[Archived] Who Wants To Play At Ewood On Sunday!

[ihateburnley]

Well we finished about 9.30 I think it was, and there was still the final to be played. So about 9.45/10 I would have thought.

We got changed in the Home dressing rooms, and it was slightly strange as the players had been in there only an hour or so previously. I've been in there before on a stadium tour, but yesterday all the white boards were full with tactics and formations. I was actually surprised by the detail in which they go into for corners, freekicks etc. I wish I'd have taken a photo now but basically they had a different white board for attacking corner on the left, attacking corner on the right, defending corners on both sides, free kicks from both sides, defending freekicks from both sides. It showed exactly where each player should be, who they should be marking and what runs they should make.

Just a shame they don't read them whilst they're in there!

It was great but the pitch did turn into a river!

Anyone know if the pics will be put online somewhere?

[pksrover]

Yeah, they should really get a better pitch for next year. The atmosphere was ###### too..

[modes98]

Yeah it was awful. The pitch needs a good rest now, after you guys ripped it up! The crowd was pathetic, i think only about 5 fans managed to make it in, they tried their best with their chants but it just wasn't the same!

Some of us can adapt to different surroundings and prosper under adverse challenges.

You should have seen the 'adverse challenge' that put ihtd out of the game.

Fair play he got put about 6 foot in the air.

[SAS]

id have fnished those three chances i had like a big mac meal if i was fully fit

i hope they can do it next year so i can give it a proper go next time, i was even offered a game at brockhall this week but cant

[modes98]

They ripped up most of the brockhalls pitches SAS. Yearly re-seeding, it looks like a very big beach.

Although they do grow back quickly

[ihateburnley]

OK, I watched you when you were playing a team in red and they absolutely slaughtered you.

Superstars I think not.

They must be but they definately ripped most of them up when we arrived and were continuing on. Academy still had a fair few though.

[herbergeehh]

In all fairness, we did leave Christian a bit exposed at times

Absolutely shocking football all weekend, but at least we scored... two..

First time i'v managed to get onto this MB since the match, my leg is still messed up after that challenge, swelling has gone down but the joint is still very stiff :S Gonna give it another week to heal and then if its not any better by then i think it may be time to get it checked out properly.

Does anyone know if the team photos have been uploaded onto the internet yet?
