    More complicated than a game of 'Go Johnny, Go, Go, Go, Go'

    I think the off the pitch ineptitude actually upsets me more than our woeful sequence of results. I can't see us moving forward under the current administration, regardless of who is manager.

    I've got the stubs

    But I don't have a Celtic tattoo & can't dance the Mamba.
    Therefore the discount is as follows:

    £28 list price
    £10 discount for stub v Sheff Wed in Sherpa Van Trophy
    £5 discount for stub v Mallaga in pre-season 1991
    £3 discount for wearing socks
    £6 charge for membership badge / stopwatch
    £11 moonwalk surcharge
    x2 multiplier for lack of tattoo
    x3 multiplier for lack of Mamba
    10% discount for Aldi voucher

    I think that makes it £146 per ticket.
    I've decided to go to Cadbury World instead.

    Nope.

    Unless your name is Clive and you own a 1994 Nissan Primera.
    Then the Colchester stub gives you an 11% discount* & a free bag of pork scratchings.

    Can you not read?
    It's pretty simple.

    Re: I've got the stubs

    Does a "Go Outdoors" discount card bring any value to this mathematical algorithm set by The Don?
    What about a Barnsley Library card (no penalties for late returns), National Insurance card, McDonalds coffee card with 3 stickers on, used return train ticket (Wombwell/Barnsley), Subway Loyalty card, etc.

    BFC off-field antics are worse than the on-filed performances........I mean what's easier than advertising "Blackburn Rovers game is a knock-down £10 for Adults".

    That's it?

    You need some lessons in BFC Marketing

    You can't just say "£10 off" & advertise it really well.

    Do you have an organ donor card?
    Can you speak Mandarin?
    Did you once see a woman rolling around the platform at London Euston?
    Can you divide by zero?

    If the answer to all the above is yes, and the you have stubs from the match against Backdeacon United on the moon in 1963, then you can claim a discount.
    This discount is a riddle.
    My first is in hatstand, but not in trouser press ...

    Because it's designed by people who don't understand the consumer psyche

    They need to realise that they are a retail business and that they aren't doing us a favour just by being there.

    I genuinely don't understand it

    Tomorrow is the last chance for Reds supporters with a Sheffield Wednesday ticket stub to take advantage of a £10* discount for the Blackburn Rovers match at Oakwell.

    Available from the Oakwell Box Office until 1.30pm, supporters can claim their discount in addition to their Oakwell 1887 membership scheme and Peterborough ticket stub/Special match voucher 'I' from a Season Ticket book, meaning an adult ticket could cost as little as £10!

    Do you need a Sheffield Wednesday ticket stub, a Peterborough ticket stub and Oakwell 1887 membership for a discount?
