Obviously Sammie just cracks on and gives his all regardless of ‘the noise’ but interesting that he alludes to the ‘negativity’ of journalists, we only really have one that reports on Rovers and he’s not exactly The Sun going after ‘Turnip Taylor’ c1993. If young Elliot is seen as some negative force it gives further insights to their mindset behind the scenes and just shows how weak and unwilling to face any kind of criticism this crop of players are (which we know already from their comments in ‘the meeting’, oh, and their performances).

Proposing ‘crowd funding’ standard stadium works, I.e seating. The brass neck of them.

But think of all the lovely savings on cleaning and maintenance, the fact you could lose long standing ST holders will be an afterthought, just like it was with the Darwen End and Blackburn End Upper closures.

Bit salty that, K-Hod. It was a genuine question to how the execs frame their answer, so how do Swag et al respond to the why are they still here question?

He’s partly right Cov are as an example. They sold their star man last summer and then re-invested in players… soooo in what way is that comparable to here?

Sent his apologies looking at the attendee list.

If it is another ‘freeze’, or some pitiful ‘reduction’, or even an increase, then do the WATR leadership on here think you’ve not been treated in good faith and they are just paying lip service to you as fan groups? And if so where does that leave the relationship?

‘The owners are fully committed to the club’ standard boilerplate we’ve heard about 10,000 times… does nobody in these sessions, be it WATR, FF ever simply ask ‘Why?’

Another club that gets very lucky due to geography. Only takes a bit of ‘success’ and crowds can double. Alas, cannot and will not happen here for many reasons

You never get the feeling that the likes of this Read lad have the remotest feel of what makes the Rovers fanbase tick, how you engage, what drives ticket sales. A mile out of his depth.

As we know they never refuse to sign a cheque, so looking forward to that summer warchest.

AW vs GB, like Tyson/Holyfield.

Oh people liked him personally, who wouldn’t, but football wise, not a chance he was preferred over TM.

If they see sense and use the additional TV money to offer a *decent* price reduction (not twenty quid off an early bird) they may just about tread water. However, if they pig headedly stick to £400/£500 pricing then it’s going to be catastrophic. Probably worse than 2021 when we didn’t even hit 7k. So the kind of figures a fair few sides in League 2 won’t be a million miles off.

Really, Admiral? Not my experience, at all. I don’t recall anybody around me ever singing JDT’s praises even when riding high. Whereas Teflon Tony could do no wrong until the bitter end. Maybe I somehow ended up sat in the Saint Anthony fan club, but I doubt it.
