I have a feeling that may well be the Rovers TV coverage.

I bought a season ticket for Rovers TV with living in Spain and was able to watch all of the league games home and away for £180. When the games were live on Sky, the coverage I got was different, as was the commentary.

The commentary on sky is always different to the commentary on Rovers TV. We have our own in-house duo for commentary.

I know. I think the coverage is different too.

The article on "mint" is interesting  as having a piece published in India feels a huge step. Kudos to those that have managed to find an Indian journalist brave enough to mention Venkys, that's proven impossible in the past and might just be the final straw

Explain how what happened could have ended up as good PR?

a decision like that would be unpopular mostly, but communicate the decision to the players directly to them personally and properly, not lead it to the women head coach to do it. Also communicate the decision to the supporters by a video explaining the reasons why and what happens going forward. Rovers aren't proactive media relations wise and not smart. 

I have no interest in women football or watching Rovers Woman team but the decision is wrong one and axing it is wrong move.

So it wouldn’t have been good PR regardless.

never said this sort of decision would be good PR did I Matty

[Mattyblue]

You said it was a ‘PR disaster’, so how could Waggott or anybody else have avoided that?

I did, and none of those ‘comms’ steps would have avoided a PR disaster. 

[chaddyrovers]

dont agree Matty but of course you would disagree with me, see ya

[Mattyblue]

So you can’t explain how those steps could have avoided a PR disaster- unsurprisingly, as obviously they couldn’t possibly have.

It's a PR disaster regardless of communication.

Especially when a senior member of staff is on the same packet as running the whole women's team for a year? I'm pretty sure?

If Rovers decided to sell the stadium, chaddy would simply demand a video explaining the decision to the stakeholders.

Wrong here RF99. Like with the Senior Training Centre being sold that they tried, I called it out straight away and said it's was completely and utter disgrace to do it. 

Rovers PR and media relations are poor as ever. Look at India Court and the mess around that. They tried to ignore it instead of being proactive and control the story.

Not quite, it would go like this:

1. In response to everyone who has a functioning brain cell going absolutely mental about this, chaddy would be responding fanatically by regurgitating the club's reasons for doing it without ever stating his own opinion on the matter due to him either not having one or not being capable of having one.

2. He would then clarify that he will be down Witton Park every week to watch his Rovers because it is his choice and he will never not support his club. Just get over it.

3. Repeat 1 and 2 for eternity until the sun explodes and consumes the Earth.
