blackburn game
 

i heard its going to be pay on the door?

is this true :eek:

Re: blackburn game
 

also will it be segregated

Re: blackburn game
 

Yes it is. I was surprised at this with Rovers saying that 2,000 plus of their fans will be going.

I went to the ticket office at Ewood Park yesterday and said ' yes its 10 quid pay on the gate - but get there early!

Re: blackburn game
 

confirmed we have 2,500 tickets, ALL TICKET no pay on door for us

Re: blackburn game
 

Where did you see this?

Re: blackburn game
 

Well Rovers changed their minds very quickly. I was at the ticket office at Ewood just a few days ago, and the lady at the hatch said it was NOT ALL TICKET, it was £10 pay on the gate. I guess like all women they are entitled to change their mind at the last minute:D

Re: blackburn game
 

What is the official capacity of Stanleys ground?

Re: blackburn game
 

5,057.......

Re: blackburn game
 

Do me a favour at the game please. Lean over the fence and say 'G'day' to Ryan Nelson for me .

Re: blackburn game
 

I don't understand why so many tickets have been allocated to Rovers; Blackburn rarely bring over 200 to these friendlies!

If there is over 2000 that pay on then great...just hope it's not all gob.

Re: blackburn game
 

i`ll think you`ll find blackburn take a few thousand to local friendly games

Re: blackburn game
 

Hope they will but the last pre-season friendly we had against you 3 or 4 seasons ago there weren't that many Blackburn fans there

Re: blackburn game
 

That's because they weren't doing so well at the time ;)

Seriously, then it was a weak team, the likes of Grabbi etc as Cackburn had gone on a pre-season tour. This year, they have promised to bring the strongest team possible. Coupled with the fact it's their only away friendly on English soil, I reckon we'll see quite a few of their silent fans at the FES.

Re: blackburn game
 

Oi! chipmunk ......you're getting full of it eh,wouldn't happen to be a part time knuckle dragger in shyte claret would you!!!!;) :D

Regular 2,000+ at Blackpool, 3,000+ at Preston for 'friendlys' over the last few years.


Come and say hello.....

Re: blackburn game
 

It's nowt personal. I just hate your club. The same goes for the Dingles. I can't wait to see Savage get nut-megged by Ian Craney, and how I will laugh if Kuqi breaks one of his ribs doing the swallow-dive.:rofl38:

Re: blackburn game
 

Just had a look... Saw comments such as... this is accys cup final... this is the game to christen accy into the football league... most accy fans are burnley fans..... i was starting to feel sick so left before i read anymore :(

Re: blackburn game
 

our FIRST TEAM has never played at the crown

Shame bellamy isnt still at Blackburn

That would have been something to have seen him on the crown

Re: blackburn game
 

What? Seeing him marked out of the game by Rocky?

Re: blackburn game
 

Bellend ain't fit to grace the hallowed turf that is the FES :D

Re: blackburn game
 

I just can't wait to see rocky, welchy or liam richardson crunch robbie savage, its a quality moment in the waiting!!!

Re: blackburn game
 

Admittedly there were only 3 or 4 of your first team in the last friendly we played but you can bring the whole lot this time - if you dare. Can't wait to see what you're over paid prima donnas make of our pitch and our lads who, unlike the type of player your lot usually play week in week out, don't fall over at the merest hint of contact:p

Re: blackburn game
 

Back to original post - NO you cannot pay on the gate, it will be ALL ticket for both Stanley and Rovers fans

Re: blackburn game
 

i`d love it if we beat you by a high score :p just for your comments :not_ripe:

although i expect stick if you beat us :mad:

we can also see how quiet the rovers fans are eh :engsmil:

Re: blackburn game
 

ooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh this is gonna tatse so sweet :D


just waiting to rama jamma ding ding all these poxy comments right back down where they come from ;) :p

i say 5-1 rovers

Re: blackburn game
 

Jeezzzzzzzz I'll be keen to get on here next Sunday AM (NZ time) to get the result of this.Could be some interesting comments flowing around on here. Do ypu think both sides will put out their strongest sides,or will Blackburn in particular, take a more conservative approach player wise?

