I won't be going because the owners are still here. Very simple.

However I may support the initiative and certainly support the efforts of those involved. I just don't understand what the aim of the exercise is ? It doesn't say.

Regarding attendance as being a measure of success. The issue there is, the game itself is not being advertised or promoted in any way. Same as Season tickets in that respect. 

Stream Link please.

It's not stealing from Sky. Can't see Josh objecting or at least until after KO

If you can't blame the organ grinders then blame the monkey.

plus they have new owner take over and move the club on the previous owners

Ahhh new owners.... now there's an idea.

My ST money is ready and waiting.

Pay day myth busted.

Aside from the club social media, there is zero advertising, in the town, around the town or anywhere else in fact, including around the ground.

Once there would be posters everywhere.

They are not even advertising in the LT or Lancs Live, both of which survive on ads.

If you didn't already follow Rovers  you wouldn't even know we exist. So not sure how the numbers will ever grow.

I myself have had no exposure at all to ST marketing and am only aware by reading this thread.

I think that could be a potential issue.

Embarrasing strategy really.

Who remembers the £10K for 10K prize draw ?

Draw quietly withdrawn due to getting nowhere near 10K sales.

Since then we have regressed even further in terms of both sales and targetted sales.

Yet nobody has lost their job. On the contrary, praise and bonus for increasing sales revenue.

fair enough 

Rovers should be offering different types of food whether its pizza slice or hot baguette or hot Sausage roll for example 

Hmmm EG Group rather than Sodexo.

Can't see them bringing it all back in house and the overheads that go with it.

Didn't we make all none essential staff redundant when they brought KPMG in to do a root and branch audit, instead of administration.

But there will be more imaginative offerings out there than Sodexo.

None of it is ‘pointless’, of course the attendances and the pitch are far more important than a less pixelated big screen or a nice pint of a local ale. Getting decent players in and competing for promotion is the most important of all.

But my point is it all of it adds to a match day for some. A dilapidated, grubby ground nicely sums up how the club is run away from the football side.

I am not disagreeing at all but also lets not fool ourselves into thinking the ground is that grubby. Lets not forget the 80s, the mud behind the Riverside or the trees growing out of the urinals.

We only have this grubby stadium thanks to Jack who invested in the club and the town.

Now Venkys are perfectly able to do the same if they choose. Nothing to do with FFP at all.

There is no togetherness at the club because they are simply not in it for us. 

Like Santa's wish list.

Tannoys, Travis postcards, nicer beer...

Slightly pointless for the many who won't set foot in the place.

Owners (if they are not bothering to leave) to start investing in a proper Venky legacy at our club and engaging with supporters.

Notice they still didn't replace the pitch (3rd year since it was knocked back) which is nothing to do with FFP.

Notice they never rocked up in spring.

How about some investment in the Town ?

He says its the best uptake in 5 years.

Nothing to see here.

Look its a tea cake.

Just because you go in the chippy and the generic menu says chip barm, you still ask for a couple of chip tea cakes.

Same as scoffing a dab whilst you wait. Potato scallop my arse.

Which leads onto the 'owd Dab Tea Cake

There will be some up to date numbers in the Fans Forum minutes, which should be out next week.

Instead of just telling us.

The issue is, the prices go up again.

People who normally buy in summer, still buy in summer (even if unhappy).

The revenue therefore goes up.

Waggott is vindicated, again.

Waggott's bonus goes up.

Starting price point for next season has now also gone up.

Revenue for next season has therefore already gone up.

What's not for a CEO to like ?

Back in the day, a marquee signing would shift tickets.

We announce today we have no money and will be selling players to keep the lights on.

Oh and the prices are going up again at the end of the month.

Fans getting fucked hard at both ends by Venkys.

Just an average Championship player really. He helped us get out of the 3rd Division after Venkys ashamedly relegated us but otherwise we should have moved him on at least 2 years ago.

Good to see Mowbray out. His Team only turned up for one half of the tie. Standard. Time to retire. Loser.

You sell the one with the best sales value.

Simple

Get Kaminski sold.

Anyway, our problems are most definately up t'other end. We need to count the coppers in the jar to see who we can afford.

If phase 3 was a £219 sale promotion, there would be uproar.

Fuck off Mowbray

I see in the LT Rich Sharpe confirms there will be another increase after phase 2 (structure TBC).

Blackmail pure and simple.

So in 3 weeks they are going up again ?

Haha great idea.

It will be the fans fault next that we can't buy a striker.

Diaz finally said on camera that is his last game.

So it appears the game turned on one event....

Travis getting fired at HT for being a shithouse bottlejob. The others must have thought "oh shit I better start work".
