Be a hell of a sign for “taking responsibility” towards the club though?

Not really, it’s purely window-dressing; they’ve already put the money in, that’s the evidence that pays the bills. If they started charging interest on it then I’d be concerned. 

Whether the cash has gone into the club as loans or share capital, realistically, they are never going to see it again unless we somehow qualify for the Champions League 5 years in a row…🤷‍♂️

Owners write debt off?

 

For absolute clarity, the vast majority of the club debt is owed interest-free to Venky group companies, so the act of writing it off would purely be window-dressing and would have no material impact on the P&L (& by extension FFP).

I’ve just had an advert on here for an ad blocker. Seriously. 
My brain has just collapsed into a singularity just thinking about that one. 

Brilliant…👌🏻

Wisdom of the crowds type thing…what do we predict for the following…?

1. Will Steve Waggott still be at Rovers on 1/7/22 ? If no, date of departure.

2. Will Tony Mowbray still be manager on 1/2/22 ? If no, date of departure.

3. Rovers Player of the Season 21/22 ?

4. Where will Rovers finish the season ?

5. Who will be championship winners ? 

Reply to this with your predictions & we’ll assess the consensus…👍🏻

If you don't mind me asking, would you normally have got an XL or a L? 

It wasn't clear on the website at launch that sizing was different, can see them getting a few return requests

Personally I prefer the adverts as they are now, rather than a small monthly fee. It's not that I can't afford it but I enjoy new posters coming on here for a short time like ffan, that nobbender bloke, longsiders and others from other clubs. People like that and Rovers fans who read but don't post are not likely to pay and therefore we miss out on contribution and lose members of BRFCS.

Keep it as it is for me.

It will always be free whilst I have a say…but it can’t be free AND ad-free that’s the crux 👍🏻

I believe the 92 club feature stopped working during one of the recent forum upgrades. I think @StubbsUK mentioned in the relaunch thread that it will hopefully return in the future though. 

It’s definitely on our backlog…technology has moved on so it would be great to have this in a “sexier” format…👍🏻

Sorry. It's not to demean anyone's work, and I know the site costs to run, etc etc. But I'm neither going to pay for a forum I contribute to, nor put up with invasive ads.
 

If I can be equally honest in return…how can we monetise your contributions so that we can renew the licence & pay the hosting company ?

Rovers TV streaming for 4.99 Leeds TV 2.99.  Looks like an early start for the Waggott Tax

don’t know where the £2.99 is coming from…

So I can pay 2.99 Euros as a Leeds fan or 4.99 GBP as a Rovers fan...?

Tough one 🤣

It’s £4.99 at Leeds…

Morning Mods.

Is it just me or have the adverts now taken over the bulk of the site? They're far more prominent than the threads and pages themselves.

I fully understand the need to fund the site and most accepted the switch to adverts, but this has gone beyond that, its difficult to read the site now.

I'm using Chrome on PC this morning.

Cheers

How the ads are presented is entirely down to Google, we have no control over that. And yes, that’s how we fund the site, so it’s a conundrum.

Behind the scenes a *LOT* of work is going on (& it will become abundantly clear quite soon…😉) but right now that is on our list to consider options & alternatives…including but not only an ad-free option for a small monthly subscription.

I was only young at the time of the City game, but I’m sure one team had forgotten their away kit one time and we had to wear our away kit at home? Might not have been that game, mind…

It wasn’t, City wore Sky Blue. 👍🏻
 

Palace once wore an all red Rovers away kit at Ewood because of a kit cock up. A photo of that game became the cover of the programme as it showcased 2 Rovers kits…!

The City game intrigues me. I wonder if our home kit in the wash, no other reason seems acceptable.

I suppose we are in our away strip v Leeds as it's a new release .... but so is our home strip just a few days earlier.

We wear home at Bradford and away at Ewood. Arse about face, which kind or suits the present circus.

Leeds haven’t launched their away kit yet might be the actual reason…

This is the back of the new keeper shirt and the alignment of the numbers is why I won't get shirts printed by the club as they don't seem to understand how to do it properly. It's not the first time I noticed it on our shirts either.

That’s clearly a last minute change to a shirt with 1 already on it…
