Rovers Ewood Support.

[AucklandRover]

Many prefer away days, but I got fed up of too many drunken idiots. That's the top of bottom of it. Some may like the boorish loud atmosphere, I don't.

It's always a fine line. I used to go to games with someone who was good fun as long as he wasn't in the pub for more than hour beforehand.
With more than four pints in him, though, he was a complete...embarrassment - to phrase it politely.
It's the same here. I can't watch the All-Blacks with my closest friend in NZ. He spoils the game for me.
I watched a lot of Rovers away games in the old days, standing with the opposition (because of where I lived), but I picked my section very carefully!! I only once had trouble, and it was some of the locals who sorted it out for me.
I like a drink before the game, but not to the extent that I can't concentrate.
Bit different in Auckland, of course, where I'm generally watching games in the early morning. My wife's not keen on me drinking before breakfast.

I don't drink. So it's not an issue. You find at away games people will have a drink, and be a little more boysterous. But then the atmosphere is always far better at away games. The fans and the players (And TM) have a real unity.

It's not bad at Ewood. It's fine. We just need more fans. Even if we get 15k, it still half empty.

That final game when got 27k looked great. Sounded great. But it was full of drunken idiots who aren't Rovers fans. I hated it. Idiots running on the pitch.
