[philipl]

A lengthy preview from Squarefootball. Take a bow Paul.

[MarkBRFC]

This game has got 0-0 and replay written all over it.

[LeChuck]

Got my ticket and persuaded two other people to come with me...

Whether I can do that again will depend on Rovers performing well...

4-4-2 please.

[laughatthedingles]

another good preview by squarefootball.net The most worrying thing about the whole article is that they say only 11,000 tickets have been sold by Rovers by the time of writing which would appear to be this morning or last night!

[greggyk]

must be very old, because a few days back (according to the LET)we had sold 12,000.

Im guessing we've sold at least 16-17k now

[SAS]

0-0 for me, i hope i`m wrong, i really dont want a replay out of this

[rover6]

Leicester have signed Stefan Moore on loan and he could play against us.

[cn_barlow]

Apparently Leicester have signed Aston Villas' Stefan Moore on loan and he could play against Rovers

                                              Link

Do Villa have a problem with Rovers or something? In the build-up to the Burnley match they loaned Peter Whittingham to the Dingles... now that Rovers have advanced to play Leicester, Stefan Moore joins the Foxes on loan. Why do they seem to want us out of the FA Cup?

never!

[Blue and White]

I think we'll nick it 1-0. Hopefully Stead again (but anyone would do ofcourse).

[Bobby G]

Well it looks like United will join Arsenal in semis.

What odds on the "draw" keeping them apart to allow them to meet in the final?

One question,what if United and Arsenal meet in the final and both have gone to the Champs League through the Premiership.Who gets the UEFA Cup spot?

[Bing]

7th place in the Premiership.

[Eddie]

Leicester have signed Stefan Moore on loan and he could play against us.

Only about a day late on the pickup there Rover6

Hoping for a win but never know in these cup ties, though we SHOULD go through.

[Yan]

does anyone know how ticket sales have been doing?

if its a crap atmosphere i shall be annoyed...but far too tired to act, due to the ungodly hour of the match on the sabbeth!

[mattym]

just a quick word on the 1992 playoff final,me personally have no grudge to grind,you were the better team and deserved to win.

Best team you are having a laugh you absolutely hammered us that day I know this because I was 15 at the time and it was one of the last matches I ever watched Sober

Colin Hendry and Alan Wright both cleared off the line and you were all over us !!! when Super Atko got us the 2nd penalty and Newell missed I thought we were Doomed !!!!

Although tomorow for the first time in a while I am really optimistic and think we will do the business !!!

I don't know what you were on MattyM but I was there at Wembley that day and it was a remarkably comfortable win for the Rovers with very few alarms in our penalty area.- for which I was very grateful as I don't think my nerves could have stood yet another play-off reverse.

[den]

"absolutely hammered us"?

The best team won MattyM

[mjs]

Are you sure you were sober mattym because I don't remember Leicester hammering us.

On Monday - when we did the interview - there were only 11,000 tickets sold. I don't know the figure now. Been doing this every gane since the third round - seems to be working

[JAL]

If there is a small turnout on Sunday from the Blackburn fans what do we do if the team arent achieving theres and our goals... what do we do ?

Do we turn it into atmospere to savour.. from all that are attending !

Or Do we chant very rude songs at those people sat at home or in the pub!

The bbc would definitely like the the first, but do we the crowd give them what they want?

[Ben-2000]

Leicester didn't batter us, but as you would expect the last few mins were a bit tense!

[roversWASmylife]

I hope it doesn't come to a replay, but if it did does anyone know what date the replay match could be?

[Manchester Blue]

If it does go to a replay then it will be a week on Monday at 19.45 I think.

[neophox]

we'll win the game confortably....The players is fighting for their places in the team....can see us win 3-0!

Stead, Dickov and Pedersen with the goals!

[92er]

The 3 other teams that get through will want to be drawn against the winner of this tie.

[Oklahoma]

´We are going to win 2-0 Stead and Nelsen

Hopefully, we'll get to the final and I'll be there to see it.
