Blackburn Rovers have extended the deadline for half season tickets until Saturday after receiving a fantastic response to the offer.

The original deadline was Monday evening but such was the response, officials are to extend the promotion with a special FA Cup bonus.

Any new customers purchasing this week will find that the half-season ticket now includes Saturday's third round FA Cup tie with QPR.

And with the likes of Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool all still to visit Ewood it's certainly an attractive offer.

Blackburn Rovers managing director Tom Finn said: "We have run the promotion for a number of years and it has always proved popular, but this year has produced a record response.

"Although Monday night's Portsmouth fixture, which was obviously in the original package, has now gone, we felt that including the QPR tie might just encourage additional sales this week.

"We have a very exciting few months ahead, with all the top teams still to visit Ewood Park, and the half-season ticket offers exceptional value for supporters of all ages."

Anyone wishing to take advantage of the extended offer can do so by purchasing their half-season ticket prior to Saturday's FA Cup tie with the West London visitors - the tickets will be on sale right up to kick-off time.
