Just have to hope Spurs look elsewhere than Arne Slot... Feyenoord would be the ideal job for JDT I'm afraid for personal and career reasons, that's if they feel his CV is worthy at this present time, I imagine they would do.

Didn't he recently buy a house up north though? He should definitely get championship offers, and if he does I'm putting my house on him scoring when we play said team! Providing he stays fit you just know he's gonna score goals for a team who's playing style suits him....

Very sad news, no room for sentiment though in sport 😢 Ultimately it COULD be the right decision if the wages are spent wisely and goal scorers are incoming. Likewise it could be a disaster, as of yesterday Dack was probably our best goal scorer 🤯 Suppose I'll reserve judgement, for now

I'll be following with interest to be honest how he gets on at his new club, not sure why there'd be a need to close it.

Its just an idea, I know it'll never happen. But I'm interested to know why Chaddy thinks it's so ludicrous given that the actual benefits from being a season ticket holder diminish every season. Christ you even needed 1875 club on top to easily secure a Burnley away ticket last season, or face a mad scramble in the next phase.

Why? As things stand, the only real benefit from having one is you sit in the same seat every game really, given that kick off changes mean many can't make every single game. Next season you won't even need one to secure high demand away tickets with Burnley out of the equation, unless we get a particularly good cup draw ay some point.

Southampton, Plymouth and Ipswich will probably all bring decent followings to be fair. New ground/one they've not been to for ages factor coupled with Southampton presumably being up there doing well. Leicester, Leeds, Everton or Forest would too.

If they scrapped the traditional season ticket as I suggested, the prices could become dynamic on a match by match basis, if a game is moved for sky the entrance fee becomes 15 quid, or even a tenner if we're feeling generous. It's without a doubt a big factor in many peoples decision making process when parting with cash for a season ticket. The best thing about Leeds coming down would be they'll be on every week instead of us mind....

Waggott however has been marching round in his Leeds underpants for weeks singing marching on together rubbing his hands together at the thought of charging 8k of them 30 odd quid a pop

No its not, there is far, far more to it. Its a lazy response to just shrug our shoulders and say damn it, too expensive, that's it. I'm a prime example, the price is NOT the reason I'm not getting a season ticket and I know many others who are the same. I'm not a marketing expert, nor am I a financial services expert. But I know there's more the club could be doing in both areas. Klarna, clear pay, BNPL, do they even know what these things are? Do they know what a dormant customer is or how to engage with these people? It costs peanuts to do so if you have an ounce of business acumen. We have a wet behind the ears kid heading up our marketing department. You can read all the textbooks there is and get all the qualifications under the sun, but if you're not adapting to your target customers it's useless and I find it utterly bonkers there's not a senior, experienced person in that role. What's he done? A few bits at Bournemouth who have a garden shed of a ground to fill in a completely different area, predominantly in the premier league. Completely different ball game to us. It angers me that behind the scenes the club lacks passion or ideas, the only person who seems to have anything resembling that is commercial and partnerships manager Yasir Sufi. His focus seems more on diversity though and he can't do everything. Get a few more driven people like him in and we might actually get somewhere.

It absolutely might yes i agree. We've got a marketing department who are paid to find things like this out though. I'm exactly the type of ex season ticket holder they should be targeting but they simply can't be arsed. It's very narrow minded (and also wrong) to pass it off as 'fact' that the price is the sole reason people don't get a season ticket just cos matty effing blue says so though. I was paying 4.75 a pint whilst out yesterday enjoying the sun, did I think it was expensive? Yes, did I still pay it? Also yes.

Well yes, it is your opinion. Am I getting a season ticket this season? No. Is it because of the price? No. Of course the price may put some people off but I personally know numerous other ex season ticket holders who aren't basing a decision purely on price.

Well maybe it's not as simple as that, just because it's your opinion it doesn't mean it's everyone else's..... Of course we have a database, it wouldn't be that hard to you know, ask people why they've no interest.

How about just scrap season tickets completely. If you're an interested fan you're issued with a membership card, said card is linked to your bank account. You scan it upon entry and the cash is automatically taken. You also use this card to buy refreshments etc. You don't have an allocated seat, you just turn up and sit with your mates where there's space, pretty much like most away games. All games are charged at 20 quid regardless.

