[Archived] FA Cup 13/14

[Mike Graham]

I hear that Citeh have formally asked for the Riverside Stand.

Probably too late for this to be considered.

Strange that they don't sell out at home cup games or in europe, yet half of stockport/manchester wants a ticket for Ewood.

Many a time they didn't sell out their 5k allocation in the Prem never mind the whole end, before the billionaires took over. They obviously see this as a cakewalk and a big day out.

Wonder what end Vinjay will be sitting in? Still hard to believe that he could switch allegiances like that.

[K-Hod]

Vinjay, what an absolute helmet.

Vinjay will finish up arguing/fighting with himself.

He was crazy. He was banned from here before I started coming on here but I know him from other sites.

He hated Man Utd, more than he ever loved us.....he despised the Walker Trust as much as anyone else hates the Venky's.

Then coincidentally, around the same time we were going down, he switched to being a Man City fan.

He was just an absolute loon who would constantly have arguments with people and used the word "parochial" in literally every sentence.

Cheers for that. Haha you cant change teams, thats about as low as it gets

Wonder if he will switch back when Jason Lowe scores the winner

[tomphil]

I thought Vinjay slept in the stands at Ewood . Surely you don't mean to tell me his one man protest has bit the dust ?

[MCMC1875]

Anyone want to guess the numbers of Rovers fans and City fans for this game?

Added to that wasn't it he who was alleged to have bypassed Ewood officials to try and get into a meeting? It was the same night I was looking at JW's statue next to a pony-tailed bloke in shorts (winter) who told me no less than 4 times he 'doesn't go on brfcs anymore' (he'd seen my Ellison 24 shirt).

We must be the only club in the whole league who can't sell out for a game of this magnitude. Shows what a sorry state we are in.

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

It's sad but live televised games have always badly hit our home support attendance...always.

No chance IMO most teams wouldn't sell out for it these days

Indeed, especially with it being on TV, and so soon after Xmas.

[FGS5635]

When fans realise owen is doing the commentary there will be a late flurry of ticket sales. fear not people!!!

[CapeTownRover]

i think i would be happy with a 1-0 or 2-1 loss against City. i dont want a draw and a replay at the Etihad, because it could turn into a massacre.

[McClarky]

I'll rephrase, we must be the only team who can't sell half their tickets for a cup game,

local derby against the best team in the country. Doubt anyone can deny that. It's also the only big game we are likely to be involved in all season

[tomphil]

Sunderland v Chelsea cup quarter was it ? the other week only about 20k on. Granted a long way for Chelsea but Sunderland have the support. Wait till we have been festering in this division 5 years more and the place will be rocking for a game like this such will be the hunger for a big match.

[McClarky]

We got about 1/4 of that for a qf last year didn't we. Can't remember how many.
