Must be more than 300...I've got 5 for tonight. I thought success was meant to make you keener!

PSSST soft Bazza... WE'RE IN THE SEMI-FINAL and play Arsenal(twice),man U,Liverpool in the next few weeks. And you've got Motherwell(again)

And 2 short weeks ago we were still at the 5th round stage and too close to the drop zone. Now we are on our way to an extra £5m from Cup receipts and position in the Premiership.The FA Cup semi-finalists have won the Cup over 30 times between them and we have an outside chance of becoming the first club to win the FA Cup in THREE separate Centuries. Now let me see .."is the gap closing?"

A great draw ...Arsenal not on good form and the only tie that should be logically at The Millennium.

one hundred and fifty minutes to go. PMT starts to strike!

And badger-baiting brought back.

The win at Everton was perfect pre-Cup. I feel a steely resolve and we now need to pick the right team with Stead up front as well. Hughesy only player to win Cup 4 times in the 20th Century.....and presumably James Southworth plus at least one other rover in 19th Century. That's a cup tradition that made Uncle Jack want to do well. 1 -0 or 2-0 rovers.

EDDIE. YOU CAN BE THERE AND PICK UP RICKY EN ROUTE.

Please purchase tickets for Sunday's big match and we will put dummies in the seats. At least they won't leave early.

This season with all your support WE can get to a Cup Semi-Final for the first time since I was a nipper. And Johnny Stead can take us there.Plus Aaron(a man a match) Mokoena can cement our mobile midfield to our solid defence. Who you gonna nobble next week,Aaron.? DON'T MISS IT!

MGP .... all the doubters should be kicked off the board! Famous for ever more and I mean EVER. Just as famous as the legend that is Boxing Day and 3 -2. Whatever happens now he will always be remembered. A goal to win ANY match at ANY time.And he chose the Dingles at home in the Cup - a few minutes from the final whistle. A new Duffer - now play him at centrer-forward like we did with Duffer.

There's 2 full days left...but the BRFC promotion machine is silent.This is a great chance to boost the gate for the rest of the Season and then S/T sales for 2005/6. Also why are we worried about infiltration.We will be well up to push the team to victory and any Dingles will be outnumbered 50 to 1. They will just want to run on the pitch and have their day in the sun(despite it being an evening match) The Rovers fans will be roaring from 7.15 so get there early and don't stay at the bars. 2-0 with Johannsen and MGP scoring.I think we should play Short.

This is the best thread EVER. Passion, Venom,Rational argument,Customer care theory and Practice. And still I'm up for it ....but just a second where's my 7s 6d Postal Order from April 1960?

Latest Sales figures Mr.Grooby. I know you're in there somewhere.

Lets stop worrying, the time to sell tickets is only 55% thru. Too many people are looking at this statistically!

Maybe 5000 left...we're doing fine.That's 18,000 sold -don't be so gloomy. All we need is more P.R. from Club to encourage anyone put off by Tuesday/Wednesday. Let's hope there's a repeat next week with Leicester tickets!

PLEASE on Friday can somebody tell us how many have been sold. 5,000 per day = 15,000 plus lesser nos on Friday,Sat,Sun and monday. Even at 2,000 per day it should be 23,000 plus 7,000 knuckle-draggers by last thing Monday. Put us out of our exstacy that the stay-aways might have found their way back.

Now that's sorted can we not have a: TICKETS LEFT: 4959 ticker Surely Mr. Grooby could help, its public information.

Well done Den! It was worth it. Thanks for Forrest,Southworth and Latheron- showing that we have to pass the history of the Rovers down thru the generations.Next year is the 130 th year and I still have my Centenary beer mug. It was ironic that we speak of Parkes,Garner,Duggie/Ronnie and Sir Bob Crompton in hallowed tones just as we had the incident of "Soft Bazza" slinking off -the least revered Captain in Rovers history. More people will remember Jimmy Kerr from the early 70s who played about 8 scintillating games and then was badly injured than ever will remember Barry Ferguson. Thanks for the journey.

Got 5 tickets for Riverside at 5.10 pm today after a 40 minute wait.Full Marks there were 10 windows open!! the queue was 2/3 rds down blackburn end when I joined it and still there when I got to window. Excellent service...was told by Security Chief that there was no queue at 9.15 am...this is where your granny helps.DON'T BE PUT OFF.

Tugay,Gally,johansson underwhelmed the effort.We don't need a stronger defence but a re-shaped attack.The difference from 4 years ago was the 3 gems..Dunn,Duff and jansen. FFS put Stead in before Gally or the little 16 yr old pretending to be 20.An absolutely worthless substitution. Rovers fans brilliant...now 16,000 more buy tickets or me and thenodrug will get fed up again.

Game plan for Sunday..go for corners and let MGP take about 6 of those wicked inswingers!! It makes Notlobs tactics look soooo feeble. No..get MGP one corner and he will soften em up with the first 2 winning the game with the 3rd. A legend is born.

With 60 hours to go, Friarsnig great post. Andy82 ...I played for the Zebras in the 70s after transferring from Appleby-Frodingham.But don't get too carried away they were well down the pyramid then. Also my lowest Rovers moment came then...One Season I struggled to get to Hull City in the fog and it was called off.And a few weeks later Rovers played bloody Lincoln City in the League Cup and we lost 3-0 away from home and were shambolic.There seemed like no hope and yet 23 years later we won The Premiership. Thanks Uncle Jack and in 59 hours we will shout your name.Keep the Faith.

The 80 Coaches will create the perfect snow-plough phalanx as they move in perfect formation out of the Burnley district and back to "Success City". Now have you ever spent a night in Burnley? And will you even see the word phalanx ever attempted on Claretmad never mind spelt correctly! And its not about losing your voice...60 hours to go and counting.

Andy82 brother. my 5 teams: 1.Rovers 2.Rovers Reserves 3.Rovers Youth team 4.Scunthorpe United 5.Brigg Town(played for them when I worked in Scunny) This is a diversionary thread to syphon off the PMT.Only 63 hours to go...and 60 from leaving house for Coach.
