I got a reply from the club regarding no sky sports (personally I think they should be trying to make it a bit of a sports bar vibe with rovers historic pictures plastered everywhere, not sure i want to watch re runs of games and interviews we've already seen. 😞 Last season, because of the high subscription fees charged by Sky Sports, we had to introduce a matchday membership fee for access to Blues. To keep Sky Sports in Blues this season, the subscription costs would have been significant, meaning we’d have had to increase the price of membership. Instead, we want to make Blues accessible and affordable for all supporters. Over the summer we made the decision to switch to RoversTV, which allows us to remove the subscription charge while still offering great matchday value. We understand that some fans enjoy watching the 12:30pm and 5:30pm televised fixtures. For those supporters, Sky Sports will still be available in Jack’s Kitchen on a matchday, with access available as part of a £15 upgrade. In Blues, we’ll be showing classic Rovers matches and exclusive Rovers content before and after the game, creating a space that feels even more connected to the club.

It was plain to see on US TV coverage.

Sorry just what in the hell is going on? No CEO, Travis leaving or staying, no incomings? Even for venkys this is a mess

What’s your view on our owners, Parson? (That’s our owners, not other clubs’).

I’d spotted on Twitter that Jackson had been tweeted to re the Blues Bar issue. Now, maybe I’ve watched too many films, but surely any journo worth his salt will be thinking - ‘Club that almost got in the PL play offs less than four months ago has voluntarily relegated it’s women’s side to playing clubs that sound like Soccerdome five a side teams, now they don’t even have Sky Sports showing in their, err, sports bar… there’s a thread here.

In my opinion, it is not so much that some parts of the minutes had been censored, but that there shouldn't need to be censorship. I am not saying that this type of censorship has happened at previous meetings, but the opportunity for it to happen was there. People will now come to their own conclusions.

I miss the days "transition" meant going from attack to defence or vice-versa, and not the gutting of a squad to save money

There were protests about Jim Iley in the 70s. Remember everyone shouting outside the Boardroom on Nuttall Street. Difference then was they were local businessmen who had customers in the town, so protests could have a direct influence on their business. Today, clubs are owned by global enterprises whose owners are often based on a different continent!

I think at the time Turkey were a developing nation ((in football terms), & scouting wasn't nearly as worldwide as it is now. The 3 foreign player rule only ended in the late(ish) 90s so clubs didnt stock their squads up with players from afar as they couldn't play them anyway & it took a little time for clubs/managers to start using as many foreign players as we see now It seemed more common in those days to discover an unearthed gem (Kinkladze & Pahars spring to mind as other examples). I am not sure if it played a part in him moving to Rangers, but Souness was Tugays manager at Galatasaray in the mid 90s, so it wouldn't surprise me if he played some part in Tugay moving to the UK, and was obviously a huge part in why he ended up at Rovers after his stay in Scotland I would hazard a guess that it was a "perfect storm" of events as to how and why he ended up at Rovers, and if it was in the current era, he would have been at one of the top 8 or 10 clubs in Europe

...And in retrospect what we would do to have decent folk like that running our Club now.They did their best when we really didn't have a pot to piss in.

What about the fees from Raya, Wharton, Szmodics and Brittain + Gallagher and wahlstedt????

buzzword or excuse?

So still not read the minutes?

Looks like "transition" season is going to be the new buzzword this season, with VI mentioning it in every single interview.

To be fair I don't know enough about his early career and why he doesn't seem to have been on the radar as the talent he obviously was by the time he played for Rovers.

I thought the replays were pretty inconclusive. Would err towards it not being given the significance and stage of the game but if the same thing had happened at the other end everyone would no doubt be saying it was a nailed on penalty.

I am not saying this relates to Rovers in any way, but how many of us on here were aware of this? 2023 Brazilian football match-fixing scandal - Wikipedia https://brazilreports.com/another-match-fixing-scandal-rocks-brazilian-soccer/6708/

Our proud name reduced to a fixture like that. Wonder what would happen if u wanted to sponsor a matchday under I don't know...Raos Out.com ?

I remember that - used to sit right behind Fox/Bancroft/Coar in the old Nuttall Street Stand. They shot off down into the sanctuary of the Boardroom faster than a badger down a rabbit hole when they saw the fans coming over. I was killing myself laughing! Edit: Thought it was during Saxton's time 40 ish years ago?
