  1. I was, for the first time in ages, considering coming to watch this as tickets are cheap as chips but my husband has just announced he's got a meeting and my daughter is away on hols!
  2. If you run at pace into the box with the ball, chances are it's a pen. Rovers for many years have lacked a player who would just run at people and take the ball into the box. Why was Greal8sh the most fouled player? Because he carried the ball into dangerous areas and defenders panicked
  3. Look at how many players Yorkshire are missing and have been all season
  4. Exactly what I meant. Not that passion is everything but all good managers know when to show it, how to enthuse their players and how to celebrate without getting too carried away
  5. Well at least you'd get enthusiasm. No sleeping on the bench
  6. I dont attend either but I still care. I DO look for results, get excited if we win and would attend some games, especially if Mowbray left. I havent given up all hope yet
  7. I've been running 31 miles in July for Cancer Research UK . I've got the last mile left to run tomorrow. I'm well chuffed with myself for actually running that, for being disciplined enough to do it. I'm not a runner so this has beena huge challenge but I've done it.
  8. Don't know if there are fewer technophobe among rugby union fans but Sale sre not issuing STs at all. Its all by email or on your phone. To save on plastic, I think they said.
  9. Interestingly, I caught a bit of last night's match when my husband left it on, and I was very surprised to hear the commentator using the word overs. There isn't another word for it but an over is 6 balls, not 5. They were explaining that if you score more runs than the other team, you win. Never!!!!!! 🤪
  10. Depends how much they've done to engage with fans during lockdowns etc. If they've done well they'll probably have lost fewer fans than if they have not bothered much and just relied on fan loyalty. You simply can't do that nowadays.
  11. Do you really think even a fraction of his fee would be reinvested? And even if it was, do you think Mowbray would invest it well?
  12. Click on your name at top of post and it takes you to profile where there's an edit button
  13. I told them I no longer wanted to be on their mailing list a few years back when the only reply I received to a letter explaining my reasons for not buying a season ticket was 'OK. Bye so that's why I don't get mail any more. However, nor does anyone else in my household. Its several years since we bought STs but we have been to matches since so surely, using the address they do still have, they ought to have tried to tempt us. In contrast, Sale Sharks had problems with their ST system and the ticket office were replying to queries from fans on FB all weekend just to try to sort peoples tickets for them. First 500 to renew got invited to the club barbecue at the training ground to meet players and staff. Inexpensive PR
  14. You'd be surprised Paul at how many people still don't use smartphones, tablets, laptops, etc and don't have an email address. I know of at least a dozen in a relatively small circle of people who either don't have email, or claim they don't know how to access it. I also know of a fair number of people who claim they haven't received emails but have - they don't realise there's a spam folder and that occasionally things end up in there for no particular reason. Surely it's not beyond the club to check details and send a mail drop to those who had a season ticket in the last 3 years and don't have a registered email address? I'm not suggesting large scale mailings like we used to get but targeted mailings wouldn't tax anyone's resources or capabilities.
  15. I wouldn't go to another league club, but we used to go to Clitheroe if Rovers weren't at home on the same day, so it's not a shift of allegiance. And I find it insulting to suggest, as unsall did, that it's the loss of premiership football that lost fans and they'd come back if we were in the Premier League. Many would be back, if not as season ticket holders as walk ons, if there was any ambition, any competence, any sign that matters were on the up. Nobody expects miracles. Basic ability to run a Championship club would be a good start.
  16. Rovers used to be one of the main topics in our house. My son has been home for a couple of days and we've never mentioned them.
  17. I'm one of them. I no longer enjoy watching football much I watch odd games on TV and I like watching Clitheroe because its full on effort from both teams involved. But nowadays give me rugby over football any day. My daughter wants to take her little lad to a Rovers game and normally I'd go with her but I don't think, this season, we'll bother. I haven't fallen out of love with Rovers as a concept, but Rovers as they are now..... no thanks
  18. It was Hughes. He rang us when we're travelling back from France
  19. To be fair, nobody sends out packs like that nowadays, but they do have campaigns urging you to get your ST through social and main stream media. Local radio, local newspapers, etc. Clitheroe's marketing campaign is better than Rovers.
  20. I have to admit, I asked whether it was genuine considering he was at deaths door one minute and running 2 the next. If it had been up to me, I'd have run him out and let the umpires sort it out. Yorkshire started badly with the bat and never got better. Lancs upped their fielding and bowling, and just made it over the line. A good match as I thought, when Lancs started batting, it would be a slaughter. Would love to see a match between those 2 sides at full strength.
  21. The fact that they close the M66 every time I want to drive on it ie between 9 and 10 on a Friday evening. And that when they close it to do roadworks the road never ends up being any better. Been closed the last 3 Fridays now
  22. It was a nervy one last night at Old Trafford. Lancs fielding wasn't quite as sharp and aggressive as it usually is. They held their catches but looked as though they weren't quite sure with every catch until it was firmly in their grasp. Jennings and Allen looked like they'd all but won it with the opening partnership but then Durham got off to a flyer too. Back there again later today.
  23. No they won't. They will have bought in good faith. If the club decides to close a stand after selling tickets there, they shouldn't charge extra. When I go to the theatre we always buy the cheapest tickets for seats we are prepared to sit in. If they move us we don't pay extra. If the rest of the theatre is full then we sit in the seats weve chosen gladly
