What about Chorley and Bamber Bridge lads?

Yeah that's deifintely Kidder Street

Few lads I know from the Darwen End have relocated to the Blackburn End.

94/95 only one I can remember...

Nicely sums up the shambolic pre seasons of the Venky era...

We at 10? Thought it was 9k? Only a few hundred up from the third division.

More and more of our fans have moved away from the BB1/2/3 etc area in recent years and midweek matches are always a mad rush for such folk. As well as many local residents as Hasta pointed out on another thread. I'd expect midweek attendances to fall off a cliff, especially when it becomes the norm. Very shortsighted of the 'EFL', but what else can you expect from that shambolic organisation...

It’s a thread about the kit, people are giving their opinion on the kit. We might as well lock all non player related threads then....

Amazing considering how popular the red and black halved kit was, that we've never released a halved away shirt since.

Exactly! As do lots of others by the looks of it, I noticed on the main forum page that we had the most online ever t'other week - 1,625 people!

Just Advised Badly ?

Around a 1,000 tickets sold so far, not bad for a hell of a trip.

Of course he is, I'm not his dad. But 'are you ever positive' to a bloke that obviously bleeds blue and white is just snidey, and after a rise that will take us off on another positive/negative tangent for 3 pages.

Is this what's it's getting to? Noticed he's been getting quite a bit of grief recently. JH has been one of the best posters to come to this board for years, his passion for Rovers shines through on every post he makes, posts he makes eloquently without ever getitng personal. (I'll climb out of his arse now, but annoyed me that!)

Seen a few previews tipping us as 'dark horses'. I'd be delighted for a Milwall-esque season. Was their squad, even with how weak ours looks outside the starting XI any better than ours? Lets hope this 'momentum' thing does its trick and we avoid injuries for once...

End of the day, £250 or £350 we won't be selling 12,000+ season tickets to be treading water in the bottom half of the Championship - without the owners helping build a competitve squad, Waggott will just fulfill his role - to squeeze the trusty 8/9000 for £350+. Now if we somehow end up having a good season, say lose in the play-offs and next summer the club spends the cash on players and markets STs at £250 with some kind of 'Roar us to the Premier League' campaign then I could see a big spike in sales. (Yeah, yeah what have I been smoking etc!) We have a limited fanbase who aren't as daft as the club thinks they are, the floating support will just not come out in big numbers for mid table second tier football after signing a couple of young lads and a loanee, they will respond to a bit of ambition on the pitch however - as an example, Forest have just sold record amounts of second tier STs.

The yellow shirt shows exactly why fans aren’t involved. That’s an ‘Umbro Generic Kit #17’ if ever I saw one. As a non marquee club you’ll get what you’re given and charged through the nose for the pleasure. Dick Turpin (etc.)

Aye, the Man Utd hierarchy would have been crying into their networking breakfasts hearing Mourinho’s comments...

Indeed meadows, Chelsea churn out and hoard dozens upon dozens of players for up to a decade for no discernible reason that I can see - as many of them will never make the grade at that level. Who was the last Chelsea academy player to become a regular - John Terry?

West Ham have a massive fan base from London into Essex, Kent and other parts of the Home Counties, so it doesn’t surprise me one bit they can flog huge number of season tickets. For us, we just don’t have the hinterland, shoehorned into a highly competitive area, we will not even sell five figures worth with STs heading towards £400 for the pleasure of watching Championship also rans. Hopefully it will bring Waggott down to earth and give him a better understanding of the limitations of our fan base, after he presumably thought everything he touched turned to gold in his first 12 months here.

Agreed, Waggott is here for one reason only, so it’s probably the wrong choice of words to call it a ‘gamble’, but I imagine he was expecting to sell more than just a few hundred extra.

So in reality we are just a few hundred up from where we were after Christmas last season. A 17% hike in price across the board was always a gamble and it looks like it hasn’t come off...

“I’m trying to loosen the burden on Bradley Dack, Danny Graham, Dominic Samuel, those sort of players. They need some help and after losing Adam Armstrong, Jack Payne, Harry Chapman, we have really lost a lot of attacking minding players," Tony told iFollow Rovers.
