[Archived] Brighton vs. ROVERS Match Thread

[Blue n White Rover]

@BBCLancashire: @Rover1875 Hi, yes we've full commentary and build-up from six. Every Rovers away game will always be a comm, with a few home too.

[the original david brent]

Hello. I've just tweeted radio lancs and they have told me there will be full live commentary of tonights match.

Good stuff. I gladly stand corrected.

I just looked on the schedule on the internet and it only advertised the Preston game. If there are 2 games it usually advertises both.

I did find it a bit strange when you posted that as its unusual for radio lancs not to do commentary on us when we're away. Anyway, there it is.

[PAFELL]

Anybody know if you can buy tickets on the gate tomorrow? Depends on what time I finish work as to whether I will be able to make it.

Phone and ask them I know the are exctng a crowd of about 25,000 gain. I know home tckets are still available. Do not know if they will sell any on the gate for away fans.

Didn't you say earlier that they had a waiting list for season tickets?

[OJRovers]

The internet commentary hardly ever works on my ipad.

Brighton will want to win this to put distance between us. Home advantage might help them but if we can stay solid, frustrate them and nick a goal we could get something out of it.

1-1 (Hanley header from a corner)

By the way, for those going, the stadium doesn't even exist yet. What Google doesn't know cannot be true.

That's quite funny - if you drag & drop the 'little bloke', the street level shots show the ground under construction

[Gav]

Tough game this one tonight, will give us a good idea of how far we have, or haven't come in Appletons short tenure.

A draw would be a good result.

[PAFELL]

Yes. Often some folk don't come mid week matches, due to transport issues. So club have a buy back scheme. ST holder lets club know they can't come. Club resell ticket. Fan gets a percentage back.

Like all clubs they have to have so many match tickets available.

[AggyBlue]

Pound to a penny we get cheated out of this. From what I've seen of Brighton, they push gamesmanship beyond acceptable limits.

I'm hoping for a strong referee.

[nathan_rovers1]

REALLY looking forward to this, first game in a while.

Anyone know how many tickets we've sold?

Where is the best place to drink before hand?

[Plastics]

Nope, don't think so. We always get the 'licensing issues' here in Australia. Can't get Radio Rovers/Rovers Player either.

Uh oh, a friend of mine, and poster on this board has just moved to Oz for 6 months and was going to be staying up to listen to the commentary on Rovers player. Will he not be able to?

In the ground. Or brighton or lewes - but it is then a nightmare to get back on the train again.

Really, You haven't seen much of them then. Apart from the match at ewood recently, not heard about any other match where tackles etc were questioned.

[greggyk]

Brighton are known (from Championship regulars) of being a dirty side... Mind you, 'Black-eyed Rovers' was a great time for us..

In my experience of living abroad, you are unable to access any sort of UK based 'iplayer' at all.

Also licensing regs don't permit live radio commentaries over the net in any event.

Whilst in the prem, there were ways round it, but not now to my knowledge.

I ain't particularly a techie, so would be chuffed if someone has found the means to listen or watch live whilst abroad and are prepared to share their knowledge. Looking at how often the questions asked, I guess so would one or two others.

Heard rovers only took two coaches down. Not surprising really. Long way on a night match. The London Branch of rovers supporters will probable be there. Plus one or two from local sussex area. I am leaving home 4.30 to get there.

I'm sure there are ways round it using a proxy server as I've watched Iplayer in Greece on a mates PC.

[The Rover of Finland]

A draw would be nice but not the traditional last minute goal way.

Thanks Maj I presume that was from their home? i was really wondering if there was an IPad or laptop solution accessible via standard wifi.

I live in Perth, Australia and signed upto Rovers Player due to the @#/? coverage on Foxtel. Can confirm Rovers player worka fine but accessing any UK radio broadcasts has been all but impossible.
