If we don't get 4 points from the next 4 games VI will have a worse record from the same number of games as Owen Coyle... Currently on 33 games, 10 wins and 7 draws. Coyle had 37 games, 11 wins and 8 draws.

WATR has a small number of people in the coalition chat, the same as several other groups, but it’s not accurate to suggest that the trust has been driving decisions or stifling action. No single group has been in control of what the coalition does or doesn’t do. As I understand, things understandably went quieter after legal threats were made towards one of the main individuals fronting the coalition. Given the seriousness of that situation, it’s only natural that they would take a step back. Unfortunately, rather than others stepping forward to take on that role, a number of people chose to leave instead. Alongside that, there were concerns around potential policing costs, personal liability and information being leaked from within the group, all of which made people more cautious about being visible or outspoken. There were discussions about doing something around the Derby game, but coming off wins against Southampton, Leicester and Bristol City, there were genuine concerns about turnout and how effective any action would be at that point. Posts that focus on blaming other supporter groups don’t really help and just play into the clubs hands. If anyone wants to see action happen, the most positive way forward is getting involved and helping to organise it. It’s easy to say more should have been done, but it’s much harder to commit the time and responsibility needed to make something happen.

We have a 3 week break in home games after 4th January (FA Cup aside). Roughly the same time non-league Rochdale are allowing to install new drainage and a new pitch: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/ce91x2pdelno Just get it booked in tomorrow. If we're drawn at home in the cup I don't see it being an issue to switch to being away...

I think this would have been one of my first games, just turned 8: https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/spielbericht/index/spielbericht/2635911 First (half) season ticket the following Christmas.

Do we know where/who the overdraft is with? If what's being put into the club is the bare minimum I think I'd rather that keep increasing than Venkys putting more money in themselves. Brings administration a possibility when the lender calls it in. Good to know pretty much all the season ticket revenue is going on paying interest on it... 😶

Val knows.... Get them outed...!

Pretty sure it's 16 😕

He's been in charge for just over 9 months - played 15 home games and won 3. I missed the Millwall game after the shite run of performances beforehand (first time in 30+ years I've chosen not to attend a home game) and was on holiday for the Southampton game. I've seen them win once at home under this manager and last Friday away at North End. 2 live wins in 9 months ffs. No doubt, he is contributing big time to low home attendances regardless who put him in the job. Before last night he needed to win 4 out of these 5 home games over the next 3 week period to change opinions - big pressure next Tuesday against Ipswich now.

On the 1st November, Cantwell posted an Instagram/Facebook story of a photo of him walking on the beach with the caption "The next step is always the most important one". Sounds like he's planning something.

There's around 400 seats in each of those end blocks. If we've been given 5,900 (on the basis both those end sections become available), that's over 5,000 sold as of today.

I watched North End's first half. They're benefiting from having an established (for this league anyway) manager who's had chance to build a style of play. It also helps that despite having a turnover of transfers not far off Rovers-level over the summer, of the 12 they've brought in 11 were UK based. They've spent far less yet their recruitment has been much better.

There's been 2 in the last 5 weeks or so. Glen's even posted one above your message 🤨

There was a tweet a few weeks ago - someone had asked EJ whether he was doing an interview with the club after the transfer window closed given the videos with the in house media team and Radio Lancs. Pretty sure his reply was along the lines of Suhail wouldn't allow it... Parallels with JDT "Ask Suhail" - start name checking, get banned(sacked).

I'd suggest the reason is they're still advertising this: https://jobs4football.com/job/loan-manager/ Tin pot – nobody in the role to push for moves, so we’re left with youngsters who are either too good or too old for the U21s and in need of men’s football experience, but they’ll be sat on the sidelines for the next four months.
