I doubt ‘the club’ would be arsed either way, it’s the majority of fans who would go bananas…

Ha that’s certainly the non-brfcs social media vibe. As ‘shit fans us, no point doing offers’ will be when c15/16k trap.

How long you lived away from east Lancs again, Masher? 😁

Ha, it’s an anonymous message board, very odd thing to be precious about.

You’re on a strange one today…

Because it won’t get anywhere near the numbers of a Saturday, so it’s a poor choice. Not at all complicated.

Three of us could start a thread saying how great all things BRFC are page after page with little grief? Aye ok!

Yes, I’m very positive as the majority of my posts show, and as I want the club to be the best it can be it needs calling out when the commercial side of the club makes poor decision after poor decision. This is another, £10 offers are finite before you start getting the backs up of ST holders/undervaluing STs, so you need to pick the right match, and this is completely the wrong choice of game (as Niko above has also explained), and I’ll say so despite being tarred with tiresome ‘negative’/‘positive’ crap, cheers.

England to win the World Cup… oh sorry that was the last either/or.

Last season proved they work. Over 20k home fans in for what was pretty much a dead rubber (for us) against Bournemouth on the 30th April. Not to be sniffed at considering we only had c8k ST holders at that point. This time we could be still be well in the mix by late April, so a big gate to roar them on against play off rivals Luton on the 29th would be perfect, surely? It’s all very simple, yet this lot seem to take the non simple option time and again…

If any game is on the Sky red button it will also be on RoversTV (ifollow) in the UK. You just won’t get Saturday afternoons.

Or Norwich on Good Friday. Or Luton last home game of the season a la Bournemouth last year. But no. Reading, in March, in midweek, with the red button available. I mean, what can you say. 🤦‍♂️

A midweek FFS! It won’t sell particularly well in comparison to a weekend and will be used as further proof that cheaper tickets don’t work. I despair, I really do.

It feels like we’ve been on as much, if not more, than the top 2. Very odd.

You reckon if a few Rovers fans joined UTC they would get a fair hearing, get to debate and become long standing members?

No I get it for a cup tie away at a PL club when we are also going for the play offs… however that lot, at home? Though I thought it summed up this last decade perfectly, in fairness.

Nice piece on the BBC… https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/64737881

But he then said he wants ‘6 or 7 quality players’, what kitty they coming out of?

I quite like this one, as in comparison to the ‘BFC Appreciation Society’ which is The Dingles thread, this reminds us all just how small time they really are…

Someone called Burnley, *at home*, a ‘free hit’ the other day and it may have been the most depressing thing I’ve ever read on here…

We’ve had a 17, 18 and 19 year old play first team league games this season… some trough!

Pre-Venky’s is the rub there. We’ve no idea what would have happened if instead of blowing the place up in 12 months, the club had continued to be run as it was under John Williams.

End of the day JDT should do what he feels best. Anybody with any kind of niggle/fitness worry shouldn’t be risked. On the flip side, presuming that lot beat Fleetwood, after Reading (15th March), we won’t have a league game for two and a half weeks, so there will soon be time to freshen folk up. He has tinkered well in cup ties thus far and I trust his judgment (he’ll still get a load of grief on here obviously if he’s deemed to have tinkered too much, you can see positions being taken already).

Oh I think he has plenty of brain power, he’s clever enough to eke out as much as possible for himself for as little work as possible. He’s just a hired hand that feels absolutely nothing for BRFC and it’s long term health. Just one last payday before he retires.

Oh and Leeds on ITV1 at the same time… so we’ll say third (not having Stoke/Brighton over us).
