Blackburn v Villa CC 1st leg Match thread

[Burt]

Fucl me, League Cup semi-final and the ground looks half empty!!!

We didnt sell out until AFTER the original game was rearranged - against THEM ffs. Had we not been playing U***d, we would have been nowhere near full - bad time to be paying out £100 on tickets just after xmas

I think that it's safe to say that if we were playing VIlla that we get a tad more thank 18k though don't ya think mate?

[london blue 2]

BB are horribly poor :( I actually feel a bit sorry for their fans.

[simon12]

Ye theres a fair few empty seats but looks more than 11k..Id say nearer 18k
Bright start by B/burn but they have started to let Villa come back into it.

18k for a semi? Joke club.

Villa have only half the stand we usually fill? You`d think burnblack would be switched on and give them all of it or are villa shit fans and returned tickets?

Yeah, I've got a mate who is a really nice lad who's a Rovers fan and he's really despondent with Big Fat Sam and the footie that he's got em playin. Not being funny but he says that he's ave leslie back in a heartbeat and I agree with him. Hope Rovers get to the final just for my mate but they are very dire to watch as we all saw against us on Monday:o(

Blackburn have done well to concede one so far and nearly level then!

Hahaha.
I edited my post to say hes got the heart condition so thats why hes sat down in 1st half....
To be fair to BB they are havin a good fookin go this half..Hit the post twice and Villa keeper has made good saves.

[Original Dub]

Blackburn have been very unlucky second half IMO.

Hit the post twice and Kalinic is causing havoc.

IWe'll do either of these cunts in the final, I'm confident of that. For a safer bet, I'd take Blackburn obviously, but for a better final, give me Villa every day of the week.

It may sound like I think we're already through to the final... that's because there's absolutely no doubt in my mind that we are.

[BoltFromTheBlue]

Dunne special anyone?

[Original Dub]

Dunne special anyone?

I'd take a "Dunne special" that he's known well for around here right now....

Unfortunately, what we're getting is a Dunne special that he's known around the prem for... ie rock solid defending!

[shawzy]

Game over.Cant see BB winning the replay by 2 clear goals..Villa in the final for me.

[lets all have a disco]

18 FUCKING THOUSAND FOR A SEMI FINAL.

JOKE CLUB,DONT DESERVE TO BE IN THE SEMI.

[shawzy]

I was guessing at 18,000 and i cant find stats but i found this on Daily Mail website:
Blackburn have only sold 11,000 tickets for tonight's clash and the 5,000 travelling fans point out the sparse nature of the home support via a chant that is wholly unrepeatable here.

18,595

They were saying in the paper they were "hopeful" of getting 20,000

FFS, what a bunch of fucking losers. Some of you may remember the dilemma I have with my step son and his dad, his dad the ex-blackburn st holder from the glory days who is trying to bring his son up a blackburn fan, but goes himself and takes his son maybe once a season whenever he gets a free ticket, yet even though he cant be arsed taking his son, objected to me buying Josh a ST this year.

Thats the sort of cunts who support Blackburn, and unfortunately for the little lad, I asked his dad to take him to the semi tonight and never got an answer. This week, as ive been away the Mrs (ex-glory hunting backburn st holder) used my season ticket and went to city for the first time to watch their beloved Blackburn get torn a new arsehole and they both loved it. Next week he is going to not just a cup semi-final, but his first derby.

I can only see this going one way from here, I think i'm slowly converting the little feller. But back to the point, Blackburn could have these kids as lifelong supporters - its the fucking parents (my mrs included) who are bone idle gloryhunting twats

[walmai]

Well - for the good of the game as a spectacle - I am pleased that Blackburn are unlikely to get to the final.

Empty seats at Wembley would be a bit of a shame all told.
