[Archived] Season Tickets 09/10

[Hughesy]

I blame the Walker Trust. If they'd put more money in and enabled us to get a better manager than Allardyce then we'd have reaped more money back and thus been able to offer season tickets at just £99.

Some people!!

Bargain price. I still cant believe its only £199.

We need everyone to get people interested and get them down to ewood. I sent a text out to all my mates this morning - as a breaking news style text to make sure they all knew about the deal and therefore hoping it would spread the word around our support quicker.

[riverside returns]

Spread the word, fill the ground and lets have a stonking season.

[Claytons Left Boot]

How many S/T holders do we have currently?.

Is it around 12,000?

Pretty sure it's 15.5k - should get up to 20k now, which is on a par with sales the season after the title was won.

Happy days.

[tonyoz]

Amazing!

I'm even tempted to buy one myself at that price!

Tempted? Just do it......

[LDRover]

From someone who is getting an ST for his wife and two kids for the first time this is fantastic news.

Well done to all concerned at the club.

[Mattyblue]

Brilliant, awesome etc etc!!!

My point is, all this about the 'people of Blackburn' need to get behind this, Blackburn must have one of the highest uptakes of season ticket holders in any town across the country for its size as it is.

We need to spread the word EVERYWHERE, everyone on the database needs a pack sent to them, leaflet every house in Lancashire, areas with no real football club presence, get them informed, this is a chance to build up the club for generations, something that we know can never be done in just Blackburn and the surrounds.

We do. Look at Big Club - to oversimplify it massively they have half of a city of a million people and their attendence is as bad as ours (hopefully we can change that to "bad as ours used to be").

They do. Having let my season ticket lapse I got a pack at the start of the season and a letter towards the deadline. If you renew straight away you don't see it but the club works quite hard to get the waverers. One of their better ones was (a year or 2 ago) was a recorded mobile message from Mark Hughes ending in an Ewood roar.

[Hughesy]

That’s your job too – not just the clubs. Everyone needs to spread the word.

Whilst we have a decent following considering the size of BwD, it can still be improved. There are many who have given up their season tickets in the last few years – its time to get them back, + any new ones we can.

[BlueWhiteDynamite]

its great that my season ticket will cost no more than 199, but im still hoping for a student offer.

Its great that it outshines boltons season tickets, however they have a fantastic offer, by extending the junior ticket to u18's, and a reduction for students to 189, as ive said before people of this age range are the future and theyve recognised that. Here's hoping JW and the board have recognised this aswell.

[BobbyShafto_BRFC]

Wow.. I cant believe how good a deal this is!!!

There's no excuses from the stay away fans that its too dear to go now.

I expected a good deal but this is just marvelous!!! Well done Rovers

[Ossydave]

Had numerous texts this morning off lads I know who have never had ST's before, but are getting one for next season after seeing these prices.

Good times.

It's not going to do a lot of good down here. I know precisely 2 Rovers supporters who don't already have season tickets.

[philipl]

I think last season ended up at just under 15,000 and this season was heading towards 14,500 ST holders.

[OhmiBRFC]

I said a considerable few month ago that I was going to get a S/T again after losing interest in football (amongst other things) and there's no way I can justify not getting one at them prices. Espcially as it will be my last one before going to Uni.

Rovers 'til I die...

[Sir Ranulf Westwood]

When I first got my Rovers season ticket- in 1995

You and every other "Rovers Fan"

[Hughesy]

Good on everyone that gets one that hasnt before or has given up.

The club need to hit the 19-20k season ticket holder mark for it to be a success. Lets show them we can beat that!!

[bob fleming]

You and every other "Rovers Fan"

That's right Ranulf, no one went before '95. A completely empty ground it was at Ewood, apart from a set of idiots who turned once every blue moon to throw asbestos sheeting at each other.

Now then back to the thread...

[A cup of beans]

Hope this means the FAT ***T who sits next to me will pay for 2 seats to satify his ample arse, instead of crushing my legs.

if he's the guy im thinking of... (in the riverside) i usually have to sit next to his kids! thats worse! haha. theyre about 7 years old.. and just mess about.

i wouldnt mind but he sits miles away from em!

BACK TO THE OFFER.... ASTONISHING! everton are the people's club no longer!

[waggy]

Brilliant move by the club. If we manage to get another extra 3000-4000 season ticket holders with this deal, it will be deemed a success.

£200 for Adults in the Blackburn End is brilliant. Will this price apply to students aswell, or do we get it cheaper than that ?

The clubs done it's bit. now it's over to the fans. We must encourage sales in the last game of the season, with the Darwen End Lower being full.

Watching the season review of 1994-95, always puts a smile on my face, however, I always seem to think, where are all them fans gone that we used to have? Maybe now, we'll start to see them again, fingers crossed!

You going to be renewing your ST Waggy

the answer is NO,but i think it's a great move by the club,the only reason i will not be going is that LARDARSE is the manager.the day dawns like the great BRIAN CLOUGH said,"there will come the day that clubs let the fans in for nothing as tv will ruin football otherwise".

[robbo_rovers]

For the Darwen End season ticket, who are the 4 games against that it doesn't include. The instinct would be the 'big 4' but it's hardly as if Chelsea and Arsenal sell loads of tickets anyway. Could it be Man Utd, Liverpool, Man City and Everton?

[Hughesy]

Shame on you Waggy!

It will be United, Liverpool & 2 others (not yet decided and wont be until the fixtures are out).

John Williams will be on Radio Lancs in a little while too.

[LeftWinger]

Superb work by the club. The club (and the fans) need to make sure that people know about the prices now. The individual match prices make it hard not to buy a season ticket.

[tashor]

You and every other "Rovers Fan"

You are welcome to come and join us SRW. I'm sure many from our hinterland will do so at these fantastic prices. THE ISSUE OF "LANCASHIRE ROVERS" WILL BE CONSIGNED TO HISTORY. WELCOME TO ROVERSSHIRE - THE HOME OF THE RED ROSE AND BLACKBURN ROVERS

[waggy]

Shame on you Waggy!

when you have done 40 years at ewood son,i'll take notice
