Very well put Manc Blue,couldn't agree more.If 'entertainment value' was the main reason for renewing of season tickets then admittedly we'd probably be down to about 1,000 season ticket holders after last seasons poor fare but gladly we have better fans than that who no doubt remember the bad days of the 70's and 80's..... WE'VE STILL NEVER HAD IT SO GOOD FOLKS!

''It might not be as much as a fan pays for their season ticket at another club, but so what? In my opinion £1,000 is a lot to pay for 2 season tickets and I could do a lot of things with it.'' To reiterate again 92er if cost is the main issue for you, you and your mrs could sit in the Riverside for roughly £500 and still be able to 'do a lot of things' with the other saved £500....with all the financial initiatives Rovers have done for the coming season I personally refuse to believe that cost is a viable excuse for non-renewal. WHERE'S THE LOYALTY?

''I think that the renewal deadline was too early '' Totally agree, why clubs do this to their supporters i'll never know, it certainly cant help with sales when people are asked to find the coin in such a short space of time....some clubs have their season tickets on sale a month before the season finishes!

''With the announcement of Ferguson as the captain, players like himself, Thommo, Jay and possibly new signings the amount of season ticket holders will increase.'' Where does your evidence for this increase come from Roversismylife?.....Rovers have seen a steady season by season decline in season ticket numbers while almost all other Premiership clubs have reported increased sales,very depressing but fact.

Pardon? It's certainly headline news if sales have slumped. Or is it a case that the club only likes to report "good" news. Agree with Jim,slightly surprised by your reply Lee to be honest,how many season tickets we have sold IS newsworthy and should concern everybody connected to B.R.F.C.... whether board member or Blackburn Ender!

Any official news on numbers sold yet Lee?

I applaud the move,a role that Fergy will excel in I feel

I admire your optimism Hughesy I really do.27k!! we only managed slightly more than that the season after we won the Premierleague....if only pal,if only.

Couldn't agree more daviemac.

I was hoping that some of this England/national pride football euphoria seen over the last fortnight might rub off on the season ticket sales and provide a bit of a timely boost..........hey ho,oh well Not good by all accounts.

Dont get your hopes up too high, how many times have we been let down in the past.......

We can only pray and hope to god it isn't true.

What would have been the tabloid reaction if the murderer had been caught by England fans and given a DESERVED beating,........ ENGLISH HOOLIGANS ATTACK INNOCENT BYSTANDER IN ANOTHER NIGHT OF SHAMEFUL VIOLENCE

Had two blokes in the Ewood area posting season ticket leaflet's yesterday to all the houses. How many sold?.....nowhere near as many as JW was expecting at a guess

Everton fans must be very proud tonight....they must also be sick of the sight of Abramovich's mug and very soon his coin too. We know how it feel's Toffees.

...... BRING ON PORTUGAL!!

An easy win in the end against ###### poor opponents.

An unbelievably selfish attitude that is. But it probably reflects the feelings of a lot of our supporters - oh I will bugger off now that the Walker money has dried up. It is time for fans to repay Jack Walker at the time when the club needs our support more than ever. Well said mjs...so strange how everybody and his dog wanted a piece of the pie when matters were rosey back in '95. Impending matters at Ewood this coming season will soon sort the wheat from the chaff both on and off the field of play I feel (interpret how you wish). NOT good timing like Rev states.

20% increase in sales at dollopdale compared to the same stage last season.....surely nothing to do with the free under 8's? http://www.pnefc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/News...~532156,00.html

Good news indeed!

Short queues at the ticket office this morning..only till Sat to renew your old seat,direct debit etc people!!!

Many more than 30k England fans in the stadium,thousands in the bars around the area and NO trouble reported in Lisbon this morning.......OH DEAR! what in gods name will the press use to fill their front pages with now? WELL DONE ENGLAND FANS

What do you think to that Soueyisgod?........ 35-50k!!! England fans expected in Portugal...... only 4 arrests and those released without charge MAGNIFICENTLY WELL BEHAVED I WOULD SAY!

Have the English 'barbarians' taken to eating the local population yet mate?
