I have just been on the Doncaster website to try and purchase a ticket ,all my details were put in with my ol12 8jb postcode
I picked a random seat in Area W24 Row R Seat 527 clicked on pay with no problems ...
I do have one BTW from the original date ,I was just trying as I was told it was possible and it does appear to be ...

Usual story. If they behave themselves then no problem. If they decide to carry on like prats they can have no complaints if they are thrown out.
-
Don't really care as long as as has been said they don't act like Kitsons. It's not as if we don't do it.
-
Middlesbrough have put a block on anyone without previous purchasing history for the Wall game at the weekend as well as only giving us a thousand tickets.
-
It makes a bit of a mockery out of putting netting on seats and closing areas in order to separate two sets of supporters if they're allowed anywhere in the ground anyway.
Surely it's a potential health and safety issue?
-
As others have said. If they're happy to give us their money and behave themselves then let it be.
As long as they're respectful to our fans then I see no harm. I've sat with fans of opposition teams before at the Keepmoat and it's all a good laugh if they treat it right.
More the merrier I say. Let Blackburn fans boost next year's budget!
-
Good on them, it'll be nice to have a bigger than usual crowd and a potentially decent atmosphere even if there's nothing riding on the game from a Rovers perspective.
As a sidenote, the last two attendances have been given as 7k and 8k or thereabouts but there didn't look to be anywhere near that number in the ground. Do the club do tickets sold attendances rather than bums on seats nowadays?
Look at the crowds given for Bradford Cit's last two home games. There were about 10,000 max for the Portsmouth game and even less for the previous one. I know a lot of City season ticket holders and they all said the same.
-
Every club does it nowadays I think, look at the thing with Arsenal attendances hitting 57-58 thousand when there's clearly not that many there.

Yes, I agree on that.
I would be surprised then if there were more than 6000 in the stadium on Saturday and 1000 of those were away supporters.
It kind of emphasises the point that our own support is dwindling right now even though the official attendance was 8255.
-
Not sure why they would buy in the home end as they haven't sold their allocation yet.
-
Just announced that the game is all ticket, as is the Wigan game.

Seems like Blackburn are setting records for tomorrow night and will more than likely be a sell out
And there'll be no cash turnstiles either. So those who do use them will need to visit the ticket office.
-
We had Rotherham in the hime end, so why not Blackburn
-
I had a ticket (didnt use it in the end, gave it to a friend) in the Brentford end. I managed to get a ticket from our ticket office a day before the game.
As long as they are well behaved then they should be welcomed.
-
They're only coming to see the Rovers 😀😀

I took the girlfriend to watch Millwall at Forest for the first game this season and we got chucked out and we never opened our mouths, for the crime of wearing a lapel badge. According to the stewards it was for our own safety because they can't control the actions of the crowd if we had cheered if we scored.

On DROS it says tickets for the home end are only available to people who are on the database.

They may have closed the stable door after the horse has bolted

But they still haven't sold their full allocation so why would they buy in the home end?

I've no idea, I'm commenting on an earlier post, not stating a fact

We've round about 5000 season ticket holders, Rigo; they're counted as part of every home game whether they turn up or not.

hound what is the point putting a higher crowd than there is cos we would have to pay more taxes than we should have to, it does not make sence to me

I suppose it gives some supporters an opportunity to tell us that our support isn’t falling away.

It's a EFL rule that clubs have to declare "tickets sold" (including season tickets) as the attendance rather than numbers through the turnstiles.

All the tickets allocated to us had been sold before the weekend ,our website said Doncaster were not going to allocate anymore ,hence the mad rush to get them in the home sections ,Rovers B/burn twitter was not stating the same allocation as website ,a bit of cross wires ,however having sold 3300 we got informed this morning that a further 700 were now available ,i believe these have also gone...Doncaster ticket office have been canceling and returning money to all lancastrian postcodes who have purchased in the home section ,quite a few people stating this and not happy ,but it is a home section afterall and i am sure we have voiced our concern when its happened to us ....To make matters worse you Twitter via some laison chappy was saying we could pay on the day and even stated were to get them ,all very confusing.....
Perfect result tommorrow is a high scoring entertaining draw and Posh to beat the Shrews ,had great feedback from Donny supporters may the best team win

It possibly would have stayed pay on the day if it wasn't for your lot buying in the home end.
-
It would have remained as pay on the day if you hadn't suddenly sold out.
The most you have taken to an away game this season has been 3,000, which is why the initial allocation was 3,300. Don't forget that the away club, that's you Blackburn!, have to request the tickets you need about 5 weeks before the fixture takes place and the home club has to deliver those tickets about 4 weeks before the fixture happens. Because this is a postponed fixture you will have had those tickets a long time.
-
Our largest following was a sell out at Rochdale 3500 not 3000 and to be honest we have had few sell outs this season .I think we have the largest away following in this division ....we have sold 4000 and lets not forget it is a Tuesday night plus the fact we have sold out of our allocated tickets for Charlton as well over 3000..

