Manc Rover Posted October 13, 2009 Posted October 13, 2009 It'll be like middle earth on sunday, all the orcs coming down out of the hills, dragging their knuckles along the ground quietly chanting "you buy one - you get one free, I say you buy one - you get one free" Is that not everyone from Shad?
Ben-2000 Posted October 13, 2009 Posted October 13, 2009 ZERO tickets available on OneRovers, the extra 50 or so put on sale yesterday have all been snapped up. There may still be one or two left in the Family Stand, but you can't view that section on the website.
Steg Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 Fancy driving down from Carlisle now instead of training it. Anyone know any decent places to park by Ewood? Always train'd it down and never paid attention when me Dad has drove down.
Roost Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 Just found this on another site............. Taken from Wikipedia: Andy Potter is the infamous leader of The Suicide Squad, a hooligan group attatched to Burnley FC. Among his many other claims to fame, he is a best selling author. Potter claims that as a child, he would play subbuteo, however, because of a genetic condition, thought to effect around 80,000 of his relatives, he found it difficult to flick the players because of an extra finger on each hand. Instead he preferred to act out crowd disorder, using his toy soldiers. As a youngster, his only ambition was to be hard. He feels he has achieved this, as he is quoted as saying: "I always wanted to be hard. The first time I realised I was hard was when I was stood with a big group of lads, slightly drunk, and very exited. To this day, nothing makes me harder than when I'm around lads." Potter spent several years writing his memoirs, and finally saw his book (Initially titled: sewiside scwad) published in 2007. The book received rave reviews, and was nominated for the Purlitzer Prize for Childrens fiction, eventually losing out to Spot the Dog goes for a walk. Potter is a former soldier and took part in the Falklands conflict. It is claimed that he single handedly saw off the entire Argentinian army, unarmed. His heroics prompted an alteration to the Geneva convention, article 3.42 now stating: "Andrew Porter poses far more threat to the safety and well being of any nation or peoples than any nuclear, biological or chemical weapon, and as such, any use of him in a wartime situation is strictly prohibited." Potter is a multi millionaire having built his fortune from his fashion empire, Stone Ireland. Initially, it was a small operation where his mother/wife would knit jumpers for Porter to sell to his amassed army of 3 billion "Squaddies". The popularity of the clothing was so great he know employs around 3,000 knitters, but manages to keep all business dealings within his family. Despite a threat of legal action from a rival italian company who felt their copyright had been infringed, the knitwear remains popular in Burnley to this day. Potter is best mates with Danny Dyer, who is going to get him into films. Potter is a former 5 time WWF champion. It is reported that Porter once put a rival hooligan into a coma by merely looking at him. Potter is credited with the invention of "The Millwall Brick", after seeing off the entire Millwall treatment off cold blow lane, armed only with a copy of the financial times. Potter's agent and relative, Rocky Mills, is currently in negotiations with Sky TV over pay per view rights for his proposed upcoming handicap cage fight where he and will take on Bill Gardner, Cass Pennant, Andy Nicholls, Bex Bisell and Steve Hickmont Potter is currently subject to a banning order, and cannot attend football matches. In his court case, Porter claimed to have put his past behind him. When faced with his book as evidence, the defence counsel pointed out that no-one in their right mind would take such a blatant work of fiction so seriously. Similarly, Porters appearance on "the real football factories" was scrutinised. Porters lawyer successfully arguing that Porter had been in awe of host Danny Dyer, and had "wanted to impress him".

Steg if you get down early enough you can normally find a few spaces on the Manx man Road, which is up the hill behind the Riverside. Last time I was over we also found a good little spot on the Darwen side of the ground, if you head down the Bolton Road and take left at the flyover (think it's across the road from the Golden Cup pub) and go down that road a bit. Not sure what the story will be on Sunday with the safety regulations, etc.

Not sure what the story will be on Sunday with the safety regulations, etc. There is a free car park up the side of the Aqueduct pub, behind it (not the pub car park), it's intended for walkers on the land over the river. It's only small so you would have to get on early. 2 minutes walk to the BB end. Otherwise come to Lower Darwen, it's only 10-15 minutes walk and a quick way to the M65.,
Big Fat Sam Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 Fancy driving down from Carlisle now instead of training it. Anyone know any decent places to park by Ewood? Always train'd it down and never paid attention when me Dad has drove down. I just park at the services and walk down the hill. Its free you'll also get straight onto the M65, no bloody queue's of traffic on your way out.
iamarover Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 Reading Their board, it seems they are bloody confident, and .... cocky too. And seems they are lining up a stunt, which cannot of course match the (allegedly) Simon Garner-funded Magnificent Man in His Flying Machine. http://boards.footymad.net/forum.php?tno=104&fid=297&sty=2&act=1&mid=2124247271 Am now marooned in Hong Kong having to stay out here for work. And am a wreck. My presentation to 150 bemused Honkers today had the said Flypast as a backdrop in an effort to stimulate Far East enthusiasm for The Game. Come on you Rovers... keep an eye out for the Dingle stunt boys...but let's face it they arent that clever are they? Anyone heard anythin?
Anti-Dingle-Brigade Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 I heard a Dingle claiming his mates were gonna deface Uncle Jacks statue but I doubt it's that because they say the deed "is done".
JC4LAB Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 Heard rumours they are thinking of a 5 point ahead of Rovers tea shirt to Match our 5-O win teashirt..Burnley team with Zak Dingles head on each player remains my Fav..
Cocker Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 I heard a Dingle claiming his mates were gonna deface Uncle Jacks statue but I doubt it's that because they say the deed "is done". To even think that they might do this makes me feel a little sick. Its one thing to make up a tshirt but to do something like that is just horrible. To be fair they shouldn't be aloud anywhere near it and if they do the security will need looking at.

OhmiBRFC Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 My mate just text me saying 'someone on FB has their status as... has Jack Walker statue been painted claret and blue?

Can be seen on longside forum and no doubt many others in the coming hours Sorry not painted as such but none the less covered in claret n blue sh**e

OhmiBRFC Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 Sad to yes! Can be seen on longside forum and no doubt many others in the coming hours Sorry not painted as such but none the less covered in claret n blue sh**e Seen the pictures now, they've showed their faces on it! I hopt the ###### get found out and get their cummupence.
Anti-Dingle-Brigade Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 Yawn. Putting a shirt over the front of a statue, how original and demoralising.
Cocker Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 If they have managed to do that this week (today) and its not an old picture then like I said our security needs looking at. This week of all weeks you would have thought someone would have been watching it
roversmum Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 oh, that is so funny and clever Nice to see they wish Jack was one of them. Bring 'em on.
Ray-Von Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 Didn't some other Burnley fans pull a similar stunt about 12 months ago? The bottom line is they will never come close to pulling off anything as good as the BRFC flying squad stunt.
Anti-Dingle-Brigade Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 Most of the Dingles on SimpleMad sound pretty embarassed. Not surprised, it's not original, not funny and not in the slightest bit outrageous. Boring. Bring on the Dingles.
