  1. Great idea, but won’t happen. Because they know as it’s Boxing Day there will be a couple of thousand extra than usual wiling to cough up the Cat A prices. So Cat A it will be. Bugger the big picture.
  2. Interview with Michael Appleton in today’s Times. Touches on Rovers... ’It was a mess. I was there two months, never met Shebby Singh. Yet, I turn up one day to find an envelope on my desk, just saying my services are no longer required due to poor results. It was a shock. We were still in a healthy position on the league (18th), which was my remit, I was reducing the wage bill. We had 18 players injured’. Really has been a decade horribilis...
  3. Plus an upwardly mobile Stanley eating into our support across Hyndburn. So how does our management respond? Almost £50 tickets.
  4. Absolute no question that he still has the vast majority of the match going crowd. I find it very interesting that he seems to defy the usual logic of who gets blamed for a struggling team. In the first half and after their goal I heard fan after fan lamenting how crap we are, how 2019 has been really poor win wise, how many soft goals we concede, how we aren’t going anywhere... yet not a single one joined the dots and pointed a finger at the manager.
  5. One of the everlasting joys of football is the last minute winner... our first in the over two and a half year reign of this manager, that’s some barren spell.
  6. Heard a tale today. Our commercial manager has gone to Blackpool, as they offered to double the pittance he was on here. He wrote a letter to Waggott outlining how gutted he was having to leave the club he supports, Waggott laughed and ripped it up in front of him...
  7. Nope, just like most Rovers fans, ergo lowest home attendance.
  8. Yeah part time bastards, I mean they’ve known it was £48 all season, should’ve just saved up.
  9. End of the day, Mowbray has created a very secure position for himself, I can’t see him being potted at all this season, or at least until it’s much too late. Couple that with the still massive amounts of goodwill remaining for him in the stands. So we can only hope he somehow turns it round.
  10. Lowest home fan attendance of the season.
  11. Still have parachute payments, so keep them up this season and go for it next (oh and treble your wages) will be his thinking, you’d imagine..
  12. TalkSport just tweeted that Alex Neil about to be appointed at Stoke...
  13. A Liverpool fan and you fancy sitting in the Kop to watch the European Champions play Man Utd, City etc? £42. Im afraid this club has taken leave of its senses.
  14. £48 if you wanted to turn up today and sit in the Jack Walker, that is utterly, utterly ridiculous for a club like us. The fact a few folk are trying to justify it because you ‘can just save up’ or ‘it’s fine because Sheff Wed charged us £36 last season’ is just as bonkers (though not when you see who it is).
  15. He’s right in one sense, if you’d have asked most folk at half time they wouldn’t have wanted him sacked. Obviously that survey is skewed due to the fact we’d just put in a good first half performance. But for me I still witness a very sizeable constituency of support for TM at games. I can foresee some rows erupting in the stands on Saturday if it looks like another defeat...
  16. ‘We have more attacking talent than I can ever remember from a Rovers squad and that is testimony to Mowbray’s signings. There have been flashes and signs of progression and I trust Mowbray to find more consistency. Considering what he has rescued the club from, I believe he deserves the chance to see this project through. Kelvin Wilkins ‘ Kelvin is about 11 years old then, I take it?
  17. Sure that article gets re-released every year...
  18. Almost £500 that would set you back on Saturday
  19. Jim Wilkinson who’s an ex journo himself has tweeted...
  20. £48 (FORTY EIGHT POUNDS) if you turn up on the day and choose the Jack Walker...
  21. Many club’s have a decent infrastructure, often said infrastructure is improved by the manager, fair play to him for the work he has put in, but he isn’t the Sporting Director. The buck stops with him for results on the pitch. If he can no longer get a tune out of the players he has to go. And his record over the last THIRTY games (not 6) is relegation form.
  22. I don’t, he’d be telling us to ‘get real’ first.
  23. Bundles don’t work here, they never have, but the club keeps on with them.
  24. You honestly expect the likes of Dunn or Gallagher, ex players that live locally and work with the club to publicly call for the manager to be sacked?
  25. Going to be a piss poor gate on Saturday you’d wager with any floating fan who simply wants to buy a Sheff Wed ticket being charged up to £48 for the privilege...
