Blackburn Rovers slash season ticket prices by 25%

This is awesome news, full credit to the Blackburn board for listening to fans and doing something about the problem of falling attendances. Prices are a big factor in falling attendances in my opinion, there are others including the lack of Saturday 3pm kick-off's and matches to suit TV schedules, but the biggest is price.

Blackburn Rovers | Breaking News | Latest: | SEASON TICKET PRICES REDUCED BY 25%

These reductions mean that I can now get my own ticket and one for my son for less than I previously paid for my own seat, fantastic news. I hope that the fans of Blackburn take note and show their support of the club, by making a season ticket purchase a high priority.

These reductions are also applicable to individual ticket prices, so if you're not into buying a season ticket you can still buy tickets for individual games and a permanently reduced price.

I had a boys day with Jake on yesterday (Saturday), Jake goes to football training every Saturday morning at the JJB Soccerdome in Blackburn, it's run by the Rovers Academy, he absolutely loves it and is definitely getting better.

Then we went to one of his friends parties at the local Brewsters, which was fun, then nipped into McDonalds for lunch before heading off to watch Blackburn today, sat in the Jack Walker stand level with the touchline. Blackburn played Sheffield Utd and won 2-1, match report from the BBC website is on this link... BBC/Sport/Football/PremLeague/MatchReports

David Dunn made a welcome return to the 1st team today, welcome back Dunny, you should never have left in the 1st place, but I'm pleased your back.

Today we're heading back to the Soccerdome again, Rebecca is going to one of her friends parties their, they have really good football parties (we've booked one for Jake's 6th birthday), other than that a quiet day.

ps. check out this link for a taste of something exciting happening next week. Coming Soon.

Great performance today in difficult conditions, we looked good going forward, defended quite well. Good to see Ryan Nelson back. Hope the defence can stay injury free, we need some stability.

At last, a voice of sanity amongst all the greedy club chairmen in the Premier League. It's an honourable thing to do, not sure others will attempt it. More likely the money will land in players & agents pockets.

And what about the other leagues, will they get an increase in TV money, NO! So any talent that might appear in this country will no doubt get snapped up by the likes of Man Utd & Chelsea's academies and disappear.

Rant over, good on ya John Williams.

After plenty of speculation since Rovers tabled a late bid last year for Dunn, it looks like they may finally have secured a return to Blackburn for him. If it comes off I'll be delighted for both the club & Dunny.

Welcome back, hopefully!
