I had medium for all the Umbro shirts and last seasons shirts were fairly close fitting for me. I bought the new shirts in large and they are slightly bigger than the medium Umbro's were.

You re looking well Gumbi lad ..😎

I have tried to do it online on my phone, but it was being a right pain. I’ll try it again on the Mac….

Yeah as i said earlier in the the thread our Elliott couldnt but to be fair i did quite easily ..hopefully come Weds it will be easy for everyone (and his Dog ..we need you dogs !) to renew .

Now we re into the final week before the Season Kicks Off ..who on here  has actually renewed/bought a Season Ticket ?

I am not in the least bit bothered how many season tickets other clubs have sold. I am more worried about the reasons that our sales are so low. To me the main problem is that nobody in charge of anything , at the Rovers, seems bothered about this drop off.

Wish they'd get a shift on, after various rumours I heard at the end of last season and again in the close season I bet my mate's son £20 that Mowbray wouldn't be here by the first day of the new season. Looks like I'll be paying out.

On a more serious note of course it makes zero sense to wait and keep him and Waggott in situ all summer, put pressure on them by cutting off funding then sack them six games into the summer as that's putting this season in severe jeopardy.

We'll see I suppose. The squad is now so weak I don't think they would be capable of pulling out a few results to save Mowbray's neck as they always seem to have managed to do in the past.

I received a postcard from Dacky and the lads through the letterbox this morning.

Better late than never but wonder why this is being done 2 days before the extended deadline for renewals.

Just received mine too. 

Maybe the Postcards were late back from the printers so they had to extend the deadline ..

(yes ..i can be naive at times!)

Avoid all this stress and worry - join the boycott!

Away matches are much more fun anyway.

He does go Away Crimp ..but he wouldn't  mind going to a bloody Home game😂

Well ..i think i ve finally found out ONE of the reasons why we ve possibly only sold 3500 ST!

My son has been trying to buy a ST online today ..now that the date had passed for those to save their seat   ..but he gave up and finally rang and actually got through to the Ticket Office.

Explaining to them he wanted to try and buy a seat that he had two seasons ago he was told that the last day for ST renewals (28th July) had been SCRAPPED and extended to Monday 2nd August . The reason given was that many people had tried to renew and save their seats but couldnt either by the Online system (for some reason) or by phone (which im sure anyone who has tried to ring Rovers will know why)!

When asked could he therefore buy one on Tuesday 3rd of August ..he was told no ..they d go on General Sale on Weds 4th August. My son also asked would he have to pick up the ticket by hand at the club because of the short notice and Rovers at home on the Saturday he was told that a paper ticket would be issued because at the moment the club had no plastic ST Cards ??

Soooo a heads up anyone hoping to aquire a ST now after the so called deadline has passed for renewals ..it hasnt and you wont be able to buy until Weds 4th August.  Sorry for the long winded post !

I heard yesterday that they had sold out their initial 4500 in the lower tier and so we were cleaning the upper tier to open up to them. Expect those will then be sold and then we will give them the Riverside.

Quite possibly looking at 10,000+ from Leeds and about 3,000 from Rovers.

Will anyone care? Not Waggott that's for sure.

JH ..do you want the club to only guarantee Leeds 500 tickets and make nothing and have people such as yourself blaming the club the day after for not making more out of it  ..or exploit a 'friendly' and make something at the very least.

The thing that annoys most at the moment is we ve signed no one one even on a  Free.

But looking at this list of players that have been signed by Championship clubs makes me wonder just how good are they ? The majority ive no idea of and all seemingly free ?

And as for actually paying a fee for a player ..IF this list is correct no ones spent anything bar one or two looking at Expenditures? All clubs look very  reluctant to spend cash ... welcome to the Championship 21/22.

Its not just Bens ...every official rovers post on instagram is flooded with responses in spanish.

Sam Barnes signing a new contract had possibly 6 ? comments in English ..the other 35 or so all in Spanish ..madness ..

Bit of a churlish response that.

I'm made up for the lad, a proper Roy of the Rovers story-line.

This whole experience could be the making of him and, if it is, we might be beneficiaries too..

As long as he doesn't speak Spanish like Mclaren spoke 'Dutch' mind you.

 

 

I hope he does !!! endear the lad even more with his goofy persona ..love it !

Not like Rovers to act quick on a good feel moment ..but they have and a good looking t shirt too..

Leeds confirmed.

Usually we would play 6 friendlies so I would expect a couple more.

Wonder if Waggott will do a reverse Bradford and only open Ewood to away fans?

Its not even a weekend fixture ...poor do.

Not sure why its your duty as a Rovers supporter to buy a season ticket. I would say its our duty, as supporters,  to do the best thing for the future of our club. 

In many people's opinion, the club would have a brighter future with different owners. As such, the best thing to do, as a supporter, is oppose the current regime. I believe it is my duty show my dissent by not buying a season ticket or any home match tickets. 

I am desperate to get back to Ewood to support the team on the pitch but I believe it is currently the wrong course of action for the future of the club. Carry on turning up as normal and Venky's / Waggott will carry on running the club into the ground. 

I like your idea of a BRFCS social at the pub/WMC though it would be good to meet everyone. I'd happily attend but would then trudge sadly home while the rest of you go off to the match. 

OOOOO ...bad move Crimp ..a few sherberts down yer neck and a lil cajoling from those who are going and the temptation to go and buy a Match Day ticket will be looming large ..playing straight into Waggotts hands !!

Steer clear of the Ewood vicinity would be my suggestion ..

I can't see him getting many minutes as that is a strong squad which Chile have selected. But it will still be a great experience for the lad to be part of a major international tournament.

Exactly .. superb experience for young Mr. Diaz ..

'Probably come back injured' ..STOP IT H! STOP IT! ..going into full blown BRFCS negative mode there ..!!! 

Well done Ben ..all rooting for ya !
