Quite surprised some think Brittain is better... Alebiosu is a league ahead in quality and it's not even close in my opinion. He plays like a player who came through at Arsenal and even if he didn't make it there, should be playing in the same league.

Hence my point who decide to take them off sale, us or them? That's my question

Thats the whole point!

The boycotts at Hillsborough worked a treat, it was that effective the club couldn't deny it happening. Grimsby and Boro had more fans in the ground than Wednesday did, it made national news. Our game against Millwall on SKY mentioned the dwindling crowds in commentry, its plan to see, nobody needs offical figures.

Gudjohnsen has decent link up play. Alebiosu has been our star signing. Morishita has been solid signing. McLoughlin and Miller has been more than solid signings, yet the odd bad performance grant Baradji is the one I want to see more off. TGH has been orite Not every signing will work out but that's normal within a football club

It will work..a Photograph of the Stands on a Mobile Phone will speak louder than any official BS attendance given.

SWFC home tickets are still up for online sale. Football is big business and games round Christmas have a traditional call for some so if overview for online purchases on Rovers website is necessay (😕) over Christmas Day & Boxing Day, will they go back up on 27th & 28th? I doubt it.

McLoughlin was a backup at Hull wasn't he? On that basis he's done alright for us. He wasn't an upgrade on anything we had, but he's about what I expected. Miller has been hit and miss. His long throw isn't effective though which is disappointing. Alebiosu is the star pick of our summer business, and imo it isn't even a contest. Really good player. Gudjohnsen is a solid poacher but has very little else to his game. For the market we're in, though, he can be considered a success for sure. Personally I like Morishita and think he'll continue to improve as time goes on. TGH is... well, he's there. Doesn't really do anything wrong, but not a game changer either. Adequate utility man. The rest were a waste of money.

Thanks for the reply.

Weren't all the tickets digital anyway?

Which is why a boycott won’t work. They’ll release numbers similar to any other game.

Absolutely, completely agree on that. Point is, they could have put all the remaining tickets online, and with them being digital tickets people could decide to go over the Christmas period rather than being forced to make a decision 6 days before the game.

I think he’s OK, I just think that Sanderson had a bit more about him, he is quicker for a start..

I think we’ve got 50% of our signings right. Given we’re negotiating with the bag of magic beans that’s a decent score. I expect normal clubs to get 50% right. Really well organised clubs possibly get 75% to 80% right. Nobody gets every signing right. Even Fergie had his share of duds.

Supposedly 1m clause in loan agreement Not a fan of McLoughlin?

I'm asking who made the decision. How's that passing the buck. I'm asking who made the decision. That's all I asking. Read my post. People too quick to blame us. I think given staff a few days over Christmas is good move by the club given staff are working on New Year day and around that period..plus this week. The staff are hard working. I was in the club shop picking presents up for family.

A lot depends on what he and Big Club wanted for him to sign. I liked him and I thought there was a player there. I’d have preferred him to McCloughlin I think.

Not saying that. Wharton is lightyears better

When you’re at Baath’s age there is always the chance your form will fall off a cliff. The history of Football is full of examples of other players. That was the gamble Derby took and we didn’t. I think we got that one right.

Jack's Bronze statue is rapidly losing its protective Laquered finish,if its not corrected soon in will cause cause permanent Oxidisation damage to the Bronze surface itself. You would have thought someone at the Club would have noticed..along with the rest of the Stadium.🤔

That’s right and some of them are really difficult passes to get right. Yet he makes it look so easy.

It's the French league. Morton isn't half the player Wharton is.

A very Merry Christmas and New Year to everyone concerned in the running and organisation of this site. Also, to all who contribute on the various threads throughout the year. Venkys out!

They will always include Season Ticket holders in the attendance whether they attend or not. No protest here,nothing to see...Con Job.

There's a lingering resentment from certain people in the media towards Jack Walker to this day. It's also the same with certain high profile fanbases such as the Salford red devil scum who have been instrumental in creating the current environment where ambition is to be punished. Of course this hasn't done them much good recently largely through their own incompetence and customary arrogance. How can you resent someone so committed that he apologises for being unable to attend while fighting cancer? This question needs to be asked with relentless frequency and vitriol until they are forced to acknowledge it. Of course what needs to be done is never done. You would think after 20 years I had learned my lesson (and for the most part I have which is why you rarely hear from me) but stubbornness is both a positive and a negative. Of course with Venkys it's very much the latter. There is of course the other question...what next? In my opinion you need to capitalise on what could be a growing trend. High profile celebrity ownership which brings with it unique revenue streams. There are people out there who make Reynolds and Mcelhenny look like d-listers. Some of them might be interested in following them into football at a club with vastly superior historical success. There's also the question of Venkys saving face and a big part of that could be who they sell to.
