The ‘Big 6’ is a waste of time. We struggle to sell a 100 of them. By that time if you want to commit to multiple matches you already will have done, with either a full or half ST. A better idea is to target a couple of matches in the run in with £10/15 tickets anywhere in the ground.

Don’t fancy Hart myself, lost whatever he had. But the fella was England number 1 for years, record number of Golden Gloves and a multiple title winner. ‘One of the worst keepers ever’, ‘worst keeper I’VE EVER SEEN’, ‘worse than Fettis’ Come off it!

Only works if most walk on fans are members of or are planning to join 1875. I would wager that plenty aren’t and will take one look at those prices when Leeds and Sheff Wed come to town and just don’t bother.

We won’t end up behind... only 1500 to go to reach last season’s sales, supposedly

Then shouldn’t they have announced the match day prices at the same time as STs? Highlighting the big savings, instead of with three and a half weeks to KO? Possibly a panic announcement as ST sales are down...

7,200 sold in mid July. Do we usually sell 3,000 STs post claim your seat deadline in the final few weeks? I’d say no we don’t, so Waggott is going to miss his target... again. Though we NEVER sell 10,000 anyway, do we Steve?

I imagine for those two Cat A+ games there will be a bigger discount than normal for 1875 members to offset. Therefore the club needs to do a better job of signing walk up fans up to it or there will be a lot of angry folk around the time of those games.

Interesting approach to match day tickets. Slight increase to Category A and B (£1 more generally) But, Category C has been removed, replaced by a Category A+ just for Leeds and... Sheff Wed. £40 behind the goals, £45 Jack Walker upper!!! I can only presume this is payback for big prices at their ground, as Sheff Wed rarely bring more than 1500/2000, so it won’t be a massive earner like say if Preston was A+

Not the way NZ are playing. Their batting has been atrocious last few games, Williamson aside.

Swansea have already had theirs, so imagine their wage bill has plummeted.

On the surface Bennett has it made. New contract Plays every week Popular in dressing room (seemingly) Good relationship with fans. Only reason would be he’s been told he is now down the pecking order...

Supine local press don’t help. Sharpe was informed of the discrepancy and said he would follow it up with him... he didn’t.

7,200 sold so far. 10,000 target. https://www.lancs.live/sport/football/football-news/season-ticket-sales-matter-much-16527660 Waggott still saying 8,800 sold last season, contradicting Fans Forum minutes that said we sold 10,000+ https://www.rovers.co.uk/contentassets/d47edf0f19cd47dea3a73e898f8da69c/ff-minutes-7.1.19.pdf He’s now gone further and said we’ve NEVER sold 10,000 since relegation. More lies as we had every season up to 2015/16. Selling nearly 11,000 in 2014/2015 https://www.rovers.co.uk/siteassets/pdfs/fans-forum-minutes/13th-october-2014.pdf Either he is lying or the club was massaging figures previously, I.e perhaps counting freebies as sales? Who knows, all very strange regardless.

Some scouting network this!

Would we hell! We were 14 points adrift!

What about the GK coach?

Feeney and Williams, get it right.

You keep saying this yet won’t prove any evidence. We’ve paid 5 million already as a downpayment, shown in last years accounts. In all likelihood the rest will follow in instalments. So it will be 7 million, as confirmed by Mowbray too.

No scouts involved with Adam. He rang Mowbray himself...

Thread on Adam on the Stoke board. Quality player, legs gone is the jist: http://oatcakefanzine.proboards.com/thread/287865/charlie-adam-departs?page=1

A lot of it is ‘basics’, improvement comes from working on your weaknesses over and over.

Well none of us know about any coach behind the scenes. But it is a fair summation to say Raya’s all round game hasn’t improved. The goalkeeping coach is a specific position and spends a lot of 1 to 1 time with his GK. Perhaps there’s a correlation, perhaps not, but if I was TM I’d certainly be looking at to why Raya stagnated.

You know what’s more annoying than overreacting, hysterical meltdowns? Posters banging on about other posters’ overreacting, hysterical meltdowns.

We played Hibs, Liverpool and Everton, no?
