… or to rename it the Tony Parkes Riverside that was being ‘looked into’ as far back as pre-Covid.

To be fair he has to fit all family engagements into international breaks as he certainly wouldn’t be missing QPR at home for one.

Agreed. @only2garners , can this be on the agenda please? I’ve asked this to be raised before as I just can’t fathom it… at least the de-Roversisation of Blues Bar they can blame on Sodexho.

Bolton, Wolves, Derby all traditional old clubs like ourselves. The league game is therefore enough just like it was for the 100th and 125th, plus play in a one off kit, job done. If you are going to have an additional game you surely don’t just have a 40 minute kick about between amateurs and a bunch of 50/60 year olds an hour after the game - either do it properly or don’t bother.

Parson has made it clear that he has fundamentally no issue with how the club is being run.

The obvious solution, but of course this lot not never take that option.

If it’s only a piddling 40 minutes why not play it pre the Derby game?

At least they have a proactive (very active) approach to their club, can question their patience, but at least they care. Comprare and contrast to whatever our ‘custodians’ are supposed to be.

With half the clubs owned by Americans and their wholly unromantic view of clubs as US sport franchise-style revenue generators it’s only a matter of time.

Get rid of friendlies and qualifiers and purely use the Nations League and play offs instead.

Not a load of difference in quality between Stanley in L2 and a NL game anyway.

You need to work on your sarcasm monitor, Len.

Yeah forget about CVs and all that, as long as you are a ‘club legend’ everything will work out fine.

Reading the BBC article on it, it was Ancelotti Jr’s job until Martin ‘knocked it out of the park’ on interview. So, there will be plenty of mug owners yet that fall for his gift of the gab…

Olympic/Rovers all the same for the execs of BwD Borough Rovers.

Why is it ‘embarrassing’ to think we’ll go down?

They can get changed on the car park, they need to make sure they’ve paid though…

A team we lost a final to 140 years ago, pats on the back all round.

So what is your actual point? Everybody knows that these players came in via transfer fees, might have been £10millions worth, we all know that, so what? That proves something or other re the owners? So how does it when the club brought in more than that it sales? They outlayed ZERO, indeed made a profit.

‘Net spend’, look it up.

We’ve spent three years out of four knocking on the doors of the PL, of course there would be interest.

If foreign owners are giving the Dingles a good go, then there would be no issue here.

‘Hollywood’ Birmingham owned by a Chinese majority shareholder and a New York hedge fund.

Big Val with contacts in Switzerland, presumably his Zurich bank manager.

Can’t imagine they’ll get close to filling it at half 12 on Sky, they aren’t doing great themselves.
