1864roverite Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 Thoughts anyone? Now almost July with an end to the season in sight and likelihood of championship football for another season (at least). Granted we do have a distant chance of a play off spot but it is a long shot. I would have thought there would be rumblings about next seasons shirts as well as season tickets costs as well as perhaps what the start of next season may look like or even start for that matter. Any snippets out there ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JHRover Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 I'm not a businessman but I would have thought having new shirts on sale now or asap would be a good idea, as would season tickets. Many people who have been unable to go on holiday, to matches or to the pub etc. over the last few months will have some spare cash to spend. As the lockdown relaxes and we get into July and August the chances are people will find other things to spend money on, including potentially taking the kids away on a summer holiday. I've lost track but I think we have at least another year of Umbro. Can't remember if Bet 10 signed up for 2 years or 3 or if they are carrying on. I saw something yesterday that the intention was to start next season in September to ensure it is finished in time for the Euros next June. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaddyrovers Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 Its seems that the EFL, PL and FA havent thought when next season will start. or about pre season. The club is trying sell this season shirts and other clothing items but Rovers need to next shirt on sale by August/September Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To the best of my knowledge we have another year of Umbro & 10Bet, both out at the end of next season (whenever that is). Unknown as to whether they are seasonally dated deals or based on calendar years to June etc... would have to assume seasonally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 Who would buy a season ticket right now? No idea when we can return and being asked to give your money to a club that will hand it straight to Smallwood and Sam Hart. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claytons Left Boot Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 Anyway, now we know that we’ll be in the Championship next season, I look forward to Mr Waggott putting the season tickets on sale in the morning.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doogs Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 After this season and Tony's baffling team selections, Constant square pegs in round holes. Players like Bennett, Bretherton, Holtby, Gally, Johnson, no goalie, I wont be bothering renewing my season ticket. I have had enough.. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RevidgeBlue Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 I'm thinking at the moment that I'll be renewing to whatever is available but unless Mowbray goes or there is a complete 180 in our performances I won't be attending many games once fans are allowed back in to the ground. I've had enough after watching two seasons of utter garbage and I'd rather enjoy the free time I have. I realise this might not be a massive incentive for Waggott and the V's to pot Mowbray but I don't want it on my conscience that the Club folded at a point when I hadn't renewed my ST either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This season should all be wrapped up by end of July. Players have only recently returned from almost three months off so I'd give them a week off when season begins and then gear up for new season to start on Sat 5 Sept.. Gives clubs five to 6 weeks to sort out contract issues and effect player trading. If God created the heavens and earth in a mere six days then surely it's not beyond the wit of absurdly highly paid football personnel to do what they need to in the approximate six week gap between 2019/20 finishing and 2020/21 starting. Can't see fans being allowed back into stadia until Jan 2021 so we are probably looking at half season tickets. Family / business season tickets are firmly off my agenda whilst Mowbray is our manager - I simply refuse to 'invest' in a Rovers' team, IMO, which, in the main, serves up Sunday pub league football. Wonder if Waggott and Mowbray etc will volunteer substantial pay cuts, as opposed to present deferrals, to help the club through what is going to be a very, very tricky financial period !?!? The club's income during coronavirus has been lost, not deferred! Interesting times ahead. Edited July 1, 2020 by Mercer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus we have European competitions to be played in August. I am more than to sign up for 2 seasons season ticket right now. The question is how are fans going to watch games next season if we arent allowed back into stadiums when the restart starts I can see around a date of 19th of September as a possible date.

1864roverite Posted July 1, 2020 Author Share Posted July 1, 2020 Fans into grounds will be allowed October and I think it will be initially one third or a half capacity. Shouldn’t really affect us but how good would it be to see a boost in crowds for next season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rog of the rovers Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 On the subject of new shirts, the Umbro teams have started to release/leak their kits for the 2020/2021. Our last year of the current Umbro deal, if I remember correctly. Heard some rumours to a new supplier, which I'll keep to myself as it may be complete tosh, but if true would be a real crowd pleaser. As for this year, Umbro and 10Bet confirmed, hopefully a more royal blue, after two seasons of lighter shades. Keeper kit design already confirmed with Bournemouth, just assume we'll have the same or different colours. https://www.footyheadlines.com/2020/07/derby-county-20-21-home-kit.html for possible clues.

Mattyblue Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 Does it begin with a ‘H’? That company always seems to drive the football hipsters wild on Twitter... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gumbi Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 Hopefully it is Hummel and not Adidas, Nike or Puma. Hummel would actually put some thought into the design unlike the others (especially Adidas) as they knock out pretty much the same design for everyone bar the major teams. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHRover Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 Hopefully Hummel or Macron as they put effort in. Umbro and Nike very dull. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
