I must admit that took me a bit by surprise but as my daughter has moved up an age bracket I thought that might be just because she'll need a new card. Didn't realise it was across the board. Booking fees in general (not just Rovers) annoy me. Slogans such as "Tickets start at £20" and when you go to book, there's a booking fee on top. There's absolutely no way to purchase without the fee so tickets don't "start at £20" do they!?

Just a bit of advice to anyone rejected by V12 - as I have posted previously, I was rejected for reasons only V12 seem to know so applied for a 12mth interest free credit card. Went to pay with said card today only to find I couldn't purchase them online. I rang the club & was told that V12 hadn't informed them about finance not being accepted, so the very helpful lady had to manually add them back onto the system so I could buy. All sorted now thankfully. So, if you're going to purchase by other means before the deadline, such as I did, then don't leave it til the last minute & check that they're back on system first. The 7th is a Sunday so the club won't be open.

I think one of them was looking for his mummy cos it was past his bedtime!

Not particularly helpful at this point, but worth bearing in mind for the future: the open training sessions which are usually organised as part of Pre-season are a great opportunity for getting signatures. My daughter went down last summer and got just about everyone of note who was on the books at the time - No Dom Hyam unfortunately. As you can see here TK was running out of space!

I said exactly this to the guy sitting next to me last night. It's got to the point where I don't even bother shouting "man on" anymore as he just seems to know where absolutely everybody is on the pitch! During the WC, I heard Gary Lineker make a comment about Lionel Messi seemingly having an aerial view of the pitch in his head all the time. Now, I'm not comparing AW to Messi (not yet anyway!😜😄) but he does seem to have an element of this kind of spatial awareness going on. I bet a few of us have also gone "who the f*ck is that t....oh, great ball Adam" I just hope we get next season out of him before the vultures swoop as they're already starting to circle. You never know, with promotion we may hang on a bit longer, but I'm not holding my breath.

I just knew it, as soon as I looked to see who was going to be the ref last night. Well, we can now add two footed challenges & handball in the penalty area being ok according to this absolute tosspot's ever growing list of decisions against us! Oh and simulation not being a yellow card as well. Not that I'm totally blaming the ref as we're so toothless up front it's bordering on criminal, but he certainly didn't help.

Here we go, not perfect as it does need tweaking for stairs etc but this took me 5 mins in MS word using a screen shot from Ticketmaster! I'm sure people at the club have a more detailed seating plan! It doesn't look central as I couldn't screen shot the whole stand with the seats but the empty bit on the LHS is the same as on the RHS.

Wow! 🤦‍♂️

The most annoying thing is it's not even seats that they've replaced, they're just white covers so they could've easily adjusted it. It was messing with my head on sat evening. I think I figured out what happened - they started in the middle with the gap between the V and the E = 3 letters on each side. They then had 2 people (or groups of) doing each side but they didn't use block lettering. You've only got to look at both R's, they're different widths! They could've easily got it right by using the seating plan & just overlaying the lettering on a PC screen, that would've given them the exact seats that needed covers!

Spot on, yeah I'd forgotten that one, was it on Trav?

Originally put this in the Championship thread where last night's ref was being discussed, however it's probably more appropraite to post in here: Tonights's ref is Tim Robinson. The same guy who reffed our cup games with Leicester & Sheff Utd (where he failed to show a 2nd yellow to Jack Robinson). He also took charge of our games with Coventry & Bristol City (both away) earlier in the season sending off Jake Garret & Daniel Ayala in the process. Garret's was subsequently rescinded and, imo, Ayala's was a couple of soft yellows. This f*cker owes us one!! edit: As @Tyrone Shoelaces has correctly pointed out in the Champ thread, he also completely missed the Leicester player kicking out at Travis in that game. - I'm beginning to think this guy needs a white cane & a Labrador!

He looks too old to be refereeing anything other than a Sunday league game! He was blowing out of his arse for most of the match. Anyway, tonights's ref is Tim Robinson.

