[Archived] Huddersfield Town 3-1 FT

[Paul]

OK that's three more for BBE tomorrow night!

I expect you lot to behave as I've promised the youngest we can go on the BBE. No drinking, no swearing please

[AggyBlue]

Then my post was worth the time and effort.

[den]

Well done, you two.

[cletus]

If they don't go to the game, they're not supporting the club - simple.

Sorry Aggy, but i cannot agree with you there.

Blackburn Rovers is not the 'be all & end all' of peoples lives.

I really REALLY hate all this "I`m a better fan than you" 5hit, which appears on this site all too often.

I know people who`ve supported Rovers for years, but due to their financial situations, they cannot afford to take the kids to Ewood. It`s a simple choice in some cases....

food, clothes, roof over head.....vs.....90 mins of football???

A wage will only go so far.

I would never EVER criticise anybody for not going to a football game, because i don`t know the situatuation they are in.

Well it's certainly riled me enough to think f**k you then I won't bother. I was wavering because I have to work late and to be honest because i'm so depressed by it all that i've had enough. Clearly the £500+ for my season ticket was wasted as i'm not a fan so I may as well not bother tomorrow.

[Alan75]

I'm not going to the game - yet I've been to every game so far this season, I went to 75% (at least) of the games (home & away) last season, and the season before, etc.  I've been a season ticket holder for years and I've been going to watch Rovers for more than 25 years.

Am I a lesser supporter than someone going tomorrow?

Does that mean I have to write a match report now

[stuwilky]

Im not a fan either MB, I spent over £2k following the Rovers home and away last season between me and the boss. To put that into context that is around 10% of my income for the year gross of tax and the other crpa I pay out every month. And thats having a wife child and ###### great mortgage.

We arent true supporters because we miss a cup game against Huddersfield after the team put out what they have been doing recently.....

Ho hum, think what you want, I suspect you are being rather sanctimonious.

EDIT - By "great" I dont mean good, I mean large.

I'm afraid so Alan. Soz.

[bellamy11]

Nothing to do with tomorrows game (I'm going, by the way, just in case somebody tries to bite my head off), but I'd just like to point out that I've been to pretty much every game in the last two seasons, and I haven't seen Scotty at any point during those games he has supposedly "been" to.

I wish I hadn't seen you. Unfortunately you seem to keep turning up in the pubs I drink in.

Stalker.

I'll be there, but it's probably more to do with the fact that I won't be able to afford to go to many more away games (other than the ones in and around the north west) this season more than anything else. I want to make the most of any home cup games we get, because I more than likely won't be able to travel if we get an exotic away draw.

It's certainly not because I think we'll be turning Huddersfield over easily and it'll be a goal feast - I think the results tonight have shown the lower division teams are giving the premiership teams a good game (watched Grimsby hold on and snatch a late winner against Spurs and it was well deserved)

Cheap tickets, nothing better to do on a Wednesday eve (yes, it's that bad) and the chance of actually getting a pie at half time have swung it for me.

That's a good way of looking at it . I'm not going - I'll stay away and claw back a tenner from the £500 they conned from me at the beginning of the season (£16 if I include the kids )

[SAS]

i`m going, i hope to see a rovers goal

Well bugger me backwards with a bargepole. I never actually thought of that one!

I'm doing the 60 mile round trip again. I must be off my head.

I haven't seen a goal watching Rovers this season.

I missed West Ham away and Fulham at home.

If we don't score tomorrow night, when will we?

[Alan75]

Looking at the reserves line up last night, (unless he's injured) it looks as if Andy Taylor will play against Huddersfield tonight.

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

3 of us are going - £16 is a very fair price, surely it is better to give the club the money rather than seeing the Manchester Bucaneers on Saturday for the princely sum of £64.

348284[/snapback]

Nice one Quack,absolutely spot on.

COME ON ROVERS FANS!

Of course not but as Quack says there is no logic in not going to tonight's game and not donating 10 quid to club funds but then spending a small fortune on an away day out on Saturday of which 32 quid goes to the Buccaneers.

Not the best example for you maybe as you're Manchester based but I'm sure you'd be doing the same if it was an away game anywhere else.

Also with a low crowd anticipated every single bum on a seat is doubly important tonight.

It's in that sense you're not supporting the club in this particullar instance.

[cn174]

Well I'm going, tickets are only a fiver for me and I might, just might get to see Rovers win.

I really think we need to put out a strong team. By all means but in a few youngsters but I hope the majority need to be first team players. Oh and playing 4-4-2 would be nice

[Alan75]

I must be mad, but at lease with a small attendance I should get away easy after the game.

Please no extra time

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

Look at the attendances last night, ALL were very low....as expected at this early stage in all honesty.

[Ozz]

Exactly my thoughts.

But people aren't going to pay to watch c*** football at the end of the day.

348216[/snapback]

This is one of the bizarre things about watching football-there are no guarantees.

You could watch 37 league games out of 38 and see crud week in week out and the fact remains that the 38th could still be an absolute craking match.

It`s just that at £10 to watch, the gamble is reduced considerabley than that of £30.

[Ozz]

I haven`t missed a League cup game since West Ham away(2-0 BTW) mainly because the majorityof these games are very cheap to get in to. That and I`ve nowt better to do most Wednesday nights. The breadknife insists on watching the Bill and I hate it.

[waggy]

well i ain't still going but junior and brother are going costing me a total of £15 does it make me a fan
