This is why nobody has any respect for football authorities.
Owners want to destroy a club? No problem!
Owner wants to buy players Maccy D’s for winning? Massive rule infringement right there that must be dealt with.
FFS
Andy Holt wants to get onto McDonalds ..can see a possible sponsorship tie up with them of some sorts ..like the old Milk Marketing board ad!

What rubbish, I'd love a brand new car but can't afford one. By your "logic" that's Ford's fault so they should halve the price of their new cars so I and thousands like me could possibly afford one.
Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't be averse to doing something really drastic to try and fill the stadium, like reduce prices for everyone to a fiver as long as the owners were happy to take the financial hit and lose even more money but to virtually give tickets away to a small section of the adult population who are perfectly capable of full time work purely on account of their age seems a terrible idea to me. If I'm in the minority on that so be it.
You could also then spin it the other way and say why reduce ticket prices for OAPs ?. They ve had the chance to work all their lives and save for the future. Why reduce ticket prices to a group of people who may not be here physically next year ? (not my own personal view btw but one that could stand up to your reasoning)
The idea is to subsidise tickets to groups to catch their support and interest with a view for getting them hooked for future years. Grow and expand the fanbase .
And for anyone who thinks that that age group is flush with cash in this day and age needs to think again. Ive just watched my daughter and partner save for years to get 15-20% lump sum to put down to secure a mortgage ! Banks arent chucking money at you like they were 30-40 years ago.
Every group age has its limitations financially ..but the idea is to target an age group that hopefully will get the bug and be financially able to come to Ewood in future years.

Players for me. British footballers ? Useless. Even in the Premier League now ... good British footballers are few and far between (look at the national teams). Start dropping Leagues and the standard is shocking. Tactics are wasted on most because they simply cant do the basics. Again any team in this league can lose a game and then win one and imo its just a lottery in certain games who will win.Managers cant make a silk purse out of a sows ear but thats what most in this league are having to try and do, some will get lucky but the majority wont and yes i do believe a lot is luck in this league.
Dreams of 1995 named a few players he grew up watching ... well over half are foreign ..says it all to me.

When I was working I dealt with a few different printers for labels and forms and the biggest cost was in setting the printing presses up. I always got a better price for buying larger quantities i.e. £100 for 1000 and £50 for every 1000 after that. I would expect the Rovers programmes to be the same otherwise somebody isn't doing their job properly.
The biggest cost is the price of paper.Printing presses are ready to rock n roll whatever the job put on them.

That is fair enough Jim but if nobody complains then the club will just carry on producing an inferior product which doesn't appear to represent value for money. Maybe one for the Fans Forum to bring up.
Do you know if the club make any profit on programme sales?
I wouldnt think they make anything on the actual sale of the programmes but will make money on the adverts that are placed in it.
In the Championship we only produced 3000 programmes per match. Will be even less now.

I would have agreed with you last week, and I said similar earlier in this thread. Saturday has crushed me
If I saw us humiliated by that lot I think I'd give it up for good. The losing doesn't bother me, it's having to watch a team of surrender-monkeys managed by a delusional Pep wannabe that really grates.
