[Archived] Blackburn 3-2 Dingles

[Gav]

I'd prefer to have an away end full of Wovers at t'Turf and a full house.

But then we're not terrified of losing.

Oy trumpet polisher you talking about gates again……

Expectation in burnley is at fever pitch, seems very much like you’re all setting yourselves up for a mighty fall, we’ll just continue to go about or business quietly and see what happens

Do Sky make up for any empty seats at a live match or not? Serious question.

[RIML]

I've just started doing some research into this game, looking at our Premier League home games in particular and since Sam took over as manager, we have only lost twice at home, firstly against Aston Villa, secondly Man City, both 2-0 losses. Pretty impressive home form under Sam, Won 7, Drawn 6, Lost 2, Scoring 22, Conceding 12

Please feel free to have a look yourself, I'm hoping my stats are correct

Of course you aren't. The fear is in the unknown.

I have to agree with (part of) what Samantha said... seeing all those empty seats in the DE will just look ridiculous and people who have been told about how passionate the derby is will think nobody bothered turning up! Now I know we shouldn't care about what fans of other clubs think but from all the derby's around the UK how many clubs have such stupid rules about ticketing and half a stand of segregation??!

The Darwen End lower will just have people scattered around here and there, unless just over 1,000 seats are available to sit in and the rest netted off.

02g, I have no doubt with over a week to go we could shift a few more tickets in the DE - there are literally about 3 seats left in the JW stand!

It isn't impossible to go to the game- just getting expensive.

Either by the lunch and corporate seats package or a Darwen End season ticket.

Get the Season Ticket - that way if you're ever over again you won't have to shell out for a match ticket

[Stuart]

was it not already at the time we played Chesea anyway - glad I wasn't in the ground at the point.

Strange, for the best part of 1/2 century when we have met they have been the underdogs

Wasn't it in Corrie a few years ago that had the bedroom scene of somebody that had the Rovers away shirt on the wall.

Isn't one of the writers/producers a Rovers fan?

Roy, Hayley and drunken Rover see off a Dingle in t'Hordens...

They give us £250,000 even if empty or full........or as is our game against Burnley. about 28.000.

The wife is watching some Dawn Porter programme on polygamy and our polygamic friends from down the M65 instantly sprang to mind, no matter how many fingers they have! She didnt have to go to Arizona to film it FFS!

The one thing this derby lacks is an iconic name- like the Old Firm and El Classico

Suggestions?

[Steve Moss]

No, just biting my tongue...

Repression is not good for your mental, emotional or physical health. So feel free to spill the beans.

No. You`re used to it

Not often I agree with a Dingle but.......

[waggy]

Perhaps if the allocation they gave us at the turd wasn't so pathetic they would have got more too...

we get the same as any other team,i agree looking at empty seats is pathetic

[4ever&ever]

:rover:i agree looking at empty seats is pathetic

Lol, don't think you are the right person to be complaining about empty seats pal.

[Hasta]

They get the same as most other clubs too, including local rivals Bolton.
