The only good performance at Bolton was the Rovers fans (the few who turned up) who were magnificent. Pity about the game. With entertainment like this we will be lucky to have 18000 home fans agaist the Toon next Sunday. At least if you watch the game on Sky you can switch off or cut the lawn. Some of us had to endure 90 mins of utter crap at The Breezeblock with no alternative but to make our own entertainment hence the magnificent racket from the Rovers fans.

I went to the Horden's before and after the Spurs game. It was full with many Rovers fans in the front room watching Rovers on the big screen rather than go and watch it live 2 miles down the road. Who can blame them. Also Howard Kendall was on at the Hordens later that evening although he was p****d as usual and made no sense.

The other big worry is where has the Corporate support gone? No longer any sponsorship of the Family Stand with Rock FM gone along with their programme adverts!! No Orange Man of the Match or adverts again!! 5 Corporate boxes at the BBE empty withou tenants (or was it 6?) rather than the usual one!! At 27K per box plus profits from the booze bills this is a mega loss. Are we in the s**t?

I couldn't believe the ST holders who were missing yesterday having given up on the Rovers, at least 20 long time blues ST holders have deserted them inthe seats near me in the JW Upper (NO I don't have B O !!); this includes people who have been to a number of away games in recent seasons. Their ST seats have been replaced by those further back in the JW who have moved down to get a better seat. The problem is that they find other interests and no longer turn up to the odd match as walk ons. We really have some desperate issues here with the Rovers support dropping by 2K every season...this threatens our Premiership viability.

680 !!

How exactly are we behind PNE when they hadnt even got over the 9 thousand mark for season ticket sales just before the start of the season? And as for Wigan I still don't think they have reached our sale of 13k (if we are 1k behind our total of 14k last season) when it is their biggest season EVER. If we start the season less than a thousand down after the pretty poor fayre served up at Ewood over the last two years we havent done half bad. 338866[/snapback] Figues i've read say PNE and Wigan at 12K plus. We are 11.5K.

SHOOT Emerton NOW What are we doing keeping this headless moron...does he ever lift his head up and look? Why didn't we shift him off to the barcodes? SHOOT HIM/PUT HIM DOWN NOW

Yeah, just read the article. Around 1000 down actually means OVER 1000 down. I actually find this both bad and sad news and we now have the lowest ST sales in the Premiership including Wigan Pathetic and behind local rivals such as Preston. The article says the figure is made up of approximately 700 adults and 300 children. We need to look at this in the context of season upon season of reducing ST holders and an equivalent reduction in the home gate. The only answer appears to lie on the pitch...the comment I constantly hear is "why go and spend good money watching this crap".

Rovers win 3v0 gate: 16,700

Rovers win 2v0 gate: 17,350

£15 QUID!!!!!! Up your jacksey blue boys

Still waiting for my 2 ST's. But I am gagging to get my hands on the "Goals of the Season" DVD. Is it like Friday night sex after a skinful of ale...2 mins, lacking action and instantly forgetable?

almost 5% down

what do I neded a sodding hot dog for? This will give me a fat arse...why not offer fresh pressed apple or freshly squeezed orange or even low fat yoghurts. Has JW and the Board never heard of healthy eating. They will never learn.

never!! but check previous posts for being spot on with my leads

Latest ST news....sales, based on Thursday 7th are DOWN 40% on last season. This is a correct figure.

talking to mate last night who is 29 yrs BBE ST holder who is not renewing, reasons: "I'm fed up of watching boring s**t from overpaid dummies" "I want to choose when I go and free up my Saturdays" This on top of the lad and his missus from Euxton who packed in last season after 10 years who told me on Friday that he went to only 2 matches last season: Burnley home and the Parkes Testimonial! What the hell do we do, I can't blame them and the arguments don't appear to exist to persuade them to not only retain but to attend a few games. These are not rare examples; the other is the lifetime JW ST holder who only attended the WBA home (first game and crap) and the Parkes game.

Call it what you like...I could not give a monkeys if it brings in cash. The sad position is that I doubt if we will have any takers; even North End can raise more cash with sponsorship than us (their shirt deal for example). It would be nice if we could even let all our boxes! In brief we are in the s**t.

1966/67 season , just after relegated to the old 2nd Division.

Just off to the States in an hour. I wanted to go to Ewood but sometimes the choice is too difficult. I'll be looking out on the web tonight and wish the England women well.

Is this the team that beat PNE at Cardiff last week? And what are the 2 in the middle up to?

Sorry to dissapoint you, but it's an "i" 320627[/snapback] Even better!!

glad PNE didn't do it. I had an extra bevvy when Zamora scored. Coming orisinally from Leyland, when the Rovers Leyland support would not have filled a mini-bus, PNE were always the opposition...Burnley mean nowt to those of us from West of Blackburn. Stay down you PNE scummers!!!

with a bit of luck I may even receive my renewal packs soon...it's Thursday and still no sign.
