My team would be:

                            Flowers

              Price Berg Hendry Le Saux

             Ripley Sherwood Tugay Wilcox

                      Garner Shearer

That side would hammer any burnley side that has ever had the good fortune to grace the Ewood Park pitch

Come on you Super Blues.

All you need is Duff (Dah, dah, derr derr derrrrr)

Rumour has it Chaddy, our mascot and Andrew evans are having a private meet up with the Suicide squad. It's gunna be a tasty one. 3v3. 

Do the 'Suicide Squad' still exist? It's 2017 ffs....absolute wands the lot of them.

[K-Hod]

Ha, I doubt it. You often see some whoppers online signing stuff off with 'SU'. If only they were true to their name......

[Wing Wizard Windy Miller]

They weren't around when Hannover turned up!

[tomphil]

Made their name frightening Saturday afternoon women, children and oap shoppers on Scarborough market by going on the rampage out of the ground during the game because they were getting thrashed !

Brave stuff that 

[kokkini]

Anybody know how many tickets have sold?

[OJRovers]

Not the right thread I know, but saw this bit of wisdom from Steve Kean about their match the other day. He's still talking rubbish:

DPMM FC head coach Steve Kean has highlighted that it was their game plan to let Home United FC exert control in the manner that they did during the 3-1 loss in the quarter-final second leg tie of the Singapore Cup at the Bishan Stadium in Singapore on Wednesday.

 Nothing compared to a proper firm.

I knew someone who was in the young suicide squad, though. Nasty sods them, and one very tragic incident (death of a Forest fan).

Gav might be picking Flowers for the social side of his team. Brad is a dullard, whereas Flowers is a character

Does anyone know if the Thwaites Theatre car park will be open for tonight's match? It wasn't for the Doncaster game.

Damned. You've put me off going.

Being a Rovers fan from Burnley I would absolutely love it if we beat them tonight, I've been around Burnley fans all my life and even if I wasn't a Rovers fan I'd still hate them, some of the most arrogant deluded football supporters in the country. COME ON ROVERS!!!!

This man needs a place on the bench for tonight.

A 5 minute cameo is all he needs........

Looking at the interactive map this morning, would say around 14,500 home tickets and 5000 away so around 19,500. Maybe a few more if they've shifted a few today.

There was a decent queue when I went for Scunthorpe tickets this morning ticket office said about 20 thousand so far, no excuse not to go as were playing the dingles.

Even an excuse for a few pints in the golden cup before hand whilst seeing the dingles carted in on 19th century buses

Do you actually have to have a physical ticket these days?

I would have thought that with the scanning system that's been around for donkey's years already that you'd only need the barcode and could buy online and save on a phone. Or maybe I'm making too much sense?

The majority of that lot weren't even football fans just general town scum who go nowhere near their games but ambush visiting fans at various points. Tossers.

Anyway they've got more than their fair share of plastics these days who won't have seen them lose to Rovers, hopefully tonight's a new experience for em !

20k would be a bloody good effort if true.   

[rhodie]

Just hope TM isn`t wanting to forfeit the game with an extra diluted squad in favour of the league, really don`t want a thrashing from the Dingles, especially living this side.

It would but I think it's off the mark and 16/17 will be closer, still not that bad. Small town derby at the end of the day and without the gloss of the 'big league'.

 

[Blue blood]

First game at Ewood in a long, long time and the butterflies are already kicking in. Was in St Annes today and people were discussing the game. This is THE Lancashire Derby and matters loads.

Have few expectations for today. Will be annoyed if the players don't work their gonads off, or TM fields a weakened team. If there's plenty of fight I'll be happy - a win and I'll be ecstatic.

[Mattyblue]

20k is higher than some of our recent league crowds with them.

Would be a very good effort considering a fair few ST holders won't be attending...
