from my experience both in job and as an England follower the dutch boys run just as quick, have big mouths and are not any more scarier than little ol ladies crossing the street

what side is it on ?

BRING BACK SGE That was the biggest pile of poo I have ever witnessed in recent years. The worst ever England game in the past 5 years against a second rate team. Lampard is crud, the partnership of Gerrard and Carrick is pretty dam useless and Downing was nothing more than rubbish today. I hope that Rooney and Defoe start on Wed with SWP on the wing as we have today lost 2 easy points and with the Russkis and Isreal drawing we could have marched one step further to qualifying, but, England being England we fail to take advantage. BTW Congratulations to the FRISPS who have just dicked the froggies

Nice reply scf08 I am definately not worried, My ticket is guaranteed ! I am concerend that people think the dutch supporters will be out in numbers, I dont think so as I expect feyenoord will have bagged 6 points before they entertain us. I am looking forward to the trip and the game as I genuinely feel Rovers are well equipped to deal with the way feyenoord play. Sorry dutchy, 1-0 Rovers

Some further information for the supporters staying at Europa 92 in Amsterdam from Central station take tram 1 and get off at the stop marked overtoom. the hotel is situated 1 minute away on the opposite side of the road. It would appear that this is very central to ALL the bars and a mere 4 minute walk from the avenue, a 10 minute wobble or in Jordans case a 6 hour slow trek

There is a very simple point that a lot of Rovers supporters are missing. Lucas is a typical Australian, he has a bloody big gob and cannot think before he opens it ! Its the one attribute that most Aussie men are born with, its a dna thing. He cant keep his gob shut coz he is a big mouthed braindead muppet who happens to be good at a sport and maybe thinks he is actually a lot better than he really is. Let him go at the end of his contract, he wont pull any big punches at a bigger club and he certainyl wont command any more money than he is on at Rovers, the market wont allow it and really, if he thinks he can displace Finnan at Liverpool, he is mistaken, that is the only big club in for him at the moment, I do not consider Newcastle any bigger than us apart from support numbers and the fact they have big fat fred at the helm who is considerably bigger than JW ! If he wants to go around spouting without realising that Rovers have supporters all over the world and who may just be watching the idiot and may listen to what he says the that alone quantifies the braindead attribute that I have levelled at him. JHC i have met some real tossers in life and he is rapidly close to joining the top 10

For feyenoords last euro game there was a crowd of 22000 in a stadium which holds 55k. Who thinks that Blackburn Rovers are going to attract a crowd of around 35k or mor e? Lets be serious here Rovers are not a top drawer attraction amongs the likes of manure or liverpool. Of course EVERYONE will get tickets as we will be allocated a substantial part of the stadium.

spot on Nayef the ref spot worrie sme greatly about this game. But something has to give with Liverpool and they have to lose at home sometime so why not versus Rovers ? Hard fought game but I dont see anything positive for Rovers as you can see the outcome now :- Liverpool 1 -0 Rovers - Bellamy scores his first league goal off his arse with a triple deflection via lucas Neills hand of go imitation ! Rovers to finsih the game with 13 bookings and 3 sending offs, Liverpool fans steal the coach wheels, the refs car and burn the linesmans flags and despite whatever happans rafa the fat spicko git will not have seen anything untowards in the post match interview

For those supporters staying at Europa92 hotel in Amsterdam, I have had a response from the hotel who are waiting with open arms to welcome supporters of BRFC. From the airport you need to catch the train to central station cost in euro 3.50. At central station catch tram 1, 2 or 5 for Leidseplein and the hotel is a mere 4 minute walk. Similarly the cost of a taxi from the airport is 35 euros. They are sending me some more information soon.

Maybe we should nominate a bar for the get together Thursday before and after the game. Seems like Rovers fans could create a little bit of an away day special on the train from Amsterdam to Rotterdam

cant see eddie elaving he is M Hughes right hand man and best friend

I personally cannot see any reason to moan about this opportunity. There are many positives to achieve if the fans take the bait and come to the ground. As a long standing ST holder I dont have any gripes but I would like the club to consider a similar scenario for the ST holders and regular away supporters in the form of a reduced travel and/or ticket but hey I am realistic. I cant wait for Bolton, the home match hoodoo has to end and it will THIS YEAR and what better way to end it than in fron tof a full house. Jim, even you can take the zimmer and wheelchair option if you like

full houses in poland and feyenoord should pocket us a few quid. a decent home crowd for nancy should be achieved basle is the kink in the equation, I cant see no more than a crowd of around 14000 for that game.

nice one Baz looks like we an get back to the centre for 1230am and show Den a good time, just got to keep him away from late night window shopping

anyone find out about trains from amsterdam to rotterdam?

absolutley no problems looks like its going to be base camp for some of us. Picks yr on the same flight as the Leyland bunch as well as Preston Blue, see ya in the flight lounge and if we have to we may be able to sort out a shared mini bus to the centre, we are returning on he afternoon flight as did reckon on a beastie night after the game !

If they saw how Rovers fans conducted themselves in Salzburg maybe they would think that we are mental. Now then where are those planes ? na na na na nanananana na na na nanananana

Den I have emailed the hotel to ask for various information regarding the vicinity and the distance to the airport I will let you know the reply W

Have it on authority that Rovers could get 4000 tickets if they want them

we have just booked in the Europa 92 hotel in amsterdam 130 quid for 4 of us for the thursday night, Den and his lad ae staying for two nights at the same hotel for the same price. get it booked on octopus travel and we can have a right old knees up on the train to the ground ! Bring it on

we are booked thats four of us. just looking for hotels in amsterdam now

check yr messages den

4 of us booked 50 quid return flights from birmingham to amsterdam on bmi !! hotel prices via octopus are approx 100 for four of us ! Leyland boys on tour with Preston Blue tagging along !

I think he turned down the opportunity to do wba so what makes norwich the major attraction ? european football and a club that is going places or norwich the zit of the east anglian arsehole ? Bowen is doing just fine as a member of Rovers backroom staff

Personally I think Rovers were well worth the win and deserved the 3 points. It is very clear that supporters have differing views about how Rovers are progressing, I think that most would have accepted our current position, points total and still being in 3 cup competitions ! So how or where do Rovers progress from here ? We are now resigned to Sunday football for at least 5 weeks and that is not too bad a thing although it may affect the crowd attendance. Surely Rovers can pull another rabbit from the hat to ensure the games are a little better attended with a school kid initiative. We need Tugay to go away for a 5 day break to recharge his batteries. Savage and Bentley need a break as above. Roberts and Jeffers should get plenty of time to work together because both looked a nuisance yesterday, and we could well have a serious problem up front if Benni and DR Congo continue to impress as they have. I have taken a look at the up coming games and we really have a chance to get some points on the board pre Christmas with only liverpool, manure and arsenal to be concerend about. All the other games are winnable or at least are games we can take something from. I saw an article about Rovers finances recently and I think in January we might just see a bloody good Tugayesque midfielder coming into the club ! Happy Monday
