He didn't even get on the bench, let alone off it.

All 4 are now self isolating for 14 days and out of tonight’s game - one of them has Covid, but it’s not been announced which one.

Some time ago any person living alone or with kids was allowed to go into a bubble with another household. My younger son joined our “bubble” so we were allowed to go to each other’s houses and stay over. He could therefore come with me to a game and he would if he wasn’t mostly on shift when we play.

No Simon, you won’t be. Anyone will be able to sit with their household group or anyone in a bubble but not with people outside that. So a group of mates will be out. Not Rovers rules, it will be the same for everyone.

They aren’t. You are buying your normal seat but if you are allowed in under social distancing you will almost certainly be sitting elsewhere for the duration but will be able to go back to “your” seat if and when normality resumes.

I’m pretty sure the club announced it last week. In any case it was inevitable when the Rule of 6 was announced last week.

For clarity you can renew your existing season tickets and seats now and you will be able to keep them and return there as and when things return to normal. For the duration of .the pandemic when fans are allowed into the ground you will be allocated seats based on social distancing rules. Whether you will keep that same seat for other games I don’t know but I would imagine so. If you have other season tickets in your household or bubble then you will be able to sit together as long as you all arrive at the same time. The rules surrounding attending socially distanced games are quite extensive and complicated. I assume the full details are in the attached Code of Conduct although I haven’t yet had time to read it. But from what I understand you will be allocated a seat(s) and have to agree to being in your seat at a set time. Food and drink kiosks will operate on a reduced menu but you will be encouraged not to linger on the concourse and the TV screens will not be showing Sky Sports or the game.

Even if we sell 9,000 it won’t produce anything like £4m. More like half that when you factor in children, young adult and senior discounts.

Most of the games are only this weekend - we brought ours forward because of International call ups this week.

It’s not a trial. Clubs in leagues below National Leagues North and South are allowed fans in as long as they follow social distancing. Whether the latter has actually been happening is a moot point I guess.

There is a sort of truth in Richard's claim. His second appearance for Rovers against Millwall was on the right side of a back three.

The clubs concerned will have to do it following social distancing rules but yes, just like that. It’s come after pressure from 30+ MPs to the Sports Minister.

Restrictions on fans attending games at clubs below National League North & South have been lifted today.

As I pointed out earlier in this thread I still haven’t forgiven Wigan for “pinching” Southport’s league position in 1978, the last team to leave the Football League by the re-election process.

No surprise there rumoured for days.

Preston expect to put their STs on sale in the "next couple of weeks". With a 25-30% capacity at Deepdale they plan to sell first to their ambassadors, whatever they are.

To be honest most sides do it most of the time - it's just that you usually can't hear it most of the time because of the crowd.

Bournemouth have replaced Eddie Howe with assistant manager Jason Tindall.

It’s a hell of a commute from Yarm.

The old adage for gyms from before Covid still applies - walk, run or cycle to your gym. When you get to the front door turn round and walk, run or cycle home. Exercise done and lots of gym fees saved.

September 12th is currently the most likely date but nothing is agreed as yet. There was talk of the end of August which would mean fewer midweek games but it leaves a very short time - less than a month from the end of the play-offs and no fixture list can be issued until after then. September 12th has the problem of there being an International "break" right before it.

Wigan's administrator has said that he has a preferred bidder for the club, who needs to confirm that full funding is with their lawyer and needs to sign a contract by 31st July.

Without wishing to get into the Mowbray debate that’s rubbish Mercer. Curtis’ exit poll will be carefully balanced to be a reflection of the voting public as a whole. With the best will in the world any poll on here is a self selecting poll of those who are members and come on here regularly enough to see a poll. As others have said there are other Rovers groups who similarly self select and come up with a different answer, one that equally does not represent the views of all Rovers fans.

I don't know why the Millwall v Boro game was at 3pm and ours is at 7.45pm. At the Fans Forum the other week Steve Waggott said that the club were trying to get the Cardiff and Millwall games brought forward to stop a return in the early hours, but clearly they didn't manage to.

Well he’s got a first for me, tucking his shorts into his socks.
