Easy win for Rovers.

Bolton have lost 3 key players in last week for season due to injury.

You always predict an easy win - I think just to raise a few hopes so that you can go out and smash Bowyer to pieces if we don't win.

We've been in this league for 3 years and I've rarely seen a comfortable win for a side, be it Rovers beating someone, or someone beating Rovers.

Easy win is simply b*llocks

The days when this fixture attracted 30,000 in the Third division seems light years away. I would stand at the bus stop in Tockholes enduring thousands of V-signs and insults from the the endless stream of cars coming over via Belmont. They'd be parked half way up to the Black Bull. Great atmosphere's though, win or lose.

3-1

Waddington, Napier, Goodwin

30k for a 3rd division game? Are you really sure about that? I will try to dig out my old records book from the late 80's to check that old timers fable

Unless you want to add nearly to that statement?

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

I think he means the Bolton Promotion game at Ewood in the late 70's.

The gate at Ewood that night was some 27,000.....20,000+ were from Bolton.

Over 30000 - at Bolton though. A night match.

Isn't that the one where we won 1-0 with a 'Faz' goal.

Terrific atmosphere but bit of a backs against the wall job.

Looking through my BR book of stats, is this the game on 22nd Jan, 77, away, crowd 29,643, Waddington for Rovers? Beat them at home by same score opening day, Svarc, Parkes, Wagstaffe, in front of a measly 14,330! Happily that probably was the exact crowd!

It gets old doesn't it. I do t see us winning this one. After the lords mayors show and all that. Big deflater after the high of Anfield. It's the Rovers way.

Absolutely, 33k I think it was, night match too. Early 70s darts and @#/? flying around.

Also who is Lenihan?

The latter figure might well be tomorrow nights crowd

[Proudtobeblue&white]

I appreciate the problems with the site, well done to those in control. Sad we have so little to talk about tomorrow's game. Don't care if they bring 3 or 3,000, I want a win for us, and 3-points. GB needs to give us a winning game plan.

Steele back in, no doubt Hanley back in if fit for Baptiste, JR in, up front with Rudy.....tinkerman rules.

Just want us to beat them, end of!

[gumboots]

To be fair, someone has to come in for baptiste as he's not allowed to play

[tomphil]

That man should be Henry.

[Proudtobeblue&white]

That man should be Henry.

But we know the spelling will be Hanley

[gumboots]

That man should be Henry.

Not disputing that but the suggestion was that baptiste would probably be dropped for Hanley. My point was that taking baptiste out would be an enforced change. His replacement is a different matter

My mistake: Nov 8th 1975, 24,430 at home in Div 2

It was only the Div 3 bit I found unlikely

[AggyBlue]

Does anyone know if tickets are on sale up to kick off?

There's nothing on the official site and due to the OTT safety precautions for this game I'm a bit wary of them being available tonight.

If it doesn't say you can't there should not be a problem as long as you're on the database.

The club mentioned at the Fans Forum on Monday that there would be entertainment in the Fan Zone tonight from the Blackburn Youth Zone and also that Sky Sports presenter Tom White would be there.

Cheers.

I phoned the ticket office, they are on sale pre match tonight.

Yes. Terrific night. 33000 for a third division Derby.
