As long as we can take it mate. We have to outlast them scum in India, sad thing is I don't think I will kive to see them gone.

They can't be trusted to tell the truth on pricing anyway. Last season they promised that midweek fixtures at Ewood would be capped at £20 for adults under Category C. Then Sheffield Wednesday came along so they put it at £25. Lesson to learn is they will just make it up as they go along, pointless planning anything with this lot.

I am just waiting for the Cantwell to Derby scoop to come out.

Brother .... i deeply respect your posts and for me all rovers fans are brothers in arms..even when we agree or when we agree to disagree .. but WHAT ARE YOU SMOKING ? lol.... these chicken chingas has been nothing but skint when it come to rovers starting from the infamous interview of leasing players in 2012.... for everything to even ground management to sponsers to corporate offers ... no1 penny pinchers... i even have reason to believe our drop to championship was a plan as this is the perfect milking spot... We are the only club who dropped from PL and not once reached playoff since dropping from PL and with numerous times falling off exactly dec-feb but miraculously win promotion from L1 on first try... this plot is unrealistic for movies but it's our miserable story

Did they agree on a mid July date for the next one? I want to read them crowing about ‘heading towards 9,000 season tickets sold’, ‘larger revenue than Preston!’

Depending on how Ismael intends to set up he could be replaced by a quicker more direct guy who equally struggles for end product, does half the graft and is way less robust. I trust the Dolan critics already have a Kargbo chant lined up to show their approval...😜

Of course we will miss him. He is our best wide man and possibly our best attacking player, although that isnt saying much. Put it this way, if we signed a player of his level from another Championship club, our fans would be excited. Even if we signed a player showing similar numbers in an inferior foreign league but with an exotic name, they would.

I would bet there has been very little effort to keep these players. We never seem to let our players they are wanted and important. Almost just oieces of meet, no love from above. Not like Jack. Even post Jack we showed we cared.

If he ever develops a better football mind and a more frequent end product he will be quite a valuable player. The IF is the gamble. I think we will miss him more that we expect. Personally I would like to have seen him try his luck at one of the Scottish giants. I would have had more respect for him that way. Right now he has made a lateral move as far as his level of playing. Rovers or Derby we both play the same teams and there fore he is playing at the same level. Thing is he deffo not Prem level so Scotland might have made sense.

It's always been about the cash in my opinion. He was gone even before Eustace left but once JE went to Derby I always felt that is where Dolan would end up. Putting together a known outfit is JE, clever. They'll be streets ahead of us this coming season.

He clearly isnt "shit." Hes a decent Championship wide man.

Pretty much what I thought, easy that one, who needs Nicko.

To be fair, Derby need to have ambition because they almost got relegated. Most Rovers fans would ideally want us to be more ambitious than re-signing the likes of Weimann, Batth and Dolan. It's unlikely we will improve on those given our lack of financial support of course.

There's bound to be a price rise for match by match buyers i think they've been static for a while certainly in the JW upper. Waggot i think sneaked around it sliding in more cat A's and after he'd pledged all night games would be cat B. Wouldn't be surprised if the centre upper section becomes a target again to offset reducing the riverside ST early bird etc.

Are you volunteering for Mr June?

Well i think they have been way over 20 million on a number of occasions but not for a long time.

Can’t believe we’re still debating Dolan tbh, the guys shit and should’ve been offloaded in January.

English players. Scottish and Welsh players are usually as cheap as foreign ones

No think that’s it this time, no ‘phase 3’ where it would be a grand for the front row of the Blackburn End.

The strategy of buying cheaper overseas is fine but it’s the lack of planning beyond this which is frustrating as we don’t seem to offer follow up contracts. Tronstad is a good example. If a player does well, they will rightfully expect to have a pay rise or they will look elsewhere. Once they are established in England they are going to expect the same pay as an equivalent English player. If you are unwilling to do this then you don’t protect the asset and they will leave on a free transfer.

At £27 I'd still be getting 18 games from my £500, so not a million miles off, frankly. As for liking my seat, I don't think I've sat in the same one for about 5 years now. We just wander up the steps and see what takes our fancy at that time, such is the sparsity of the crowd at most matches. Is there another price increase to come, or is this it?

The losses have never been more than 20 mill in a season before, so that only makes sense if the owners haven't sent us any money at all in the past 2 seasons, which is demonstrably false. In fact there was also at least one recent season where we made a profit in the accounts. In which case, what losses?

I imagine a Cat B ticket in the JWU will be around £27. But still, if the alternative is £500, when you know you’ll miss 4/5, and who knows that bitterly cold midwinter midweek too, maybe NYD, maybe one of the half dozen that will kick off at half 12 etc etc. Getting to the stage for most fans now (unless you are the uber fan that has no other commitments, social occasions, holidays, weekends away and so on between August and May every year) that you need to think, putting to one side that you like ‘your seat’, is it worth my while shelling out?

The money receive the bulk of it has funding their losses we made the last 2 seasons. I thought that was obvious to everyone. Clearly not The club isn't skint, if it was why are buying players for transfers fees, both can't be true can it? if we skint we wouldn't buying players would we? who said I'm happy with just £4/5m spent? Please show me I am said this cos this is most annoying thing about you now, the way you make shit up to suit your arguments every time. We had this debate only on Saturday, do we need to have it again SERIOUSLY?. Unless we are in room we don't know. We tried for 2 years with Dolan to get a new contract and he didn't want to sign here. I think you have miss understood my point on the wage bill which I addressed only a couple of weeks ago. I am not keep going over the same points week in week out with yourself. Its boring RF99. Plus you can find similar quality for less money and wages than British players. Nothing wrong with doing that and clubs have been doing that for years.
