Ticket prices are out stripping inflation.

Chaddy and Rev seem happy with that.

I object.

Sales will tell the tale.

I think we’ll see similar to this year. Those people who are just addicted to Rovers and will watch in L1. Let’s see if Championship is enough of a draw for people to pay £349.

An example amongst many as you can see from the footage.  

It's a football match, fans get drunk, they sometimes over step the mark, it's not bloody Polo!

4% over 2 years would have been modest. I've not had a pay rise in 4 years. I rest my case.

Change jobs

Like I said previously I live within my means and within my sensible financial management plan. I've not going to tell all my bills and outgoings as Tom has said I shouldn't be putting personal info on here.

The Darwen End was more like a Bank Holiday beer garden with a football match going on in the background.  Too many extremely drunk, low-level scores, many wth children.  Luckily for the parents social services has been cut back so much, that they've no need to worry.  

Who the feck are you? 

[gumboots]

Not true anyway. We were in the Darwen end and largely it was fine. Nobody drunk round us. Most people just enjoying the match as we were. Had a 2 year old with us and everyone was just making a fuss of him.

Would somebody that uses a food bank be able to buy a ST without the increase then?

What a crying shame they could not have frozen prices to capitalize on the promotion feel good factor..I hate to say but they have missed a trick here.

Ewood is a great Stadium with 25k on..an empty shell with 12k.

Thought all four of Rovers strikers against Oxford had poor games Samuel Graham Armstrong and Antonsson.

Talk of season tickets is premature when you don't know who the club is going to sign this summer.

Which is why they dangle early bird deals: “You can wait and see but it’ll cost you”.

We could sign Neymar and Messi and you would be first on here criticizing them

Do you think they played well if so what did they do. Footballing excellence is what im looking for to fill Ewood Park .

As you can see from the footage there was a sizeable number of idiots. many with kids who were out of control.  Having said that, the social services comment was a joke.

[Vinjay]

Could easily make up an extra £50 if you spent 15 mins a day doing online surveys, etc for a year. I can't imagine after promotion that tickets were ever likely to be reduced, I agree with Chaddy somewhat that flyers are a waste of money though "save the rainforest" isn't really my reasoning. I see so many businesses that could save money without wasted expense. If I was at Ewood each member of staff would be required to keep an inventory and I don't care how rich someone is. 

I didn't see any posters but wasn't looking for them really. It was mentioned via the PA/screen but anyone who wants a season ticket will get one regardless of whether they are handed flyers or not. "Word of mouth" is a form of advertising too and absolutely free.

If you want us all to agree why now give North Korea a visit.  BTW it's idiotic behaviour that divides people.

We would all love football excellence at Ewood park but we don't have owners who will bankroll such signings.So imo our best bet is signing young up and coming players who we can hopefully develop into good players.All you do is criticize ,especially our younger players.You don't go to many games do you? So you wouldn't have seen the improvement in the likes of Nyambe and Lenihan over the last 18 months yet your always on here calling Nyambe out

You are lying, blind, mad, or possibly all three.

Near misses count for nothing in football.

Ask yourself the same question let's just be grateful that other players in the team pulled them out of the shit. 

[Paul Mellelieu]

Worth watching this: the pitch invasion came only from the Darwen End from an area made up of people who rarely go to games.  Very few were in Rovers' shirts and a lot were dressed in hooligan gear.  Many were very drunk.  https://youtu.be/uxUbIZhINGg

Because they are likely to be £30 walk on?

And an away ticket in the championship with travel would be cheaper !?
