There are more ways to increase revenue than simply sell tickets. The "Ewood experience" has been the subject of many posts over the years and there are many aspects to that. Not pissing off your own fans for a start. Glen Mullen has made several posts abut sponsorship opportunities that the Club hasn't followed up. But, in the end, you have to admit that clubs with similar attendances to us have made it to the big league.

And would the squad be stronger or weaker than last season?

assuming they have any.....

Well I tend to copy ideas that work. You?

Almost can't be bothered but NO------as I said, like Burnley and Brentford did.

How much Venkys are prepared to spend is irrelevant then? There is no impediment to them keeping the stadium up to scratch but they neglect it so why conclude that its just FFP that prevents them spending money on improving the squad? See the connection?

Which stops them painting the stadium and fixing the rust? Poor old Venkys! They were set to finance us back to the Premier League but FFP arrived and any ambition had to stop! Brentford, Burnley both made it there without infringing FFP.

Failure it is then!!

As usual, concern that we've lost 12 players but signed 4 is the equivalent of "losing your head"! Isn't it the Club that's" short-sighted"? It quite likely that we'll finish mid-table as usual but that will equate to failure to build on last season and be a real let-down given the hopes that last season (up to January) created.

You're right, Club can't win---as 3 games in a row testify. Haven't scored in 3 games either. No wonder fans are not happy. Not the window we hoped for but the one we invariably get.

Something wrong with Buckley this season. Anyone heard anything?

Dack?

Isn't this the whole point? Nobodys worried as long as we get the players in!!

Buckley not the same form the season so far eh? Those 3 early wins will come in handy for the relegation battle though!

Remember we were 2nd in January!

Just saying you can't make much of the table on so few results!

Coventry fans say 1.5M and are hopping mad about it! They also claim we came in earlier with a bigger offer and Coventry rejected it!

We'll be selling Brereton though?

Well that's true! It is easy to forget keepers and he was the best.

Well it doesn't prove anything. its indicative though. We could be 23rd in the League based on the last 2 results! Bit early for those sorts of conclusions. Anyway, they didn't have Clarke then did they?!!!

I know which one Boro went for!!

Boosterism!! I'm an English football fan not an American evangelist!

Yes --if we wish hard enough we'll get what we want. Inflation will come down and we'll go up!

Boro signed Matt Clarke for the same, who did best?

I thought that was implicit in the whole set-up-----becoming a sustainable Premier League club and all that. We're certainly not going to buy our way up are we?
