Leeds April 3rd.

[JHRover]

I went on Rovers' website last night and unless you buy the 4 game bundle there are no tickets for sale for the Leeds game.

It really does sum this operation up that whilst we are able to produce and send tickets to Leeds for them to sell out within an hour we can't even get ours on our website so that Rovers fans can buy if they want to go.

Talk about priorities.

Then Waggott will wonder why nobody bothers going. How about get tickets.on sale?

[Mattyblue]

He’ll have had word it’ll be off/be behind closed doors...

Fuck Leeds and Fuck Waggott.

This would be a good game to be shut down by cv19

Seriously  ?? No tickets on general sale for home fans for the game unless you shell out £70 for the 4 games ??

Waggott needs to do one. Obviously don't sell on the day of the match but this is just wrong.

Unless I'm being blind or stupid the only home game on sale as an individual match is this Saturday v Bristol city. Personally I'd have them all on sale now. Then again I'd try and get as many home fans in the ground as possible which doesn't seem to be on the agenda here. I suspect quite the opposite for the Leeds game.

I take it you missed out on one of the 7700?

[Mattyblue]

CP will know a Rovers fan or two from Brig, so he’ll be sorted. Few beers and a scrap on the Aldi car park.

Cracking day out.

[OldEwoodBlue]

How are Sodexo going to manage the pie order without knowing the numbers for Leeds ?

This is apparently a £3 per head catastrophe when talking about a couple of hundred Rovers fans.

So 7700 or zero must really be causing a headache for the pie logistical department.

I went and sat in the kop with my scouse dad dripping in blue and white as a kid. We got beat 2-0 and it was the worst thing I’d done at that point in my nine years on the planet. I got ruined.

the only other time I’ve cheered in the away end was at the breeze block when yorke equalised in the 94th minute. I couldn’t control it and I subsequently (and deservedly) got spat on slapped , threw down the steps and ejected

happy memories ?. 

sorry to correct you mate,but it was the 99th minute and craig short  got the equaliser,i nearly fell out of the upper tier such was my delirium?,fantastic night in my local as well after,bolton fans kicking off all night and the landlord getting fed up with us all and shutting the pub at 10.00 pm,happy memories indeed!!!!!!!

2002-03 Short scored an injury time equaliser.

2003-04 Yorke scored an injury time equaliser.

We went about 10/11 years unbeaten at the Reebok in that era.

sorry,got my years mixed up,roberts also get a last minute winner in circa 2007 when he ran from the halfway line and deposited the ball in the bottom corner?

[MarkBRFC]

That's the goal that took about four reflections before going in.

Good times.

That was the game I went to bud. August 2003. Remember the short one to . Both good times ?

[1864roverite]

BBC notifications state game v Leeds is now off 

[perthblue02]

If it is still on, we should be confident going into it on a 21 day unbeaten run

[OldEwoodBlue]

BBC website says postponed.

Everywhere else says it's on.

Rang ticket office and they said it's still on but likely to change.... Sounded like they didn't really know themselves.

wont surprise me if Leeds were allowed to play behind closed doors ...

[OldEwoodBlue]

poor old Sheriff Waggott of Ewood...

the meat in the pie....

On one hand refunding £300K to Leeds fans.

On the other hand paying for 7700 pies he no longer has use for.

Not sure why I find that amusing but ripping Rovers fans off with fake taxes means you "reap what you sow".

I would certainly put it past them.

Try to get a pie in the JW upper at half time and you’ll end up disappointed. I can’t speak for other stands as I don’t sit in them, but I’d be surprised if they were much different....

It's not Waggot's money being lost though. It's the club's.

You can't go wrong with a butter pie. Bit of salt and white pepper. Dollop of brown sauce if you fancy pushing the boat out. Absolutely delightful.

The above is 2nd only to a hot pork pie. All those juices running down your hand and wrist is actually quite sexual imo.

Pies are possibly mans greatest invention.

3 pies on a stick = Wigan Kebab
