From personal experience I can also recommend Swansea away. Stay in Mumbles, plenty of bars, restaurants & the Gower is amazing. The Swansea stadium is great, plenty of seats, parking next to the ground.

Some nonsense from me in the LT should you fancy…

The Summer Transfer Window (Press Submit)

Easier to budget for a short-term contract. -
I think he takes his orders from Pune/Suhail & carries them out accordingly within what I suspect are fairly tight constraints. e.g. I have heard tale that any prospective purchase of £5k or more needed sign off from India so I understand he doesn’t have that much of substance upon which he can unilaterally decide, certainly not like you would expect of a CEO of a “more traditionally run” business. Now, whether he pushes back robustly to his bosses to challenge their constraints or just goes along with what they demand is a different argument. The £300k salary & associated benefits is quite the lever to ensuring compliant behaviour IMO. edit: for clarity - I should also add, if Waggott were removed, I firmly believe our position would remain largely unchanged as the successor would be recruited to follow orders similarly hence that observation 🤷♂️

We signed Santa Cruz’s younger brother once…so there is a precedent for this sort of nefarious activity 😁 -
Spot on…no Suhail, no point. Waggott is & always has been Venky’s bullet-proof vest. He’s carried out his instructions from Pune admirably. Our issue is with the owners & Suhail is their eyes & ears.

If the income wasn’t allowed, it would make selling academy products like eg Cole Palmer irrelevant so that’s why I believe income is allowed, expenses are deducted 👍 -

Youth development costs are removed from FFP calculations but this is income…? 🤔 -
Thanks Mike - I was meaning more about the demographics, especially age & gender. I suspect the membership of WATR & BRFCS are quite similar but I thought you’d uncovered a way of demonstrating it 😉I’ve seen this “WATR are more representative” line peddled a few times. interestingly, if you were a polling company, to get a statistically significant sample size of Rovers fans to a confidence level of 95% you wouldn’t need to poll that many people. If you assume a home crowd of 15,000, then a poll of just 375 would give you that (with a 5% margin of error). I would therefore argue that with over a thousand active forum accounts, BRFCS is actually quite representative. Although I do accept that folks who sign up to the Forum are motivated supporters as opposed to being randomly selected. But the same observation can be made of WATR.

Measured how Mike? Genuine question BTW.

@Miller11 Duncan - how many paid up members does WATR have, what is the trend ? If your mandate is dictated only by extant members (understandably in fairness), but membership isn’t growing significantly/quickly - (especially in current circumstances) perhaps the only way to grow your membership *is* to change your stance? This is akin to a political party - do you exist to serve only your current members or do you endorse/adopt policies that are more popular - albeit not with your current membership? 🤷♂️
