I wasn't a fan of Saxton tbh he was way too loyal to players who were past their best.

He had to be loyal to players as we had no money to replace them

That is true but Mackay did get the money to buy Colin Hendry for the Full Members Cup Semi Final .

 One of the finest signings this club ever made !

I think Colin first time round cost about 30 grand. Or it might have been 45, bit difficult remembering now.

Even more of an issue with Hyam out, like he was on Saturday.

How come Hyam got 8/10 in the LT ratings.

i was his debut V Ipswich in the full members cup Semi final.

I think £30k is correct.

Mercer had said the day before that he wasnt playing. So must have been a figment of your imagination.

Jesus,this thread will be hot post Match if we lose...the tension is building!

If it wasn't for Mackay, the premiership win wouldn't of happened.

Football works in mysterious ways and whilst Hull were expected to struggle a bit due to the embargo, it looks like it may have provoked a bit of a backs against the wall, let's fight with what we've got mentality. It's early days mind and a few injuries may end up hurting them as the season progresses. For now though, I think it'll be another struggle for us. That being said, had we held on in Saturdays game we'd be a lot more positive going into the game, fine margins and all that. I'm going for a 1-1 draw.

We really need something from this game. Hull started well in their opening 2 games, so another tough one for us. 

Another loss, making it 4 on the bounce will set even more alarm bells ringing.

[arbitro]

Have they gone a bit early with this? Surely tickets won't be going off sale today or is someone down there confused.

 

[Tomphil2]

Absolutely off their heads this lot.

[Aqualung]

Don't worry. You can still watch the game on Rovers TV! 

Kick off still be shown as 3 pm. 

Jobsworths. 

[JHRover]

Maybe the club shop is shut again or there's another 'staff event' meaning no tickets available tomorrow

[Tomphil2]

Seems it was the same last time away at Hull.

Such a tinpot way to operate in 2025.

[Waggy76]

Just another way of putting 2 fingers up to the Rovers fans !

 

 

[Tomphil2]

Priceless defenders of the realm as usual...

'Unsold tickets have to go on the team bus so they can be given back and sold on the day'   er... there are no sales on the day !

'Remaining tickets have to be give back to the home club so they can sell them to their fans'  ...somehow for this fixture at that club i don't think there'll be any need for that unless i'm missing something.

By the way given the nudges to all digital tickets non of it makes any sense at all.

In 40 years of supporting this Club I have never felt so distant from it. 

Not remotely bothered by the result, not at all bothered about the prospect of going down. 

Couldn't care less about who leaves or who signs. 

The scum bags at the top of the tree have done this to me. I absolutely resent everyone connected to the Venkys other than the coaching staff and players who I feel sorry for. 

The owners, Suhail and Gestede need to get the hell out of our Club before I start to enjoy it again. Unfortunately I can't see that happening for some time yet.

stoke away last season was the first game I wasn’t bothered about the score, the scumbags have completely ruined the supporters connection with the club.

3 losses this season - one to Bradford - have elicited 0 emotion from me.
