[16bha]

That is shit support.....

 

[Garage_Doors]

So what

 

[GoldWithFalmer]

Nothing new to them..

 

[bn1&bn3 Albion]

Blackburn had been playing Arsenal every season for the last 11 years. It's not as big of a game as it would have been for us. Plus we all know they don't travel that well anyway..

thats crap

 

[Baron Pepperpot]

That is shit support.....

why ?

 

[Deleted member 18477]

I'm not surprised. They're f***ing DOGSHIT to watch.

 

[GingerBeerMan]

thats crap

Any idea how many Arsenal took to Blackburn?

 

[The Buttery Biscuit Base]

Don't forget that around Lancashire is one of the poorest areas in the country with some of the highest unemployment, so while we down here can afford to buy train tickets and then pay £35-40 tickets to watch football, people up north cannot. I think we forget that living down here.

 

[Peever]

1400 to a fixture that on paper they should have gotten tonked in? I say more of a credit to those who went.....

 

[saltash seagull]

There Twitter has been Tweeting that they sold out

[surrey jim]

I thought that post was spot on.

thats crap

How many would you consider they need to take to be an acceptable figure

 

[Notters]

Blackburn is the size of Eastbourne.

 

[kevo]

Had to laff at one of the threads on their forum recently which asked the question 'Are we a bigger club than Leeds?'. Erm, no.

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

The longer Blackburn are distracted by the cup, the better.

f*** me, it isn't that bad.

Fair play to the fans that turned up, what a result for them. We're all fans together at the end of the day and although their misfortune is of their own making it just proves what an unpredictable sport football is

 

[Acker79]

-Played them at least twice a year for 17 of the last 19 seasons
-Many fans are protesting the venkys and the way they run the club
-they had an away game on the south coast four days earlier where they didn't exactly play an attractive style
-not the most affluent area of the country
-expecting a tonking
-not had a great season

 

[8ace]

Didn't Blackburn bring more fans to the Amex than we took to Ewood