Re: blackburn game
 

Can't wait to see Savage cropped, the bloody girl. Does he still think that Brum is further from Wrexham than Blackburn is, or has somebody drawn him an 'ickle picture with crayons? Craney will show Robbie Savage exactly how to play the game, the way it should be played ie. not falling over at the slightest touch and feigning injury.

Downside of it is, we have to let the Scum from Blackburn into our beautiful ground, it will be tainted forever :(

Re: blackburn game
 

Don't be so cock-sure mate, our lads have nothing to lose in this game so I reckon they'll go all out for it and if we do get beat then what the hell - any neutrals'll say that what was was expected anyway! We're in a win-win situation :D

Re: blackburn game
 

PMSL That quote seems to ring a bell.Sounds like Kevin Keegan a few years ago when he was Newcascastle manager.:D :D

Re: blackburn game
 

lol

dont forget its only a friendly, the score doesnt matter for the teams, its about getting players ready again for the new season

think our tickets go on sale on tuesday

Re: blackburn game
 

remember all that last season we struggled to win any of the friendlies but then we won the league!!! I'll take that again!!!

Re: blackburn game
 

i am a stanley fan living in blackburn, most of my mates are rovers season ticket holders and i myself WAS a rovers season ticket holder but i have decided to get on to a few more stanley games. i will still go to the rovers though aswel. but what i am here to say is , i ve heard a lot of rovers fans , alot of my mates, saying rovers are going to thrash stanley 6-0,5-0,4-0. but non of them have actually seen stanley play. i think in reallity rovers will win but not by many maybe 2 or three at the most. my point is that dont underestimate anyone.
my prediction 3-1/3-2 rovers.

Robbie savage to get cropped by craney :engsmil:

Re: blackburn game
 

It was 4-4 last time i think and we were a good division or two lower than we are now. Chickens and hatching people!!!

Re: blackburn game
 

Re: blackburn game
 

Do you really want me to suggest a good place.... like on your own forum:p

Re: blackburn game
 

Question to difficult luv? :rolleyes:

Re: blackburn game
 

Nope obviously the answer was for you tho:rolleyes::D

Re: blackburn game
 

To any accy fan with more verbal communication skills than mel:rolleyes:

best places to park please.............


TA!

Re: blackburn game
 

Was i supposed to laugh then hardyha ok how about parking on the M65:p

Take it you haven't been to the FES or Accy for that matter then:rolleyes:

Re: blackburn game
 

Never been before.

Better to park on main rd? is it residents parking around the ground?


takes deep breath and awaits :D ......................

Re: blackburn game
 

Probably difficult to park round the ground, the car park has been reduced in size due to new turnstiles etc. On street parking available, just better take pot luck, park where you can and walk the rest of the way.

Re: blackburn game
 

Re: blackburn game
 

Re: blackburn game
 

try parking outside mels house and see if she is so damn sarcastic then :D :p

Re: blackburn game
 

Re: blackburn game
 

Bring it!!!! Im just as sarcastic in real as here Raver:D i hope you like a good walk tho:rolleyes:

Re: blackburn game

Re: blackburn game

Re: blackburn game
 

like as been said before, blackburn reserves

anyway it wouldnt be a shock to see a draw

we drew against morecambe in pre season last year 1-1 i think

Re: blackburn game
 

Making your excuses early are we?;)

Re: blackburn game
 

Anyone got their tickets yet? I ordered mine on Tuesday at the club shop, they hadn't arived from the printers and club are posting them out to me, thought I would have received them today but nothing turned up

Edit - They just got hand delivered

Re: blackburn game
 

Yes, I went to the store on Tuesday, only to be told they weren't ready. Just have to get them on Saturday :)

Re: blackburn game
 

Did they not take your address and say they would post them? they did with me

Re: blackburn game
 

got mine today

we have sold over a thousand, i was number 1014 at 4:30pm

altho the ticket doesnt say anything about which stand i am in, or even which supporters side :o

Re: blackburn game
 

Someone mentioned earlier in THIS thread that there is no segregation for any of the friendly's

Re: blackburn game
 

But wasn't that before the news that it was all ticket ?

