--> QUOTE(Ste B @ Sep 4 2006, 12:51 ) 442399[/snapback] I suggest that if its nice we pay a visit to This Beer Garden one afternoon. That looks an ideal meeting place Ste.

The Irish bar in Sofia the night before the game, and as Steb pointed out the English pub in Lyon were memorable to say the least. Wednesday night in either pub will be good if everyone heads there.

You and giddy goat tried to trap his head in the lift doors, then you tried to roll him in the lift and send him up and down the down hotels 30 floors..........I SAVED HIM FROM THE SECURITY then he tried to attack me when he came round That's gratitude for ya!

How does the allocation work then Lee? just over 200 sold and possibly another 100-200 put aside for the travel club? so around 300 left? Just wondering as a couple of people I know don't have season tickets and are getting rather worried

Clearly Hughes rates him a much better player than some of us on here. His performances so far this term have hardly covered him in glory especially getting sent off at Pompey which was amateurish to say the least, so a new deal is surprising........ Neill holds all the aces though and i doubt he'll sign the new deal with Liverpools interest on going.

Debs went down at 7.45am and had around 25 other people in front of her, first guy arrived at 5am! Many seemed to be buying several tickets for friends and family. She left at around 9.20am and said at least 50 people were still in the queue. I think you'd have to assume that all the tickets will easily be snapped up so don't put things off for to long if you fancy going.

Pack the suncream people

Miserable ****

Amen.

Apparently not.

They were pussy cats I know Glenn has been try to arrange a pub for us all to meet up and hopefully this will happen if the locals get back to him. The night before the game in Sofia has to be my highlight, singing and dancing on the tables and Waggy seemingly unconscious on the bar, after several 70% proof vodkas, suddenly burst into song and gave us a rendition of "I was born in the Blackburn end" Quality moment

They can't do that because they'll be left with hundreds of unsold tickets. They tried to do the same when we went to Lyon but discarded the idea after people went mad. Season ticket holders will get the bulk of tickets and rightly so, but i feel 700 maybe not enough for this one and queues are likely on the morning tickets go on sale. Can i just add also that all the other clubs in the Uefa Cup have announced ticket details and travel packages, why haven't we??????

Couple of hours and runs regular 20 Euros give or take a few No

Good man, pity Tris and Giddy can't make and yes where is Waggy?

The booze bus will be hitting the road at some stage this season. As for getting stuffed? Who cares? It’s all about following your team in to Europe, for me it’s the best part of following the club, you should try it SG you'll not be disappointed.....

Are the home team not obliged to offer the away club 10% of the grounds capacity? Seems like allot of interest in this one and despite my early claim I’m beginning to think 700 may not be enough.

He should never have been allowed to pull on the shirt after he refused to play a couple of seasons ago. The manager is paid to make decisions, you have to live with that but Todd thinks he's above it all. Get rid

My brother in law paid £52 to watch todays game, £36 for himself and £16 for his 6yr old in the family stand. Now I'm all for charging a decent away support top dollar to come to ewood even if it keeps home supporters away but today should have been much cheaper, most people can't afford to pay £112 in the space of 5 days to watch Rovers live and Chelsea were always going to bring nothing in my eyes. It's a real dilemma for the powers that be and i applaud them for their efforts so far but clearly they're on a hiding to nothing as we want to remain competitive but just can't get the fans through the turnstiles. Whats the answer? I've no idea but its clear they're doing a fantastic job and lets hope they can keep it going............

So what exactly were you expecting? a faultless performance against the best team in the league? he needs time to adapt to the pace of the game and the physical side of premiership football is something he'll not be used to. Give the guy a chance......

It's typical of Rovers fans to slate the new signing, he's just got off the plane and was thrown into the firing line and did a good job. Give the guy a chance for goodness sake.

Was talking to a bloke who drove last year and it took him 3 days to get to Salzburg with a caravan on the back. He said it was a long treck and he'd not even consider it this time around.

I think you've got to take this game in perspective really, flights are not exactly cheap in the main but its an easier trip than say Sofia or Ankara. I'd say 300 tops attended each of those two away fixtures possibly less than that. In my opinion I'd say we'd just about manage to sell 700 tickets for this one, most people I've spoken to are interested in going, a Little like our trip to Lyon many moons ago. I think everyone who fancies going will be able to get a ticket and also I've been with numerous people around Europe watch Rovers and England, many without tickets who have always got in the ground regardless of stadium size. I'd go regardless of having a ticket or not, Europe away with your club side is such a fanatastic experience and you never know, it could be our last.

I've noticed bayern are playing Sparta In Munich on the Tuesday night, maybe worth a look only 1hr 30mins away from Salzburg by train.

I've already said i agree with charging £36 on Wednesday as the away support swells the coffers. But it was interesting to note that the pub before the game was full, but mostly full of people out to watch the game on TV rather than pay £36 to have the privilege. "I can have a few beers, something to eat and pay for a taxi home on £36" was the popular concensus....
