Hopefully you're close enough to deck one if they get across the netting.

[sambo]

Look how many blocks there are... I think block one starts in the top left and there are 8 (the last one is cut off the pic),

I'm block 9 on Row S, seat 6..... Row S suggests im in the middle and seat 6 at the end of the stand so I will be in the first middle block.

I know I sound stupid, but where is block 18 then?

On row DD though, assuming that's quite far up? However if the block works 1-8 then 9-16, that means I'm in one of the lower blocks?

Sorry for being a pain & thanks!

All the trolls in that section will most probably be premiership bandwagon jumpers, hope you’ll be letting them know this fact

Ridiculous question for most I'm sure but any pubs open around Ewood "early" on the 28th?

I shall be asking a certain landlord on Bolton rd at the Chelsea game.

Unless block one is the bottom left in which case 8 blocks on each level will mean you are second one in at the top.

Aqueduct more than likely will be....not sure about anywhere else - Fox n Hounds maybe too!

[dazmaz]

no idea what block im in as my mate has my ticket but im sat row b seat 23, 24 or 25 (3 of us) and on coach 3. no pub for me before setting off

[brfc_andrewtatt]

block 1, row e, seats 4 to 9.

hopefully this means next to the dingles, not sure which side, and this is surely near the front? unless the dingles have some sort of weird stadium plan and numbering, which would not suprise me. cannot wait!

hopefully there will be plenty of "where were you when you were sh*t" chants, and part time supporters etc.

i just pray to god we give up the rubbish copying of the villa "my lord" song. It just makes us look silly IMO.

also hope the "hands up, dingles hands up" song comes back!

Hopefully not! It implies that they're good now!

It may be poor form copying the song but it was catchy as hell when the Villa fans were singing at Ewood, easily one of the better chants heard at Ewood this season

[Ben-2000]

and "your just a town full of dingles" etc

[chocky]

I really hate that Villa chant to Kumbaya...It's pathetic...

[Wiggy]

Let's hope there's a " You're so sh1t it's unbelievable" chants!

bang on.

i could understand us in the cup at villa away using against them, but when there is 500 or so of us at spurs away, singing "sh*t support my lord" to them,

its cringeworthy.

[braddock]

the villa kumbaya song is the worst football song of all time

didn't know we had been singing it too at away games. how awful.

Don't mind it, especially if you tailored it towards our team

I.E a verse about 1995, 4-4-2 and a tribute John Taylor

[Hughesy]

Why to John Taylor? He died in tragic circumstances, but he isnt the 1st Rovers fan!

I'm in the cricket field end and have been watching home and away for 20 odd years, so no we are not all new fans. Many exchanged their season tickets to that stand once they split it and opened it up for us. Quite a large number are those that used to stand on the longside and are ones that generate atmosphere.

Most of the newer fans are scattered about and mainly in the lower tiers of the new stands.

With regards to the seating plan.

I'm not too sure myself how it is worked, but I think block 1 is the front left hand corner has you look at it. The stand goes back about 50 rows using the alphabet and then half way up changes to AA, BB, CC etc. Seat number 1 starts on the left hand side has you look at the stand from the pitch.

To be near the home fans you would need to have seat numbers 75 or above. Very little seggregation. I would say about 400 seats from top to bottom and with 50 seats from top to bottom it leaves about 8 seats in-between us and you. You can have a chat with us

[Hughesy]

Perhaps you like talking to wooden seats!?

I would get more sense out of one than many of your lot

You've read Hughesy's work before then.

But not as much as you get out of your sister each night, you dirty little dingle fook!

The case rests, your Honour.