Adam was an absolute joy to watch last night and just brought a big smile to my face on numerous occasions. His in-game awareness is off the chart for someone of his age & experience. His mind is a good 2-3 passes ahead of what's going on. The little drops of the shoulder, taking the ball on the turn, calm under pressure, one touch volleyed passes..........I could go on, but I can't wait to see what player he does end up turning into - the sky's the limit.

It does seem a bit self defeatist. I would expect that most people would want to take up the DD option to spread the cost & if they're rejecting me then a lot of people are going to really struggle. I did however do a bit of research (ie Googling!) & it would appear that V12 'may' prefer people with less than perfect history as it 'could' give them more opportunity to make a few extra quid in late fees etc. Allegedly of course.

Last year mine was just over £50 over 8mths. As @smiller14 says, I renewed late so the 10mth option wasn't available. Mine will be a bit more expensive this year as my daughter is now in the 'Young Adult' category. Ironically, after getting declined, I applied for a credit card (I don't have a credit card currently) with 12mths interest free on purchases & was immediately accepted with a £2k limit! Figure that one out - permanent credit of £2k or £550 over 10mths?! Anyway, thank you V12, you've saved me having to pay interest on my ST this year. 👍

What is it with that V12 finance company that Rovers use? The club really don't help themselves! Thought I'd go on & renew today (as it's payday for me I thought I'd arrange it so that my payments came out before I spend up!) Bearing in mind, this is only a month or 2 after V12 had sent me an email thanking me for settling my agreement for last season & if they could be of any assistance in the future to get in touch........Declined! WTF? Absolutely nothing on my credit history has changed over the last 12mths other than me settling my account for last season & being 12mths better off on what's left on my mortgage! I had the same issue a couple of years ago, it seems they only want my custom every other year!

Travis is the one who annoys me the most with this. At the beginning of the season he scored a couple of great goals and also another at the end of last season at Dumpdale. Yet lately he seems to want to do anything but shoot. There were at least 2 or 3 occasions on Sat when he could've pulled the trigger but didn't. If it ends up in row Z then fair enough, but it could also fly into the top corner. If you don't buy a ticket, you don't win the lottery.

Hmm, not sure. Give us a clue, I could only find these images of their 1902 & 1905 kits 😄: Must admit, I didn't know that until you posted the question - looks like they couldn't decide which was the 'right way round' either!

Yes please Ian. Thanks

Done. I must be the baby on here, I was only in the next to top age bracket! 😂 On a similar note, I hate it when you have to complete your DoB on a form on your phone & the year starts at the current one & you have to scroll back through every year as there's no option to just type it in. Some of you lot must have no fingerprint left when you've finished! 😜😄

Those that know me, know I can't let that one lie - it's Jessica by the Allman Brothers btw. 😉 (Unless of course this is a one off "day trip to Birmingham" special with it's own theme song)

Thanks, yes the 10 does look better. Thanks for the info. 👍

@Herbie6590Where did you get the number from mate? Looks really good. Also did you get it applied with a press or just a normal iron? Cheers

One of the biggest things for me would be to introduce a proper covered section for disabled supporters. It really does make me feel embarrassed seeing supporters in wheelchairs getting piss wet through at the front of the Riverside.

I've been lucky enough to experience, in person, all of Rovers 'recent' history major moments: FMC '87, Palace '89 (just don't!), Wembley Play-off '92, Anfield '95, Cardiff '02. But for me, nothing beats that day at Anfield. Me & my Liverpool supporting mate got stung by a tout with 2 dodgy tickets, only to then stumble across a guy selling 2 tickets in the main stand because his daughter and son-in-law couldn't make it. We got them at face value and were sat next to him - top bloke! Absolutely amazing day. I was at Uni in Liverpool and when we got back to the Halls of Residence bar I saw a lad in a West Ham shirt. I promptly bought him a pint and joined him in a rendition of "Ludo, Ludo, Ludo!" 😆 As others have said, I would've loved to have seen Dougie & Ronnie play. Heard so much about them on here and from my dad.
