The BBC report 750k, rising to 1.25m.

But whatever it is, the point stands. Some mug has still paid for a "striker" who has scored a handful of goals in the last two seasons.

Maybe SAS but if 'big fan local boy' is stalling over personal terms he can fcukrightoff!

Given we havnt had an offer accepted yet, personal terms havnt been offered to him, or rather, shouldnt have been...

Repeating myself here, but he does seem to have an uncanny knack of getting on the end of chances. You can't teach or learn that imo, you've either got it or you haven't.

Not only "chances". But strangely enough virtual shoe ins. Far too soon to write him off.

now Rev, interesting, having watched Matt at various points throughout his career, both at Great Harwood and Ewood he has always been able to that, he lacks, as I have said repeatedly real pace and shooting ability.

You can teach someone to shoot, and they dont necessarily need real pace to be a success.

Sorry stands......

Hopefully have a mock up by the next home match Gav, as long as I locate a suitable image - if not Ill wear my Garner one, in the same style.....

Absolutely Gav - legend isn't a strong enough accolade.

Love the t-shirt idea - can anyone make this happen?

Watch this space.....

Hee gave me the impresssion he is very unhappy with the Board telling lies in the press about new deals being offered and he says it has resulted in him being booed.

The constant statements by Mr Peter Harrison are the reason he has been booed. Nowt to do with Rovers statements on the matter.

I find it a bit odd that there's been nothing from the club about it, but this really is a devastating blow (for the player as well as the team of course). It looked like our recent good form was set to get a timely boost with the return of some key reinforcements. Hopefully there's nothing in this or the injury isn't as serious as first feared.

If it happened yesterday the club would presumably want to have a 'proper' report - ie after tests before they make any kind of public statement.

It would appear the Great Harwood wonder is to sign for Bolton for £1 million.

Reported where Mr Journo?

From Paul's post on page 105, it says "JW stated to BRISA the average revenue per seat over a season was £13."

Is that per seat filled, or per seat in the stadium? If it's based on the average of 7-8,000 empty seats per match (or so it seems) then I'd believe it.

I was under the impression it was per seat sold.

An Everton fan was slagging our support this morning on talk sport. He said we were offered 6000 tickets and only took 600 fans.

Of course he didn't mention the open spaces in the home ares.

We probably were offered 6000 tickets - 15% under FA cup rules.

To be fair to the bitters, it speaks volumes when they can only slag off the support - if I were them I'd be looking closer to home after a thrashing by a second string!

"A real goal"

IF Matty can continue with his good progress he COULD be just what we need, and in fact have lacked for ages - a proper box striker.

How many times has the ball gone into the box and we havnt had anyone following in?

Plenty and if's and but's.

Still hoping I'll be proved wrong on this one.

It would do if it were based on fact. Evidence that Charlton rake in an extra 7 quid per seat than us??? And aren't they the club that put on free transport from deepest Kent?

Usual 'estimated' nonsense dressed up as gospel that we've come to expect from our Maltese accountant

Charlton match tickets are more expensive than ours, especially for "concessions" and they havnt run free transport for years, its £5 per seat from anywhere on route, and it makes a profit.

It would be interesting if we could somehow conceptually validate the 13 quid number.

You think John Williams is telling lies? Personally I bvelieve the figures add up, as previously demonstrated. ven my two adults and a kid averages £15 per head, per match.

Incidentally, I have seen the Rovers' accounts and I can immediately see why there would be no money for transfers this January. The Walker Trust's £6m is plugging the gap between Charlton's gate money and our's.

What about the £3.5m+ for the difference in league placings Phil, if only it was as simplistic as people make out.

We've still spent plenty, those new contracts over the summer for Nelsen, Pedersen, Reid, Tugay etc aren't cheap you know!

Whilst you are quite correct Lee, our net transfer spend has to be amongst the lowest in the league. Not that I am suggesting that is necessarily a bad thing.

Is that not what I just said Stu? Certainly £15 is fantastic value but even the £30 is sod all for 3 European matches.

No.

You said "very little...... but so have non season ticket holders in effect"

I was simply adding, that your "very little" is half of anyone else's "very little"

Or at least that's what was written in the Ryanair toilet cubicle.

Very little ...... but then so have non ST holders in effect.

Youve had three matches for £15?

A Non ST holder has paid at least double that.

Your point , Stu ,was that it was "impossible" to have lower prices at FA cup matches . It is not .

Neither is it as simplistic to claim that high prices equals maximum dollar . Would £50 a game achieve maximum revenue for example ?

Thanks for telling me what I was saying Phil. Next time Ill put it in enough detail for you.

Stu- you're better than this.

Now Shabani Nonda.............

This is true Jan, very true.

Now who's on the train to Everton on Sunday?

I'll take it that you are unable to get over it and move on then?

Fair enough, your call.

Admission prices are determined by mutual agreement between the two clubs involved .

Yes.

And ofter clubs who have got to the latter rounds are only interested in maximum dollar, which as demonstrated numerous times is provided by high ticket prices.

Which was the point I was making.

Yeah really sounds like your trying to correct me, not at all sound like your trying to get one over on somebody?

I believe that was after you suggested certain things..... which has now been removed.

Bottom line, you used figures which were wrong. I provided the correct figures. As you say, they didnt actually change the material point (hence the :ph34r: smiley )

Now, must we continue this? Its incredibly dull and pointless.

Wiki was wrong Rovers.co.uk was right, not my fault if a website is wrong and the figures doesnt really effect the point i was trying to make. Think its more a matter of you trying to get one over on someone which is pretty sad. Oh well...

Oh and speaking of people getting reds on there debut, didnt Gary Flitcroft get red carded after like 3 mins on his debut for us?

Or, I was pointing out that something was incorrect. Remove the chip from your shoulder, and perhaps you wouldnt get such a hard time.

And yes, he did.

10 in 16 at Wrexham :ph34r:

Unfortunatly Wiki(and WSR) appears to be right, as long as rovers.co.uk can be trusted?

http://www.rovers.premiumtv.co.uk/page/Squ...3~33410,00.html

Risk telling me how 10 in 16 isnt correct?

-Playing for Rovers, being part of beating Burnley 0-2 and 5-0

Wicked.

John Curtis = Rovers legend

Ticket information for this game will be announced approximately three weeks prior to the match taking place.

Which was quite a few days ago??

Lee has advised they are expecting info on Monday - the game was late being arranged.

Expect the tickets to be iro £20.
