Came past the ground earlier and their didn't seem to be much of a queue at all. I know people queue under the stand but the windows seemed empty. Over reaction maybe? Revidge, What you must understand is that Celtic have refused point blank to give us anymore tickets and that is as simple as it gets. I agree we could have told them to increase the allocation or hold back tickets at Ewood but I’m sure that was never an option in the grand scheme of things. The club have taken a view based on away support in recent times and asked for the 3000. When was the last time we took 3000 away? all things being equal?

I haven't changed my opinion on the allocation and even if I had its clear Celtic wouldn't have offered us anymore tickets in any event. They are looking after their own fans and rightly so. I still think with the game being on a Thursday night and live on TV we'd never have sold 6000 and not too many supporters will be disappointed with a 3000 allocation. As for the home game it was interesting to see the gate yesterday was around 4000 down on capacity and that was in home areas alone. Newcastle has always been one of the biggest premiership games at Ewood yet we still couldn't fill the home sections. Both decisions are will prove to be correct in my opinion. Gav I agree with you, that the allocations of the tickets are and will probably be correct, I am just annoyed that the club haven't done anything to seperate Season ticket holders, and season ticket holders who travel away often. I will not only be trying to get Celtic tickets tommorow, but also trying to get my hands on some southampton tickets which I am also sure will have the same levels of demand Great point tucker, as a few more have also made, regarding season ticket holders who usually go away. But where does this sort of grouping stop? We went to Sofia but hardly go away these days due to personnel circumstances. If we couldn't get a ticket for Celtic I’d have been up in arms as I’m sure the 20+ away games a season fan will be at us getting a ticket for Celtic! I have always bought my season ticket with the knowledge that I will be able to get tickets for the bigger games before someone who does not have a season ticket. In this day and age it may not be the best solution but it's worked for many a year now but I can sympathise. This site great that it is only serves a very small number of Rovers supporters and if ticket restrictions had been different you'd have upset another group who didn't qualify. You can't please all the people all the time.
