[Archived] fans not attending turd moor

[Baz]

Been told today that since the Blues Bar sold out their beam back capacity last night if there is enough interest in the next 24 hours they will consider showing it on a big screen inside the stadium.Anyone else heard this?

No, but its a good idea. On the other hand a bit of a kick in the teeth for those stumping up £36 each to go to the game.

what the hell makes you say that!

even if the game was live on sky it still wouldn't even come close to capturing the atmosphere you'd be missing out on going on in the stadium and £36 is relatively nowt for such a big game(most prem clubs would charge more than £36 just to see a home game).

I dont think my point is unreasonable that some people who have paid 36 quid 4 weeks before christmas would be unhappy to see the game on the tv at ewood for the price of a couple of beers. I could be wrong but i suspect not. Yes they dont get the atmosphere etc, but do have to endure a lot of hassle too.

your right there are going to be many rovers fans in general that aren't really fussed about going to away games regardless of the oppo, but the few thousand that will actually be going to turf moor will be mainly the die hards that wouldn't miss it for anything(and would prob pay double.what they have), if we win(im not to optimistic!) it will be a cherished memory for those rovers fans in attendance for a long long time.

CORRECT

Can't see that happening. It was fairly obvious the Blues Bar would sell quickly. If they were going to show it on the ground/concourse they would have made that decision at the start IMO.

Is it balls . I know where I'd rather be.

The problem is the police buy into this crap. It's only pantomime hate. The towns are ten miles apart, most people work and socialise together without coming to blows. There's a world of difference between the bravado, threats and bull**** of the internet keyboard warriors and the everyday face to face banter you get in the pub and workplace.

Listen to angry short men like Gav spouting off on the web and you'd think it was hate. But it's not, not really. Loads of my mates are b***ards. We'll be back in the same pub on Sunday evening as usual.

Tearing off roofing and throwing it at fans is "pantomime hate" come on Sam you know there is potential for trouble. I remember the head lines from our Boxing day win back in the 70's. "Hooligans mar classic" I lived in Accy which was about half and half so yes we co-existed and had a lot of banter all year long but on the day all bets were off.

I'm not angry in the slightest you jumped up Burnley Kean.

You can play 'Mr holier than thou' all you like, but plenty on here have long memories, we know the stuff you used to come out with.

Thankfully you're over those early steps into manhood, beer is much more familiar to you, so you can handle it better.

Enjoy the derby, and hopefully your usual retreat back under the stone from where you came from.

Kean!

Sam does seem to have matured a little bit, almost reasoned.

Years ago people without their own transport used to walk those sort of distances to and from work every day. Would take a couple of hours - less than the time for the coach trip from Ewood. And much healthier too.

.....& then lick t`road clean with us tungs!

Poeple uses to walk 12-15 miles to work?? Get a grip
