Be interesting to see how many we take with it being a 5.30 kick off on TV. Blackburn have moved home fans out of the Darwen End this season so every visiting team gets the whole end if they need it.
Hopefully they price it around £20 with it being on the box and we can take 5k+?

The late kick off has put me off so I've got two spare references if anyone wants them.

I've been wondering. What do you do in the summer - go to Edgbaston and count the empty seats?

Have you been following me? Thought my secret was safe.

I'll be going with my mate (both on away scheme), however if anyone has a spare ref they could pm me I would be very grateful. Hoping to bring my gf too.

There’ll be more than enough tickets to go around for this one. Just a shame the trains are so expensive

I don't think anyone will need ref's for this one but i am at Finals day at Edgbaston on this day so i have one available if someone wants to play safe.

1300 sold

Has this really sold out already?

They sell them in blocks, so SO3 and SO4 had definitely sold a few days ago.

Looking at it, either all the lower tier has gone and they will activate the upper once Blackburn have confirmed it's availability or one of the lower tier blocks needs activating.

Season ticket holders and general sale are the two surge categories.

We've only sold 1800.

Not surprised if you couldn't buy a ticket online with the category change. Seems odd that the system isn't designed to open up space automatically when it's needed.

Anyway, the next block has opened up so you can purchase now as a season ticket holder, even if you couldn't from 5 last night.

Somehow we've shifted 800 after that debacle. Expect it to sell out on general sale now.

You think we'll take 5000? If we got rid of Bruce I reckon we would as we'd have a new manager buzz. Saw loads on Twitter saying they won't buy a ticket for this unless he's sacked. We'll take around 3500 imo.

We'll sold 800 in the two days since so I don't see why not.

Let the drama llamas on Twitter sound off, it's a platform for mouth breathers anyway.

My mate old me on the way back from Sheffield that he wasn't going away again until Bruce is gone.

I saw him on Sunday and he'd calmed down again and was discussing Millwall with me (I'm away for Bristol & Blackburn)

I think it was an understandable knee jerk reaction after that shambles but at some point, the crowd will turn in numbers, both home and away.

After Saturdays performance no wonder. Can't see this selling out. I'm even missing this one as rather go to Finals day at Edgbaston.
Is that heresy.

I would have gone if they hadn't fucked about with the kick off. The idea of being crammed onto the same train as thousands of others doesn't appeal.

WMPolice were saying on Twitter the other day that trains are only running to Preston and that there is no Preston - Blackburn transport arranged.
Not sure of exact detail so worth checking out for those going by train.
Title: Re: Blackburn Away
Post by: QuintonVilla on September 13, 2018, 11:54:03 AM
Up to 3900 now
Title: Re: Blackburn Away
Post by: Ads on September 13, 2018, 10:04:24 PM
4000 now I'd say, given there's only 30 odd available if the released amount.

That's a really good following.

I agree. Only Leeds in this division would take more than that in the same circumstances, on TV, same distance etc.