Re: blackburn game
 

No, the message was posted yesterday and he had apparantly spoke to Eric the day before (Tuesday) We were told on the fishy site before then that it was all ticket, even though now when checking it shows as being posted there on Tuesday but that was an update I think

Re: blackburn game
 

but it says on your online ticket thingy, that away fans will be ejected for being in the home end


it will be rubbish if its not segregated fans will be dotted all over

Re: blackburn game
 

Don't get me wrong here, I hope it is segregated as it creates better atmosphere/banter, I was just going off the posting in the other thread.

Re: blackburn game
 

Segregated or not there wont be a problem I'm sure......must get down to Ewood TO and sharp!!:eek:

Re: blackburn game
 

yeh thats what i meant

because then you can have all fans singing at each other

Re: blackburn game
 

Thers someone on ebay selling a badge for this game and someone else is selling 25 programs from this game.... which is a neat trick considering they havent been made yet..

interest seems high but I think the all ticket will cut the crowd down.. people like to go on spare of moment..

Re: blackburn game
 

I think that it may well be segregated now.

Re: blackburn game
 

After the debacle last Saturday - it SHOULD be segregated as a matter of course. This will mean the stewards can get it right and have no worries. But before the match the clubhouse should be closed approximately 30 minutes prior to kick off and fans should be ushered out the side exit onto the car park then it could be re-opened after the match for the usual banter. Kipax, why do you think the gate will be down, when supposedly 2,000 are coming from Blackburn, I think we will easily get 4,000 on on Wednesday night - no problem. Tis is the early test for the system.

Re: blackburn game
 

go on then I am game.. what part of "people like to go spare of the moment" dont you follow... thats my reason for thinking it as I clearly stated.. I dont understand why your asking when I already said?

I agree I think we will easilly get 4000 as well

But if it was pay on night I htink we would get more..

Not that confusing is it mate :)

Re: blackburn game
 

im going in the stanley end :D ...i promise not to wear a rovers shirt though dont want diesel n the gang beating me up :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Re: blackburn game
 

BLACKBURN RAVER I could post a picture of you on here.. day before the game if ya like... that one of you with the pint or the one with the handbag...... sorry i mean shoulder bag.. or whatever it is :)

Re: blackburn game
 

yeah u can do iv'e nowt to hide and my pics are already in the gallery anyway :p

Re: blackburn game
 

nagh forget it... your too ugly :)

Re: blackburn game
 

cheeky git ;)

Re: blackburn game
 

All depends where he bought his ticket as the match is segregated as are all future matches.

Re: blackburn game
 

well if i said im in the accy end ...which end do you think i bought it for :confused: :dork:

Re: blackburn game
 

Where did you buy your ticket ?

Re: blackburn game
 

I ordered mine online a week ago, Nobody said anything about it been segregated. I don’t mind either way but my ticket better arrive soon and it better let in to the Clayton end.

Re: blackburn game
 

same place as every ****** else (if it has been bought yet, mates getting them ):rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Re: blackburn game

thats what my ticket looks like

i assume the ones accy are selling are EXACTLY the same

Re: blackburn game
 

As far as I know all the tickets for this game are the same, they don't specify which area of the ground they are for. Therefore, I don't think it will be segregated as in Rovers fans in one area and Stanley fans in another, it will just mean that whichever area of the ground you choose to go into that's where you will stay for the whole of the game.

Re: blackburn game
 

bah

thats not good for atmosphere terms :(

Re: blackburn game
 

Don't worry about the atmosphere - just leave it to the Accy fans to create that, you Rovers fans can just watch and learn :)

Re: blackburn game
 

The official site states that the ground will be segregated into three areas - Area 1 - The Clayton End and half the Whinney Hill Terrace
Area 2 - The Coppice End and half the Whinney Hill Terrace
Area 3 - The Seated Enclosure
Your ticket allows you to enter through the turnstiles any of these three areas but you will not be allowed to move to another area. Let's hope that everybody who has bought a ticket doesn't decide to go into the seated enclosure.

Re: blackburn game
 

so what happens about the people who want to go in the terrace and also have a drink?? has the bar arrived at the back of the clayton end yet?

Re: blackburn game
 

It hadn't last night.

