Buying a season ticket to rovers...
 
man they're cheap! *L*

compared to what those chelsea folks pay and the united fans have to go thru its a very good deal

i'm wanting ideally in the jack walker stand - w05 but what are the chances i'll get it?

why is the CiS stand so cheap for? is it really that shoddy?

It'll be the restricted view. From about 4.20pm onwards you won't be able to see the game from there, due to all the people streaming out early. Worst I've seen for leaving early.

aaaaaah ok. i thought it was cuz the stand was crap or something...

so higher up in the jack walker stand is ideal?

Don't do it, please don't do it.

No idea to be honest. I haven't been inside Ewood since Stanley played there in 1995 (the Stanley centenary game). I just know that when I watch Rovers on Sky I can see all the people streaming out 20 minutes or more before the end of the game. It must be a nightmare for people seated on the lower rows.

Your'e better off at the bottom level of the Jack Walker stand but at the back of the stand ......... I think it's called Bolton Rd :)

Sometimes I drive through Darwen at about 4.30pm on a Saturday and see car loads of Blackburn fans on their way home. No idea what time they leave. I bet the ground is empty at the full-time whistle. ;)

Re: Buying a season ticket to rovers...
 
I'll buy you a pint everytime I see you if you don't...

Re: Buying a season ticket to rovers...
 
OK. Mani, your choice. But when you end up as one the disillusioned hordes, trudging out of the Jack Walker stand at 4.20, don't come crying to us! ;)

Mani, I’m inviting you as my guest at the first completive Home game of the season. It includes a pint. Come on lad you know your Stanley; you just haven’t woken up to the dream. :)

mani 19-06-2007 23:21

Re: Buying a season ticket to rovers...

mani 19-06-2007 23:35

Re: Buying a season ticket to rovers...

Don't do it Mani, they'll do a Burnley this season and the kit is horrable. :D

Give Stanley a go and then you can at least make a sound judgement and become a Stanley man for life. :)

mani 20-06-2007 02:05

Re: Buying a season ticket to rovers...

About how many games can you see for that and, are there any other advantages?

Wynonie Harris 20-06-2007 07:33

Re: Buying a season ticket to rovers...
 
Mani, you'd be better off coming up t'Stanley, because you'd see an exciting, honest, passionate style of football that gets the pulse racing. OK, the skill levels aren't the same, but we do have some players who can display quite a bit of flair (Boco, Dsane) and, as Doug says, we've a chance of making the play-offs next season.

You'd also enjoy the matchday experience much more in the down-to-earth, informal atmosphere of the Clayton End, instead of sat in a plastic stand. There's a much better "crack" on the terraces and you've got an invitation to stand with Harwood Red and AccyMel - not something I've done myself, but I believe it's quite an experience! :D

Mani, you're an Accy lad and there nothing quite like sharing in the triumphs, joys and disappointments of your home town team.

And finally, there's a pint waiting from Doug and a pint waiting from me, too, so get yourself up there!

Your having a laugh

Wynonie Harris 20-06-2007 09:49

Re: Buying a season ticket to rovers...
 
No, I'm quite serious, we have some skillful players, at that level, and I'm cautiously optimistic about our chances next season.

Best of luck..........I hope Stanley do get in the play off's

Wynonie Harris 20-06-2007 10:09

Re: Buying a season ticket to rovers...
 
Got to admit, Roy, the bookies don't share my optimism, but they didn't back us to win the conference in 05/06. Anyway, I've got a good feeling about this season! :cool:

mani 20-06-2007 15:29

CIS stand is the old side of the ground so isn't fully integrated with the rest of it and isn't as modern. It means when you're leaving it takes a lot longer!

Hence why on the telly you always see people leaving early, it's the stand that the camera's point at and where it's easy to get stuck in traffic if you stay till the end. Not that I've ever left early ;)

Re: Buying a season ticket to rovers...
 
aaaaaaaaah ok :)

no no decision yet - just "contemplating" yet

Re: Buying a season ticket to rovers...
 
I remember the last time I was at a Rovers home game was when Duncan Edwards was playing for Manchester United :eek: :eek: and being hoisted over the wall to get a good look .
