Yep, what a festival that was, the whole city dressed up.

Absolutely spot on.

There is some validity within this but Matty Blue’s subsequent post is the bigger picture and nail on head evidence as to our club’s sad demise.

Apologies, somehow ended up in wrong thread

Was travelling and so probably missed it, no surprise but very disappointing. If they don’t listen about ST pricing, and take a leaf from other local club initiatives, I really fear they are going to have a real problem for next season. I love the club and so really hope that my fear is misguided and that numbers can be maintained or even increased, we need to ensure the club remains for future generations.

Glen, did you ever get your subsequent meet with Swag ?

You can argue this and there is some truth and correlation with our core 80’s support but the game has moved on and virtually all clubs, in the modern era, appear to have significantly increased average crowds. Given that we won the EPL and spent many years in the top flight and that we were well on our way to being a club with national support, our decline has been pretty spectacular.

Are you being serious ! Our season ticket sales, the bedrock of support are awful and reducing in comparison to all around, Accrington, Knob End, Notlob, Dingles. All face the same macro-economic / deprivation demographics but are increasing numbers, whilst Swag continues to try and rinse the few and loyal fans that remain. Absolutely criminal and killing our club.

Don’t let these transient chancers, with no emotional attachment to our club, take it away from us.

Here is what you could have won as Jim Bowen would say.

Not doing too bad to date, ST holders down to 8,500 and the morgue like atmosphere that pervades Ewood. They are well on their way to killing us all off 🙈

My son has asked me today, why I inflicted this club on him. I could only say sorry 🤷‍♂️

Nor me but many would for £100k a year, not to be sniffed at.

And save the club £200k at the same time

I have to agree, it all seems very odd. Whilst I can see O’Brien being happy to come and play competitive championship football, I just don’t see any circumstances under which he would have agreed to a permanent arrangement as he is probably only six months into a 3 / 4 year contract at Forest. He has the luxury of seeing the season out and then taking decisions then, on a no risk / just upside basis

I want to see those accountable, hung, drawn and quartered if this goes tits up

Those twats in Preston are making us sweat

Although the stated transfer window priority, it looks like we have failed in bringing in the much needed striker. Total shit show

Nice to see you posting again Parson, your considered thoughts and insight are much missed.

Let’s hope your source is right and the delay is that they somehow managed to get a striker and want to announce together. It’s the hope that kills you

It is death by a thousand cuts and we are on about 975, it’s been murder since they darkened the door.

My concern isn’t Mercer’s post but the silence from Rovers

I agree, no one could blame him.

Well, they have signed plenty for the non- recruitment team 🙈

Swag better get the coffee pot on and diary out, think there might be 8,500 people wanting a meeting
