Those two paragraph bled into one as I read them and I thought you were saying Blackburn were playing attractive attacking football and comparing steve kean to poyet and martinez. I had to re-read it.

For a game that was postponed from the week before due to the Carling Cup 1/4 at Old Trafford.
2 weeks notice, means no cheap trains, not easy to book A/L etc.
As for a shorter distance, it's not that different. 1/2 hour difference on a train. Not much in it by car to get to the M25.
Anyway, you should have higher away attendances. You haven't been to most of these grounds in the last 6 years. It's new to the JCLs. We've seen them year in, year out!

Not true. Have you seen that trophy? It must be the tackiest looking piece of tinfoil ever moulded into the shape of a trophy. I appreciate that the Premier League was a new inception etc. and the trophy had no history to it as such, but could they really not have made more of an effort? And don't get me started about that ridiculous crown on top. If BHAFC ever come within touching distance of winning that piece of shit I shall join Crystal Palace's red and blue army, thus swelling their away support to 145 for league games and 51 for FA Cup games.

Tell me you are joking? They're a bankrolled second tier club as stated above. The population of Blackburn is 100k. The population of Brighton and Hove alone is 250k, not to mention the rest of Sussex. Our potential (yes that wonderful word 'potential') outstrips theirs by a country mile.
That`ll be it then. Valentines day is huge in Derbyshire.

And what about us, we were bankrolled by Knight and Co at Withdean (where we were making big loses every season) and only have the Amex because it has been bankrolled by Bloom.
If they hadn't done that, do you seriously think we would be having discussions about possibly making the Premier League? Or would we be in Div 2 or worse with no realistic prospects of ever reaching the top flight again?

We didnt. It was the season after when we were struggling. Gall and Meade were the scorers. It was 91-92.

Although I can see your point, doesn't the fact they are pulling in crowds of 20,000+ mean that there is more of a taste for the game up there. Based on the figures we have, that would mean 1 in 5 Blackburnians was heading to Ewood for home games. Brighton with 250k+ and Sussex with 750k+ and we've still had to pack our ground out with JCLs.
And don't even get me started on the number of peop,e who pull on their Chelsea/Spurts/Arsenal/ManUre shirts on Saturday mornings and get the Victoria train from Brighton/Eastbourne/Hastings/Worthing etc.

what about the JCL's who are taking their's off To come to the Amex every other week
And 5000 and 4000 for Carling Cup games
Speaking of travelling support.
Millwall had 100 at Leeds. Who then made arses of themselves asking "Where's your Gary Speed?" and "Su-i-cide"

I'm not surprised to be honest, majority of the Blackburn faithful want Kean out and are going to start voting with their feet untill he is sacked. Which aint going to happen under the Venkys regime, so the faithful are going have to put up or shut up about their protests for his head. Because by the sounds of things, there could be another disaster waiting to happen with their Indian Board, and that is players not getting paid in February? So having no manager and a dodgy board, could spell disastrous things for Blackburn in the coming months!
And 5000 and 4000 for Carling Cup games
It'll be funny to see the dramatic rise in your home attendance vs Cardiff compared to the crowds vs Crawley, Southampton and M'boro

And it's all gone quiet..
I think you'll find I corrected myself later on. I heard that you only took 144 to Barnsley. Is that correct?
