Great day out even though we lost the match.

We drew one all. I was there.

So was I. Could have sworn we lost.

Didn't Svensson score an equaliser ?

Blackburn fans on twitter are almost as nauseating as Wednesday fans. Take no notice.

Changed my mind. Let them have tickets.

£170.50 a seat with complimentary pie and pint*. Free program to remember their day out in London.

*(portion of 15 chips extra)

I am sure they will appreciate that there are extra costs involved with stewarding mixed stands, plus of course the recent rise in the minimum wage.

Together with the heightened state of security we are experiencing at the moment and the price of new potatoes I am sure they would all understand.

Haha...classy! Didn’t realise Blackburn were so well supported these days. Just checked and they got 13k at home against Southend the other week. We are well and truly in their shadow.

Their average attendance is 587 better than ours... In a Stadium thats 4,256 bigger than ours

So when you put it into context...

- Blackburn on average have filled 38% of their Ground their season
- Charlton on average have filled 42% of their Ground...

Or to put it another way, if we had anything approaching a competent owner, even if they weren't spending any money, we wouldn't have any boycotters, and therefore in a season where our form has been very up and down we'd have a bigger attendance than the team who've been challenging at the top of the table all season.

They couldn't fill Ewood when they were winning the premier league, so they have zero right to have a pop at any clubs' attendances ever in my book.

who does % of ground fill , on that basis millsmall have had better percentages than us for a while and wimbledon and other pissy clubs

anyway if you took out away attendances at charlton and blackburn the difference would be even bigger our home support has been decimated by this twunt of an owner

cazo

Come down and bye in home areas so we all can have some fun lower or upper north looking forward to seeing you all.coyr for sat can't wait now.Portsmouth that is.

oohaahmortimer

if roles were reversed how much crying would we be doing if blackburn didn't open up their ground to us
except they'll never be reversed unless we have a freebie /operation ewood style , oh yeah they did open up to us for an important relegation fixture but let's forget about that

Yet then Burton will always have a lower attendance than the rest of the Championship clubs.

Makes a joke of those stats that get released as they only ever paint one picture

E_cafc

The difference is that Charlton fans weren't in segregated "Home Stands". Blackburn fans would have to be put in either the east stand or west stand or even both.

If our season was over it would be completely different. It is not even the last game of the season.

Bournemouth and Burnley were different because of this. Until that fat lady gets given a microphone and a song sheet there are games to be played.

more chance of them going with the chicken fuckers hanging around - possibly one of the most awful places i have visited and ive been there 3 times! possibly the coldest ive ever been at a football match think it was in december a few years back remember there were really bad floods.

Total lack of class compared to their better neighbours Burnley.

Weird. Hospitality in home areas, then have to wander around to the JS stand (presumably they held back a few tickets?)

"Seats in the away stand"..... we can watch them march round the pitch to be sat behind a Seed pillar.

I hope they don't go up, just to have a laugh when Accrington turn them over next season.

Weird. How can they be seated in the "away stand" if they've sold all the tickets ?? Methinks the "away stand" could well be the end section of the West.

Also, a "Charlton Legend" will be their host. I bet they'll love that. Darren Pitcher or Claus Jensen would be my bet !!!

the above says I can buy on-line but I can't. Rang to ask but they are on half-day.

I can - it will sell me multiple tickets in my name but none for my other half, even though she’s been identified as a ticket holder numerous times this season. No idea of the logic behind that.

On the bright side, I finally learned you can chose a seat on your mobile by turning it landscape, just not holding it portrait. No instructions or user guide, you just have to work it out for yourself. Weird.

It wouldn't let me buy any yesterday, even though I have bought around 20 so far this season, all under my name.

I wonder whether my conversation yesterday had anything to do with it as the ticket office agreed with me that no tickets were available on-line.

Said no one ever before this moment lol

For a team going for automatic promotion there are a lot of empty seats at Ewood Park tonight. Never been a well supported club, and now they are in Burnley's shadows. Shame.

They all live in London - that’s why they want more tickets for next Saturday

Probably better for Blackburn to win this, so they are closer to automatic promotion & less interested in the game against Charlton. Also Peterborough with chance of the play offs. making good runs but crap end up product. Lots of players looking to make names for themselves on live TV.

vff

Peterborough deservedly ahead. Blackburn defence unsettled by people running at them. They got very muddled near half time with a mix up nearly giving away a second half. Mulgrew put in an excellent cross but has had a bit of a mare defensively, & could have conceeded a penalty as well.

Blackburn manager will likely give the team a kick up the ass half time, so Blackburn likely to be better. Peterborough up to 6th, 1 point behind Charlton. Its close up the top from 5th to 9th & Bradford at 10th if they win their game at hand.

2nd half - Peterborough good going forward but half a glass jjaw defensively. A defensive slip makes it easy for Dack 1-1.

Rovers equalise.

What is it with our club.? They normally put away fans who have hospitality in the West stand which upsets the home fans. Now they are going to be in the North stand lounge which will be even worse and may cause confrontation and possibly worse.
