I would'nt grass on my local...............

I tried several times to re-word it then gave up,back door,rear entrance,never mind eh

Seriously though,grassing on a landlord for showing games is like grassing on someone for downloading music,everyone knows it's wrong but you just don't do it,local pubs are part of the community,I'd much rather they stopped doing it due to threat of prosecution.

It is wrong and shouldn't be happening,though I seriously doubt it's a huge reason for declining crowds,if it stops people will just glance at the screen now and again to check the score.

Some people on here are looking at it through blue and white tinted specs,it's hardly crime of the century.

bb3, I take your point about it hardly being the crime of the century, but if someone was dipping into your weekly income, you'd complain, long and hard, and rightly so.

Oops sorry.

[Yorick]

yeee, lets destroy the lives of the people that run them, that would be such fun

Thats a bit dramatic slaterscott! It may affect their livelihood somewhat I grant you but hardly on a par with being told one is terminally ill, your wifes left with the milklady, or the winning lottery ticket went into the dustbin last week.

[ABBEY]

grassing wow cant think of anything as low to do .

wonder if people on here who grass would have the balls to go in the pub when its gametime and shout HEY IT WAS ME WHO GRASSED UP

[Yorick]

But what if you were the landlord of the pub across the road who was sticking to the rules Abbey?

[AggyBlue]

Only a lowlife would grass on anyone .

393268[/snapback]

If Sky or the FA offer a financial incentive to finger law breaking landlords there'd be a queue a mile long to grass 'em up

[Ozz]

No need to grass. Just dont go in, and they will soon stop.

[cletus]

....although don't be surprised to see pub doors locked on a sat afternoon matchday now,locals only,back door entry...

Stage Door?

Dave,I agree!

Sky/the fa/clubs have every right to complain,all I'm saying is people grassing on landlords aint right IMO.

I wouldn't grass on my neighbour for downloading music,but I don't blame record companies/musicians for being pisd off about it.

I wonder how many people on here suggesting informing the authorities have got a nice illegal file sharing programme installed on their pc?

***GAVs £50 BET UPDATE***

A Wigan gate of 18736 vs West Ham saw their average attendance drop a bit.

Here`s how it stands:-

Rovers average home league gate is 20251 after 15 homes.

Wigans average home league gate is now 20904 after 16 home games (down 144)

(Rovers are an average of 653 behind)

Rovers total home league gates stand at 303762

Wigans total home league gates stand at 334462

(Rovers are 30700 behind, with a game in hand)

Both teams final home games are:-

Rovers ....Wigan,Liverpool,Chelsea & Man City

Wigan....BIG club,Villa & Portsmouth.

[1864roverite]

cant see Rovers getting any less than the following

Wigan 23000

Liverpool 26000

chelsea 25000 (cfc to win the league at Ewood ?)

man city 28000 (I know city have asked for 10k tickets)

so around 100,000 fans coming through the gates

wigan

bcfc 18000 max

villa 19000

pompy 19000

Rovers win hands down

[Hughesy]

How do you know that City have asked for 10k?

[greggyk]

theres no way they would sell 10k IMO anyway

[Manchester Blue]

They won't sell 5k it's nonsense. They haven't sold out in years or even come close to doing, in fact I think the last time they did was when they had ten quarters of the ground and 40 million watching from the hill.

[FourLaneBlue]

Rovers now have the joint third best home record in the league this season. They have averaged 2.33 points per home game. This has only been bettered by Liverpool (with 2.47) and Chelsea (2.87).

? Why do you think that? I'd bet on Wigan getting more v brum than v Portsmouth.

[Paul]

Disturbed to discover yesterday people who don't go to watch Rovers are planning to be at Ewood tonight. I shall be quizzing them later today to find out why.

Incidentally we're going, anyone else?

[AggyBlue]

Why is it so hard to understand? Look at the cost
