BLACKBURN Rovers have given fans an early Christmas present by reducing ticket prices for its last Premiership game of 2006 at Ewood Park against Middlesbrough on Saturday, December 30.

Both sets of supporters will be charged just £15 to watch the action in all stands and the announcement follows the success of a similar initiative against Bolton, which added an extra 10,000 to the gate.

Senior citizens and children will be charged only £5 for the match and Rovers hope families from Lancashire and Teeside will make the most of the offer over the festive period.

Rovers also recognise that season ticket holders are the lifeblood of the club and, therefore, as part of efforts to continue to give them value for money, they will be offered an exclusive discount on tickets for Rovers' last 32 home leg clash in the UEFA Cup.
