£38-£45 in the Jack Walker for a ‘A’ or A+ game, the stand most popular for walk-ons. Madness and will only stall any potential momentum re a bump in crowds if we went on a good run.

Slightly, but not by a lot. You may, say, sell an extra 1,000 or so on a Saturday (if it’s not a ridiculously priced ‘A’ or ‘A+’ game at £40-£50) if we are doing well. However, a substantial crowd increase will only happen by selling more season tickets in the summer, ST holders make up the vast majority of our attendance base (something some people still don’t seem to grasp on this forum), we have never sold many on a match by match basis even when flying high in the PL. Always been the way here, so ergo selling less STs in a summer leads to the opposite, as we are seeing now…

Since Ipswich in August 1991.

Noticed the club made a point in highlighting the crowd figure on a Facebook post last night. I’ve certainly not noticed them do they before. Looks to me as a circling of the wagons and ‘f-you’ to the ones that aren’t there ‘supporting the lads’, not a wake up call to the worst crowds in 30 plus years.

Was always going to happen with such a poor number of STs sold this summer, we don’t attract many walk ons, so our crowds wax and wane on the back of ST sales. That’s why it is absolutely pivotal that we move heaven and earth each summer to keep the existing ST holders in the tent, even if we can’t attract new ones in decent numbers… alas the present regime just aren’t interested and are happy to just rinse the ever dwindling core for as much as possible.

Yes, there were a few boos, often is at grounds when a team puts in a poor half, but that isn’t translating to any particular issue with TM. I’d be surprised if anybody on here that has been a regular at Ewood this season is sensing a crowd on the verge of turning.

You reckon? I’m not sensing even the smallest of groundswells against TM. Safe as houses with the Ewood crowd.

It’s on Sky Sports Arena.

Bringing in a player, on loan, with ‘a pre existing injury’ and won’t be seen for a couple of months at least. I’d get irate about it, but just standard operations down there…

Mowbray over McCarthy, wow, there’s not a lot more to be said is there. I wouldn’t be wasting any more of my time and engaging in anymore back and forth if that’s his viewpoint on football managers.

Ah, I see, a topic is only ‘pointless’ when you don’t want to talk about it anymore. Fair enough.

But we didn’t sign them, so isn’t still talking about it also ‘pointless’?

Feel for you Tony, an example of a fan willing and able to support the club from afar, but having the piss taken. Of course the club were going to offer a piss poor service, this is a set up that in recent years has closed football’s first radio station and has now even stopped producing a match programme, a staple of a match day that even club’s at the level of Clitheroe can still get on sale. The first page of this thread is testament to how in denial some folk still are to the stripped down shell operation that we have to put up with, there was never going to be an ‘improved service’ this season, even from the rudimentary one provided by the EFL with ifollow.

Three centre halves, two full backs, two defensive midfielders… and it’s the strikers that should be stopping crosses coming in?

Groundsman with the old Umbro gear on there… shortages must be bad!

Will dovetail well with the murals outside the grou… oh

@only2garners @K-Hod Can JimEdd’s post be raised at the FF? This club really is in an utterly shambolic state, and it’s not bloody good enough.

Reopening in a couple of weeks I believe, so that’s another hole in the balance sheet!

Remember when Swag tried opening the ‘1875 Lounge’, had about 2 beers on and lasted about the same amount of games.

Says a lot about modern fandom that social media posts re delayed kits get far more of a united front of abuse aimed at Rovers than results, transfers, Brockhall, state of the club, owners, Waggott and so on…

2013 of all years to start following the Rovers! I can only salute you.

It nearly was a turning point, but not how the media liked to make out. It was that lot went on a storming run post Kung fu kick, whilst it was us that lost form at the business end…

Or you’d have a player modelling it in the LT, as a certain number 9 did in our new CIS kit… and then buggered off about a week later. 😭

I’d say a lot of fans read the odd thing in the LT about the Brockhall sale, but due to piss poor reporting and the refusal to even print Rev’s letter, I’d wager a majority, as they had nowhere near the deep dive into it that we had on here, would have had no issue with it.

Ok I’ll rephrase, yes of course some have walked away in despair, but the majority of Rovers fans aren’t interested in the ownership, Chief Exec. They just go to watch the team, and they won’t be back when the team is as average as this, never remotely threatening the top end of the table, just a club going through the motions - J*B’s second point is on the money. We on here and those that have walked away in despair know why we have such a mediocre team, however many fans aren’t interested in the reasons, just the reality and they won’t be parting with £30/40 to see it. We need to remember that most fans aren’t that invested, they don’t see it as their duty to attend, that their attendance could keep us out of FFP, they never marched, protested, turned up at Blakey’s, they won’t even be aware of the Brockhall situation. But floating or whatever, they’ve gone and there’s nothing currently that will bring them back, especially at the quite ridiculous prices, apart from actually doing something on the pitch, so as I said I’m not sure what the point of the thread is when there will be nothing forthcoming from the club either on or off the pitch to entice people back.
