Just announced that club will be providing free coach transport.

ps. Anybody else camping out at Ewood Sunday night/Monday morning?

I'll be there by 8.30 - not camping out. No point!

Could someone please clarify how this "4 tickets per person" thing works?

If you go down initially can you get 4 tickets with 2 away stubs?

Or do you need 4 sets of 2 away stubs?

each season ticket you use must have 2 away purchases recorded against it on the ticket office computer system.

And each person can only possess a maximum of four such cards...

Im in the que Monday morning to buy my 3!

you dont see birmingham wasting £7.5 million on a player who cant last 18 months

cant remember what BF said, something along the lines of "this rangers shirt feels so good "

atleast we made £2 million on our badge kissing judas, you were practically trying to sell yours for 1/2 price and then bring in big mouth little legs

'wasted' 7.5mill?

We paid 6.5 mill and got 5mill back.

I make that a paper loss of 1.5m. Not your asserted 7.5m.

I couldnt get to the game last night, did they say anything about coach transport to dingleville?

Does anyone know if you can ring up for tickets or do you have to queue on the respective days when they are on sale?

Cheers

The travel arrangements have not yet been confirmed and there is an announcement expected either today or tomorrow - in preparation for the match tickets to go on sale.

You can ring for tickets as normal, but must have the account numbers - they have advised they will be especially strict.

Savage looked more of a threat in the first half than Ferguson did in 18 months. Thompson wasn't good but then he was never going to get the space he thrives on in a 5 man midfield. Not sure what Mokoena's best position is?

It'll be interesting to see who Hughes opts for in centre midfield against Boro. Savage likes getting forward, so I wonder if playing him alongside Tommo would be too attack minded.

BTW: The commentators on the radio were saying that Tommo stormed down the tunnel on being subbed - did that really happen?

He took his time getting off the pitch and did disappear, not convinced he stormed but maybe Manchester Blue could see better from his perch....

He knew he had played badly.

As you werent at the match and dint know the formation at half time, presumably werent watching it on the TV - how on earth do you knopw that anything was stifled?

Definitely announced it as the 'last' two away games.  Why that I don't know.  If anything it should be any two or more even but why pick the last two.  Unless as some have said the announcer was wrong but  he definiteley announced that.

Agreed, he did say last 2 away games,

Apparently he said that at half time, but not pre or post match.

We'll see when it goes on the website.... how many will have those two stubs? 500? If that. Would be a little strange.

From what I could gather from the tannoy it is this:

Monday/Tuesday: ST holders who went to the last TWO away games - Portsmouth and Cardiff

Wednesday: All ST holders

Any remaining tickets will go on sale to anyone on the database.

One ticket per ST with a maximum of 4 per person

Adults: £18

Junior: £9

OAP: £11.50

Disappointed those of us who bothered to turn up for Bournemouth, Cardiff replay and Colchester haven't been rewarded for doing so. I think this is wrong, if one attends the less attractive games one should get first shout for the big fixtures.

Rovervision said full details are on the official site but I can't see anything yet.

Paul

It was any away games.

Here is my best guess.....

ST holders with 2 away trips

ST holders with 2 home cup stubs

ST holders

Open Sale

With perhaps 2 days for each of the first three?

I suspect they will be announced at tonights match or in the morning.

Tickets for a game that currently has neither a kick off time or day.

I think youve been fed a line......

Would of course mean that I wouldnt be guaranteed a ticket, despite going to 5 aways so far, and having a season ticket.

Because I didnt go to the Bournemouth game.

But still, Im sure the club will announce (cock it up) sooner or later.

My guess is that they will go for the seemingly standard ST holder with 2 away purchases this season.

Stu, you seem hell bent on going to this match. If you do get a ticket your in for a 'unique' experience. I went back in the 80's to a Manx cup match with my Dad - Big Stevie - and even he was scared. I've never seen anything like it. Blokes wielding baseball bats, bricks through the train window............It's like planet of the apes !

thats interesting mr hair because not to long ago, on this very board somebody was telling me it was the Blackburn fans who used to regularly turn over the Burnley fans in the hey day of football hooliganism

He didnt say who won!!

I dont believe you.

No way on this earth was big steve scared.

Nothing scares the iron man

NB - "big steve" was my PE teacher!!!

Don't see why on the basis of what I just posted:

I do think the regular away support (ST holder or not) and those who went to Cardiff should get first shout.

I'd have thought 5 aways qualified as regular away support.

Can't say I'm too worried, anyone who really wants a ticket and makes the effort will get one. If that means queing all night or a long morning on the phone that's what I shall do.

Sorry Paul.

I misread something I thought you put - ive done it a few times this week, must really stop trying to catch glimpses at work! Especially while the boss is in.

Klos is injured so he will probably be the captain 'til Stefan returns.

I merely took the cue from his quotes on the rangers official website.

Now If you know better than Barry then smashing. And quite frankly I dont care.

Alex Rae is captain in Klos' absence is he not.

he will resume the captaincy(presumably) of one of the biggest clubs in the world rather than playing for a poor provincial team who's support starts leaving fifteen minutes before the game ends.

For someone who clearly is at wetting pants stage with this you appear not to pay much attention.....

Rangers official site "Ferguson doesnt want captaincy back"

Ho hum.

Whilst it might be fair, do you think that.....

a) demand will be sufficient to warrant that many stages?

will the Ticket Office be able to, in terms of time - not ability, to implement so many stages?

4.5 to 5 depending on appearances.

But isnt it wortha try given Rovers current plight, and the fact that they wont give us more cash, but have thrown this bloke in?

I'd take 4.5m plus striker with reasonable pedigree over 5m but no time to buy striker any day of the week.

Where are we upto with this?

A scottish friend tells me its 4.5mill plus Shoro Arvedladze.

Wonder if thats why its taking a while to confirm?

Beeb not disclosing amount, or even guessing. I reckon it'll be £5.3 - 5.5m, with any amount over the 4m mark being paid in instalments. If its any less I'll be seriosly narked.

sorry para,

It appears we significantly lowered our asking price.

you up for a game UB?

Ill play right back.

Season ticket holders first.

Season ticket holders who have been to all three cup games?

Can't wait for this one! Could be considered a bit of a banana skin though , anybody got any idea when the tickets go on sale?

Probably late this week or early next.

Depends on what the police want to do I would imagine.

One of the selling points Rovers stress when trying to tempt people to buy season tickets is the fact they are in a privelidged position re: cup tickets. It's going to be season ticket holders before non season ticket holders regardless of how many away stubs the latter have.

Sorry Hasta - I actually meant Season Ticket holders with stubs - it doesnt read that way, my mistake
