A HEARTBROKEN Rovers fan from London faces matchday blues unless he can quickly find two tickets for the Easter Monday fixture with Newcastle United.
Christian Rodwell, 16, is a Junior Rover and a member of the London Supporters Club.
The football fanatic travels with his mum to most games at Ewood during his school holidays and is a regular attender at matches in the South and Midlands.
In January, they booked three nights at the Rose Cottage bed and breakfast, Longsight Close, Clayton-le-Dale, for the Easter weekend.
But because match tickets are only on restricted sale to holders of home game stubs, Christian looks likely to miss out.
He said: "I tried to get a ticket for the Everton game so I would have a stub even though I couldn't go to it. But they never went on open sale.
"If anyone has a couple of spare tickets I will definitely take them off their hands."
If anyone can help contact Marj Adderley, at Rose Cottage on 01254 813223.
