Me and the woman went down and renewed on saturday. There was a queue of around 30 people at all times i was there. Around 90% were their for Season Ticket's. In my time in the queue i found out that out of the people infront of me at least 8 were new season ticket holders. I also know a few extra people who are getting a Season Ticket this year for the 1st time. I think that if Rovers could pull off 2 bold signings. A big name striker like Bellamy, McCarthy or Alan Smith And a big name midfielder who still has a couple of years left like Bowyer, Butt or even bring back Dunn. I think rovers need to budget for ending the season in 17th, then if we get to Christmas and we are in the top 10, then we need to look at improving the squad further to establish our top 10 finish.

this is my 10th season ticket, i have been watching rovers since 91 when i was 7.

I think the reduction for new season ticket holders is a good idea. Say £25 off for new ST holders. Could also do the group thing of buy 5 get the 6th free to try and entice groups of lads. Also why not have the tickets on sale before end of season, then put on a deal where if you renew or purchase a ST before end of May then you get a free home shirt.

Half way thorugh my 6th season as manager. Iv been the manager of Barcelona, Newcastle and now Roma. Also been the manager of England, Czech Republic and now Portugal. In total my teams have played 366 days and lost only 34 of these. Id say thats good going. In 366 games my teams have score 1105 goals

20,000+ tickets sold already for tomorrow's game

We are second only to Chelsea, that is scray but to be honest if i was the board then id do exactly the same. We cant afford to tighten the wage budget further, we need better players not worse. As for improving season ticket sales then they should offer a new introductury price for new season ticket holders. Give them say 15% off. We could also do a similar thing to holiday companies. If a group of you buy say 8 tickets, 1 goes free. Main key is the Asian public, but i wont keep going on about that

Rovers need to work on their PR work. Advertise ST prices in LET, Citizen, Lancashire Post. Post out an invite letter and application pack to all houses in Blackburn and Darwen areas. Have a Ticket desk in town trying to sell a few extra season tickets. All that would help, however the main thing for us to do is to sign a big name player or two and also start picking up points. I have full faith with Hughes on that one

I spoke to them yesterday and they said hopefully by the end of the month! But not for sure

Was Mark Hughes there? Was very impressed with Sergio Peter. We appear to have some very good young players that could make the grade; Jemal Johnson, Peter, Derbyshire, Garner, Byrom Who was the lad at right back? Tugay was class with the fans.

Glazer has his 75% now. As per BBC website

To be honest it wouldnt suprise me if Hughes signs Bothroyd

Continued from page 1... In my 2nd season in charge of Newcastle i won the league by 4 points from Man U, lost the Champions league final 1-0 to Man U and also got to the semi finals in both domestic cup comps. Newcastle team is as follows Given Yobo - Aaron Hughes - Steven Hughes Rochemback Sneider - Basturk - Milner - Kapo Torres - Pazzini Subs - Costa (GK) S Youla Tim Janssen M Diarra Van Borre or something like that (Belgium defender) My reputation is still world class. I am still manager of england, now in the quarter final of the European Championships. England havent lost a game for 26 games and we have won 8 on the trot

Out - Short - Released to Sheff United Gray - Signed by Leeds for a nominal fee Flitcroft Amoruso Also i hope that Gallagher goes on a Season long loan, unless he can find his shooting boots. Wouldnt mind seeing us look at Routledge, Ellington, Koumas, Bellamy, McCarthy and also another defender

I think our bad boy image is actually going in our favour. It seems to make the players just play better so the media can keep slagging us as much as they want for me. Maybe we could get some sort of song going about us being bullies or dirty? Rovers 3 - City 1

Great performance, just a shame we couldnt of bagged at least another 1 or 2 goals. For the 1st time in a long timne last night, i noticed one thing. Everyone in a blue and white shirt actually looked like they wanted to do well for the club and that they were'nt just there for the pay packet. Hope MGP's injury isnt too serious and that hes back for saturday. If we can play liek that in the last few games then we have every chance of moving up another couple of places

Anyone know where the arsenal team are staying on friday night? MAybe we could arrange for someone to set a few alarms off in the middle of the night?

We thank you for your support. I 'twould be there, save the 5000 mile trip, and I'm dirt poor. I'm a poor student and I can't afford Fox Soccer Net, so I'm having to get a friend to record it to VHS... Here's hoping my shirt arrives in time for the game... So what is they have sold out. We will still outsing the cockneys. Hopefully come the end of the game il be able to sing to them ' Beat little rovers, you couldnt beat little rovers

Remembered a few other things about the tactics too. Play a mixed type of passing, with a fairly quick tempo. Also the player in the mokoena type role has an arrow sending him back to centre defence position.

The main reason behind the fact we are taking only 16,000 - 17,000 is that its a stupid time for a kick off and because its so expensive, yet it is only a semi final.

What is it you want to know? You play a 3-1-4-2 formation. Play with 3 centre backs - The middle one having an arrow to order the centre defender to go back to cover almost a sweeper position. Then 4 midfielders. The left hand side of the centre with an arrow running into a position just behind the two strikers. The right of centre midfield having an arrow going to where the other midfield centre player is positioned. The wingers are just as they are. No arrows on them With the two forwards – The left hand forward has an arrow coming straight back into an attacking midfield role. The right striker is just left how he is. You then set your team up to play an attacking mentality, strong defending, closing down always and also play the offside and the counter attack. Anything else you want to know? I have sign Kapo on my left wing from Juventus and he is devastating on the break. Signed him for £4.7 million, he is now worth £14m, however I have a price tag of £24million on him and Man U, Chelsea and FC Bayern are all interested in him. In my 2nd season as Newcastle boss now. In the summer I signed Torres, Basturk, Yobo and Youla all on free transfers. There combined value is £70 million.

1-1 after normal time. 2-1 to rovers after extra time. Us getting the winner in the 119th minute

Which game would be more important? To me its the semi final. If we can get through this game then we will be in the final with plenty extra cah for the manager to spend in summer. Also maybe European Football. Ok you may not be able to afford the two but who is to say we will get to the final? The pundits and bookies dont, but we need the fans and vocal support to prove them wrong and to help the team. Il be there singing my head off. While il be gutted at the following we will probably take, im sure WE will get behind OUR team.

I seem to of got a tactic that works. I was at 1st the barcaleno manager, after two seasons my reputation was world class. I then left to take up a job at newcastle and half way through my 1st season there i got offered the england Job. So far out of 169 games in total in all competitions with all teams, iv only lost 19. I play a counter attack, play offsides and iv got it so that all the team closes down and tackles hard. I play a 3-1-4-2 formation and it seems to work with all players. Iv also got a few arrows pointing players to run in certain places. So far iv won the league two times in a row with Barcalona, and a cup. In the 1st season in the league i scored 105, conceded 25. 2nd season i scored 111 goals and conceded 19. Then went to Newcastle and finished 4th in my 1st season. Ended my 1st season as 2nd top scorers with 80 goals. Now im getting ready for my 2nd season in charge. With England iv played 4, won 4, Scored 22, conceded 1

Cant believe only 12,000 tickets have been sold, after the weekend game and a few more sales it looks likely that we wont even sell 20,000. So forget the ones who aint coming, its up to us who are going to get behind the club, as the others havent!! Final tickets should we get there should go to those who have a stub for the semi final. It seems only fair to me!

Which channel is our game on? BBC or Sky?
