Aye bet he liked tennis balls... Dan the t*** wasn't it? Name and shame!

[RevidgeBlue]

Good effort with the tennis balls from outside the corner of the Riverside, unfortunately only a couple reached the pitch.

As for the game, not much between the sides in terms of general play apart from the fact we got the two goals. Good ball in from Lowe to Gallagher (shock horror) for the first, and an absolute screamer out of nowhere from Bennett for the second. Other than that he's been completely anonymous.

Terrible keeping from Steele for the disallowed goal. Lenihan very sloppy with his distribution from the back.

Sat near Bowyer who is clapping furiously like a seal every time the slightest promising thing happens for them. I find it impossible to dislike the guy albeit he isn't the real deal as a manager.

600 tops of Bfc fans!

Each lower aisle is circa 125 seats

If you think half of the whole stands holds 4000, that's more that 1/4 of the left hand side full.

Half the bottom tier holds 2500. There's clearly more than half of that section occupied.

thats a decent effort from blackpool fans there seemed more blackpool fans on the march than rovers fans,such a pity we do not care.

[AllRoverAsia]

Why stick the Pool fans there they look quite lonely. So many empty seats.

[blue kiwi]

Come on precious, don't be like that. I was just asking a few questions. Are they too difficult?

Living at the opposite end of the country, I've done my fair share to support the protest movement.

Over to you.

What a disgrace

Laughing all the way to the bank

[perthblue02]

Burton 2-0 up

[tomphil]

Sorry doubters but there is definitely over 1500k Blackpool fans in there i can't believe anyone would question that. Rest of the crowd is bull looking at the pics.

There seemed to be a fair number of people turning up buying tickets. Disappointing turn out for protest but about 1000 sounds about right. Just on way home now

Thought the turnout was decent Gumboots. Fair play to the tangerines who turned up. Good bunch. Weather wasn't great!

Great

Accy holding Boro away and Oxford beating Newcastle; Spurs pulled one back v Wycombe

[AggyBlue]

Mellor sent off for 'pool

[G Somerset Rover]

Burton winning is very bad news for us. Looking more and more nailed on for relegation.

Surely Mahoney should get a run today?

89 minute sub

[RevidgeBlue]

Bowyer made 3 unforced changes by the 61st minute before the sending off so if they pick up an injury they'll be down to 9.

[West Yorks Rover]

QPR get one back against Burton 1-2

[dingles staying down 4ever]

Simon Eastwood just saved a penalty. He loves the FA cup. Is Steele better?

[Tom]

Get Mahoney on, 2-0 up vs a 10 man league two side

I'm always disappointed when people don't join protests! I really wanted to shake people going into the ground and ask them why they weren't protesting. Of course I didn't but it just baffles me. Turnout wasn't poor, just disappointing.
