Blackburn generally bring anything between 200 and 1000, though they had 3000+ the day they won "t'league." Anticipate an away allocation of 2000 for this. n

They'll take the full 6,000 for this i'm sure.

Don't be sure, times are hard in East Lancs, and it is a good 35 miles to Anfield!

Blackburn will only take a maximum of 3,000 if that

I reckon so, I can't see them bringing half the support that Bolton did.

Do the KO times stay the same as previous rounds? If so that would mean if we're on BT it will be either Sat 5:30 or Sun 4:00

The only trend I've noticed for sixth round matches is that there's always a 12:45pm kick off. Last season there was no evening match on the Saturday with three of the matches played on a Sunday which is unusual. As we are likely to be on BT I think you're right, the kick off times will stay the same and we'll play on one of those slots.

And even if they do we sold a few thousand on general sale and hopefully that's enough for this dropping to members..

We didn't - it was 99.9% sold out on members, literally only a handful of tickets went on general sale

swoopy · « **Reply #292 on:** February 17, 2015, 09:31:21 am »

Bolton brought the full away contingent.

If Blackburn only take 3k or so then there's more chance of this dropping to members / fc's?

my bad... just that I know someone that got 3 together on the kop. And therefore assumed there was a few available.

Just seen some serious shite on a Blackburn forum, slagging our city, our people, our fans, our club, our manager and our captain.

I'm hoping for a 10-0.

I know I shouldn't get wound up by internet pricks, but what a firm of absolute bellends.

nfletcher23 · « **Reply #298 on:** February 17, 2015, 11:04:40 am »

Can't go too much based upon their home attendances, i know a lot of lads who support championship teams who simply attend away games, lots of examples of team's in that league who struggle to sell out home games but sell out away's, can see them selling out surely, probably their biggest game in quite a few years

I'm basing it on how they never sold out their 3,000 away allocation when they were in the premier league, so to bring 6,000 is a big ask. It's only a small town Blackburn remember

Just looked at their followings for this season and can only apologise! hahaha shocking, still think a lot will come out of the woodwork for this one mind, 6000 as you say though possibly not

Sooty89!!! · « **Reply #303 on:** February 17, 2015, 11:35:05 am »

I know Im jumping the gun a bit but can anyone remember what time kick-offs there were in last years semis? Im sure the Saturday was early and the Sunday late? I know we've got to beat Blackburn 1st but ive looked at London Midland and you can get a return train on both days for £20, so if ya buy for both days you will still be saving money on the price of a train ticket should we beat Blackburn once the dates and times for the semis are announced!

2013-14: Saturday 17:07 KO, Sunday 16:07 KO

2012-13: Saturday 17:15 KO, Sunday 16:00 KO

2011-12: Saturday 12:30 KO, Sunday 18:00 KO

It will probably be similar this year as I imagine they have late kick-offs to suit TV companies!

You'd think the QF K-O times will be sorted fairly quickly,

There's no replays (pretty unique out of 8 games) so there's no risk involved for the TV companies. They know what games they are to choose from and there's only 4 so you'd think (if the time slots are the same as previous)

BBC will pick United v Arsenal first and have it Monday Night (should really be Sunday lunchtime but the pattern so far has been their biggest game at this time)
BT will pick us and have Saturday Night again
BBC will have Villa v WBA and have it at Sunday lunchtime
BT will be left with Bradford v Reading for Sunday 4pm

I think all 4 ties are being played across Saturday/Sunday so no Monday night game. They will be Saturday lunchtime/Saturday tea-time, Sunday lunchtime/Sunday afternoon

going off them order of picks bbc and bt get could go either way with most but if bbc get first pick no doubt they'll have united and arsenal bagged, BT I would think have a choice of show Liverpool or show a midlands derby in villa and west brom these are how they could go
Bbc - Man u v arsenal - Saturday 12.45/ Sunday 1.30
Bt – either Liverpool v Blackburn or villa v west brom – sat 5.30/ sun 4
Bbc - left with either Liverpool/ villa game or Bradford v reading, BT left with the last one of whatever bbc don't pick. you would think either way Bradford will be last pick which BT will end up with.

This.

Remember Oldham brought 6000 twice? Their average home attendance is 3-4000. Like Blackburn most will followed Utd or City and when their local team draws a giant they'll come in their thousands.
