Blackburn have announced that supporters can go to the Stoke away fixture free of charge if they travel on official club coaches. Rovers hope to attract a large following to the fixture on Saturday April 18, and anybody interested can take advantage of this offer when purchasing tickets for the match. Manager Sam Allardyce is hoping fans turn out in numbers and help his side to another away victory after recent successes at Hull and Fulham."I know some people are sceptical when it comes to the 'role of the fans' on matchdays. The cynics say that players should be able to perform to the highest level whatever the circumstances. Whilst I understand the sentiment, I also know that great vocal support makes a massive difference."We received fantastic support from our travelling fans at both the KC Stadium and Craven Cottage, and it helped in no small way towards the recording of two excellent and fully-deserved victories. "We hope the fans take advantage of this fantastic offer and turn out in their numbers for what promises to be another massive game."
