The Match Against Blackburn Rovers

[Annoyed Grunt]

Is there any official word as to whether it's being played or not?

I think the key is waiting for official word that it's been called off.. Otherwise, it's on as normal

Still showing on the front page of the club site as being 3 o'clock on Satdi, so I agree with Boris - game on until notified otherwise

nahh - given the speculation - there will surely be an announcement that it is on...

More inclined to agree with Bish on this.

Sure they said on SSN last night it would go ahead as planned on Saturday.

[CrazyHorse]

Bolton Wanderers can confirm that Saturday's home Barclays Premier League fixture against Blackburn Rovers will go ahead as scheduled.

I do try.

It also says that the Tottenham game will be played, just need to decide a date.

Somebody, somewhere, but I've lost the thread [pun intended] said Cup replay next Tuesday.

Purely from a football point of view, we hopefully should be fired up and the pressure's off the Dingles a bit so it's not a bad time to play them. 3 points is a must.

I've always wondered why Blackburn fans were called Dingles. Is it from one of them ^ or from some'at else?

Right, I see.

I think its extrapolated from one of the dingles wearing a Burnley shirt on the show. But, as Blackburn is just a small town in Burnley anyway, they're just logically dingles too.

Cheers. My knowledge grows apace.

Never seem 'em together in the same place have you, eh?

[thebish]

I think we have come late to the party on this one... Dingles is what Blackburn folk call Burnley folk (at least that was the common understanding when I lived in Burnley...)

[ohjimmyjimmy]

Nice to see we're all back to normal and discussing real football issues

Tickets surely will go fast for this one now. I'd hope so.

Me and Dartisan are driving up from London for it. Just bought tickets now - couldn't get two together in the cheap seats (the petrol means we're investing enough in this game already!).

Hope the place is packed. Anyone have any links to the ticket office and know if it's likely to sell out?

That is quite correct Bish due to the claret 'n' boo Shyte at the cobbled end of the M65 being perilously close to the white rose county.
