Lads & Lasses,
Just an update on this trip. At the moment there are 12 people looking to go to this game with a possibility of a few more. There will be 4 persons making their own way to Blackburn so we have a few options on the transfer front (Liverpool- Blackburn). We can get a new 16 seater mini-bus (£150rtn) or x2 Taxis (£100). What do you think of this? There is an update on the overall price of the trip, so we can discuss and make a descision within the next week or so.

Hey everyone. Spoke to Simon last night (he was very helpful) and I am going to the Nancy match. Hopefully will be an official member in the next few days. Can't wait! ;D

[Chicken Wing]

This was my first time over to Blackburn and I had a really great time. The match was crap though but a win is a win. Lucas Neill made a complete tosser of himself with his celebration (thanks for the goal though). Met most of the players I think. Bring on Leverkusen and get another trip organised Simon (ha ha). Hope you have sobered up Wesley!

[bufckenny]

Finally got registered on here!! Yes, it was a great trip, really enjoyed it even thought the game wasnt the best but at least we got the win in the end!! Tough game in next round but think we can do it!
Good to meet u jonny even though ur a ports fan!! Also good to meet the others who travelled over, for a linfield fan wes is def good craic!! ;D

[Chicken Wing]

Good result on Saturday against Loughall Kenny!!! Wesley was a complete legend but I think we all had our funny/stupid moments e.g. Colin talking crap to the Indian taxi driver, Wesley on the massage chair and being stalked by a big bald man in nite club (I will say no more), Warren thinking the steward was Nonda, Simon inviting my dad down for breakfast thinking it was me and myself telling Jason Brown that he had a good game. And Kenny was just Kenny, a legend!!!

Also no Chelsea fans allowed on trips in future ha ha ha!!!

As I said earlier it would be nice to get another trip organised and for other members to post on forums.

Merry Christmas All!!!

Yes, an enthoroughly enjoyable trip was had by all and it was an added bonus to see Rovers' progress as winners of the group. A late Lucas Neill strike deep into injury time was slightly marred by his celebration afterwards.

The game was probably one of the least memorable games ever played at Ewood Park, but the fans who were present gave their full vocal support to the team. Rovers also saw a few young faces present, with Matt Derbyshire making his full debut as well as Republic of Ireland Youth International Eddie Nolan handed his debut when he replaced the injured Andy Todd midway through the 1st half.

Photos of this trip as well as several others will be updated by this weekend.
