Recruitment of good experienced players? Nah, that's so yesterday. You have to scour obscure European Leagues for players, preferably ones whose Club have just been relegated.

i never envisiged a time when wrexham would have better players than us across the whole team😢

We knew it was only going to be a matter of time before Sheff Utd climbed out of it. Far too good a manager and squad for a bottom 3 spot. I wouldn't be surprised if they went on to reach the play offs this season. I would expect Norwich to follow in climbing but perhaps more slowly and gradually.

Sheffield United are going to get out of it and truth be told any team under you is nice but I never expected them to remain there. I think any clubs hope of avoiding the drop sits with finishing above Wednesday, Portsmouth and Oxford personally

BBC sport online have interview with Dom Hyam ahead of today where he credits Wrexham's recruitment team for their recruitment of good experienced players.!

So, tbc, you're insisting that tier 4 Markanday is better than La Liga Dolan?

United two goals up already.

The most perplexing thing about Vale is he doesn't look like he wants to be a footballer. Whenever I saw him play for us, he lacked aggression and effort. No one can stop you running and chasing. Wasn't surprised at all when we binned him off.

The Knobbers and Notlob business model to successfully increase crowds and atmosphere, constantly pointed out to the stooges at Ewood. Sadly, they have no idea how to run a business and have no interest beyond the headline ST revenue collected.

Portsmouth and Sheffield United kicking off right now. We could be back in deep trouble before our game starts.

Sadly, I agree. Despite the tremendous away results so far, I just can’t see us getting anything today from Hollywood FC.

Don't see us getting anything today, Wrexham could move into the play off places with a win today so they're gonna be really up for it.

Two averagely-crap teams play out a drab affair. One took their chance, the other didn't. Exciting times to be a Rovers fan...

Well said. Football is, for the most part, a meritocracy. No club (Rovers included) is entitled to be higher than anyone else based on former glories and historical significance. If we weren't a shitshow being held hostage by dark forces, perhaps we wouldn't be thumbing our noses at the likes of Wrexham, Bournemouth, Brighton, et al., but that's our problem.

Post covid North End did early bird adult season tickets behind the goal for £280. That significantly boosted their actual home support on every game not just selected ones like happens here when we have a good season.

Indeed..who wudda thunk it!🤡

Clubs generally are bringing higher away followings, we certainly are, so that will account for part of that slight increase, plus a fair bit of time towards the top of the league had led to a few more walk ons - but, as we just don’t sell STs in any good number it soon all falls away. Our STs have generally oscillated between 8.5k and 10k since 2012.

For anyone travelling from Ewood today expect the A550 to be backed up with the travelling home fans

Oh look, Preston averaging less that 11k ten years ago i wonder what made a major contribution to their 50% uplift ? We'll be looking at that average next season.

See that's a fair comment and an angle not considered alot of the folks in Upper JW are older folks and perhaps see it as an occasion a day out and social thing. And perhaps be too old for getting involved with all that stuff behind the scenes now. So yea that's a fair point

I’m surprised by the below table (re us) but of course the club supplies the figures so a pinch of salt may be required:

Maybe because the people in charge at the Rovers don't give a toss about the fans (just my opinion).

I used to spend much of my disposable income on attending matches - then Kean twathead arrived and I stopped entirely. I now have other ways I spend my money and money. I’m still occasionally tempted to go to a match again but not to the point I’d forego my other hobbies to do so. I doubt I’m the only one whose ‘ended up like this’.

Kill two birds with one stone. Have him as 5th choice (or whatever number he is) ‘keeper and train him to serve in the concourse too.
