A 25% Trump style tariff perhaps? 30% if you attend not wearing Blue/White.

You were on a hiding to nothing when taking the mantle of media comms. Our frustrations aren't with you as an individual (and I hope you're aware of that) because you can only communicate what is communicable and my personal history with WATR information dissemination, is lacklustre at best. Reading between the lines, your personal stance is not aligned to WATR's stance for next action steps, it's likely they don't align with mine either. Which is perfectly acceptable - if its communicated and everyone knows what they're signing up for. I'd highly suspect that if the WATR group came out and said "we want to continue our critical friend approach" - the majority of the previous weeks/months sign-ups to the group, would ask for a refund and for their membership to be rescinded. All anyone who is a member, was a member or is interested in becoming a member wants to know is: What are you standing for and what is your approach? Allow supporters to make an informed decision. You'll then know if the member base agrees with you (if they monitor metrics for sign-up numbers, lapsed memberships, etc.)

So a middle finger to the request. But they're open to an exchange of ideas... Turns the gas hob up a notch.

I'm in the category of, not until Venkys leave. Ultimately I do not want to put money in their pockets and if that is at the expense of supporting the players on the pitch, then for me, it has to be. Even they're treated as poorly as the rest of us, you only have to see Elliott Bennett's podcast appearance a few weeks ago. It's a general lack of investment, whether that be the quality and longevity of players signed or contract extensions for the quality players we have who can get us out of this league, with better players around them. Up until this season, I attended 4 or 5 games a season regardless of my ST status, even that's dissipated.

Was Elliott Jackson at the back of the queue when they were handing out brains? The headline figure is that there's fifty quid off at the riverside. That's the headline figure is it? I wonder if he would be willing to pay that price for a ST if required.

I imagine they'd hoped we were still in the hunt for a playoff place and the manager hadn't ruled it out 3 games into his tenure, by deciding now was the time to release these figures. There's no logical reasoning behind any of it, timings, pricing, the PR spin put out. They're now just hoping people will loyally purchase tickets regardless of what happens. I'm sure some will, I'm just hopeful it's a low enough number for Venkys to realise their only option is to piss right off into the sunset.

It's a rebuild this time is it? Journey, Project, Rebuild. Three, word, slogan.

Noticed a lot of the academy players being interviewed for Instagram on Rovers' page recently, more than normal. Could just be it's international week, or might we have written this season off and start to see more of the youth play a part in the run in?

Yeah having seen it from the side angle again he does look off. Good finish TBF.

At first look I thought Dolan was well onside.

I haven't seen the goal, but was it that easy a save?

Very few, and that's because he offers little goal threat. He's positionally been dropping further back towards the defensive line as he gets older, because at this level, he's not proficient enough in the attacking third.

A makeshift stand on public property outside the ground on a matchday. "Sign this form if you want Venkys out".

Didn't you answer this question yourself on Sunday in this exact thread or was that an assumption on your part?

150 applicants, a 'thorough interviewing process' and we end up with a manager who's football methods look the antithesis of his predecessor. Succession planning indeed.

Funny you should say that. Gestede and Swaggot have just been on the TV at the ground...

Is that Seddon chap Ashley Phillips' agent? Or was when he was at Rovers?

Can I ask how funding Rovers is not funding Venkys?

We didn't see any mid season bounce when Eustace took over JDT and the sames happening now. Attacking wise there's not a lot of cohesion, defensively we've gone backwards.

Just seen both their goals. Comical defending and keeping all round. What happened to Kargbo?

Well we certainly look worse at the back since Ismael's arrival and don't look any better up top as of yet.

Are Rovers was and California Rover one and the same? If they are, that might explain the absence of a video. They seem to have opposing views to the majority of the WATR membership.

As I said when we appointed Eustace. He and the team will get my backing, until given a reason not to. My issues, as always, are with those higher up. Allez les bleus.

My thoughts too, easy enough to back someone at large odds, write a story about them being a candidate and lay it off when the price shortens. Easy Money. Aye.

Ok?
