Tuesday night so means 2 half days for me and it’s too early in 2023 to take them when I have already used quite a few for the summer.

Gutting but hoping for a good result here. Rovers are shite and have been since the World Cup break so are there for the taking

Have you never thought of ringing in sick?😉🤷
 
I can go now but cant make the ticket office tomorrow to pick the tickets up. I’m hoping It’s pay on gate. I’m sure it was last year when we went
 
I was gonna go on the coach but it's full, can't understand why the club are only running one coach

Ts Footie they don’t give a toss about the fans
I went to Orient last Tues v Rochdale - because I didn’t have my ticket on me they wouldn’t let me in the bar ‘but the ground (normally the away bar) as I must have been an away fan’ - I said I just wanted a pint after work “No ticket,No Entry !’
seriously the bouncers did not even know whom Orient were playing let alone which County they were in

The treatment of footie fans is a joke - I am amazed half the teams in the EFL haven’t died because of petty rules
 
Just read a comment on the Rovers MB being critical of us selling only 1500 tickets! A bit rich when they only got 12,500 for their game against Swansea on Saturday! They are 7th and level on points with Sunderland and Millwall. I would love it if we stuffed them on Tuesday and Poveda will be well up for it!
 
Just about to fly back to Malaga.
Went Saturday….well we got the 3 points and that’s all that matters😀
I’ll be watching the match on TTV👍
Hope everyone who travels has a great evening…..don’t care how we play, it’s all about points🤞🤞🤞🧡🧡🧡

There was basically 500 Swansea there so 12k home fans.

We had just shy of 10k home fans at the weekend, rock bottom of the league after a terrible season and at 30 quid.

They charged 25 quid for the Swansea game.

If we were in a similar position to them pushing for the playoffs, charging a flat 25 for the game, we wouldn't be that far away from that.

That's despite the club being damaged over many years and still lots of growing of the fanbase to do, complete the stadium etc. We're still miles behind other clubs in that respect.

So not a lot to brag about there is there.
 
There seems to be a general view from our Lancashire neighbours that they're big clubs compared to us, but it just isn't true at all. For much of the last thirty years we've been kept unnecessarily in the bottom two leagues by shocking owners, whereas Rovers have enjoyed long periods in the top league, including a Premier League title, by an owner that was the absolute polar opposite of what we've had to endure. Yet here we are, only around 2k difference, when we're bottom and hadn't won in months.
As a side note, it makes me laugh when PNE/Rovers complain about their owners - they've absolutely no idea at all what a bad owner is. Not a clue.

There really isn't much to choose between any of the Lancashire clubs. Burnley and Blackburn have both had many years in the Prem. If you put them in the same position as us, their attendances wouldn't be that much different. I don't count Wigan and Fleetwood in that equation. Even Bolton didn't sell out every home game in the Prem and could offer much bigger away allocations. Nobbers like to think they are massive but when you compare how many they took to Wembley and the number of discount/free tickets, they aren't that far ahead. Plus again, they can offer away teams a far bigger allocation, well to most teams!

You only get the support you do due the fact all under 11s FREE. Cheap season Tickets at least £100 cheaper than ours. Adults sneaking in on under 11s tickets. Free tickets have been given on certain games
Wait till next season when the season ticket prices go up to say £380 and see how many buy one and also over 5s to 11 pay for season tickets

I don’t think next season will matter what price it is,, it’s the shit we’re playing that will make the difference.

Plenty of clubs if they'd been in the Championship the length of time you lot have been there.
 
Another couple here that have decided to POTG tomorrow. If we get close to 3000 it’s not bad for a night game when we’re 23rd in the league.

Don’t talk out of ur arse the only reason u sold the amount of season tickets this season is down to the cost

I think it’s you talking out of your arse, of course sold more season tickets cause of the price but still averaged around 10,000 home fans after 60 years of being in lower league.
 
I'm sure somebody once put the ST sales at the nobbers for like the last 10 years or something. They always averaged about 8.5k season tickets until this season. Funny that 🤔

Anyway, if somebody does have that table it would be interesting to see.
