  1. People do do it from every club. The problem for me is that Rovers should handle these things better because they used to be superb and very encouraging with stuff like this.
  2. It didn't used to be, back in my student days I remember going down there with a small team, we just needed shots of the outside. A guy poked his head out of a door and asked if we needed help. We said we were doing a student assignment about the town, and he invited us in and we ended up filming inside and even pitchside. Very friendly and allowed us all the time we wanted. The fellow went off and tried to find out if any management or players were around we could interview, they weren't but he invited us back. Contrast that with, when we had permission from a senior member of the club to film outside the stadium... "Are you takin' piss out of Rovers?" Which was how Newsham approached us. I hear he was always good with new people. I'd imagine the no photo's policy was put in place around the same time. The funny thing is that the press, who could roam the club quite freely on match days were spreading bad PR on a daily basis. Thinking that stopping a few fans from doing it (which we weren't) would stop the flow of bad press was nonsensical. You'd hope that was in the past but banning someone for being that much of a fan they are going out of their way to produce content (which takes a lot of time and effort, and in some cases costs money), for free, is madness. What next, suing 4000 Holes for all the xerox'd photo's of ex-players they've published over the years? They need to handle this stuff better as one thing the club needs is its fans.
  3. Yes just some guidelines would be good. Though I doubt they would do that as they like to change them to suit their own ends. After what happened with Kean the club became very paranoid and sadly it looks as if it still is.
  4. If we can get a result against Hull we'll be within touching distance of playoffs and will hopefully make Venkys get their hands in their pockets.
  5. Excellent win and so glad to see Nutt getting another goal.
  6. It's Rovers property so if they wanted they could ask him to leave. It's courtesy for them, to someone who is a fan and promoting the club, to not ask him to leave. Just for contrast, Burnley, Accy Stanley and Everton all very good to deal with regarding filming. I've filmed at places dealing in military armored vehicles where I've had to sign None Disclosure Agreements that aren't as strict as Rovers. They should be welcoming attention not challenging it.
  7. I was once rudely told by a steward I couldn't film the plane with Kean Out written on it. When I asked why I was told. "Because Sky own the rights." I replied. "What? To the clouds?" After a bit of an argument, and quite a number of people sitting behind me starting to get annoyed at this lady, a police officer came over and told her to come away. She was trying her best to get me kicked out and when they got to the bottom of the steps I saw the officer giving her a bit of a bollocking. Sometimes they treat fans like sh**. Then there was the time we were filming a bit of promo for Tash outside of the ground and John Newsham swore at us and told us we had to walk about 6 paces further away if we wanted to film or he'd get security (we were on the pavement, not the clubs property). Then he came back in his car and revved his engine every time we started to film. And on that occasion we'd been given permission to film by the club on the premises. Sad that this is still happening I thought we'd turned a corner.
  8. Sorry to stir bad memories but which was the game where he did about 20 consecutive mistakes in our own box then gave away a penalty? I've honestly never seen such ineptitude from a footballer. I'm still convinced he wasn't actually a footballer. It wouldn't be surprising considering it wasn't a proper manager that signed him.
  9. I like Mowbray but what a load of crap.
  10. The damage was done when we didn't beat them at their place, it was there for the taking.
  11. Same old, concede silly late goals but at least we can now concentrate on the league.
  12. Excellent movement from him to get into that position though. Could it be that he didn't have as much work to do and had more space when he wasn't being played as the solitary striker. How do they play him in the under 23's?
  13. Bit sad to troll your fellow fans when there's much more to celebrate but different strokes for different folks I suppose. As for the game, wasn't a classic but was it ever going to be against Millwall? Hope Mowbray has learned a bit more about his players after this.
  14. Evans was stupid, if you keep kicking around a players heels in the box there's every chance it'll end up as a penalty. How old is Evans, 28? Ffs, should know better.
  15. Rangers https://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2019/01/04/report-rangers-start-initial-talks-to-sign-fulhams-kevin-mcdonal/
  16. If we're to crack on we should really be replacing players like Smallwood. Good worker but shouldn't be a first teamer in the Championship.
  17. Very annoying it's not on iFollow.
  18. Haha, Katie's at it again. Don't worry he thinks anyone who disagrees with him is obsessed.
  19. If it could reach £7m then we must have shelled out quite a bit to start off with. It's all stupid, imagine if he gets to the point of triggering one of the clauses costing the club a few million. Will Venkys tell Mowbray to drop him? I remember people saying it was stupid when we signed Rhodes for all that money but at least he looked the part and played in the team from day 1, he also had a very good track record in League 1.
