Another championship team, likely similar to us

As opposed to say, Phillips, who chose to leave, got 8 times his salary and then loaned out to plan more games for Plymouth than he was for us in the same league?

Taking supporting Rovers out of the mix here - because he doesn't - what about the last 12-months would make the 15 version of yourself think it wise to commit to Rovers in what is a very short career where key decisions have a huge impact?

We're imposing a £10 tax on buying in person so that staffing levels are not needed, but instead people are talking fans through how to avoid it over the phone? How long is that taking? Am I going insane?

The kids (U12) pricing is clearly a big success story and thats where they catch the bug. I'd argue they become a fan is a little later. When you crunch the cheapest EB prices based on an adult and 13 year old: Adult & 11-18 = £425 @ PNE Adult & 12-18 at Ewood = £405 @ Rovers £10 Waggott Tax Rovers are £10 cheaper than PNE for an adult and child. Come Phase 3, the prices for an adult and 13 year old at Rovers is £574, plus £10 Waggott Tax, making the final price £179 more expensive than Early Bird and £14 more expensive than PNE. Regardless of my issues on pricing - i.e. even with the £30 discount (£30 is not the difference between a really expensive ticket and a really affordable one), the bigger issues for me are: 1) If Rovers are happy to sell a seat for £349 in May, why is the price £100 more expensive in July? How many people do they expect to pay £100 extra in July for the same product? What makes it more expensive later? 2) If they couldn't release STs earlier due to not knowing what league we are in and submitting budgets for approval to Venkys - why didn't they extend the early bird to counter this? I guarantee there is record low uptake this year and for me that is down to: Nobody know what time the games will be on - not the clubs fault Everyone is thoroughly pissed off with Waggott, Venkys and Pasha - the clubs fault If they couldn't afford a ST in the 4-week period of early bird then they're being asked to pay £100+ more for the exact same product - the clubs fault

I heard it was John Park and Mark Venus coming back. But that sounds so ridiculous I can only assume its someone trolling me.

Just done the same and come here to moan. Am I living in a parallel universe here? Are people seriously suggesting that the ST prices where only ever £30 too high and now they're right where they need?

@sympatheticclaret @Tyrone Shoelaces @roverandout @Mercer echoing everyone else's posts. Some lovely words written about clearly some fantastic people. This thread has made me very proud of the BRFCS community this afternoon, thank you for sharing.

SOS @StubbsUK

I agree in principle, but once again I sit here saying: "who was responsible for moving to 'the model' - and why aren't they being held accountable if its determined it wasn't successful?"

I find this one of the most frustrating things about being involved within the fanbase. It all comes down to standards to me - we used to have such high ones, now they're frankly disturbingly low.

I know, I'm trying to ensure everyone has two-factor authentication on their accounts!

For absolute clarity on this - because its important - you all have the opportunity to have two-factor authentication on your BRFCS account meaning nobody can log in unless you approve it on another device i.e. your phone. If you don't know how to do this post in the 'ask a question' section. There's very little we (BRFCS) can do about people knowing your real name if you post on BRFCS a link your own twitter account which is in your real name.

For what its worth I think if Leonard is going to have any chance of being a success he needs 12 months at the top of L2, then 12 months at the top of L1 or the SPL. He's currently not strong enough, not effective enough and not used to the pressure he's being (wrongfully) put under here at Ewood.

Hello members. It's that time of the season where BRFCS makes no money because everyone is on holiday and we're not signing anyone, so ad views are way down! As a reminder, BRFCS offers a premium monthly membership (available here: https://brfcs.com/magazine/premium) which gives you the site without ads. It also means that @Herbie6590 doesn't worry that we're going to go bankrupt, as a not for profit we run it close to the wire! It also gives you exclusive giveaways, rumoured to include some classic pin badges and whatever other merch Ian creates this year! Cheers.

Currently on holiday - will reply in due course!

Yes — and it was a nonsense! Which is why we (BRFCS) have rejected further proposals.

Nobody knows because rather than official communication they opt to individually tell different people different stories in private.

Both of todays players i’m in favour for on the assumption they’re SQUAD players. We do not have options from the bench and desperately need some. Neither are good enough to be first team regulars and next time someone mentions Garrett as a viable option I’m going to burst into tears.

Agree on all of this. To follow it up, let’s assume the funds don’t come and Rovers spend 5-10M this summer after generating circa 40M in the last 12 months (increase from tv revenue = 4M, Wharton = 22M, Raya = 3.35M, Szmodics = ?). If that plays out, then either: Waggott told the Trust dud info under a MOU or Waggott was told one thing and the owners did another (again)

Quite a few people know the kits - I don’t - but I know users of this site have been involved in the design process with the club.

Are we suggesting Waggott has managed to make one persons responsibilities role into two roles?

I’ll take you word for it and retract my comment - maybe they just need better pictures!

Nice brochure - but can I say on record that the Shearer lounge described as “the most premium lounge” looks like a cafe in the town centre. They’ve probably been given fuck all to make it work and it shows.

I’ll bet Steve the cost of a season ticket he has less uptake this season than last. And with cheaper prices, the only reason for that can be he’s made the product worse.
