I don't think I have ever received anything from PNE and I live in PR1 and have done since 1985. And I'm pretty sure I'm on their database given I have bought the odd ticket direct from them.

I think we were still playing at Stoke at 5.05pm.

They have drawn their last 2 away games. They are unbeaten since 23rd September after a bad start but 5 of those 13 games have been draws and Rotherham managed a draw there so it's not an impossible task. Another new ground for me on Saturday.

Yes they do, exactly the same as all other professional clubs do. ST holders have paid for tickets so are counted, standard accounting practice. Years ago I remember John Williams telling the Fans Forum that on average 10% of ST holders don’t turn up for any given home game. It’s obviously more for a midweek game on a cold night just before Christmas for a game against a team neither at the top of the table or a local derby than for a standard 3pm Saturday game.

My post was meant to be largely tongue in cheek. Obviously the table will change plenty as the season progresses. But it is a theme this season that we have mostly beaten lower placed teams and struggled against the teams above us. This is in reverse to what we often used to do in previous seasons - perform well against the top teams only to lose to the bottom ones. Our home form is in direct contrast to our away form and again is the other way round from recently. Only Millwall have lost the 6 home games that we have but only the top two have won more away games than us.

Start playing poorer teams? As of now we have 13 home games left and 10 are against teams below us and one of those other 3 is only above on goal difference.

The circumstances were different. Barnsley fielded an ineligible player. Forest Green had all the clearances to play the player but there was some admin cock up meaning not everyone was informed.

You can’t seriously think that a player like Adam with his agent only gets information about PL wages from his mates in an England junior team?

I feel a lot more comfortable now...

Swansea have sacked Michael Duff after 6 months - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/67618235

The game is not on Sky. They chose Sunderland v West Brom. The early kick-off is on Police advice.

Leeds game at Preston on Boxing Day is also a 12.30 kick off.

Tyrone - can you not offer it to the Trust to raffle off at the Watford game for Community Trust funds? Or get the Community Trust to do it themselves?

All clubs are potentially in trouble for allowing fans to stand, which is still currently against the law. Which clubs are in more trouble than others is down to to the approach of the various local Safety Advisory Groups. Rovers’ local SAG has just had a new Chair which might signal a new approach. There is I think no immediate issue but it certainly could happen.

Except he’s injured, picked up in the International break. He was apparently close to starting for Spurs last weekend before that. Mainly because Spurs are so short mind.

Being unaware is nothing to do with disinterest - I doubt they have been told yet. And right now no one is asking any fan to find anything. All we have done is ask a question. I’m guessing your response is no and that’s fine.

2,101 - I'm in the South Stand.

I presume it doesn't have to be. Even if it was you could still have your name on a seat even if you don't sit/stand there. Or collectively somewhere else.

I would be amazed if the club's owners even know we have asked a question about crowdfunding. The question was put in by Mike with the full agreement of the working group, not by the club. There are examples of other clubs crowdfunding for safe standing so it seemed a sensible question to ask. If a majority of fans think even the vague possibility is disgusting and indefensible we will soon find out.

It really makes no difference. If he's rested he can then play against Leeds, so misses one game. If he plays and gets booked he will miss the Leeds game, so misses one game. If he plays and doesn't get booked he can play both and is past the first cut-off date.

I think we are aware of that Hasta. If and when this moves forward there will be a separate consultation with any fans directly affected by any proposal.

Philip - you forgot the 5-0 win we had 4 seasons ago. I will be there but in the South stand with my Wednesday supporting mate, hoping for something similar. That game we were on the Eastbank and I have never seen so many fans leave a game so early as when we scored early in the second half to make it 4-0.

The Riverside has been ruled out. There's not much point in investing in a.stand that you might want to replace and anyway if you put standing space at the back you wouldn't be able to see the pitch.

There were only 3 goal scorers for Rovers.

No I don’t Tyrone. I said he can state his opinion and so can I. And you and everyone else can too.
