Friedel, Neill, Khizanishvili, Nelsen, Gray, Bentley, Tugay, Savage, Pedersen, Dickov, Bellamy. from the official site. Some surprises in there.

Isnt the new years eve game at the JJB?

HEs been here a year and done that since game 1 and you only just found out? What kind of fan are you?

They paid a tenner.

Well I went in the end. Good performance in the main I thought. Emerton played in fits and starts. Bellamy had a very good game. I dont believe that Todd will go straight back into the first 11 come Staurday, Nelsen and Zura work well together. 5500 Hudds fans as well, massive ques outside both ends, and they didnt stop coming in until nearlyhalf time!

Its percentage capacity. But occasionally they cock up, they will have left the possible capacity at last years figure!!

Its an interesting idea tnd, I wont be putting my name down just yet, given that I am skint cos of paying for 2 full price adult season tickets already, and the fact that I am intended on getting my 4 year old to start to come to listen to daddy rant and rave on a saturday this season. When one of his school friends wants to come I will gladly pay for it.

Im not a fan either MB, I spent over £2k following the Rovers home and away last season between me and the boss. To put that into context that is around 10% of my income for the year gross of tax and the other crpa I pay out every month. And thats having a wife child and ###### great mortgage. We arent true supporters because we miss a cup game against Huddersfield after the team put out what they have been doing recently..... Ho hum, think what you want, I suspect you are being rather sanctimonious. EDIT - By "great" I dont mean good, I mean large.

Whereas I think a chance is getting the opportunity and having the chance to hit the net, or where our players are concerned, hit the corner flag.

Lee said approx 12500 on the official MB.

Im skint, Im struggling to find babysitters......... But most of all I dont actually WANT to go. I love Rovers, Ive been going for over 15 years, missing only around 40 home games in all competitions in that time. Ive never not wanted to go, I could overcome the lack of babysitters if I really tried (or paid someone), I could pay for the tickets on the visa and pay it off when I get my overtime if I really wanted to. Just recently though I am tired of going that extra mile. What reward do I get! I love that club as well, but Im not getting much back for the first time in years.

I think they are chances Stu, just ones we fluffed. Well not "we" but them rather well played footballers we throw our hand earned crust at.

HEs right. Shame none of them got converted. 24 shots wasnt it....

So what are they spending it on (extra, that they wouldnt spend anyway?)

Waggy is right on this one, either free or a token charge to cover administration and tickets and the like, say £1 per person or even, say £10 per order with no limit on the number of tickets.

Tris, I think that demonstrates they are over reactions, weve got talk of relegation and disaster. Perhaps it will develop into that discussion later in the season, after Easter? Or even if thing go badly, but a handful of games in? Clearly a knee jerk reaction to a game where we were the better team but failed to capitalise. I was gutted. I work at a University and was chatting to a recently arrived Geordie who spotted the badge on my jacket, he came an apologised for "mugging us". That sums yesterday up for me.

On the contrary I think him getting suspended has been "good". It has given Zurab the chance to play in the first XI, and he has demonstrated his ability at this level, and given Todd a challenge to win his place back.

15 years. First top flight win for 44.

Im not going. I decided today. I just have no enthusiasm for a Rovers game at the moment. Was chatting to some folks in the concourse pre match today, both seasoned fans, one for 60+ years, one for 30+ years. Already taking about not renewing....same old reasons.

Football in general mr broken record. Football in general. But with your little one subject posting you dont seem to see that.

They only brought 5000 last season, from their 5500 allocation.

They also have a "local" Premiere in Newcastle on Sunday night at 7.30pm. A three line whip is forcing ALL the players to attend with their partners.
