No other keeper is as as bad as our two clowns.

The EFL and clubs wanted more money from TV rights. If it wasn't Sky Sports it would be Dazn or Premier Sports. Clubs wanted more money cos they thought their TV rights was worth more the current TV deal. 

Any TV Company would more games to TV for more money. Fairly simple and understandable point of view. 

That's why Clubs are/should lower their ST and match day prices starting with this season. I have posted my thoughts what ST and match day prices. What do you think of those ideas? 

 

Put the finances to one side for a moment.

What do you think of the reduction in Saturday 3pm games? Do you think that's a price worth paying and fair on the match going fan? Or do you think that, once again, the powers that be are simply cashing in and thinking only of subscribions? 

Let;s face it, if this guy had come through our academy, he'd have been binned off long before he was offered a pro contract.

He's awful and symptomatic of Broughton.

For the first time in 30 years of watching Rovers with my 76 year old Dad, he's suggested not going on Saturday and just going for a walk instead and turning his phone off, it's that bad. He's usually pretty pragmatic and optimistic even at the worst time, always siding with the players, but I think that second half finally did for him. After the match we both just stared into space over our pints. 

Not felt this low for a very long time, it's a different kind of feeling - think it's the lack of hope or trust in anyone at the club from players to board level, feels like a truly lost cause. 

 

Well said. I've been going on for 49 years, the only time I gave it a swerve was for 3 seasons or so after these clowns took over and potted Big Sam.

I'm so fed up with BRFC and football in general; the season can't end soon enough so I can spend my Saturdays fishing instead. If my daughter wouldn't  threaten me with ostracism, I'd be seriously considering to ditch the ST again next season.

Leicester will probably need at least a point from us to assure their promotion spot, so I'm writing that off.

Let's say we get a point from Coventry.  For us to then go down, Plymouth would 2 points, Wednesday 4 points (due to GD), and Birmingham 4 points.

All very possible.

I think if we beat Cov, we're safe. But I very much doubt that we will. 

I think we'll be leaving Ewood after the game knowing that it's all over bar the shouting. To come back from that disaster class yesterday will take some doing.

If we go down a couple early doors, Ewood might explode.

3-0 Cov

I'm sick and and tired of watching shite and losing, so personally I don't care what style we play just as long as we win a few chuffin' games along the way for once.

For the first time, I think we've had it now.

The manner of that defeat will take some bouncing back from, and I'm struggling to see where or how we're going to get what we need to survive. Our main hope rests with those other clubs around us not doing enough.

£50 for two people...crikey, I'd love to know where you eat out these days for that @chaddyrovers !!!

Supply and demand. Sky charge what they do simply because the demand is there.

The money swishing around in football is purely because of the armchair viewer. The match going fan is an afterthought to the powers that be; we don't register with them.

Calling something 'the best' is subjective at best, and in the case of Sky and the PL, is done purely as a marketing exercise for the gullible.

I don't watch any PL football at all, mainly because it's on Sky, who in conjunction with the PL and FA, have ruined football for the average punter.

For my non-Rovers football fix, I subscribe to La Liga TV for £8 a month which gives plenty of live matches.  The Spanish game is totally different to what we're used to, but can be just as exciting in it's own way IMO. It's El Classico on Sunday night.

I paid £11.99 for a NowTV day pass to cover the Leeds game, versus the £10 is usually costs to stream a single game on RoversTV.

I really begrudge paying Sky a penny, but can't help myself when it's BRFC.

As with any player, we'd only regret Dolan leaving if we don't replace him with better.

Therein lies our problem, though. We wouldn't.

The proven solution to increasing ST sales lies both a few miles to the south and to the west.

Well, there it is in black and white. 14 years into their destruction and the accounts state that there is a material threat of insolvency.

That upcoming £6m summer spend is looking like a shoo in.....

No idea. Looking at the summer incomings you wouldn’t expect any have performance related add ons and if it’s the likes of Telalovic and Wahlsted they are never likely to be payable!

Szmodics and Hyam perhaps as signings from the previous year?

Those are surely the 2024 numbers - considering we sold Wharton for £18m+ in January

Correct. These statements are for the financial year ending June 23. The real sh!t show won't be revealed for a another year.

The worry of letting Gallagher go isn't so much losing him as a player.

Rather it's the ability of Broughton to replace him with anything semi-decent. The evidence thus far tells us that we'd just end up with yet another dud.

Talk of getting rid of both Buckley and Travis is madness. We skirted with disaster only a few weeks ago when Tronstad was out injured.

Good point yesterday. Eustace clearly has the team set up well, organised, and we're hard to beat, albeit with not much up top.

On Southampton, I thought they were dreadful. Their style of walking football is just plain dull to watch.

Boycotting.

So are thousands of others.

Come on, what else are you yourself doing proactively, which gives you carte blanche to throw keyboard insults at those who do still attend?

3 games undefeated now for the Dingles, with an under strength Wolves to visit the Turd on Tuesday, followed by a trip to Everton who themselves are on a Rovers-esque winless run.

I dread to think, but they've given themselves a sniff of a chance.

The rationale behind his approach here...

The more Leeds fans that come to Ewood the better.

The fewer Rovers fans that go to Elland Road the better.

It's obvious what game Waggott is playing here; it's called 'smoke and mirrors'.

He's fleeced the Leeds fans to maximise revenue from them, whilst knowing all along that Leeds would charge us full whack in return.

He'll have built this 'subsidy' into his overall calculation, as a means to appear the good guy.

Don't be fooled.

The Dingles play Forest on the last day. Things could be about to get very interesting...
