IT'S November and the start of the "Can I get a ticket for BIG game at Ewood" time.

The fans who travelled up from London the day before the Liverpool game, could they get a ticket? No. The fans who live locally and have ID up to their eyeballs, complete with Worthington Cup stubs, could they get a ticket? No.

No doubt the same "security" excuses will be used again and again -- all because the club mucked up against the Manchester City game two seasons ago.

I personally haven't been to a Worthington Cup game this season because these stubs are useless.

Will these fans keep trying to get tickets? No. And will I be there next season if this continues? No.

And I've had a season ticket since 1988 and attended home and away since 1980.
