That really does both surprise and disappoint me simultaneously.

[greggyk]

Well considering we were told tickets for Rovers fans would NOT be sold on the day at Charlton AND THEY WERE, not sure if I believe what Lee tells us anymore

(although robben will leave in the summer  

believe me or not...

Is this the same Robben who has released a statement today saying that he's not leaving Chelsea

Pleasure spoiler

[Hughesy]

I dont believe all this nonesense about players are going to be rested etc. I still expect a very strong Chelsea line-up.

I still think Rovers can do it, but im not going to curse it by saying the score.

[tcj_jones]

I think we'll lose, but as 'Boro rested much of their starting 11 against United, I expect Bolton to have a tough game.

21,000 With 3-4k from chelsea?

pfft

we dont deserve a prem team with a absolute disgusting crowd that low

these are the champions we are playing

WE NEED 2 POINTS to achieve a big goal

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

Its a bitter pill for everyone to swallow mate but there is nothing more the club can do.

I feel sorry for Hughes and the team....tonight's THE night when the team really needs our fans out in force.

it's an absolute embarrasment!

before any1 whinges about "too dear etc..." that's nonsense, 1 word 'budget.'

in my book, unless you attend most home games, (that's the min requirement)

you cant call yourself a fan.

seen more and more rovers shirts in circulation recently. if half of them attended ewood it'd be full every wk.

Rovers win 1 - 0

In the final few minutes of the game Damien Duff takes off his jersey to reveal the new Rovers kit for next season (bet 24), he turns around and kicks an own goal. During his celebration he kisses the BRFC badge and points to the fans! A post match report reveals that Duff has signed a 2 year contract with the Rovers and claims that Blackburn "will always be [his] home". With that victory over the champions Blackburn retain 6th position and go on to win their final match securing their UEFA cup hope

Attendance: 30k

Here we go again... I'm a better fan than you are!!! my dads bigger than yours!!!

[roversWASmylife]

The attendance doesn't surprise me.

It's boring, going round and round in circles talking about it. People don't come, so be it. But they're missing out on some very good football.

[Lee]

Well considering we were told tickets for Rovers fans would NOT be sold on the day at Charlton AND THEY WERE, not sure if I believe what Lee tells us anymore 

404055[/snapback]

Charlton left us in the daft position of telling us they had sold out so didn't want us to advertise that there would be tickets available on the day for fear of Charlton fans buying tickets in the Rovers end.

Charlton certainly didn't appear to have sold out, either that or they all left when Curbs made the announcement before the game.

Small queue at the ticket office when I was there buying five tickets for tonight earlier...

[Oklahoma]

If any of you wants some bad words in portuguese to use against Mourinho, just tell me.

I would love to be in this match. I'm confident we'll win.

Ãnd tonight I'll watch the game surrounded by some "Chelsea fans" wearing my Rovers shirt proudly.

[frosty]

Oh yeah, went to Brockhall yesterday and Hughes made Gallagher stay behind after training and practice crosses. Right midfield tonight?

[Hughesy]

I would of thought that Bentley or Emerton would go on the right before Gally?

Unless Hughes has taken note of what he did at Stoke?

I thought he played on the left wing for Stoke in most games. Still managed to be their top scorer though!

They're not"missing out on some very good football"

They will all be watching the match, either in the pub or at home.

could replace reidy on the right, he'll be RB if nelson fails. gally did play on the right when he first came into the team and got a decent crosses in. charlton @ home i think.... ?

I'm a season ticket holder but cant attend this match cause I have a massive 3 hour exam on thursday and need to revise my ass off for it. Does that make me a bad fan? Some things come first you know.

[Hughesy]

Just put 2 bets on

Bellamy 1st goalscorer 2-1 (45/1)

Bellamy 1st goalscorer 3-2 (145/1)

Fingers crossed
