The idea behind a price change is to encourgae earlier renewal or purchase to advance the cash received, or peoples circumstances changing, or people having too long to think about what a shit show it is. From a business perspective getting the money in earlier is always a good idea to remove risk but also benefit from interest etc, especially in the low season for income when no matches are being played. I have used something similar in businesses I have been a finance leader to encourgae customers to pay quicker, say normal terms are 60 days but offer a cash discount if they pay in 15 days (2%) or 30 days (1%). The problem with a football club, esepcially one like ours, is that disposable income is not massive for most and in the summer with holidays, kids off school etc, it can get eaten up a lot quicker so having 300-500 quid to spend is tough many at this time of the year, especially if trying to justify it to the better half at the minute!

Baby D - Let Me Be Your Fantasy

I was in the front row with my Dad, my mums family are from Liverpool and many season ticket holders who borrowed Rovers scarfs, hats and tops off us. We celebrated with them after in Old Swan with all the family including some champagne my Dad had saved for a special occasion.

Just turned up to watch The Libertines in Amsterdam, warm up music on and they’re playing Joy Division, it’s a sign! ”Duff! Duff will tear you apart again” het your money on it.

Anyone trying make sense of what these clowns are doing is treading a dangerous path towards madness!

Significant! I suppose it is subjective as something is significantly more than nothing, but we’ve spent significantly less than we have raised, so spin that you shower of ####’s!

The Beatles - Back in the USSR

Joke of a ref again, that Hedges booking is a disgrace.

Not done much wrong? He booked two of ours for nothing then gave a free kick for a dive ffs.

We have been absolutely terrible, but this ref is clueless, Preston players conning him in to free kicks and yellows before that red card, which was probably right but he caused it the prick.

That was an awful 45 minutes and we were lucky to go in nil nil against ten men. Need to change to up second half, get Gueye, Cantwell and the baby Saka on. Oh, and if anyone knows the prick who through that object from our fans give him a smack.

One thing I haven’t seen mentioned, are the club not doing a bus to the game? Given the extra money they’ll make from the game maybe they could have put some extra busses on to the game, not free but at cost. They can’t be the only ones who don’t know public transport is a shambles.

It seems incompetence follows me round! My now local team also don’t know how to complete a transfer, so it wasn’t just that useless lot down at Ewood.

I liked Eryka Badu, but I won’t go On & On…. sorry

Waggot “Johnny boy, you’ve just scored 10 goals in 2 games, I’m not picking up the phone to India to ask for permission to spend money on extra players, they’ll laugh at me”

Or Mimms with Gennoe!

I get all the frustration with the position we are in when looking to sign players, a 2nd/3rd division German player isn’t exactly inspiring but we’ve had hits and misses from all levels over the years. Some bad signings from top divisions or highly rated players that I was expected much more from over the years: Murphy, Etuhu, a bunch of Portuguese players, Barry Ferguson, Giorgios Donnis, to name a few off the top of my head. some good signings out of nowhere, lower or reserve divisions: Chris Samba, Sammie Szmodics, Ryan Nelsen, Nzonzi, even Friedel! My point is we have to cut our cloth, historically we had a strong network of scouts and managed to pluck some gems that made us a lot of money. I don’t have confidence in this lot to get near those levels, but I’ll cling on to the hope that someone could come good, feint hope, but hope still.

There’s a few fruit cakes on here and some comments take the biscuit. I feel we have a wafer thin squad and need to beef it up a bit, our keeper has butter fingers and I’d prefer we player with a pear of strikers. Hope I didn’t make an Eton Mess of that.

The Black Keys - Lonely Boy

I can’t watch or listen to his rubbish, he’s just another Kean, talking absolute rubbish and not seemingly watching the same games we are. At least JDT had pride and spoke with honesty, even if his tactics were failing, this guy is a journey man and taking a wage for misleading us fans and talking rubbish.
