Someone I know got tickets on Monday and was told 20k in total.

somebody posted on Facebook 22k in total today, which would sound about right given JW pretty much sold out and BB upper just opened 

[bigbrandjohn]

By Saturday it could be a whole new ball game with Dunny in charge!!  Anyway I plan watch the game in Hoboken NJ having flown in the night before. NY fans,any thoughts please on venues. Apparently Mulligans is a United bar. 

[blue kiwi]

every bars a utd bar im sure the newyorkblues will be watching somewhere.

Not sure if it makes me smile or want to cry...

Question: would people take a 0-6 beating against MU if it guaranteed Coyle got sacked?

Won't be going. Boycott means boycott. Would have loved to watch Ibrahimovic live before he retires, but it's not meant to be. 

Don't worry - he won't be playing anyway!  Martial, MickyDolentz and Rashvest will be given a run out - Greer and Wesley will think that they're in a scene from the Matrix

Thanks for that. It brought tears to my eyes. The Venkys should feel ashamed of themselves for what they have done to the town of Blackburn not just the football club. It should be a terrible burden for them to carry for the rest of their lives.

I'm sure we all would if it could be guaranteed. We are never going to win the cup anyway so it is no great sacrifice.

[davulsukur]

It's gonna be an absolute thumping. 

 

Mourinho will never have it so easy.

We will get that anyway if not more and ol' smug chops will still be safe as houses come Monday morning.

[arbitro]

Coil will be absolutely loving the build up to this game. With hordes of media descending on Brockhall and Ewood he won't pass up any opportunity to feed his ego by spouting his usual diatribe when there is a microphone in sight.

He will view this as a win/win situation for him. We are expected to lose anyway so defeat won't create too many ripples. Winning would send his gob into overdrive and he can dine out on that for the rest of his life. Just like one of his predecessors whose name escapes me at the moment.

We could lose 16-0 and still it would not be enough to see Coyle sacked.

I'd love to win it - however if we are to lose let's get battered 

[USABlue]

It's going to be a crawl under a rock type of embarrassment.  Sad to think not that long ago we went toe to toe with better Utd teams than this one.  An absolute pasting, perhaps 7-1 will get Coil the boot just like it did Sam.

He won't get the bullet even if it finished 10 nil. Coyle will state the ref shafted us again keeping him at the club for the duration of his contract 

[Wing Wizard Windy Miller]

First chant on Saturday should be: Why the **** are you still here?

I think we'll lose 2-1.

Because that's the worst possible result.

[NinjaTattoo]

Im going for 2-1 defeat also and Coil to spew crap how close we come and we are turning a corner... all these corners Im getting dizzy

[Oldgregg86]

1-3 with a 90th minute breakaway goal for united. Cut to coil " the lads gave everything today, we were right in it until the last kick, unlucky at times, decision not gone our way and alot of positives to take to Burton on Friday night. A small minority of the people aren't happy and as long as I have a contract I'm not arsed. "  Interviewer... Would you like to give Phil Jones his man of the match bottle of champagne. 

[broadsword]

8-0

It will be far too easy for man utd

 

 

[philipl]

I really couldn't give a damn.

A rovers v Man U FA Cup tie and I am writing that.

What a totally dismal excuse of a failing football club Blackburn Rovers has become. 

 

[matt83]

Having decided the Venkys won't get a penny out of my pocket you get the usual well it's easy to boycott vs Rotherham let's see what happens if play Man Utd. Well now that scenario has happened I can honestly say my interest in attending this is the same as all the others. Nil.  

Ill be at burton next week but until the Venkys depart whether its a big or a small club in town checking scores will have to do.

Hoping for a low crowd but will see

[neophox]

How will we lineup? I think this team will start:

 

Steele

Lowe, Leninhan, Mulgrew, Williams

Feeney, Guthrie, Evans, Conway/Mahoney

Graham, Emnes

 

Subs: Tomlinson, Nyambe, Brown, Raya, Stokes

 

Joao, Gallagher, Bennett, Akpan, Greer, Hoban, Henley, Ward are all injured, cuptied or banned .... if Evans not fit I expect Lowe in central midfeld and Nyambe at right back...
