ROVERS fans are being offered a chance of a lifetime -- lining up next to their heroes for a team photo.

Around 200 supporters will be allowed on the picture on a first come, first served basis, as long as they are wearing team colours.

Advertising agency Touch is organising the two-hour photo shoot at Ewood Park on Thursday from 12.30pm.

The picture will be used to promote 2003-04 season ticket sales.

Steve Sowden, from Touch, said: "It is a fun photo and a great chance for Rovers fans to be photographed alongside their heroes -- a once in a lifetime opportunity!

"The chance to see your face in the biggest Premiership team photo ever is already generating a lot of interest.

"However, I think fans are also excited about the prospect of seeing their faces alongside team players on the advertisements and posters we will be producing.

"We are looking forward to a big turnout."

Fans wishing to take part must arrive no later than 12.30pm and can use the Darwen End car park B.

The meeting place is the Jack Walker statue outside the Blackburn End. Anyone aged 18 or under must be accompanied by an adult.
