Blackburn allocation (24 Viewers)

[skyblue025]

What points are we looking at needing to get a ticket with over 7k of an allocation?

I'd be amazed if it didn't make general sale.

If promotion can be won that day I would expect it to reach ST only and not make general.

If it looks like it could be a day of consequence there isn't a hope in hell it reaches non-STHs. Which is gutting as I have already booked a Premier Inn room (thankfully a flexible one which can be cancelled).

Home end, surely

Home end, surely

Not sure I could that unless there are hundreds of us in there.

Think you’ll need a purchase history to get home tickets. May be worth setting up an account with Blackburn and buying a ticket for their next match.

Ewood Park holds 31K according to Wiki yet they only get about 10K home fans every week. Just fuck them all into the away end and give us the rest of the stadium.

Depends a lot on when it's actually played and whether there is any chance we can clinch the title by winning that fixture. At the moment it is a Saturday 3pm game but that may change for TV.

My plan was to get a ticket by the away end and just leg it over

Big up the E04 massive

U21 tickets £5 and count as previous purchase?

 

[higgs]

Is it one ticket per person for an away game?

yes

Blackburn would be mad not to give us extra room as a one off. We could basically sell as many as they would give us for a promotion party

Blackburn would probably be happy for the money - But I am sure the local police force and SAG would have their objections to that

Kettle us in for an extra three house while we celebrate

It makes sense, it stops people buying in the home end and Blackburn's home support at the minute is pretty dire so there will be the room

But it is unrealistic - If roles were reversed and a club was coming to the CBS and potentially getting promoted, the SAG wouldn't be able to say no quick enough

People will be able to find a way in the Blackburn end if they really cannot get a ticket and if they keep it on the downlow instead of plastering it on social media they will be fine and slip under the radar

Also worth noting, if you have even done a handful of away games this season if it is an allocation of 7000 you should have zero worries getting a ticket the legitimate way in the away end

I remember late 1970's when we officially gave Man U the entire kop end as their allocation for a league game.
Obviously far easier to police and in different times (pre H&S at sporting events) Although to be fair, that was probably the first genuine example of an act of H&S at a football ground.

If we can promoted in this game we could easily take 10k, fans will be everywhere

I'd doubt it - Not unless BRFC operate a POG policy - Which in all fairness given their low attendances, is a distinct possibility.
I'd imagine new applications for tickets for our visit would be cancelled.

 

[Liquid Gold]

On their website you can buy tickets to an U21 game for £5

Could be worthwhile to get a purchase history.

We gave Forest the entire Kop as well in 1978, they clinched the league title with a 0 v 0 draw and Shilton played a blinder.

We didn't give them the whole kop. It was pay on the gate and they simply brought loads of fans that took over that end. There were some City fans in the kop that day, even if they were outnumbered.

That’s how I remember it.
Same with the Bristol City 2-2 the season before.

Hmm. Bad memories of when Villa decided to stand in front of the scoreboard area for one match.
