Yeah when I mentioned 'the club' I was kind of lumping owners in there as well. You can see my reasons for not renewing at the top of page 43, but as I say its not a case of "If Mowbray goes" or "If we aren't going to be challenging for promotion". It's the whole current package.

The blame for falling season tickets lie with the boardroom / club. They can't get an extra player through the door because they have lost the fanbase.

I mean, come on, Can they get anything ready on time?

I've not renewed. Only the second time in just over 30 years, the first of which was Kean in the Championship. I renewed that year the minute Kean left, but not sure if this year would be the same. Unlike under Kean, I will pick and choose individual matches to attend. We go into this season with:- • Hitting the £400 barrier for a season ticket. Psychologically to me it now costs a significant amount of money and I miss most midweek games anyway. The enjoyment of the football on offer has not been consistently high throughout the last 3 years. • Little belief of any success this season. • No Transfer activity to drum up interest. • A manager who constantly oversees terrible runs of form, and makes the same mistakes again and again. And yet treats the fans as though they are stupid by trying to dress up performances with bullshit statistics and excuses. • A boardroom structure which doesn't appear to function in the best interests of the club. It's the first time in my Rovers-supporting life that all of the above apply. The break from Ewood has been dangerous. It showed that I didn't miss it as much as I thought I would. Maybe come September, when I know the games are happening at Ewood and I can see the glow of the lights, I will regret not being there. Who knows.

That would be a disaster for the possession statistics.

Can't clear a high ball. No way. Defenders are coming.

Oh yes. Probably. i just skimmed over it quickly at work and read it the other way.

Just checking you know it's on Wednesday and not at the weekend !

What chance we end up with a Leeds player on loan after Mowbray asks Bielsa who is avaialble?

Rovers in a play off final and the lateral flow test says positive 7 days before. Hmmm. (yes i know it's unrealistic us being there)

Basically Hogwarts don't invest in a proper defence and instead over-promote the kids from the youth academy. Doesn't really work and all goes to rat shit. The top guy eventually loses his job (permanently) because of it.

We should be trying to assemble a squad capable of promotion. Reading the last few pages it sounds like we are simply trying to assemble a squad.

Lets hope he's better at recruiting players than Waggot is at recruiting fans.

Just started looking into this over the weekend as I'd not worried about next season until after the Euros. I miss more than half of the midweek games due to work, and the other midweek games are a pain to get to as I have to finish work early and rush around to get home and down for kick off. A "Saturday' season ticket would be ideal for me and I suspect many others, but the club wouldn't entertain it as they would presume it would kill the mid-week attendances. Therefore, under the current climate, it might be time for me to switch and become a match-by-match punter. Then you look at the prices and see they expect people to be paying £32 and £36 as the cheapest tickets for a significant number of games (all of the Cat A and Cat A+ will probably be weekend) and realise that match by match is not going to be cost effective at all. So now I won't be attending most weekends either and will pick maybe a few big weekend games. The pricing policy doesn't work. It just pushes away those who aren't obsessive enough to buy a season ticket regardless. And £400 for a season ticket isn't enticing enough for me to take the plunge.

If we want to get promoted we need to keep Armstrong and get rid of Mowbray. If we want to get relegated we need to sell Armstrong and keep Mowbray. If we want to have mid table mediocrity we need to keep Mowbray and keep Armstrong, just like we did last season. That's basically what has been posted. Which part doesn't make sense?

Read the post that I quoted and then my post again. Then look at last seasons final league table.

If you want bottom half mediocrity keep both.

Tomorrow

That's a very good listen although when you get to the manner of his departure it will still boil your blood again.

Have you been to the Birthday Party yet?

I played it in VR at my mates, but fortunately only had the option of playing it through in flat at home !

I found it started off good and then gets a bit repetitive, then the story really picks back up again about half way through. Stick at it. It is. It must take hours and hours longer to complete in VR as you find yourself just creeping around every corner.
