Come on then!!!! Who’s buzzing for this one? It feels like a biggeee after today!

Turn up and get behind the lads and, touch wood, we’ll be one step closer to promotion!

Chuffed for the lads today and our brilliant fans who get behind them. Been a difficult 10 days, but we’ve dug in.

Let’s stick together. My first trip to Ewood Park with my partner in crime William Carey . No bed wetters here, unless we win and I have too many slurps.

Any tips about parking, pubs & food appreciated. UTB.
 

There are 8 sections
We have the front four sections SO1, SO2, SO3, and SO4

Days gone by all 8 sections wouldn't have been enough, but the speed at which our club allocates and sells tickets means there's no chance of the other four sections becoming available

7.5k wouldn't have been enough for a 12.30 tv game? In which days gone by was this then? It's absolutely nothing to do with how the club sell them, there's an order like every other club. If we were top there was a potential to fill it for a 3pm game, but a couple of losses the negativity strikes in and there's still a full block on the lower tier left, but after today, everyone's happy again and I would imagine the 4k allocation will just about sell out.
 
Last visit to Ewood was the 0-0 where a win would have put us up, penultimate game of the season. Cracking atmosphere for a night match. Had a cracking pre match with locals in the Stop and Rest Pub sadly now gone for good. Safe travels and bring the points home all going.

Early kick off after a big cup game in the week. Little time to recover and travelling. Anel suspended. You'd assume others will still be tired following Spurs. A draw would be a great result.

Agree, Will take a big effort to get something. I'll never not want United to win games but the Spurs game will definitely hinder us on Saturday. Luckily they have a game Tuesday though

I’m in. Buzzing. If we’d lost badly today and Boro had stormed it I’d have considered not going. But now I’m so up for it it’s frightening.

I've been in a crowd of 7500 Blades at Blackburn for a NIGHT MATCH

It's everything to do with the way they're sold

The highest loyalty points holders fuck about and take forever to choose,

They wait for their family and mates who have less loyalty points so they can buy together.

This slows sales down and makes it appear that there's lower demand, the increased allocation whenever available never materialises because the loyalty points holders fuck about so much.

The club should have a loyalty points system, but instead of all this pissing about with 50,000 + on Monday and Tuesday and 40,000 on Wednesday, get the tickets sold to anybody with 10000+

If a 50,000 loyalty points holder pisses about thinking he's more entitled.... tough.

Get the tickets sold, immediately, and then see about increased allocations at stadiums where it's possible.

Our loyalty points system is the only one which slows sales down, which is what the idle twats in the ticket office want. But after 15 years it has created horrendous turnouts in a lot of our away games compared with days gone by

But surely the minute they go on general sale we should then sell out instantly which would then mean we could get further allocations? We haven't done this for Blackburn so it seems to me that demand is not high enough. Im not against youre idea by the way, not sure it would make a difference but could definitely give it a go and see, I expected there to be a lot more demand for this game as its gonna be the last close one at a weekend everyone can go too. The 55k plus loyalty points will snap up Huddersfield, Burnley and Birmingham in no time. Reading and Sunderland are midweek, Norwich has train strikes unless it gets moved too and even if it didn't it will reach general sale with ease.
 
I’ll be looking for a bar in Glasgow that is showing it prior to heading off to Partick Thistle v Raith Rovers, which is my idea of taking the missus away for a romantic weekend.

Two coach tickets to Blackburn available. £25 each. Going from Little Mester in North Anston.

It's the loyalty points system that sends the tickets to general sale in my opinion

Starting at 10000 loyalty points and getting them sold would see most allocations never get to general sale


 
 

Let's hope for a repeat of the game at the Lane this season. Their players couldn't get near the ball and looked thoroughly sick of it after 30 minutes.
