What a line-up, the fans are gonna get battered!

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

[pick32]

strongest eleven will probably be

filan

Higgnett Hendry Short May

Gillespie Tugay Kenna Ripley

Dickov Gallacher

wouldnt like to be playing that team, hope some of them still have the legs.

[Tom]

Hignett right back and Kenna in the middle?

Is the team managed by Souness?

[pick32]

Don't no why I put that just switch them two around and I think that will be the legends strongest eleven.

In addition match tickets are now on sale via the rovers ticket office and online at the onerovers website .

It's a very good squad which has been put together by the FPA and with supporter groups also taking the option of boxes too , it promises to be a fantastic event.

[Stuart]

Match tickets priced at £5 for adults and £1 for children will be available from Blackburn Rovers ticket office at the beginning of May.

Why is onerovers online charging £6.50 for adult tickets?

[Baz]

Just booked 2 tickets on onerovers website.

Looking forward to it. Got to be worth £6.50 to see Tugay again.

[Stuart]

I was planning to take a sizeable group and my pocket just got significantly lighter!

[glen9mullan]

Why is onerovers online charging £6.50 for adult tickets?

Sadly with ticketing cost and VAT , plus a stewarding bill , it was recommended that tickets had to go up in price to help cover the overheads.

We have tried to keep cost to a minimum, which has been tough with so much outlay prior to the event.

Just to confirm zero pounds raised will go to the Action Group , we are offering our services of organising the event for free and hope it raises awareness of many organisations who will be part of the event on the night .

It's been particularly pleasing that so many business's have been keen to get involved and have contributed via various sponsorship packages .

Some local groups will also be providing pre match and half time entertainment , whilst various charities are also getting involved to help raise awareness of their work

[Baz]

I presumed it was postage costs?

[Stuart]

Fair enough, thanks Glen.

[bob fleming]

Leam Richardson?

[Baz]

Edit! It's Lee Richardson isn't it?

We did have a Leam Richardson, joined with Burton oBrien a long long time ago, managed Stanley until last week too.

Hardly a legend.

Lee Richardson, fair enough, but again a stretch to be called a legend, although possibly our first £100k+ player.

[bob fleming]

I'm sure I read it was Lee, a good player for us I recall. Back in the day. I remember Leam being a youth team player as well, must say I never say him play for the firsts though and had forgotten he joined with Burton O'brien. A long time ago now Baz as you say.

It's a good line up!

Who are they playing though?! Will they get a kick?!

[Ste B]

Its lee. Think was on bench in play off win. His dad worked in accy about 5 years ago with mine.

Mcnamee joined with bobo.
