I've actually become quite attached to the tent now. It's good for kids/families, the pasty queue is never too bad and you can sit down in the dry. The view is no worse than the North end. I'd prefer the Dribuild but its not as bad down there as people think! I went in there for Grimsby first game of season 2007 think it was and when we scored I stood up and sang Irene loud and proud arms in the air like I always do in the blackthorn end and everyone looked at me like I was mad. |

Well yeah, because we prefer it if people don't wave their Willy around when we score. We are old fashioned like that. |

Oh I didn't realise that, I had my arse out my willy and I was swinging from the roof like a monkey. I'm definitely more suited to the Blackthorn end. |

I really hope that this isn't some balls up as I will feel very sorry for anyone who misses out. Maybe FGR sent some of theirs back as they clearly weren't going to sell them? Was talking to a steward in the beer garden at Dover, he did mention that if they drafted in a few more stewards who were willing to put themselves"in the line of fire" a bit then they can dispense with the segregation netting and instead have a line of stewards in the gangway between two sets of fans...maybe they've done that ? After all when they offer seating and standing to away fans it it usually the more sensible awayers that go for the seats leaving the rowdies on the terracing!! |

Still 15 south stand tickets available for anyone who is still desperate. Lmfao! You don't have to be desperate to watch from the South Stand! But it helps! Didnt mean it like that! Don't mind the south stand myself, bit cramped but watched a few games with older relatives from there. |

Don't mind the south stand myself, bit cramped but watched a few games with older relatives from there. Same as that. Took my father in law there who can't stand for long and has been told not to get too worked up due to a dodgey heart. Thought the Blackthorn might be a bit much for him. Wouldn't want his first Rovers game to be his last. |

They definitely exist, called office this morning to stop mine being posted out. They called me back 30 minutes later to say they had them and that I could collect at anytime |
