8,700 full STs when they went off sale last September, so we'll probably just about crawl back to that by this September. 👏

So 8 thousand and something yet again this season. Absolutely piss poor when ST sales records are being broken across English football. Just retire for f*ck sake.

Twenty years ago… good surgeon has our Souey 🔪

Of course, and that would always be the excuse the apologists would hide behind - ‘well we can’t compare ourselves to [insert pretty much every other Championship club here]’… until our neighbours started doing it too.

O captain! My captain!

Tough crowd is yankfan 😄

Hull, yet another club closing in on record sales this summer. Anyone would think there’s a crowd boom going on in English football or something.

The one ‘weakness’ of Phillips last season was he looked a bit slight/lightweight playing as a Championship centre half (obviously no surprise as he was so young he couldn’t even have a vape related sponsor on his shirt!) Looking at him on Saturday he’s even sorted that out! Going to be some player.

If saying he wasn’t as bad as Ke*n is me getting ‘offended on his behalf’, then I’m happy to be a snowflake.

London Euston with its marvellous arch, look at it now. St Pancras just avoided the same fate.

You can’t see the odd ‘Cambridge blue’ bit of collar when they are on the pitch, so all good.

*Away from this message board he was well respected by most Rovers fans.

London MUST have its two Tests (used to be three) as the ECB make a fortune from corporate sales. The rest of the grounds can fight over the crumbs.

Well I have one hundred and four friends.

An example of how much cricket has changed these past twenty years, especially for centrally contracted players... Mark Wood has got to 33 and has never played at Old Trafford 🤯

I don’t particularly want any reflected glory for Venky’s when we go up in May either but that’s just how it is.

I know what you are saying Bizzle, when the early run towards the top fizzled out it was pretty tedious either side of the World Cup, but I thought it all started to come together later on, getting the ball forward quicker etc - just no bloody striker. I personally think we’ll see his team playing his way next season so I’m intrigued to see how we go.

Even more so when you don’t want your Old Trafford ticket to be for a dead rubber! 🫣

Exactly! Lucky guy that Big Sam was necking pints of wine on tape. But that’s life, right place, right time is a big part of success in your career/life.

Good work, no doubt, but his profile, his chance of getting big managerial jobs was negligible. Look at Carsley, how many folk out there even knew who the U21 boss was a month ago?

The big payday helps, his career was going nowhere in particular pre getting this gig.

Doubt it matt when we have the pop gun attacks of SL and WI coming next summer. This series just isn’t typical of modern Test cricket.

This Oz side is top quality. Most aren’t at this level, Duckett isn’t an issue.

Duckett’s is nearly 50. He’s certainly good enough.

I’m not particularly arsed about the England football team, club before country every time for me, but I do enjoy how the country has a jolly old time when it’s major tournament time. But I shouldn’t support them because of the government and the FA? So I shouldn’t support Rovers because I have no time for Blackburn with Darwen Council or Venky’s?
