Time to start the "summer transfer window" thread, the "will we be in the mix next season?" thread, the "singing section / safe standing section" thread, the "how many things are they looking into now?" thread, the "Mowbray in or out? version 4" poll and the "remembering the JW Upper victims of the coronavirus" thread.

London marathon just been postponed to October

BBC website says postponed. Everywhere else says it's on. Rang ticket office and they said it's still on but likely to change.... Sounded like they didn't really know themselves.

So if the season extends... Walton & Tosin loans finish end of May. 7 x first team squad contracts expire end of June.

What is Waggott going to do with all those pies and Fosters ?

Could be off tomorrow. PL emergency meeting 10:30 Several PL players tested positive. EFL expected to follow suit.

Wrong thread but Waggott giving £300 grand back to Leeds fans tickles me.

What the fuck do the Child Support Agency know about anything? *!#$s ?

Wouldn't surprise me if they turned up to watch the Leeds game behind closed doors.

How are Sodexo going to manage the pie order without knowing the numbers for Leeds ? This is apparently a £3 per head catastrophe when talking about a couple of hundred Rovers fans. So 7700 or zero must really be causing a headache for the pie logistical department.

Chaddy think of it like this.... you contract the virus in the BBE from some fan with no symptoms who was working in country X a week before. you have no symptoms for 7 days but in the meantime pass it to your parents and then one of them dies whilst you recover. You also pass it to your kids who never show symptoms but pass it to the rest of the school who pass it to their families and Accrington has several deaths as a result. All because of that guy in the BBE with no symptoms.

Reason for no 3pm Sat games is simple. There are legal contracts in place which prevent any 3pm Sat games being on TV. By simply moving all games away from that time slot, they can then be broadcast. Agreement between broadcasters, clubs and government to sidestep the legal minefield. STs fall under Force Majeure clause of your contracts. No refunds. You will have free ifollow pass instead. If you bought a single matchday ticket you should be able to get a refund, especially if bought by CC.

PSG playing behind closed doors. Thousands of fans are outside the stadium.

Club Statement https://www.rovers.co.uk/news/2020/march/club-statement--coronavirus-update/

STs, Half STs, Super 6, Final 4 All count as STs with contractual Ts&Cs. No refunds. Match day tickets should be refunded especially if you buy by CC. Consumer rights. That's how I read it.

Marinakis was at the Millwall Forest game on Friday. So does this mean both sides are now going into 14 day self isolation with games called off ?

Well I for one am convinced that this is a Rovers staff member trying to sell tickets. Either way...jog on.

I agree that is funny. Some fans have a bigger tombola than Pension Pot Tony

That's because he refused to play for the U23s and his head has gone Reference Steve Waggott ((lame)horses mouth)

Please be behind closed doors. Fuck Leeds and Fuck Waggott.

You can't possibly hate it more than I do. Blue and White halves every game unless there is a clash. All about people making money from fans. Last away shirt I bought was red and black with Shearer on the back. Never been one I liked since. Hate that grey one. Hate that blue 3rd kit even more.

His brother is his agent and also his business partner (see companies house) so added incentive to cause mischief and get the best contract possible. It won't be at Rovers so lets not worry about that. We are down to no Keepers, 2 defenders and extending Bell for a year. Defenders are coming.

Today's meeting re football going behind closed doors at some stage within the next 14 days. According to one present, the message was "carry on as you're doing for now but start to ready yourself". One thing that emerged was how a "one size fits all" solution to this may be impractical. While some leagues said they are desperate to complete their seasons to preserve the integrity of their competition, others expressed fears at the devastating financial impact that sacrificing matchday revenue would involve, and made clear their insurance policies would come nowhere near to covering such a blow.
