Work is taking place to get direct dialogue with the owners.  I cannot and will not say anymore.

In all likelihood the owners have absolutely no idea of any of the current off field issues concerning the supporter base the fat controller will have assured them everything is hunky dory. It's questionable that if they were to know anything would change but certainly worth a try.

By tomorrow, it will be too late to send paper tickets out through the post, so I reckon all they can offer is the ability to buy them in person at the office.

Or ring up in advance and collect from the window on the day

Hopefully the present sales are so awful it has forced their hand.

It seems Cambridge have a dodgy keeper also should be a high scoring game then.

Cambridge have six tickets left in SO1 .They have sold circa 1500. Which is likely more than us.

It'll be Everton and Man City legend nights next. You can't see a club like Ipswich for example hosting Arsenal and Tottenham legend nights.

That gives a week to off load some players if the judge kicks up a fuss. Handy.

Yeah so that list is total nonsense then!

Really appreciate the research @wilsdenrover

Or that list isn't nonsense and the figures in the accounts have been massaged 

In fact as at 30 June 22 it was mowbrays last day.

The numbers don't add up of people to me senior football players and management 75 ? The academy is listed separately. Yes we had a change of manager in 2022 but 75.

People were saying the same about Tyler Morton last season. He's now playing every week for a side pushing for the play-offs. Meanwhile we flounder.

Travis will attract attention from elsewhere because he has attributes of value. That's why he's one of a small number who we have that clubs will bid for and that's why they are intent on forcing him out. 

I hope people realise by now that the 'replacement' will be inferior. 

Last season Tyler Morton was playing for a side pushing for the play offs allegedly.

They'll be keen for Millwall to renew their interest in Travis

What would be really funny is if every Rovers fan who hasn't yet bought a ticket simply turns up on the day at the away ticket office and buys a paper ticket to go in the Cambridge end, refusing to participate in the ludicrous and discriminatory 'digital only' scheme for home ends.

This way those people could still have their paper ticket, still watch the game and Rovers would still get the same income, but it would send a message to the imbeciles upstairs and cause them quite the headache trying to cope with it on matchday.

This. It assumes you can buy on the day.

In the away end Cambridge have sold all of SO2. Currently working through SO1

Jdt contract is up in 2025

Could be six this

There you go that's that then

Looks like jdt has written this one off in advance and saving legs for new year's days six pointer with Rotherham 

We might have triggered the clause but have we the Dosh ? I'll believe this when he has actually signed and in the building.

Advertising which according to the latest available accounts they hadn't paid for.

Such a heavy touch has nothing to do with fitness. He needs to learn to trap a ball first.

Throwing Hilton in is just asking for trouble you could almost expect a rookie who is nowhere near ready to lose a bad goal or two.

 

Hilton is 24. Has been on loan in the Scottish premiership. If he is still nowhere near ready effectively third choice and getting no game time I would suggest he needs moving on save a wage and promote Felix Goddard

continuing to pick the goalkeeper that continues to make mistakes that cost us goals

Suggests he has no confidence in any of the other keepers on the books I fully expect Pears to walk straight back in the side when fit. We don't have a decent keeper to pick.

Would be no surprise to learn there is an offer on the table for SS - would certainly explain a lot.

Double the purchase price fits with the model.
