Mattyblue Posted December 30, 2024 Posted December 30, 2024 So we weren’t being ‘OTT’ and ‘negative’, after all then, just ahead of the curve from the club, as we usually are on here… 2 Quote

Mattyblue Posted December 30, 2024 Posted December 30, 2024 Presumably they’ll be putting more on shortly, not just a hundred on the back six rows… Quote
superniko Posted December 30, 2024 Posted December 30, 2024 It’s so weird they won’t open that bit up fully. You can walk to the edge of the riverside anyway so what difference does it make having people sat there 2 Quote

Michael123458 Posted December 31, 2024 Posted December 31, 2024 Imagine that called off because of weather no chance at all. Let’s be honest if it were who would get a refund on their ticket for the rematch. My boss would be getting annual leave requests!! 😃 Quote

It was v Sunderland and I had a pub in Ossy at that time. I had a coach load and a mini bus full of Mackems in the pub from about 3pm that day and it was only called off around an hour before ko time. The drivers had even started calling out the fans that it was time to leave for Ewood when the postponement announcement came on Sky. It was gutting for them - wasted day and all that. My till fkin loved it though lol 2 Quote
SIMON GARNERS 194 Posted January 1 Posted January 1 (edited) Rovers must do everything possible to ensure this game goes ahead especially with that crowd expected. No JW lower end section seats available,you have to ask why?...I know fans looking to attend. Edited January 1 by SIMON GARNERS 194 Quote
Mattyblue Posted January 1 Posted January 1 And in half arsed fashion they only put a few back row seats for sale in the Riverside too. Quote
Forever Blue Posted January 1 Posted January 1 (edited) How many home tickets have we sold, and how many have they not put on sale? Edited January 1 by Forever Blue Quote
Mattyblue Posted January 1 Posted January 1 (edited) I’d say 22k-ish out of the 23k seats in home areas, they’ll give a ‘sold out crowd of 26 thousand and something’ (a 31k capacity stadium) Crazy really when the game ‘sold out’ with over a week to go. Edited January 1 by Mattyblue 1 Quote

An absolute clown show as per usual. Quote
BankEnd Rover Posted January 1 Posted January 1 Just seen that Hannibal got sent off for the dingles...That'll do nicely. Quote

Ricky Posted January 1 Posted January 1 Yep, he’s not going to be able to appeal it as it was a blatant stamp. Levels up us missing Trav as they are both their respective teams WUMs. Quote
BlackburnEnd75 Posted January 1 Posted January 1 Pears Brittain. Hyam. Batth. Beck Buckley Tronstad ACD. Cantwell. Dolan Gueye Subs: Toth, fadz, baker, JRC, Hedges, weimann, Leonard. Have assumed that ohashi won't be fit. Quote

If Cantwell misses out I would probably go with JRC there and keep Baker next to Tronstad. 1 Quote
OJRovers Posted January 1 Posted January 1 Anyone know which pubs will be open in the morning before the match? Quote
