Jump before you're pushed springs to mind.....

I was just looking at the ticket allocation and noticed Hull City do not allow children under 2yrs old into the stadium? I've never seen that before? What is the thinking behind that? Anyway, just over 3000 tickets for Rovers fans, those would have sold out for sure if Sky hadn't decided at the last minute to televise the game..... Hull City 1 Rovers 1

Try reading between the lines for once Rev, don't take everything so literal, he's sending a message, its clearly passed you and one or two others by.......

He said The Riverside…..If you have to explain it…..

Thats been going on since 70's that I know of.

Biggest con on the internet at the moment NFT's, stay well clear, they have zero real life value. Crypto on the other hand has some real life benefits, we should create a thread on the other side of the forum to discuss.

Time for Butler to be dropped, he put Smith down on zero this morning, we need a change behind the stumps.

Jack and John Williams would never have allowed us to get into this scenario in the first place, as history quite clearly shows us. As Tony says above, succession planning is part of the role, Waggott probably doesn't have the tools in his locker to adopt such a plan. Do you think the teams around us are in the same strife as we could potentially find ourselves? I'd say not, which already gives them a significant advantage over us for the run in.

We could potentially lose 5 first team players shortly, can you ever remember a time when that happened under John Williams? I'll answer for you, no ney never, because John and Jack would never have allowed the place to be run by a third rate CEO and bargain basement owners.

Just a shout out to Derek Chisora who lost a points decision last night to Joseph Parker, the mans an absolute warrior. He's not the most gifted of boxers but in the heart stakes you'll struggle to find anyone better. He looked down and out many times last night but came back, he was out on his feet, but came back, just bravery beyond the belief. I hope he hangs up his gloves, I've been one of his critics over the years, but what a warrior, absolute box office. They both shared burgers in the dressing room after smashing each other for 12 rounds. https://twitter.com/DerekWarChisora?ref_src=twsrc^google|twcamp^serp|twgr^author Brilliant.

Before venkys destroyed us, under real footballing people, I had every confidence that winning cups and pots was always just around the corner domestically, so England winning the world cup was always the holly grail and I'd have agreed with you roverandout. Having followed the national side for many years, home and away, the country deserves a world cup, the fans deserve a world cup and I hope to see one won before I pop my clogs. But now, under this lot, I'm hoping promotion will see back of them, so its promotion for me.

Yesterdays game is traditionally one of the worst attended games of the season, with it being the last Saturday shopping day before Christmas, the attendance was very good in my opinion taking everything into consideration. Make no mistake, if we keep up the current run of form and give the fans something to get behind we'll see attendances increasing significantly week on week and the already superb away support will be off the scale. I'd expect us to sell out at Hull in normal times, but with Covid running wild across the country that could be severely impacted and maybe even cancelled.

I always refer comments like this back to "What would John Williams have done"? He first of all wouldn't have allowed the situation to get to this point, but now he'd be moving heaven and earth to get these players signed up, knowing not only would the promotion push go down the pan if they don't, but to replace them would cost more than to sell them. This contract debacle has been just one of the many blind spots for these owners throughout their time here, we've been dogged by unrest and lack of action or communication from the owners on contracts, Lambert left partly because of this, Berg took them to the high court. Whether its the playing side or backroom staff they don't agree with contracts and you can't run a football club like that. We have billionaire owners, sign the cheques and give Mowbray the best chance in a decade to get this club back into the Premiership, thats what Jack would have done.

I wouldn't rule that diagnosis out booth.

We sell Brereton in January and that’s the season gone. I doubt the squad can compete until May as it is, but you don’t sell your top goal scorer and go up.

They already are doing, gates are up. Will the owners show the ambition the fans deserve and support the club to get us back to where they found us? We are about to find out.

Absolutely gutted I missed it, been walking around the house kicking a dog I don’t have…… We’ll done to the players, the fans and most importantly to the manager who is making this happen. Onwards and upwards.

3-1 Rovers - A real Christmas cracker.

Several years ago the ECB decided that white ball cricket/world cup should be the focus, they brought in Bayliss and we are probably the best side in the world at the moment. We now need a reset the other way, red ball cricket must take priority, Broad and Anderson are about to be put out to pasture and we need a new generation, but with the money involved in white ball, its going to be a struggle. We are so far behind the Aussies here, we don't seem to have any fight in us, heads down, body language is awful when in the field, they're beaten before they start. Not that we didn't see any of this coming.......

Pathetic Butler, a test he’ll want to forget I’m sure, just not good enough, poor technique and worked out by Australia. This could be over today if Smith puts us back in under lights.

Here comes the customary collapse.....

Not hearing that currently o2g, but it wouldn't be a surprise if it happened. Hope the wife is ok 👍

We have taken the decision not to attend on Saturday, which is gutting as we had 10 ex-season ticket holders coming too, but its the sensible option. Not wanting to turn this into a Covid thread but, the omicron variant is running wild right now, January is going to be really tough for NHS and people across the country, we are not going to take the risk.

With these awful owners we've had to endure disaster after disaster with appointments across the club, be it Agnew, Singh and Shaw, or King rat, Coyle and Appleton, appalling appointments for a club like ours. Posters forget we had a bean counter in Cheston running the show for years, it was Mowbray that finally persuaded the club to bring in a bit of structure in Waggott, I'm sure it helps the manager and players behind the scenes, the fans have certainly seen discounted games under Waggott, we didn't see much of that before he arrived, but its not enough. Waggott is a third rate CEO, paid peanuts in CEO terms, he fits the Venky model perfectly and has done some good behind the scenes, but he's not good enough and until the owners leave we'll never attract anyone of a decent calibre as history continues to prove.

Joss Butler what are you ******* doing.
