Why do you think he feels sorry for season ticket holders, Chaddy? You’re seeing the same as us, right? You’re watching all of the talented players be sold, their fees spent on running costs on salaries for the likes of Steve Waggott and their replacements being free transfers from lower divisions and unknown leagues?

Which is poor enough as it is - but do the bench as well! We won’t have a single viable option on the bench.

Dykes is absolute tosh. Neither him nor Gallagher will do remotely enough to save us this season.

I’d say so. This club doesn’t remotely resemble the one I started following. It’s fading away before our eyes and the majority of fans think the solution is to support the team or try and negotiate or work with the likes of Venkys and Steve Waggott to improve it. It’s frankly laughable at this point, I’m delighted they haven’t pressured me into a season ticket with their shite offer. Fuck Waggott, Fuck Venkys. The formers reputation and damage to clubs around the country should be a shame necklace around his neck. I hope the latter go bust and lose every single penny — I’d rather be shite and broke than support their version of this club.

Will only happen when we’re right on the cusp of relegation.

I think it’s fair and reasonable for a 29 year old and we should do right by someone that single handedly took it upon themselves to keep us in the league and now has an opportunity to play Premier League football

“Tell Twitter he’s brilliant or you’re not allowed to interview the manager!”

Nobody has a link yet Abbey, because they haven’t been released. The moment they are released they are consistently posted almost immediately on here by members that have attended. You’re barking up the wrong tree and making yourself look very silly - fans are giving up their own time to go to these meetings and ask the questions they feel are important. If you read the notes and don’t feel the important things are being asked, why don’t you go? I know K-Hod as a friend. He will have asked the questions that represented the feel of the board.

Hyam has 12 months left on his deal I think. On that basis, given his performances and public all out with fans, in normal circumstances you'd suggest he will probably be sold?

Its the negative spin to counter when Waggott announces him as "An impressive capture of League One Superstar"

A 37 year old centre back who’s only way to be effective is defend our 18 yard line. A forward released on a free transfer from League One Wigan. An unproven forward from the J League that’s had an ACL on a free. This is as bad as I had feared it could be. We could be on for a record low point relegation.

I can’t say I’ve read every post here, but X and Facebook is flooded with positivity over the signing.

Anyone else completely astonished by the positive reaction to a player who is on face value: Unproven at this level Has had a major knee injury Has a 1 in 3 goal return in the Japanese league (has anyone ever watched it?) Potentially coming in to replace Szmodics..?

Paul assures me this is an innocent fluke, he likes the product, bought one and shared it. Which is fine. For the record, BRFCS and other Rovers ‘influencers’ where offered the opportunity to share these in return for money. We opted not to because we don’t believe (happy to be proven wrong) they’re licensed by ASICS.

These are unlicensed and - assuming he was offered the same deal as BRFCS was - Paul is being paid to post this. Please don’t purchase it or post similar knock off gear here.

You’re up next quarter, Islander. I want you to go on behalf of BRFCS, in your spare time, ask a question on behalf of every member that submits one, record the meeting and have it posted on here first thing the following morning as well as being available for a Q&A throughout the day for everyone.

Telalovic was playing German sixth tier - as I said at the time, its completely incomparable.

It will 100% get better. There's people that are interested in buying the club - if Venkys begin to engage with that discussion. It's simply a case of are you young enough to outlive Venkys ownership and exactly how damaged the club will be by the time it happens.

He used to post on his forum as Nicko.

I've watched a bit of him on YouTube and X this morning - looks technically good and can finish, but i'm extremely aware in every video I've watched he would have been crunched by a 6 ft 3 defender by the time he got the chance in the Championship.

I’m astonished this is being celebrated.

Here’s my starting point: All fan groups and communities unite and hand deliver a ‘demand for resignation’ on behalf of their membership, alongside a signed petition from any fan that doesn’t feel like they’re represented by a fan group, to Steve Waggott at Ewood. Stand in reception and refuse to leave until he personally accepts the paperwork.

It won’t.

If this post gets a significant amount of thumbs up we can trial it. Previously we’ve tried “links, but no discussion” and it never quite works. Perhaps “links and player discussion only”.

No one of any real ITK-ness, it’s some of the stuff I get regularly and used to share but now don’t bother. I’d take it with a pinch of salt, I just found it interesting two people said similar things within a few hours.
