Attendance Thread - Blackburn Rovers


On safc.com I tried to click on Blackburn tickets and it says the event is in the past and will not allow me to select a ticket.

Catching up with last night’s pissed up fun and games….

There’s something mad buried deep in the dna of some of our fans. A chromosome that makes some fans desperate to be negative about SAFC no matter how positively things are going. A sort of ‘Embleton’s goal at Wembley was shit, the keeper should have saved it’. ‘That’s the last we’ve seen of Stewart, bookmark this, he’s away’ mentality. They’re absolutely desperate to come up with something negative. For Christ’s sake man - lighten up!!!!!

For anyone to say ANYTHING negative about a crowd which looks likely to hit 46k in the Championship, a crowd which will be 10000+ more than any other club in the league gets for any game this season and will be higher than the attendance of 7 of the 9 PL clubs is bat shit crazy. For it to come from our own support is on the fringes of requiring medical help.
Surely, any SAFC supporter appreciates that the area is one where there is a considerable net influx of people over the festive period and that people will have been given tickets as gifts? If any one of them gets the ‘bug’ as a consequence of going tomorrow that in itself is a huge positive.

Absolutely spot on. I’d say that in relation to our failures and struggles and the lies and mistruths we’ve endured our support is as good as any in world football. 50-60k at Wembley in May for a league one play off final, nigh on league average of 40k this season, 44-46k tomorrow. This not long after two successive relegations and four years in league one and the shit that’s in living memory like the 19 and 15 point seasons, constant relegation fights, Short, Moyes, Byrne, Bain, Grayson, Methven, Donald (attempted kidnappings!🙈) Parkinson, Johnson etc etc and here we all still are with an attendance that’ll make the fans of most Premier League fans go ‘fcuk me’ look at that crowd at Sunderland, half way up the second tier and three wins in eleven home matches, they’re mental that lot’.
