And you can't even use the 10% off in the Roverstore to knock a bit of money off the new kit! £5 price increase on last season and fewer benefits. Waggott out.

Probably because it wasn't a guaranteed embarrassing defeat like it was under the previous manager.

Pre season 23/24

Think a few are flying into Bratislava. Graz is the closest airport but no direct flights. -

As much as a handful of Rovers fans wanting to watch Rovers in a friendly in some Austrian backwater is pretty minor in the grand scheme of things, this is just the latest in a long line of examples of Rovers showing sheer contempt for the fanbase. -
23/24 kit; is a new sponsor needed?
roversfan2001 replied to alex l's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
If we're classing 04/05 as a lighter blue kit then most of our kits fall into that bracket! -

2014/15 and 2018/19. Before that was the early 90s. Most of our kits in our early years used the lighter blue. -

It's not a choice between the two though is it? Just like with the season ticket pricing structure, though no doubt someone will be along shortly to say that we wouldn't have been able to sign Tronstad or Sigurdsson if we only charged £280. -

I don't think a location was ever rumoured but the rumour was 2 games, one on Friday 14th and one on Saturday 15th. The rumours have now dried up and there's radio silence from the club regarding it. Meanwhile a club 10 miles west of us have laid on free coaches from Benidorm to their game 90 minutes away. Chalk and cheese compared to the shambles behind the scenes at Ewood. -
Where Waggott really got me was his treatment of young adults during the Covid season and the season after. I paid £179 for a season ticket and didn't see a single live game. When the next season rolled round, any adult or senior who bought a season ticket in 20/21 got a decent wedge knocked off. Young adults got absolutely nothing, because we got iFollow. No consideration given to either any games on Sky, or households with more than one season ticket (or how easy it was to watch games without an iFollow subscription, but that's a fine line to tread). It stank.

Rovers fixtures 23/24
roversfan2001 replied to chaddyrovers's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
It isn't unknown for both us and Burnley to be at home on the same day/night... it's normally avoided obviously but it's happened at least once recently. -
This. For anyone under the age of 21, the only piece of success they've been around for was the League One season. A group of people who are too young to even remember the relative heights of the mid 2000s. Admittedly the ST prices for those under 23 are good compared to the adult prices, but when these young adults turn 23 and their season ticket more than doubles in price, plenty will think twice about renewing. The cut off was 25 for a brief period but this was quietly changed; another one of Waggott's bright ideas.

Barring some radical change both on and off the pitch, I won’t be renewing for next season. Been a season ticket holder since I was 8 years old but I can’t justify spending hundreds of pounds on something I simply don’t enjoy anymore. I get the feeling that I’m far from the only person with this stance either.

Season tickets 2022/23
roversfan2001 replied to JHRover's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
I do believe the Riverside price hike was brought in for the 2020/21 season under the guise of 'if we have to enforce social distancing it's easier to move people around if everyone has paid the same'. I can somewhat understand that logic being retained last summer but it's abundantly clear that all of that is well and truly in the past. But this is Waggott we're on about, and stealth price rises are his speciality. -

Are we supposed to be happy with these prices?
