Were you with the Burberry-clad lads on the back row just right of the goal in the BBE lower?

No. not me mate. Just to the right of goals,17th/18th row, seats 70-odd, looking thirsty with about 8 other thirsty looking chaps.

Never worn Burberry in my life...& proud of it!

Strangely enough , Cletus , I drove down to pick my lads up from the game (spent half an hour in Fox and Hounds) and there were plenty leaving the ground with about half an hour still to go....

[cletus]

...must`ve been thirsty people after all , it was a Friday night & they weren`t selling beer in the ground. Must admit we left with 5mins to go, so we could get a few scoops in before the crowds. Naughty of me i know ,but it wasn`t the Rovers playing.

There were about 6 lads to our right who did exactly the same. I didn't realise people came to Ewood for the beer!

[cletus]

It`s a social event intit?

Meet up with the lads, have a few jars, watch some footy, have some banter then tootle off home slightly worse for wear

...unfortunately on that night, there was no beer & little banter (thanks to the nazi type stewarding.