Re: blackburn game
 

We now have a new turnstile monitoring system in place if the seating is full we'll just close the turnstile simple as.

As a Steward I would recommend that standing Blackburn fans go into the coppice terrace area and standing stanley fans go into the clayton terrace, the same facilities are available in both ( Bogs, Burger vans etc.) obviously for the friendlies the entire ground is mixed but this way will give you a bit more of an atmosphere for the banter etc.

Please be aware there will be no movement between enclosures allowed, so those who want a beer will have to sit down, or stand behind the goals and content with a cuppa!!! Last year we rightly recieved a lot of complaints from people who were sat down as they were paying their money like anyone else but only getting to see half of the match because of the constant traffic to and from the bar. This current arrangement solves this problem to a certain extent and more importantly complies to football league rules!!!

Re: blackburn game
 

The step up to league status now means that the ground is licenced only for segregation & no free movement will be allowed. This is a ruling under health & safety by Lancashire County Council who can close the ground down if this is not adhered to. There were early teething issues at the Burnley game but these have been addressed & Wednesday will be the start of how things will be done in future. As with league games when they commence, away fans will be ushered to one end- likely away fans the town end & part of the Whinney Hill stand with home fans at the Clayton end & main stand. Please do not berate us stewards for this as we are acting in accordance with the rules. Just get there as soon as possible & ensure you get into the part of the ground that meets your needs. There is only the one bar in the club house & it is a criminal offence to take alcohol onto the ground or be in an inebriated state on it. I hope that common sense dictates a good spirit as in prior encounters and we all can enjoy a good game regardless of the outcome, Friendly is the main associated word! Enjoy.

Re: blackburn game
 

This sounds fine, Al. It's good to hear that the club is taking a professional, no-nonsense approach to league status. However, can I just ask one question - how long will us Clayton Enders have to endure "dry" half-times for, before the bar is finally installed?

Re: blackburn game
 

I don't think thats a question for us stewards and fans I think thats a question for the club

Space has been left behind each stand for the inclusion of a 'bar' portacabin, however I suspect its somewhat down to the logistics of having people to man it.

Re: blackburn game
 

Yep you're right, Sparkie. Any news for us dedicated drinkers, Rob?

Re: blackburn game
 

Well, I'm working the turnstiles, and have experience with pulling pints, so wouldn't be a problem for me to offer some help behind the bar.

Re: blackburn game
 

yeah but you can't do both at the same time.

Re: blackburn game
 

I rather think that it will be cans and plastic glasses in the bars behind the terraces.

Re: blackburn game
 

Rome wasn't built in a day but rest assured that drink = profit that will help the club develop- so can only be a matter of time. As Sparkie said that answer really lies with the powers that be at the club-over to you Rob.

Re: blackburn game
 

:eek: Portacabin! Bloody hell. I hope we’re getting a beer garden to go with it, have you seen the size of some of these guys at the Clayton End. I’m a short arse; I’ll need to stand on a box to see the bloody bar.
<O:p
Moving on. How are we doing with collecting memorabilia for our Portacabin? Sorry, Bar? :)

Re: blackburn game
 

Exactly.. bars = profit and they will arrive well before any roof that doesnt = profit.... not hard to work out :)

Re: blackburn game
 

Plastic glasses will be the order of the day as Glass is not allow on a football ground, also I would think you would only be allowed to drink in the bar itself as alcohol is not allowed on the terraces is any form.

I managed to collect quite a little stash last season from terrace drinkers, cans, bottles and even half a bottle of teachers whisky from a kind hearted away fan. We always tell people they can pick them up at the end of the game but they never do.

Re: blackburn game
 

on with the bars now, unfortunately everything else took priority as it had to be in place before the burnley game, however as it has been pointed out, beer sales are an important part of matchday income and something that we will be making sure is sorted out as soon as possible!

Re: blackburn game
 

Have alook at the Rovers forum - the're s******g themselves over the possibility of their pampered pansies getting injured!
How condescending can you get? They can't conceive of the possibility that we have skilful players who also might get injured!

Re: blackburn game
 

Finally, somebody else has seen Rovers fans for what they truly are :D
