SIMON GARNERS 194 Posted March 24, 2018 Posted March 24, 2018 This season is going down to the final day of the season with promotion places I feel. Put the Coach load of Oxford fans in the top tier of Darwen End and let's have cheap tickets across the board....20k + a rocking Ewood and a day to remember. Over to you Rovers......

Yes well just because its how you feel hopefully isn't how it turns out! Sooner Rovers are promoted the better. Of course if Rovers have been promoted by then there probably will be a bigger crowd than usual. Still lower than the season average crowds in the EPL though.

Can you see Rovers being 6 points clear of either Wigan or Shrewsbury before we play Charlton in the penultimate game of the season? I can't.

I can't. Maybe not but the tone of the post felt wrong to me. I don't want it to go to the final day and neither do I care where promotion may be sealed. As long as it is. 6 points ahead of Wigan certainly not. 6 points ahead of Shrewsbury...possibly. Anyway I've made my painstaking analytical predictions (promotion thread) on the remaining games so work out from that where I feel promotion might be sealed.

I'll be quite happy to drop my kecks in the proverbial 'Burtons Window' if we're home and hosed before we play Oxford.

I'm not saying it will be easy (even under Dalglish the club had to make things more difficult than they should have been) but one or two games before isn't inconceivable.

There is one in burnley though (I've just looked it up). With a bit of luck we'll be up by then and you can nip over there! That'll teach em.

If it was easy the club would be running away with the League regardless. If it was easy Vinjay they'd all be winning it.

There's still one in Sarlat bob, not that I think I'll be unbuckling my belt!
Rover_Shaun Posted March 24, 2018 Posted March 24, 2018 I wish we were all level on games and playing at the same time. I'm sure Burton's would not want anything that offensive in their window.
tomphil Posted March 24, 2018 Posted March 24, 2018 Well it would surely have been another 16k plus v Bradford on Good Friday even at top whack and if it was TV. Now a large gonad has been dropped after moving it with Burnley at home the same night and it shows the Police run Rovers games to their own tune surely they should have insisted it get put back to Good Friday regardless on TV to avoid a fixture clash ???? Pointless going on about crowds really when the super power that virtually runs the game continually ruins crowds for all but the biggest Prem clubs.
Mattyblue Posted March 25, 2018 Posted March 25, 2018 Amazing how the long established precedent from the police that Rovers and Burnley don’t play at home at the same time goes out the window when Sky are involved...
Mattyblue Posted March 25, 2018 Posted March 25, 2018 So, the whole thing’s a bit of a nonsense really then. I’m just narked that a chance of a decent Good Friday gate has gone, plus another bloody Thursday night game to come!

Burnley play away on Saturday.

Makes you wonder what role the Lancashire Police or 'Safety Advisory Group' would play in such a suggestion. Imagine they wouldn't be too keen on 4,000+ Rovers travelling down the motorways to MK. Not too bothered about the club not offering free travel myself. It would have been a nice gesture but I think its more important that they try to fill up Ewood and engage drifting supporters at home and improve the atmosphere there. Charging £22+ a ticket for live TV games on a Thursday night isn't the way to go about doing that.
Mattyblue Posted March 29, 2018 Posted March 29, 2018 Totally agree, I’d prefer both, with Ewood as a priority. In reality we’ll see neither (unexpected Oxford game offer aside).

Keep up Matty lad. Shame on the club for patronising the fans with the 'amazing support' comments all season and then not rewarding them with free away travel for just 1 game (like Shrews have done).
Mattyblue Posted March 29, 2018 Posted March 29, 2018 Obviously the purse strings are being kept very tight these days, but surely there has to be some wiggle room. Promotion seasons (at any level) haven't come around that often for us, they are such a a great chance to re-engage with supporters, but the present club seems to have a tin ear to the possibilities.
