AllRoverAsia Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 It's a strange world we live in where the reality is we all do want Rovers to win and the gate to be good but it's all clouded by the the virus at Ewood.
T.J.Newton Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 Im thinking along the lines of if we win then great ill have seen a good game so will go home with a bit of a smile on(although ill prob feel very dirty afterwards)/but if we lose also great more pressure on Scumbo Kean(and a test of Shebbys word) so id still go home with more of a grin on. just had another look at what seats are left for hull and i think my guess in the last post was way of as the Jackwalker stand looks even more like a ghost town than usual, my initial guess was just based on how many seats where left in the riverside where im sitting(only £15).
Rover_Shaun Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 20,530....our first home gate v Port Vale in this Division after being relegated in '99 The sad thing is a low attendance come Wednesday and our supporters will be labelled pathetic part timers by both the gloating media and opposition fans alike...you just know whats coming folks! Maybe,just maybe they will see the truth and the real reason for the bad crowd behind all the lies for once...... I don't really give a stuff what the media and some moronic opposition fan thinks. I left all that behind when I left school. Wednesday night will be spent in the local that has no tv but bloody good real ale for £2.20 a pint. Venky Rovers may just creep in as my fourteenth thought
Josh Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 Is this game on TV? It isn't. I thought it would be because it's the only game on Wednesday
Sparky Marky Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 It isn't. I thought it would be because it's the only game on Wednesday If there was a few games in telly, no fecker would turn up....
T.J.Newton Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 Is this game on TV? 7.45pm kick-off (I think).
T.J.Newton Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 are any of the steadfast non-season ticket renewers going down to make their presence felt outside or just going to sit at home sulking(only messin ).
Mike Graham Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 are any of the steadfast non-season ticket renewers going down to make their presence felt outside or just going to sit at home sulking(only messin ). No, stopping at home decorating. Far more enjoyable than Coco fare! hope there is less than 10,000 There were plenty of punters (nuggets perhaps.....only joking) queueing to get tickets in the Club Shoppee today which surprised me.

Who Queues for tickets to anything, some people in this town are so hillbilly.
T.J.Newton Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 Seriously though, Boycotting might put a chink in venkys finances(not that they seem to care), But from Kean point of view im sure hes delighted their will be 1000s less calling him out, Surely it would be better to go and put constant pressure on him and let him know/that we know hes a complete Imbecile than stay home 'decorating' or whatever.
Parsonblue Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 i think their will be closer to 15,000(depending on how many season ticket holders bother going down!), i booked a ticket online last night and it looked over a third full and i think their will be more buying tickets up until kickoff(ticket prices are quite low for this 1), main reason i have decided to go is just out of some-kind of perverse curiosity. I don't think it matters if season ticket holders go or not, for attendance purposes I think once you have bought a season ticket you are counted in every attendance. If we have sold just over 8,000 season tickets that will always be the minimum attendance even if none show up. Bizzare I know but the majority of clubs count attendances based on tickets sold rather than who goes through the turnstile. I remember the Rovers changing to this system sometime in the 1980s as I seem to recall reading an article in the programme about it at that time. Personally, I suspect the attendance will be between 10,000 and 13,000 depending on how many travel from Hull. I expect a larger gate on Saturday as I suspect Leicester will bring a decent following.
tonyoz Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 First home game in 50 years that I can go to, but wont. It will be a strange feeling on Weds night. Sad day den
allanncd Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 Ipswich was a reality check as to just how poor this team/squad actually is. The full backs are dire and though L;owe is a trier there is no hiding he is a modestly talented, right-footed midfielder playing at left back. Bradley Orr is a big girl's blouse. The centre backs are ok at defending the box but can't pass water. Midfield has no movement and no pace other than Marcus O who has little football ability. This is a worse team that the one Kidd managed to the bottom six of this league before being sacked.

This is a worse team that the one Kidd managed to the bottom six of this league before being sacked. I think that there are players in this squad who (when fit or willing/able to play) would storm this league with a different manager. We have Rochina, Formica, Simon who do have something about them, Murphy, Etuhu, Kazim Richards and Best who are decent, even Goodwillie can find the back of the net despite looking like his feet are desperate to move towards opposite poles. The centre backs are decent, the keeper is ok and should we cling onto him, Ollson is effective. Let's see how we go on on Wed, if we win great, if we lose then either Shebby or Kean will be a stride closer to leaving.
he6rt6gr6m Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 Any more on this "chant and your out" rule then? No doubt with Kean's footballing knowledge, the most interesting thing to watch will be the stewards vs. the fans, if this is put in place.
FourLaneBlue Posted August 21, 2012 Posted August 21, 2012 To sit back and attempt to contain a poor Ipswich side and defend a one goal lead is a disgrace. Allardyce was fired for such tactics. No, he wasn't.
patrickvalery Posted August 21, 2012 Posted August 21, 2012 No, he wasn't. Well, OK, if you exclude all the skullduggery, it was alluded to that Allardyce got canned because of his style of football. One part of that was nicking a goal and going all out to defend that lead. It wasn't until we were safe in 2010 that Big Sam ever let the side of the leash. Anyway, this is getting dangerously close to stirring up another Allardyce debate. My point was that Kean shouldn't have had us defending a one goal lead against Ipswich. Inexcusable. With the budget we seem to have, we should have a squad strong enough of playing on the front foot against any side in this league.
Gav Posted August 21, 2012 Posted August 21, 2012 are any of the steadfast non-season ticket renewers going down to make their presence felt outside or just going to sit at home sulking(only messin ). Not a chance, been there done that, sadly not enough people cared when plunging towards relegation last season, so why should people care this season enough to protest outside. If I had any faith in my fellow supporters I'd be down like a shot to hammer the regime and manager, but we have far to many 'Rovers Fans' who are content to **** on week in week out. The gate will be the most interesting part of the evening, I think 12k, but would love to see under 10k, that would send out a clear message to all concerned, but would the club tell the whole story when announcing the gate if it was under 10k?
SAS Posted August 21, 2012 Posted August 21, 2012 are any of the steadfast non-season ticket renewers going down to make their presence felt outside or just going to sit at home sulking(only messin ). Nope, be out on my bike doing something more worthwhile listening on the radio. It WILL hurt not being there.
bennyboyt11 Posted August 21, 2012 Posted August 21, 2012 Considering this game isn't on TV, would it be alright if links to streams were posted on here? I imagine there will be streams so I just want to check before I post one...
sharpysharps Posted August 21, 2012 Posted August 21, 2012 Going for a draw in this one. Same drill as Saturday, I reckon we'll go in front but Hull will peg us back in the 2nd half after a chunk of pressure....and may even nick it in the end.
AggyBlue Posted August 21, 2012 Posted August 21, 2012 Considering this game isn't on TV, would it be alright if links to streams were posted on here? I imagine there will be streams so I just want to check before I post one... Member usually get banned for doing that. Previous seasons they have anyway. I thought some of these gambling sites now had legit streams that you could watch?
