I have said before, it needs to be an unofficial fans takeover day and the closer it gets to the fixture, the more obvious it is, that is the only way, it will get the recognition it deserves. I recently bought two retro shirts off this sire, one for me and one for my son. Get something designed around the 150 and let's push that to deal, instead of this flimsy T Shirts that look like they will fall apart after one wash.

My mates son played with him at Barrow and the same goes, although he was the richest apparently.

Gally on the right wing.

Definitely could see a Bullseye kit being an absolute classic still remembered in 50 years. If the club doesnt make one BRFCS should! Could use one of those concept kit manufacturers.

Condolences. That was a lovely write-up.

This new “ strategy”from the people making all the decisions will boil down to results on the field. If they fail they will get so much abuse and they’ll all deserve it. I don’t think there is one single person at the top of this club with a modicum of success at doing what they’re being asked to do. Rovers are in a really bad position. The people the fans want to be here are being willingly shipped out while those with nothing of substance to offer are immovable. It can’t last and succeed.

I had a friend who played for Aberdeen youth team at the same time as myles anderson and said he was comfortably the worst player in the squad.

But they are owned by one of the top 10 wealthiest groups of people in the Championship. Who've shown they can easily underwrite enough losses to make the club compete with those outside the parachute money but from bigger catchment area's. However their reluctance to employ higher calibre people and install enough ambition and foresight in running the club means crowds remain lower as do income streams outside of player sales. Coupled with long periods of lack of backing leading to further financial problems, off field issues and good players not wanting to stay means they constantly lose ground on similar competitors and renders the whole 'owned by billionaires' model rather pointless.

If they were serious tickets would be on sale now for the Derby game with every tom, dick and harry associated with the club being sent promotional material, adverts, offers to try and get them back in for such a special occasion. This includes everyone on the database, lapsed season ticket holders, and the general local population of East Lancashire - posters, digital adverts, etc. What we will get is tickets being put on sale 3 weeks before the game at Category A prices with standard 'efforts' made on twitter and Facebook and that's your lot. That they are seemingly expecting to be able to rinse people for hospitality for a 12:30 game against Derby County, suffering the humiliation of our former management team, captain and numerous other players turning up, tells it's own story.

Sorry to hear about your sad loss SC and hope you can treasure the memories you had and that gives you a degree of comfort.

Everything appears so low Key about this Celebration...almost as if being done deliberately. Surely,that could never be?🤔

Let’s not forget that in the past, things were a little bit strange when it came to transfers, in the early years of Venkys ownership. The one constant in all that time has been Pasha, so is this the reason we have seen so many transfers, this season. There is still something strange going on and the bullshit that has come out over the last few days, heightens my suspicions. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/article-2030832/Nick-Harris-Agent-paid-1-65m-deal-player-cost-400-000.html

Having parents is a blessing. I lost both mine 2 years ago as I've posted on here before from cancer. Hope u get through it. It's hard to lose people u love. Give it time. It was my dad's second year anniversary on Wednesday. Losing them both within a month was the hardest thing I've ever gone through. My thoughts are with u

I think when one ‘reason’ disappears another one takes its place.

No, the court case and the investigation are two separate things (albeit the former is only happening because of the latter). The Adjudicating Authority will rule re any fine (max circa £7.7-£8.5 million depending on source of exchange rate used) - I believe they have a year to do so (I’m not sure whether this is from submission of the complaint by the Directorate of Enforcement or from when they then first convene).

I don't think anyone is worried about Hedges not extending his contract. But agreed on the other bits

It certainly does, thank you. So, November comes, the worst that could happen is a fine of £7.7m? A drop in the ocean for our billionaire chicken crazed negligent overlords you'd think. Key point being "I don’t see why it matters any more as the various interim orders have allowed Venkys to send monies anyway." - so any talk of November being a significant date - particularly when the case is adjourned again and put back until Feb after the transfer window - would be a little disingenuous as a reason for not providing (transfer) funds.

I've suspected for a while that their real grievance is with them having to supply the end user certificate.

Deepest sympathy. Take care.

Or get their properties back that were allegedly 'seized' to the value of the VLL anomalies ?

The investigation into the Venkys has reached the Adjudicating Authority stage who will decide if and what punishment (fine) they’ll receive. The court cases instigated by the Venkys will next be heard in November, the website isn’t currently working so I can’t check the exact date (I think it’s the 12th). As far as I recall (can’t double check as above) they’ll now just be arguing over which version of the relevant law should have applied to the monies mentioned in Venkys original petition to the courts. This mattered as under the preceding version they would’ve had the certificate needed to send monies over but under the new version they did not (as the legislation change included changing which institution issues this certificate). I don’t see why it matters any more as the various interim orders have allowed Venkys to send monies anyway. Maybe they’ll be trying to remove the remaining conditions (having to show the money is used for its stated purpose). I hope that makes sense.
