  1. Coventry have broken their record and sold over 12.5k It feels there’s new waves of optimism and energy around lots of fanbases that hasn’t happened here or more likely the club haven’t done enough to create it
  2. Horrible sponsor aside (and it is disgusting) there are light ‘splashes’ on the blue in the second pic I wonder if it’s intentional or just a mark on the kit in the photo
  3. He’s a great championship right back, maybe less suited to the wing back role but we look far far better with him there than the likes of JRC Lots of people will now say they aren’t bothered that he’s leaving but it’s now an issue where there was none before, there’s no up side to it
  4. For what it’s worth Burnley tweeted someone tonight to say they’ve sold 13,500 compared to 13,000 last season
  5. I never understood why they suddenly stopped doing free under 8 tickets in the family stand, they had been around as long as I could remember then suddenly £60
  6. I think a lot of Burnley’s success May hinge on what City players he gets offered and the impact that they have. We’ve had a few from the likes of City, Chelsea and Liverpool on Loan with varying degrees of success Harvey Elliott - success Tosin - success Harwood Bellis - ok Kasey Palmer - failed Jack Byrne - failed Karim Rekic? - failed Clarkson - failed
  7. I’d cash in on Brereton, lovely lad and was a joy to watch him succeed last season but I’m not convinced he will replicate that year on year If we can get £20m and IF JDT gets that cash I think it’s time to sell
  8. He already has shone, picked up from the scrap heap, a handful of goals and assists in each of the 2 seasons since and just earned a call up to the England Under 20’s where he bagged a goal in his second appearance Much to learn particularly around end product but we’ve seen him put in stand out man of the match performances in games he hasn’t assisted or scored by giving the defence a torrid time
  9. £3m for Dolan? He’s worth more to us than that, £3m doesn’t buy you much as a replacement
  10. For anyone else it effects, if ‘your’ seat has now gone they will be offering an alternative rather than kicking out the new tenants. They’ve added a caveat to the original article (presumably because they didn’t account for that scenario) “*If your current seat is now unavailable, please contact the Ticket Office who will offer you an alternative seat at the loyalty price.”
  11. I should feel bad….but I won’t. We didn’t feel that renewing was right, held off and then the club delivered with an exciting appointment and extended the deal, now I feel I’d like to renew. Sure someone may ‘lose’ a seat they’ve never sat in but they are going to get £30 back in their pocket
  12. They are pretty cushy seats so I think they got snapped up as soon as they were released on Monday
  13. Finally - what took them so long? https://www.rovers.co.uk/news/2022/june/17/season-ticket-loyalty-scheme-extended/ the article mentions the system being updated and there is reference to ‘Timelapse issues’ but not sure where we stand as our seats got taken since they were released, I wonder if this means we have a window to steal them back Part of the wording sounds like any bought this week will be null and void and need to buy again
  14. The decision to appoint Broughton could be his saving grace and a master stroke if this goes well. Reading between the lines we weren’t close to a head coach appointment and it was Broughton that got it done.
  15. Now would be the perfect time to announce a reduction along with an open training session at Ewood / family day in the first week of school holidays and blitz it with promo material The iron is hot, time to strike
  16. Yeah he’s not worth spending too much energy on, full of self importance and very elitist Let’s move on
  17. 30 second clip of him meeting the squad, as Gally approaches with a big smile JDT says ‘good to see a striker’ I need to stop getting carried away here!
  18. I am a bit myself but like I said one of my main drivers to renew was to keep my seat, as that’s gone now I ain’t paying more for a worse seat
  19. We’ll definitely see a push at some point today and it’s the most obvious thing in the world to at least freeze prices But we’ll see
  20. Got to be honest - had this appointment been made Friday I’d likely have approved As it is though the deadline passed and my old seats have gone Win some, lose some
  21. Seems a (nearly) universally well received appointment, we’ve shown a little bit of creativity at the very least and not appointed a stale journeyman or an agents pet project Really hope it works out for us all and you feel it has the potential to
  22. Welcome aboard Jon https://www.rovers.co.uk/news/2022/june/14/velkommen-jon-/ He’s also brought in an assistant manager and performance director
  23. Whilst this was an obviously flippant post earlier the more I think about it I’m pissed off. You can have all the slogans like “one of our own” all you like, there is no heart at the Centre of this club, there’s no pride in what was built and what remains. We need change, at minimum we need someone like Duncan to have a seat at the table and someone around that table who can do more than “take it away and look into it”
  24. In fairness the club are doing all they can. I just followed a bus up Livesey branch road, the back of it covered in an advert for ‘Our Rovers’ Season Tickets I mean sure it was for 2019 / 2020 season tickets with those prices advertised but we can’t expect them to put the effort in every single year…
