Szmodics got his boots on the wrong feet today.

Can we go to a back 3 and put JRC into midfield. This is not working at all.

Travis could shoot and pointlessly passes wide.

What sort of fucking ball is that ? Did he not get told you don't do that when he was 6

Fuck off

Literally the only possible fit team we could put out. No surprises. Wharton & Ennis probably get 5 minutes at the end.

Looking at the ticket map, looking like it could be 18K today.

Surely you can't expect a highly paid executive to ignore his paymasters and do the opposite thing ? Then he wouldn't be the highly paid executive for very long.

No problem with Steve at all. Paid employee doing what he is being paid & asked to do. The only opinion that matters is that of his boss (Suhail) and his boss (Bala). Customers opinions mean nowt.

Pears in goal Leonard up front

Indeed...8230 will be closer.

8227 So no.

New ST post on the club site. "Around 8,000 supporters have secured their seats for the upcoming campaign, " That means 7900 normally. Certainly not 8500. Scary.

Can Chaddy choose the volume level ?

Can you work out how many tickets sold GB ?

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.

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 Draw quietly withdrawn due to getting nowhere near 10K sales.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

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.

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 ?
