It’s popping up on sports feeds all over. The comments from all over the world on it, from people who obviously This could be a master stroke at increasing Asian attendance even further, providing the £430 doesn’t put them off.

Not really. There’s little liquidity in those markets so if a bookie got stung they’ve no chance of balancing the books. That’s why you can only place a maximum of £20 on, for example, Wilcox to be next manager on skybet. And if 5 of us did that now I guarantee it would shorten up significantly from 12/1

So was it based on a couple of news stories or not? Make your mind up.

Yep. I’d say the best three teams we have seen at Ewood this season are the top 3 in that order.

That just validates his point. A couple of news stories appeared and it probably only took a small number of bets and Lambert was odds on. The bookies market is just an indication of where the money has gone.

The LT are just running with the “I’m leaving, I’ve had no contact about my contract renewal” line. Its hasn’t been announced by the club at all. Were in no different a position today as we were on Friday.

Well he’s taken over a Tony Mowbray team before and got them promoted. Surprising he’s been out of management for 6 years though.

Announced where?

He’s dropped cos Mowbray doesn’t pick him for some personal reason, either between the two or more likely due to contract negotiations. This has regularly been to the detriment of the team. However posters on here claim it is because he isn’t enough going forward and because he is out of contract. Yet he was replaced yesterday by someone who wasn’t good enough going forward, is out of contract and doesn’t play full back.

Disagree there chaddy. Sat in the Jack Walker DE in the first half watching lenihan waste cross after cross I was chuckling at the irony of Nyambe being dropped because he's out of contract and not good enough going forward whilst lenihan was there

In fact this is in general. They’ve put young adult prices up by 16%. They’ve put 12 to 18 year old prices up by 25%. Thats some price hike in 12 months!

Just having my first proper look at this. So if you’re a young adult, possibly at College or Uni, sitting in the cheapest seats in the ground your season ticket goes up by over 16% from the 4th June. But if you’re sat in the expensive seats in the JW central it only goes up by 6% Ok. 👏

Incorrect. We win both games 1-0. Sheff Utd lose 2-1. We miss out on goals scored due to level goal difference because Sheff United scored that injury time 3rd goal last night.

Summerfest cancelled. Problem solved.

All people are saying is that it's a strange coincidental fact that the team with the best win % of all the teams he has consistently referred happens to be his home-town club. And no other referee seems to have anywhere near the same win % for any other team they have consistently (over 12+ games) managed in the EFL, let alone if it's their home town team or not (I've checked a few refs - obviously couldn't check them all) Assuming that Bournemouth as favourites to win every game under Stroud would have been either 4/7 at home or even money away (they wouldn't have been that short on average but lets say they were), that's 360/1 win accumulator on his first 11 games managing Bournemouth. Of course Bournemouth have been a good team in the EFL since 2008, yet other good teams have nowhere near that win percentage under Stroud (Fulham - 45%, Norwich - 27%, Leeds 52%, WBA - 50%). But it's just a massive coincidence. Like when Sweden play Denmark and the score caption on TV associates it as SWE-DEN. What are the odds ! Disclaimer - In no way am I claiming that Mr Stroud is cheating or being biased. Just that this is a statistical anomaly which may 'interest' people. Seeing as on BRFCS we complain about practically every ref that controls Rovers games, I fully expect him to be called shit or useless after the game regardless of these statistics. In no way am I trying to promote discussion here and in the wider community to raise this matter and make the EFL / referee / fans aware of the situation and influence his decisions in Rovers favour in order to get a win on Saturday. Should Brereton go to ground 'easily' and be rewarded with a late penalty I will take no credit, nor will I suggest the referee has been influenced. Any of the multitude of posts from QPR, Notts Forest or Fulham fans on social media and message boards also highlighting Stroud statistics are not related to myself nor have influenced the contents of this post.

Must just be a whopping coincidence then that there record under him is so good and he happens to be from there.

I can’t find any other clubs he’s reffed 12 or more times that have an 86% win ratio. I can only find his home town club.

This doesn’t look good. https://www.worldfootball.net/referee_summary/keith-stroud/afc-bournemouth/4/

The bottom one also needs a slight goal difference swing.

I'll be in a minority of 1, but I'm chuffed they've got Saxon on later this year. 😁

Do you think Venkys will actually know what the season ticket sales are before the new season kicks off. Will they hell. And Waggot doesn’t care nor have the authority on the manager.

£339 riverside £399 BBE & JW Wings £449 JW Every consecutive year an Adult has held a season ticket they get £20 off up to a maximum of £100. Reward loyalty. You would have to be really unhappy to walk away from a season ticket and lost a £100 discount.

At a normal club the managers contract would have been renewed already if that was to be the case. Getting to this situation with 3 games left would mean for sure that he was 'stepping down' at the end of the season. Once we lose next Monday and it is practically impossible for 6th, you'd expect an announcement so Bournemouth was a 'say goodbye to Tony' day. That would be a 'normal' club, but as we're a batshit crazy club I suspect no-one at Ewood is actually sure what the situation is.

I'd argue the Bolton game pre-Christmas was vocally angry in numbers, but once we nicked that win at Old Trafford the crowd generally went 'numb' for much of the season until we eventually went down. I don't think there's much angst or dissent ate wood any more because quite simply there's no-one listening. you can give Tony shit and he will respond or make a comment in the press. But you can call Venkys every name under the sun and they aren't aware its even happening.

Cryptic comments from Agents criticsing the supporters. It's 2012 again. Let's go round again. Maybe we'll turn back the hands of time. Let's go round again. One More time.
