Liverpool, Villa? I thought Rovers’ rightful place is the lower leagues?

So that means he’s a poor player? I would say JDT deciding to stop bothering with a midfield and throwing everyone forward every time we had the ball might just have left him a tad exposed in the centre of the park as we hurtled down the league.

Their fans did knock a Christmas tree over once in the Postal Order.

Good old Rev, once he gets an opinion that’s that! Tronstadt has rarely had a poor game since the day he arrived.

David Batty was top class in 93/94, alas injury and then the first to leave the post title sinking ship meant we never really saw enough of him

‘Meet at Spiral at 12 and we’ll go and get a pint of sarsaparilla’

You’d say it has to be someone on the phone getting the wrong end of the stick or the club actually is barring anybody who hasn’t been to a game in 2024 going to the season’s biggest fixture. Been travelling? Tough! Been ill? Tough! Though it does sound ridiculous enough to be true.

Yep, whilst in this league it is very simple, make them cheaper, that’s it. There is absolutely no other way for us to sell substantially more than 9/10k. Bolton have proved you don’t need ‘flexi tickets’. Make them cheap and if you fancied one but know you’ll miss a few (I.e night games) you’ll probably get one anyway… however price them between £350 and £550, you won’t.

I’d imagine it’s largely the ideas of Miller and the WATR committee, as I’m sure I’ve remembered him posting those ideas on here in the past (and in the WATR Prospectus from last year).

Ah, jobs for the boys, that explains it.

Well he’s just as bad then.

All relative, imagine the difference a Jason Roberts would make to this team.

Starstruck owners again. Also see the fella at Plymouth.

Sorry, what. So a Rovers fan can’t get a ticket to a game that will have c10,000 empty seats? A game by its very nature that will attract fans that only go now and again. Once again, the club are actively trying to discourage attendance. What on earth is going on down there. @K-Hod @only2garners

Glad you aren’t starting in ‘95 and working forward as you are supposed to get more excited as advent progresses.

Yep, like I was saying the other day season ticket sales across the Championship next season will be interesting. Second tier crowds at their highest levels since the 1950s has lulled the greedy clubs into a false sense of security that it’s just like the Premier League down here, you can put half the games on TV and folk will turn out in record numbers regardless… guess what, they won’t, as this ain’t the PL.

Waste of time here as Burnley aside every away game will go to general sale.

So when I was being patronised by a few on here on Saturday for even merely suggesting that us being the only game in the top 3 divisions to be postponed may have just a little to do with having our drainage facilities being long overdue for replacing has now been corroborated by the head groundsman…

… or Leeds where’s its £35-£45

And shows they have zero understanding of fanbases and how they are made up of differing types of fans with diverse behaviours and what drives sales at varying times of a summer. I.e. some pay no attention to early birds etc, they just make a late decision to buy on the back of a positive vibe, some good late signings, two early wins… but it’s pushing 500 quid? Err, no thanks!

I get phase 1 and 2, they all do it and we certainly want cash flow. But phase 3 stops a potential latecomer getting one full stop, surely a little bit of extra cash in August is better than none at all.

All clubs seem to do some kind of early bird, marketing BS, but it is what it is. However, that phase 3 nonsense which will obviously put off any potential buyer in the couple of weeks in the run up to the season when folk are getting into football mode again, or if we won a couple of early games and there’s a bit of a buzz around the place. Can anybody explain the rationale of that apart from actively trying to put potential customers off?

I presumed it’s because WATR and brfcs are no in partnership as much as anything... which is still poor comms for me as surely this place should be a key part of any stakeholder management/comms plan.

There were some on here in the summer who thought he was a marvellous appointment, presumably their thumbs up will be along shortly…

Any other pro club in the country you reckon that doesn’t open its shop or ticket office on a working day?
