, to play for each other, a plan on the park, each to a man, the players know their job and it is incredible to see the results of their hard work.

Today, Sheff Utd would have thought they were rolling up and taking 3 points with them, It didnt happen as Rovers took them on, forced them to concede ground and struck at the right moment, and what a move it was, a complete team goal.

Carter and Hyam have been immense backed up by JRC and Pickering. Travis is a man possessed and there are fewer gaps in the middle because of his tenacity and the willingness of players around him to cover, which often hasnt been the case during this season.

Gally, well who would have imagined just what a valuable player he can be in the right set up. Samer can be said of Smodic and Dolan, two terrific players today and over the past few weeks.

I was impressed with how Sheff U play the quick ball and believe me they will come at us big time in the FA Cup game. They will want revenge at their home and they will be backed by a sell out home crowd. Personally, I am not bothered if we lost the game although it would be great to play in a semi final at Wembley.

I have a feeling Rovers wont be too concerned about it because the eyes are on the bigger prize.

55 points in the bag how many more for a play off spot? I say 73 points will be suffice and games we must win are Luton, Coventry, Reading, Preston and Huddersfield with a couple of draws along the way and we might just make it.

Rovers are not favourites but imagine just how close we can get if we can snatch a win on Friday at Stoke.

Time for Rovers fans to really back this team.

Not sure they can get less than 3000, club has to provide 10% of the ground so that’s 3000+ already minimum. I imagine they’ll get about 4k. 

If there is a safety issue then Rovers can limit the number of tickets to away fans 

Not a cat in hells chance of a guard of honour at Ewood both sets of inbred dumb fuckwitted idiots would have a field day and mayhem would follow
