When they say they never fail to sign a cheque, perhaps the meant a player form the Czech Republic, as they are failing to sign plenty of the paper variety, at the minute, in my opinion.

They don't care, think about the prestige of owning the most successful town team ever, one of only a handful of clubs to be Premier League champions etc etc etc they have dismantled the ladies team just as they have the mens team.

If (as we've read before) saving face and not being seen to be "losers" in Indian society is their credo, they are making a very poor job of it!

Does anyone know if there is any media coverage of their poor performance (football wise) in the Indian media?

How many on here actually watch the Ladies?

As the WSL are increasing (perhaps understandably) the requirements, the the costs will have jumped - which against our very poor attendance figures is the nub of problem we presume?

Yes, poor comms from the club, they should have shared the position / challenge.

Now, the 'Supporters Coalition' has called for action, presumably many don't want to see the team disappear.

So perhaps the middle ground would be if there is a big jump in the costs, then the club could match whatever extra 'raise' through extra season tickets etc.  People understandably want to rally around, so let them.

So was the Women's club folded yesterday?

My hatred and disdain for the inept management of Rovers is particularly accute over this mess up.

Club shop in town centre costs too much - shut it down

Matchday programme costs too much - get rid

Home fans in Darwen End / BBE upper tier - close them down

Radio Rovers / Rovervision cost too much - shut down

Academy and Brockhall sites cost too much - attempt to shut down but can't be done easily / on the cheap and too much red tape to deal with so leave for now

Ewood shop / Blues Bar - start to shut down, reduced opening days and times and doing their utmost to discourage people from going with incentives to stay away from the Ewood site

I've probably missed a few

Women's team - costing too much - what happens next?

Why stop there? Mens and reserve/youth teams don't make money either. Any reason for keeping those going? It isn't to benefit the town or fanbase that's for sure or they'd make some effort with it.

Indeed, obviously running a football club and all its elements half way around the world is far too expensive for them… so they keep hold of it, because…

If they owned Chelsea they'd simply demolish it and put apartments up.
