Shillitto, - Rovers have sold their best players ever since I began watching them. Pickering, Newton, England, Duff, Shearer all went along with a host of other top players. It was always thought that the money recieved would strengthen the team. IT NEVER DID. IT NEVER WILL.

Rovers are to offer a new deal to Aaron Mokoena. His present contract expires in 12 months time. Skysports

--> QUOTE(ste b @ Aug 8 2006, 13:09 ) 433149[/snapback] A lot stopped when the price was half of what it is now. Its not just cheap tickets that will bring fans back to Rovers, although its undoubtably a factor. Theres a lot of fans who simply "cant be arsed", but would rather give another excuse. That's true, but no doubt pricing has taken it's toll and will continue to do so. The big problem for rovers, is that once fans stay away, they rarely re-appear. The club are on a sliperry slope IMO, and simply making a half empty Ewood even nearer. This catageory A+/£36 in the BBE, is a very dangerous ploy. On one hand the club asks for ideas as how to improve atmosphere, then on the other encourages the fans into the pubs.

In case you didn't notice Jan, they already have.

and when the price rises to £45 in the BBE? It's got to stop somewhere.

Ended 2-3.

Probably.

Yes. No sign of Acuna.

Team posted by Lee: Friedel, Mokoena, Neill, Khizanishvili, Gray, Reid, Bentley, Savage, Pedersen, McCarthy, Roberts. Orville drunk again? Probably get in trouble for this, but latest from Lee: Hughes has started making changes, and to good effect with Paul Gallagher replacing Benni McCarthy on 65 and kess than three minutes later he sets up the Gamstmeister who drills the ball home from the edge of the area to make it 3-2 to Rovers... ROVERS: Friedel, Mokoena, Neill (sub Douglas 60 mins), Khizanishvili (sub Matteo 68 mins), Gray, Reid, Bentley, Savage (sub Peter 60 mins), Pedersen, McCarthy (sub Gallagher 65 mins), Roberts. Subs not used: McEveley, Jeffers, Tugay, Brown. AACHEN: Nicht, Herzig, Krontiris, Koen, Ebbers, Lehmann, Leiwakobessy, Regheckampf, Moll, Casper, Rosler (sub Dum 63 mins).

Thanks Clare and Ozz. I'm interested in what you both think about Joe Garner. The lad was outstanding a couple of seasons ago, but last season looked a long way short of what's needed to make a professional footballer - at any level. OK, or well impressed?

Well it's the first I knew about it, but I reckon BRISA should have their say, one way or another.

Cheapest adult ticket anywhere in the ground - £27, most expensive - £39. Yep, £39 in the JW upper. Preposterous.

Bryan Douglas's.

Working on the new sky HD boxes - they have 160 GB of useable memory. That equates to 80 hrs of standard definition programmes, or 40 hrs of high def programmes. So 80GB should give you 40 hrs of programme memory.

There is a link to that board in the pre season thread.

You're right Le Chuck. When one leg is knocked behind the other, there's no way of staying upright. You must have had your ankles tapped at some time BP.

No Philipl. It wasn't a dive, if you get chance to see it again, you'll see his ankle being tapped. He couldn't avoid going down.

Spot on BR. Not easy to spot at first, but a definate penalty.

JFH wont be joining Celtic. His agent is now going to talk to three Prem clubs. Can't see rovers being one of those though.

The only thing I would say about the £10m, is that may be a figure to include wages. No club could say to a manager - here's £10m to spend, don't worry about the cost of the contract.

25 career goals.............Hmmmm

Jeffers to be joined by TWO strikers, one probably Roberts. LET earlier today.
