[Archived] Blackburn Rovers v Manchester United

[martmitch]

This match could and most likely will be painful witnessing united celebrating the title on our pitch

If theres anything to grasp at for hope, its the fact that united have only won 5 away from home all season, drawing 9 and losing 4, their average goals conceded away from home is 1.3 per game, compared to 0.5 per game at home

Its a shame its not wrapped up before this game, they will be looking to finish the league off in style im sure

[rog of the rovers]

A point will suit us both!

Lets not forget we have a good home record and a decent record against Man Utd (at Ewood) since we were promoted in 2001.

P 9 W 3 D 4 L 2 F 10 A 10 Pts 13

And Great preview Bob!

That is my big fear - still have the scars from the game against City when they got promoted at Ewood. Wish they had kept us in the DE - and only given them 3/4 of the DE :-)

Still - a match not to be missed - just booked my tickets - COYB

[only2garners]

I ordered an extra ticket for my daughter who is coming home from university for the match and got a letter with the ticket:

Great preview, Bob. It will be an endurance test for fans and players.

That's funny Mum - I ordered three extras ( 2 Rovers and 1 neutral) and I didn't get any sort of warning. I think they've rumbled Mr Roversmum....

Will the Darwen enders be missing for this, the final home game of the season whilst the Blackburn enders cheer and fight their corner against the Mancunian scumbags.

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

Gav - let me clarify. Rovers' support in the main is from a hard pressed economic area and that is why our prices are amongst the lowest around. I actually know supporters who buy season tickets and really struggle to do so. I am not advocating that Rovers' supporters sell 'willy nilly', however, some who are hard pressed financially might just find the temptation too much.

I've been hard up in the past matey but I've never been that hard up. You want to have a serious word with yourself.

[John Howarth]

Individual tickets are now being traded as high as £200.

Difficult to criticise any Rovers supporter who sells as this would virtually buy their season ticket for next season!!!

I've already knocked back no less than four offers.

Will be very difficult to steward / police inside the ground on Saturday.

Just been online and it says there are no tickets left for saturday. Is this the case? Or have they decided to take them off the one rovers website?

[Blackburn Ravers]

even a season ticket holder hasd put his ticket up for sale http://www.gumtree.com/p/for-sale/manchester-united-blackburn-tickets-140511/79293322

Season ticket number 264557 - Mr Micheal Robinson x 2

"Manchester united blackburn tickets this saturday.

tickets are in the home stand but are only two tiers away from the away support.

Ewood park allows you to go right down to the pitch and so should be great when united win the title.

Absolutely disgusting, think ticket office should stop these season tickets and stop the seats from being used for this game and there is more

[chocky]

Well he'll be pleased if the Mancs buying them are ejected and they ban him from the ground for touting his tickets..last season two Mancs sitting behind me..Quiet though..

[allanncd]

The MU are playing I can see 5 goal thrashing to wreck the goal difference and the need to avoid defeat at Wolves as a minimum.

there were quite a lot left earlier today, so maybe they've just taken them off sale.

[yeti-dog]

The most positive thing about Saturday for me is that both teams only need a point...there's an opportunity there for us if we're brave enough to take it...

[roversmum]

Someone on the official site said the tickets he had ordered online had been cancelled as he had no history on the database. Probably all the Mancs are trying to get tickets that way.

[Mercer]

I've been hard up in the past matey but I've never been that hard up. You want to have a serious word with yourself.

TS - unfortunately, it's called reality.

Last time Manure were in town, their supporters had virtually bought the pub where we asometimes go for a pre match drink and we struggled to even get served!!!

It will almost be like a home game for them on Saturday.

[m1st]

Just had a txt this minute from united fan asking if I could get him a tkt ! Il decline and say unable to for obvious reasons! They are up for this game

I had a similar contact from a friend who's a Man Utd fan [in Manchester; not Greater London!] last week; I quoted the official line as per the implications of what's on the club website - felt sure I'd not be sold another - why would I want another ticket when I've got my season ticket? [Why would I want to have fellow-Rovers fans sitting next to Man United fans?]

Having said that, though, I feel a bit "let him who is without sin, cast the first stone" about this issue.

Because;

I once asked a mate who lived in South East London to get 2 tickets for me and another blue-and-white to see the last game of the season in Division 2-really [can't remember what it was called back in the year we came back to the Premiership] at Gillingham. I hadn't a good enough away game record that season to qualify for a ticket with the Rovers' fans and wanted to add Priestfield to the list of grounds where I'd seen us play. From memory, we were standing on an open end and not in the faces of any Gillingham fans; and we did nothing to upset anybody so I don't feel so bad about it.

I'd be surprised if I was the only one of us to have done anything like that.

Looks like this final home game has begun to show up the cracks amongst the Rovers support and who can blame them!

What do we all know that Roque Santa Cruz isnt worth ten bob and that Stephen Kean isnt a premier league manager, maybe now the club must go it alone without our support and prove that they were right and we was wrong.

Outstanding. I hope they are all fit, fired up and ready to take the battle to ManU. I just hope enough supporters show up, resisting the urge to sell to ManU supporters at inflated prices.

[old darwen blue]

Darwen End season ticket holder me, paid £26 for my ticket in the Jack Walker. Wouldnt sell it for anything to a rag fan.

End of.

[Bobby G]

How can someone sell out their support in a match that could define the next chapter of our history?

Huge game.

Its clear we need at least 1 more point to survive. God, I hope we get it. We need to be clinical.

[broadsword]

I really hope we don't end up with a replay of what happened vs Man City 11 years ago.

[Jackson]

I'm sorry this is way out of order.

Some things are sacred. How people's consciences can allow them to even think of selling their tickets to Manc scum, traitors of the highest order. Just remember those loyal supporters of YOUR club who WILL be there and consider how it will feel for them. Disgusted and disappointed.

Yes, Burn him!

[Ralfinho]

I am friends with Leigh Monaghan, I have told him not to sell them as he will get banned for life. Ive b0llocked him
