[Archived] Blackburn Rovers 0 Bayer Leverkusen 0

[Jan]

I wouldn't be surprised if the kick off time boosted attendances. Not only are the tickets cheap but those with kids don't have to keep them out until - potentially with extra time - well after ten o' clock. While unfortunately some Rovers will miss out it seems that many others will now be able to attend.

My exact point, and indeed the findings of the poll. Guess it is a bit representative after all!!

[blue/white]

Wow, sounds like Ewood will be buzzing Thursday evening. Brillant news, that.

How is the Master doing this week, is he well rested and ready to don his tights & cape?

Has Sparky put Tugay in a Hyperbaric chamber for the past 7 days?

Anyway, in all seriousness-- hope the back 4 & Brad flash the same form as at the Library. It is my opinion that our easiest opportunity to advance comes from keeping a clean sheet, I can't believe i'm writing this: but I wish Moko was available for sweeping up duties.

I assume that it is also half term in Lancashire as it is down here in the south. Maybe that has also boosted the gate with cheap kids tickets etc.

Half term up this way is odd.

It was last week in some areas (like Leyland/Preston etc), I believe Wigan is this week, and god knows about Blackburn!

[Paul]

Chorley did half-term last week. Manchester appears to be this week and I think Blackburn is the same.

Now we need 100% turnout from the ST holders It's going to be a big let down if we aren't there in force.

[SAS]

I guess that was you in front of me in the queue SAS, where you park your scooter?

its not a scooter, it is a motorcycle grrr

i parked it in my usual spot, outside the gate

[vyeo]

Rovers 2

Leverkusen 1

PS: Must we play with the Nike balls? Maybe we should get devious and use those tricky Umbro balls that are used in the FA cup. (anything to give us an advantage!)

[Oklahoma]

ROvers win 2-0, Benni scores both!

[1864roverite]

Rovers to win 1-0 in a close tactical game.

The Germans wont come to win, they dont need to. That means an almost certain 4-5-1 formation which Rovers will have to break down.

An early goal does it from McCarthy

I believe the term is "chicken chaser"

WOW

Just spoken to the ticket office, can't do two tickets togethe in the BBE Lower, or the JW lower, or at the front of the JW Upper. Only 2 togethers with restricted views in the Riverside.

Darwen End Lower being opened for Rovers fans as unreserved seating - so anyone who needs one on the day may want to bear this in mind.

THIS IS GREAT NEWS FOR THE CLUB AND NO LESS THAN THEY DESERVE!

[Presty On Tour]

a big crowd is excellent news.

with all the talk of the kick off time and it being on the box as usual, this is a happy turn up for the books.

a real european night at ewood, happy days!!!

[ABBEY]

cant belive i cant sit in my seat theres a flaming german towel on it already

[Moppy]

Just realised "The Axe" is banned. Never been so glad to hear of a suspension! Especially good news for a game where we need to be looking forward!

[yorkblues]

i have just moved seats to the darwin end could not get two together in other parts of the ground

[roversyoyo]

So are we saying there is a chance the JW stand will be full?

Nah, dont believe it.

[Ricky]

It could be quite an impressive attendance.

I'm dreading picking my ticket up to be fair. Was hoping they'd send it but think I was about an hour too late buying it yesterday.

[stuwilky]

The online system still has BBE Lower tickets, on the front row.....

Picking tickets up is easy, just queue up at the mobile ticket office next to the shop, give them your card for reference and that is it.

Rovers expecting their biggest UEFA cup attendance.

The previous best was 18888 against Salzburg. So we're looking at 20000+

They are only expecting their biggest Uefa Cup attendance this season.

There's no way Leverkusen will be bringing the kind of numbers Celtic did!

Does anyone know if part of the Darwen End will be available to Rovers fans?

Yeah, that's why I mentioned Salzburg this season.
