Apart from an allergic reaction to the location it would be worth going for the 7th May game :)

Surely they should be paying the fans to watch that rubbish?

After Wigan's demolition of MUFC, Liverpool and Arsenal, BRFC must be shaking in their boots that the mighty WAFC will be turning up in their back yard. I for one would love to go and watch that match, assuming it does not clash with any ASFC games. If it does, Accy wins for me everytime.

No need to risk the allergy flaring up Dave, the Wigan game's live on the tele so you can watch from a safe distance :D

Er, i'm a bit "basic" when it comes to computers as you've probably guessed!:lamer::rolleyes:

Anyway, i reckon they're after poaching our fans one way or another. Folk keep saying that their season tickets are "a lot cheaper than ours", but they don't mention that they get 4 games less.:rolleyes:...and you can't stand up either!!;)

I've seen Rovers ads on Accyweb before now. Understandable from Accyweb's point of view, as running a site like this costs money and they have to take any advertising revenue that's offered. As for the chicken farmers, they don't give a toss about us and I don't give a toss about them.

I don't think we wil be cheaper Mab maybe as a walk on possibly?

An area that could be advertised in though to help boost crowd numbers at the Crown Ground?

we may not be cheaper (significantly) than Rovers next season, but if they don't go straight back up you can bet your last chicken drumstick that their prices will rocket in their second Championship campaign.

Prepare the party .....

Where will it be promoted given the fact that neither the Clarets or Rovers wil have a game that day?

Good point, Google Page Ranking. Well worth a few posters in Accy, but how about in Ossy, Church, Clayton etc? In fact, would it be worth putting up posters and handing out leaflets along the lines of "Have a change this weekend - come and watch football in the old-fashioned way - standing terraces etc" in the heart of enemy territory - Blackburn and Burnley town centres?

Pendle Red 20-04-2012 11:55

Re: They're after our fans!
 
Well I wil do my bit behind enemy lines if someone from the Club contacts me with a poster.

I will put them up in two workplaces with over 800 hundred employees.

ASFC News Story > 4703

Are tickets only available from the Ground or can people pay on the gate?

This Dalai Lama gadgie, does he do construction work too ? If he can, get him to have a look at the changing rooms while he's at it ! :D

Re: They're after our fans!
 
Right, sod chickens, I prefer vultures! ;)

I heard at the weekend about two Rovers season ticket holders who are not going to renew their tickets if the Venkys are still in charge and have said they will come up the Stanley instead.

Do we reckon we are about to reap a "chicken dividend" of disllusioned Roverites preferring to spend their Saturday afternoons at the Crown and should the club be exploiting the situation by promoting itself in this direction?

It might just be the right time to take stock of the situation and see if you can curry favour with the Rovers fans, you just need to cluck up courage to ask them :D

I'm just worried it might be seen as fowl play.

A mate of mine is a life-long Rovers fan (who knows people in high places), and he's seriously expecting liquidation and a restart as FC Rovers of Blackburn in the Northern Premier. Apparently it's much, much, much worse than anyone thinks ......................

Can it really be any worse than admit you have a mate who is a lifelong Rovers fan ?

Yep - if they fall off the perch.

Re: They're after our fans!
 
Said it before a key area for season ticket sales or maybe some kind of cheaper price for possibly the first game of the season sort of try before your buy scenario, if it puts a hundred on a gate at a Tenner a pop it's a grand in the hand and if you convert some along the the way all the better.

Footy so real you can practically smell it

How about a season ticket promotion for along the lines of half price season ticket if you present your Rover's ticket from 2011/2012 ?

Get them locked in whilst they're mad.

As in, "You don't have to be mad to support Stanley but it helps"? ;)

Seriously, I think it's a great idea, but you'd probably get some existing ST holders whinging about having to pay full, while ex-Rovers fans paid half.

Alvin the chipmunk 09-05-2012 17:54

Re: They're after our fans!
 
Perhaps ST holder could be re-imbursed in different ways. Free tickets for JPT games, money off in the shop, free pint every home game etc. :)

Good idea, Alvin. I reckon the club should start thinking about how to attract disaffected Rovers fans.
