Probably be there in the fernhurst though after much soul searching. Just asking this out of curiosity....but does the potential outcome of a game dictate as to whether you would go and watch it? Hoping this is another one of those Leeds away days we enjoyed about 10yrs ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBigDog Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 I reckon there will be more Latics fans at Rochdale than at Blackburn ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
League one forever Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Keep with two up top? It’s a must for me. I think if we play with one up front, and sit in we’re in trouble. Oddly though, when we were doing well early doors RW kept saying he didn’t like two up top but Doyle and Davies form meant he had to. We then went one up front, and started struggling. I hope he he sticks to what wins him games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t support Oldham if that was the case. I usually go to matches on my own these days due largely to a lack of interest from those I used to go with. So sometimes the effort involved in going and one or two other factors sometimes outweigh the desire to attend. I’ll be there on Saturday.

AnthonyOAFC Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 I used to know someone who worked at Blackburn and got us cheap tickets. Went vs Newcastle one year. Got us pitch side before the game and I was lucky enough to get Bobby Robson's autograph. If I remember rightly, Blackburn used to have a drummer and used to create a brilliant atmosphere. Can't imagine what it's like now though. Hopefully we'll get 2k+ there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know if this was aimed at just the poster or open for anyone to answer, but.... Blackburn on Saturday - no. Wouldn't miss it for the world. Along with City, Leeds and, to a lesser extent, United - this was one of THE big games when I first started going properly. In fact, I'm pretty sure it was my first away game on the train with my mates (rather than on Barlows or with my dad) aged 14 in 89/90. In the unlikely event we're still in the same league 2 or 3 years from now I'd still be very likely to be there regardless, but, if things were particularly shit and/or I had something else on I might not be... I tend to go to more away games when we're decent or half decent than I do when we're absolute dogshit. I also like to always get a London away in, or two, for the day out regardless of how well or badly we're playing. I've never done a full season and probably never will (or want to). Closest I ever came was missing 5 aways in 90/91. I reckon the year we finally get promoted, or close, will be the one where I notch my biggest away game tally since the good old days though....

If the Dale match was a Saturday there’d be 2500 Latics there. I don’t think we will take that to Ewood this coming Saturday.

Monty Burns Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 2500 minimum. No real benefit to buying in advance, gona be loadss paying on the day. Obviously, the ‘official’ attendance will be tickets purchased in advance + 150. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
