  1. Do you have any ad blockers or javascript blockers active?

    When you hover over the "Next" link do you see a URL appear in the bottom left of the screen?

    Can you click numbers to jump to a certain page? What about the chevrons to move forward?

    When did this all start?

    By not giving contracts to a multitude of non-players in recent years.

    By getting our money's worth when selling players (even Armstrong was sold short by around £5m on false pretences). £3m for Raya? £3.5m for NZonzi? Cairney? Hanley? Duffy? Even the outgoing Nyambe and Rothwell are worth much more than we will get for them out of contract.

    By investing in solid young players instead of persisting with older players (we actually do this to an extent, in fairness, but there's no need for Johnson to still be here at the expense of an academy player or a more mobile purchased player).

    By being better at negotiating contracts.

    By being more astute with ticket pricing, which generates more income via tickets AND kiosks AND club shop.

    Actual marketing! I think the £14.60 is the first good marketing initiative the club has had in years! The Oxford promotion game would've had a semi-competent CEO raking in the money for the club.

    Equally, we should be raking in literally millions in Chilean pesos currently. Sell Chile shirts in the club shop. Sell Rovers streaming to Chilean fans. Sell Rovers shirts (even old ones) to Chilean fans.

    By finding a sponsor for the Riverside.

    By maintaining the ground regularly at a low level, instead of paying out for full repairs a year or two later.

    By making sure a £300k CEO earns his money.

    Basically if they run the club competently and with a bit of foresight, this club could and should either be more competitive in this league, OR be more profitable/sustainable, and probably both.

    As the kids used to say ... TL;DR

    Don't forget you have 24 hours after the final whistle to rate each players performance, and the player with the highest average gets our Man of the Match award.

    We'll draw 2 random winners from everyone that votes & they'll win a Tony Parkes Art Print, courtesy of Turnstile Magazine.

    Having some technical difficulties with the data feed from the supplier at the moment, hopefully fixed soon.

    Perhaps it's for the best 🙂

    Have a look at the drawing attached.

    The row of houses in the bottom left is New Bank Road. The row in the top left is Revidge Road and the row at the top right is Dukes Brow. 

    The building beyond the top right corner of the pitch is the Dog Inn. The two ends of terraced houses on the right, behind the stand is now Higher Bank St. 

    As per my last post, the pavilion at the right of the picture is now part of Sacred Heart Primary School. Half of the original building still stands at the end of the school, it looks like an extension but it's actually older than the rest of the building.

    Where is that diagram from? I've seen it before I'm sure.

  5. Well this is timely from Andy Watson on Twitter

     

    Of the clubs in the Championship, only 2 have seen an increase in attendance since the 18/19 season, and they're the ones that have just been relegated. Rovers have the 3rd largest drop in match day attendance.

    I know they come across as incompetent but by not attending we're giving the management (off the field and indirectly on the field) very little wriggle room to even try and make things work. I'm pretty sure Waggott will be thinking that even if he's not saying it.

    edit: just to clarify, I’m not suggesting fan absence is what is making the off the field management look bad, but this is the internet in 2021 and someone will make that leap and be very upset that that is what they think I think.
