Which bit? That we have similar crowds or that we get the same match day income? One follows on from the other.

It's the same, probably because we get similar crowds

it's how Watford got promoted.

Didn't know Kinder was a Rovers fan. He's still got the passion for the club. Worth a listen. @JoeH you might want to listen to the answer he gives about the U23's at Man Utd and players like Rashford in particular. I'm glad Eric agrees with me ?

I'd agree now with the twitter stuff but I don't think it was as prevalent back then. Cryer seemed to have a particular axe to grind but not sure why.

Has Cryer left the BBC? He was a bit hateful towards Rovers fans after he left the LT.

If Dolan had been dropped this forum would have exploded. Saying after the event he should have been dropped because he wasn't as effective as normal is mental.

Yeah, I'm aware how to read a chart thanks. That chart is revenue/expenditure so relates to 'no crowd' impact. Your assertion that Rovers will be 'far less affected' by having no fans in the ground than other clubs is not borne out by any evidence you've produced. It's the % of total revenue made up of matchday income that counts, not the amount of matchday income in £m. For example, QPR, Bristol C and Brum will be less affected by loss of matchday income than us because it makes up a smaller % of their income. That can be applied to all the clubs with parachute payments too. So the premise of your argument is wrong. This isn't meant to come across as salty, just joining in the discussion?

Nearly half of those teams aren't in the Championship anymore...and all it shows anyway is that we are middling when it comes to the financial effect of no crowds.

As a % of our wage bill I meant. These figures are meaningless without that context.

Is that actually backed up with any evidence?

Exactly. The Rovers crowd is just moan-y, like a lot of crowds. We are rarely, if ever, aggressive.

I doubt this topic will affect the team's form in any way.

I think it was Jimmy Armfield who said Rovers 'don't have a crowd they have a jury'.

We play 1 up front and have AA, BB and SG. Mowbray's bought enough strikers.

He's got a far better pedigree than Bell .... on paper.

When Bell plays in Serie A and Ligue 1 we can make consider making a comparison.

Confused.

As does Buckley, who is a far better player.

I've seen them both. They're shit.

He looks far better than Bell from these clips for the simple reason he can pick put a player with a cross.

The worst highlights reel ever committed to Youtube?

I think we need names for future reference. And also where they play.