Who cares if your late ticket buyers are not happy, you should be thankfull that we have one of the largest away allocations in L1
-
For that we can be eternaly grateful as we have also had the largest following in this division and its worked out well.....Me i dont care about late ticket buyers , should have bought them first time round like i did for the 24th March fixture ....
-
Obviously happy to take their money but is it just me that hates it when we allocate 4000+ to the away team?
I know it makes sense when there is plenty of room in the ground and there's revenue to be made, but it must make it feel like a home game for the away side.
-
Something I've always wondered. If the game gets rearranged, is there a potential for a ticket to be sold in a seat that the ticket hasn't been returned for?
-
No that seat has already been sold so we can't sell it twice
-
I’ve seen Germany play in 3 different countries , in Germany it was totally sterile with absolutely no atmosphere,all the chants well the 3 times they made any noise was orchestrated by the “super fans “ with big flags pitch side of the barriers . Majority of German fans turned up in club clothing,hats ,coats ,scarves and shirts. Just imagine doing that at a Scotland match, Rangers-Celtic, Wales match,Cardiff-Swansea etc it just wouldn’t happen
-
Something what gets me about away fans in the home end...
In England, this sort of 'That's an away fan, chuck him out!' argument occurs pretty much every time it happens. I remember Charlie Swallow, in his days when he had a title at the club, going beserk because in a Donny v Peterborough game in 09/10, there was a fella wearing a Posh shirt in the home end. He turned out to be a mate of Paul Mayfield or something but that didn't stop him giving it the big 'un and trying to get the fella kicked out.
Compare it to Germany and there's been various times I've seen opposing colours in the home sections, yet there's never any hostility and it's a more a case of 'Come here laddo, let me get ya a beer' and lots of friendly banter, football-chat, but never, ever any aggro.
I was even at Inter v Juventus last season, a local derby (to a degree) and there were hundreds upon hundreds of colour-wearing Juve fans in the home sections.
So why the f*ck is it perceived as a massive problem in England? It's something I'll never be able to understand nowadays. At the end of the day, so what if the bloke three seats away supports a different team?
Rigo, you're comparing countries with a café culture mentality to England, a nation full of p*ssheads; there has to be extra vigilance over here.

I hope the players are up for it tonight, nothing pleases me more to see a has been club with fans that think they will steamroller us, being sent home to lick their wounds. We've had bigger has beens than this lot down at the KM and sent them packing

Haha see you later... We are The Rovers
-
Like has been said doesn’t bother me if they are in home end aslong as they behave and don’t act like dicks,don’t even mind them cheering if they score.sure the late rush for tickets is because they can be promoted tonight and sure we would have fans doing the same like we have in the past before if was other way round .
-
Were have you got the idea that we think we will steam roller you .....most genuine fans who have seen most of our games this season are very nervous ...we have had 7 years of hell under the venkys with nothing but a downward spiral ,tonight we are on the verge of promotion with something to look forward to .We are not stupid its eleven v eleven tonight and hopefuly because we sit 2nd in the table have a long unbeaten run we are pretty confident that this team can win ,yes on paper we have a better team but who knows ,and i know most of our fans are pretty nervous today...Would you not be if you were sat in the same postion as us and were taking 4000 to Ewood park ...
Thats the ground of the one of the founder members of the football leauge,with a trophy cabinet most teams can only dream of...We may be has beens but as a supporter i am still proud of my has been club surely as a fellow football suporter you can at least understand why we may be getting a bit giddy ..

I worked in Blackburn for 18 years so I have many old friends who are Blackburn Rovers fans.
They won the Premiership not long before we dropped into the Conference, but we made up a lot of ground on them in the ensuing years!
Their fans have been through bad times recently under very unpopular owners, so we share much in common.
Even their glory days under Kenny Dalglish were achieved thanks to the money of a local hero in Jack Walker, not some faceless foreign billionaire.
I'm hoping for a (red) Rovers victory tonight but Blackburn to be promoted by virtue of Shrewsbury's result against Posh.
Then they can enjoy their party but not at our expense!

Or a Doncaster win and a Peterborough win - Blackburn still get promoted and Doncaster guarantee Safety :aok:

They've not sold out yet!!!
Just 100 tickets remain for the game at Doncaster Rovers on Tuesday evening
3 Hours ago
We can confirm that only 100 tickets remain for the game against Doncaster Rovers tonight at the Keepmoat Stadium.
Once the remaining tickets have been sold, the total allocation of 3,842 will have been reached, with no further tickets available.
Tickets can be purchased from Roverstore or you can ring up on 01254 372000 to purchase and collect at Doncaster. Please note tickets cannot be purchased online.
These tickets can be collected at Doncaster Rovers, and we advise supporters to arrive early, as it is expected that over 1,000 Rovers fans will be there to collect theirs.
Kick-off against the Yorkshire side is 7.45pm.
-
There could be a lot of Blackburn fans missing the kick-off if they don't arrive early....
-
I think that any Blackburn fans collecting tickets at the Keepmoat should be told that they collect them from the ticket office near the away end rather than the main ticket office.
They will be gutted if they queue for ages to be told that they need to do the same elsewhere. They may even miss the kick off.
-
We need to win and do the double of them to completely erase the memories of them nicking Browny and Tommy Pur off us and sending that excuse for a footballer Herold Goulon to us
-
Interesting to looks at Rovers as a suffix - Blackburn precede us by 4 years with the name "Rovers" but they were preceded by Clapham Rovers by 6 years. Anyone come across any older Rovers?
-
Just had a phone call from the missus 20 mins ago,who is taking our grandson to the game,and she's says she has had to look elsewhere to park,because the car parks are full and turning everybody away.

Ruabon Rovers in Wales were in existence circa 1869/1870 as they were one of the teams that merged together to form the formidable Druids FC in 1872. Clapham may just be older though.
-
Are they now Cefn Druids or do they no longer exist/compete at a much lower level?
