  1. The scenario feels a lot more relaxed than if we'd beaten Luton and it was all in our hands. It may yet play into our hands and pile pressure on the others. We had to beat Millwall anyway, so that hasn't changed, I just feel we're more likely to beat them in this situation than the other.
  2. I agree, if we could add to that every week it would be a good start. But the Reading, Coventry, Hull and even Burnley gates were poor. The pricing is always going to be subjective, I think it's an absolute bargain, but let's have a discussion, rather than being accused of being a Waggott supporter the second someone points out the difficulty of the situation.
  3. I'm not exonerating anybody, that lazy argument is always thrown out the minute anybody has any kind of conversation regarding ticket sales. As I said, the tickets were reduced and the attendances were up, but not significantly. The correlation between the two isn't evident. I've enjoyed this season, and had no hesitation in renewing,it was never in question and never is. But it isn't me they're trying to convince.
  4. I don't know the figures, or the prices,or what constitutes "hugely". The club is in the doldrums, it's suffering from having virtually a generation of "fans" who only got on board because of the obvious. The same people compare the club now to how it was in the 90's, I hear it from customers all the time,using the same old excuse of Venkys for not attending. I've no proof, but from the outside it looks like Blackpool suffer from the same, as do many others. That's why our support is poor, and it's the job of Waggott and Co to reignite some passion into the club and get people believing again, but the poor turnouts over the last few weeks, despite a play off chance and discounted tickets, shows how difficult the job in hand is. It was a tenner against Reading, yet the turnout was pathetic, yet the usual excuses were rolled out, on Sky, night match and the rest. If it was all about pricing, it should have been heaving. In short, you could give season tickets away and it still wouldn't be full, that sums up the job in hand.
  5. I don't see it as prices going up, it was the same argument last season. The price was lowered as a bonus for existing ticket holders, I renewed mine yesterday. If they halved the prices, there isn't a chance we'd get twice as many in, we wouldn't "sell" out if they literally gave them away. There have been poor attendances over the last few weeks, despite the team being in the play offs virtually all season. That's despite the club nigh on giving them away. Waggott is scratting around for a couple more thousand who may or may not buy a season ticket,those people won't come flooding back until the club delivers the Premier league football that enticed them years ago. Then they can all sing "Rovers till I die" like they did against United in the Cup a few years back.
  6. Have they not lowered prices up until tomorrow, I got mine for £20 cheaper yesterday?
  7. Ask Huddersfield who did their p a system and get the same one, it's clear as a bell. It's simple enough
  8. The booing when passing it around at the back has all but stopped, because we are now seeing reward for the risk. It's a shame Morton got injured, he was linking up well with Wharton, and his injury has also meant that Szmodics has had to drop deeper to fill in. Last few games I think we've played well, it's the obvious lack up front that has let us down. Put Armstrong up there, and we're a dangerous team.
  9. I've seen calls to get rid of him, I wouldn't do that,he's an important squad member and can do a good job. He needs adding to.
  10. With the current squad, it still remains a fact that we're much more likely to win with Gallagher in the team. I don't know what part of the facts that people have trouble with. If you were Tomasson, and had Gallagher fit for Millwall, would you lessen our chance of winning by not playing him? I know I wouldn't. Longterm, maybe, but right now the stats say he's our best chance.
  11. Totally agree, I think we are starting to look a good team, it's just the obvious lack of a forward(s) that is letting us down. Ironically, the loss of Morton has probably impacted more than some would admit. We'll see if he gambles with playing Garrett In midfield to get Szmodics further forward. Even better if Gallagher is fit and Szmodics can play behind him.
  12. Where have you got that from? Everything the club has done since Mowbray left would suggest it's absolute rubbish.
  13. I know some people, especially with families, have other priorities, but for me my season ticket is the best value purchase of the year. I don't even think about it or consider not buying it, health permitting , it's going to happen.
  14. Surely our best chance of a goal is with Szmodics up front,he's the only player looking like scoring at the moment. Either Garrett into midfield or JRC, but that would mean not only disturbing the defence, but having to play Brittain, and I'm just not sure about Brittain.
  15. To do it on live TV, against them tonight, has taken it up more than a notch.
  16. We could well have just witnessed the birth of a star, Adam Wharton was on a different planet to anyone else on the pitch,and Burnley were nowhere near him. Tomasson says the team needs to play a certain way, to showcase their talents and prove they're capable of stepping up to the next level. I'm 100 % with him after that performance, anyone wanting to sign Wharton will have to cough up a mighty sum. It took a worldie to beat us tonight,but Burnley know they've been outplayed. We all know where we're short,but that performance has to bode well for the future.
  17. Talking to a few fans, Rovers and Burnley yesterday morning, I said Rovers will have to 1 0 their way into the play offs. I saw nothing from the away end yesterday to change my mind. Whatever the team is, they need to test Burnley's players' appetite for a battle. We need to win every 50 50 and see if their loan players are thinking about next season. We've started to play with more authority, and the passing out from the back is looking a lot more fluid and rewarding. We can definitely win this game and become favourite for one of the last 2 play off places, but we'll definitely have to earn it.
  18. The lad's suffering, I couldn't help feeling sorry for him last night. Maybe it's time to shout his name on Saturday and give him some backing,I'm sure there's nothing he'd like more than to fire Rovers into the play offs.
  19. Last few times I've just driven along Bpool Rd and turned right into Primrose Rd just before you get to the ground,we're coming from Accy so the ground is on the left. You can pay to park at St Gregory's school, but there's parking on that estate. We haven't had a problem although we're all knocking on a bit. We're going early,don't leave it late if you're parking there, it's looking like a sell out.
  20. Just reading Pne forum, they're not one bit confident. It's looking like a sell out though.
  21. Played well first half, but really suffered second half before he was taken off. His lack of a left foot didn't help.
  22. Be boring if we just walked it😊 Win at Preston and we're almost there, no need to panic.
  23. Makes you wonder if Millwall looked at their run in and thought they were sorted. Every team bar the top 4 would swap places with Rovers, what a position to be in, and what a disappointment it would be to miss out from here. Time to put the big boy pants on and win one for ourselves. Win tomorrow and we'll do it, lose and we won't, draw and hmmmm.
  24. Don't like predicting the line up, that's Tomasson's job and he'll live or die by the results. I do think though, that Hedges was really unlucky not to start tonight, after scoring at Hudders,and I'd be playing him on Wednesday. Time to stand up and be counted against Coventry, win and we'll do it, lose and we won't.
