Iv seen plenty online bring up Leonard recently because he’s on a good run

Would you gamble on Alli?

He is a steal and will come back even stronger after the African Nations Cup. Hopefully he keeps himself fit.

Maybe loan him out to league one to build him up.

I would not write Henriksson off yet. It more looks like Ismael who has a Pochettino esque style in adding new concept and wanting physical and players who train really hard and removing older players who not buying that style is having good progress with the younger ones (Pratt, Montgomery , Miller etc) and the hardworking ones (Japanese players).

I was there that day and can still remember the coach driver telling us to seek cover in the aisle, moments before the windows went through!

Ive asked the question. Not defending anyone

It was probably the boufant hair, make up and glam pants that irked the locals.. Roux Paul wasn't a celebrity back then, especially in the 'man's world' of Teesside..

Surely there is no reason to stop online ticket sales. If its sold out then they'd report it. Admin error?

What growing narrative? I presume you are referring to Ismael's philosophy of 'if you can make it in League One, you'll make it in the Championship as well'.

Surely the fact that ticket sales are outsourced to Ticketmaster should not require any Rovers staff to be involved. I guess most Rovers fans planning to go to Sheffield will have bought tickets in good time but many will have been undecided. Another massive own goal for the club.

They won’t have “given them” time off. They will be making them use their holiday allowance.

Check of our local clubs playing away on 29th. Wigan away at Burton - on sale online now and in person in ticket office on Monday morning. Fleetwood away at Salford - on sale online now and ticket office open Saturday 27th Oldham away at Walsall - Was on sale until 12pm on Saturday 27th but sold out. Morecambe away at Carlisle (30th). Club shop open all day 29th.

He's literally a loan? What's the clause for buying him? Does anyone know? I doubt we'll buy him regardless of clauses because - we can't afford to

I don’t get why, if you buy and then receive a ticket digitally, it needs Rovers staff to still be working to process it. But clearly it does.

Can I disassociate myself from Herbie’s message, as you’re all a bunch of absolute bastards 😉 Merry Christmas anyway!

Considering Sheffield Wednesday are still selling tickets to there own fans for this game online over the Christmas period, why on earth would they say to Rovers "you need to take them off sale 6 days before the game"?! It's 100% a rovers decision because they can't be arsed with the hassle of it all, please stop jumping to there defence on everything that happens.

RIP to one of my dad’s favourite players, John Robertson. ‘Giggs before anyone knew what Giggs was, but only for about 5 yards’.

Seconded! The guys behind BRFCS do a sterling job.

Well short of the 5,000 we took up to the old Ayresome Park on Boxing Day 1987. I think Boro, with Mowbray and Pallister, were top of the league and went on to get promoted via the play offs. We were 23 or something unbeaten with Steve Archibald up front. Garner and Bernie ‘the wolf man’ Slaven scoring in a 1-1 draw. It was certainly a rough old encounter, especially off the pitch, supporter bus windows being bricked and they attempted to turn our tranny van over, those were the days 😊

Yes, a comparison to the games either side of it seems a fair enough barometer.

If only there was some kind of digital solution available that would enable supporters to buy tickets…someone with IT skills should look into this.

The "real" crowds are 6-7k because of the situation that's been pertaining at the Club for the last 15 years in general and (at the current levels) the last 12 months in particular. The boycott will bring attention to the cause, put a focus on the overall situation, and as long as there's not a noticeable increase in attendance in protest against the call for a boycott I don' see how anyone can see it as a bad thing or why anyone needs to obsess over bare numbers. There are also organic factors to take into consideration as well. If we lose every game between now and Watford, crowds could get even worse than they are now. If we win every game between now and then they'll undoubtedly perk up a bit. The fairest test on numbers is the difference in attendance between the Watford game and the home game immediately before.

@KidderStreetNoise has been on the case…

Best birthday present for your lad would be to take part in the boycott, knowing he played a part in saving his club.