Someone very high up at the club, far too high most would say.... I think you can probably guess who from that.

Massively concerned about the keeper situation personally. I think Kaminski is definitely our best keeper, my worry now is that Pears becomes first choice, Kaminski leaves, then complacency kicks in for Pears. Don't get me wrong he's done slightly better than expected, but he still had to fight for his place then. Maybe I'm being a little harsh I guess. I have heard Kaminski has thrown the toys right out of the pram though which tarnishes his reputation a bit (although I kinda get why he feels that way).

In fairness the season has finished and there's not a great deal for the media team to be doing, yet. Apart from perhaps making a video with Birdy telling everyone to buy a season ticket.....see now a Brereton Diaz video probably doesn't sound so bad does it? He was obviously well liked at the club amongst the players and staff so it's no surprise to see this video either.....

Thats quite remarkable having a 24 year old in a 'head of' role - I bet his salary doesn't reflect that type of role though. There was a Marketing Assistant role advertised recently which I looked at to be nosey about the salary but it wasn't mentioned, it'll be another on the cheap though. The below are listed as some of the responsibilities (for this junior role): To conduct competitive research and analyse benchmarking data against best practice (LOL) To utilise marketing analytic techniques to gather important data for strategic decision-making (also LOL) Identify database growth opportunities to increase our reach (this is getting silly now) Analyse the supporter database to identify opportunities for better communications and engagement with supporters (I think you get the picture by now) So there you have it........

Would be nice to go on a bit of a tour round somewhere decent in Europe, Holland, Germany, not too fussy!

The financial services industry is absolutely booming, BNPL, Klarna and the like. A "take 3" offer. 3 payments of 100 pounds due by the end of August to pay for a 300 pound season ticket. Does anyone genuinely think that wouldn't work? What is the response to your comments? Is he just coming back with "we'll look into it" ?

The timings of the price increases show just how out of touch not only swag but the whole of the club are. I guess ultimately its down to him but surely there's people that work there that can point the basics out?!?! Many families out there will have an eye on their summer holiday and its around now that many of them are paying the outstanding balance which is approaching the deadline to pay it. Money is tight, folk have priorities! For little reasons like this, you will always get some late purchases when people return from holidays, but why the hell are they being penalised for doing so? So which one is it? Are they too oblivious to modern family life OR do they simply not give a fuck?

I've been undecided on JDT at times, absolutely disgusted at a few points too. I'm now at the point where I'd be pissed off if he left though. I think if the season was another 20 games long we'd probably go up, genuinely a shame that the season has now ended. Ironically despite the results of late we've played some of our best football recently, much better than when we were picking up more wins. Ultimately too goal shy, yesterday aside, but its not like we weren't creating anything. Players have finally adapted to the JDT style, its probably taken a bit longer than he'd liked/expected but he's stuck to it. It would be disastrous to have to start again now with a new manager/style. Hopefully we can keep hold of our key players and get the right additions in. Definitely need 2 strikers, 1 I expect will be permanent and 1 loan. The Markanday loan has been a massive let down, was hoping he'd bang a few in and come back ready to make an impact. Sure I read he's got a better goal:minute ratio than any other Rovers player this season mind. Something doesn't sit right with Vale either, not seen any updates at all on his progress recovering from injury, seems to be more to it. Leonard needs to at least be playing in the cup games next season to show us what he's about.

They're utterly brain dead and yeah adds weight to the no-one likes us chant, is it any wonder? Collective sigh of relief no doubt from the MET police that them twats aren't gonna be going to West Ham etc next season. As if they get so wound up by fans singing a west ham song, I wouldn't give 2 hoots if our opponents sang a Burnley song.

Noticed this comment on one of the pages on socials, it's this simple. Print it off and put it in the dressing room.

Not expecting anything today sadly, our luck is horrendous and we'd need far too much to go our way. I am however looking forward to next season IF the manager gets the backing he deserves. I guess it's ended up similar to last season ultimately, but it doesn't feel quite as disappointing given its the first season in England for our manager, and he was badly let down in Jan. Most importantly the players must learn from this. There's always mention of inexperience, well here we are, they've experienced what can go wrong, some of them numerous times now, learn from it and adapt. I think (hope) JDT has now realised Adam should be the first name on the team sheet, surely he has?
