Rovers heading for a full house on Saturday. Good to see them sticking to their principles about Venkies!

They only abandon their poxy boycott when
A) a big club comes to town - United in the FA cup.
Or
B) A whiff of success of some sort.
They will be next seasons Bolton.

We had more than that.. We sat down outside before the game and Teasdale just laughed at everyone. Crap Frank or was he Crapper Frank.. Lots of protest In the 4th division, some turned ugly with the friendly local constabulary. But some good day's to be had back then.

Yes I was a Teasdale out member ...and earlier years vowed never to return when they sold taffy and dobbo and built a stand! Prior to that others boycotted turf moor on the sale of jimmy mac to stoke. At the end of the day the frustrations of how a football club is run boil over ....but we are no different to Arsenal Everton and Blackburn fans.

When you say full house, does that include the previously closed upper sections?
Not bothered personally, asking for a friend.

It’s as low as £2 per ticket to entice parents to take kids.
The Blackburn End upper has now been opened. This is their version of an open top bus parade, with cheap ticket to entice their fans back.
They’ve never seen a proper boycott there. They just stopped going because their team was crap, like all clubs. The excuses have been funny listening to though.
