Not on a weekday

In some ways the pressure is actually off us. We know we need to win, but we are in a position where we are probably going to go up either way soon enough. I can see a good performance this evening 

You could be right. I'd be shocked if we don't go up now but just hoping it's tonight 

[Vinjay]

Ferguson "lite" determined not to see anyone else celebrating promotion in Doncaster. Seems to forget there's not much they can do about it when there's other teams involved. Like his Dad found out 23 years ago even a loss won't temper any celebration if the ultimate endgame is achieved. With Peterborough United being more disappointed than most not to take anything from Ewood perhaps that will inspire them even more towards getting a result tonight. Then again with the playoffs still possible maybe that's all the inspiration they need.

Come on Rovers get the win you and the travelling fans deserve tonight....me and quite a few other lads at work in Burnley will be glued to the radio.

We're Blackburn Rovers...we're on our way back!

Passed Ewood half hour back good to see a few out wearing Rovers shirt.

Setting off at 3. Massive day.

3-1 Armstrong with 2 and Bradley finishing it off in injury time. 

Finish work in an hour and a half, pick the kids up, home, dinner, lager, shouting at the radio, more lager, cheering, champagne, sleep, hangover. 

Choose life, Choose Rovers

Pre-match dread is starting to settle into my stomach now. Made a hoop of myself last time. I was absolutley useless all day on Friday having stayed up to watch the match against Posh. Think I'll have a bit of cop on about it tonight and sleep for a few hours before the kick off. That usually sees me right.

Oh and best wishes to all the travelling support! I hope this is your big party night! Been phenomenal all season. Hope the players give you something to really sing about it. Cheers!

It's 2:15 - are we at least sneaking a win yet?

Remember, wet grass can be slippery!

Shrewsbury turning into a busted flush has has really helped calm my nerves 

[superniko]

Few beers in Leeds for me 5pm-6pm then the train at 6:15. 

Don't think there are many places for a drink in Doncaster, where will everyone be heading?

[sjsbrfc]

90 minutes to save our club

[JWUpper]

If anyone is driving over from Preston city centre, just a heads up that there’s been an accident on the way to the Capitol Centre so traffic is being held up a bit in case you can go a different way!

[tomphil]

First 45 is going to be a big test of nerves as I expect the cautious approach again of having Dack deep and looking to hit long balls or counter, the approach that's caused us our own problems at times. Wouldn't be surprised to see us ship a goal and stage the usual second half fight back, tonight more than any we need the big guns blazing.

[davulsukur]

Nerves are kicking in now, we need to clinch promotion tonight!!

[Paul]

On the train to Doncaster for 6.45pm arrival. 

[Donny Rovers]

Long shot I know, but currently on holiday in Orlando, does anybody know if the match is being shown over here?

[rovers1993]

haven't posted in nearly 3 years, dam, come on you rovers! haven't been this excited for a game in a long long long while!

SOLD OUT - the allocation is actually 3839.

EDIT: Maybe not, they have said 3839 sold, but still telling people tickets are available, so maybe we are getting around 4000.

Just been looking at Wigan's website, 345 tickets left for Donny away a week on Saturday.

Total final allocation 4,111.

[JAL]

Expect there'll be no nerves from the players tonight, they know it's job done tonight. Fully expect them to be wanting to get out there now and get stuck into Doncaster from the off. So long as when we need a breather they don't let Doncaster gain in confidence we'll be alright.

Come on Charlie and the boys !

Good luck to all the supporters there.

If you are out of the UK you should be able to purchase the match day pass on ifollow, The game is not being broadcast on any TV stations anywhere as far as I can see

[Gav]
