Shouldn't be an issue this. Club should realise how important Eustace is to the Club and reward him accordingly. Oh and give him enough transfer money to get us up.

Thousands already have as I said earlier.

2 soul-mates there, together missing the point completely!

That was my point. Hardly difficult to follow!

Come off it. We have lost thousands of fans since Venkys took over! They were true fans whatever you say. I never said anything about "changing" by the way---just giving up. I know you can take whatever Venkys dish out forever but always seeing a possible new are and always having it snatched from us can't continue. Lose Eusatace and many will leave---that's my prediction.

I wonder how many fans are thinking "if he goes I go"? Impossible to think we could get it right twice.

More typical of Rovers is finally getting round to the issue of expiring contracts and starting with Hedges!

With ten men as well!

It was, in the sense that we didn't get a scoring striker to replace Sammi. We got a few players but its short-term stuff isn't it? No planning for the longer-term just functioning from one season to the next.

We took it up to them at t'Turd? no brick wall there.

He should be.

I think we'll lose him. Its impossible to ignore what a great job he's doing here on scraps Some club will offer him more and Venkys won't match it, let alone top it.

As in Manu!

Yes bloody Arsene. Deliberate policy to ensure ref decisions went against us.

Excellent. Love him! Just wish he could shoot. But he's there in the box when things happen for us so he does play a role no-one else does.

That's a key position and we are only well catered for if they're all fit to play---which they never are!

Yes its a perverse thing with Venkys. When we are doing OK in the League they won't give us any money because we're doing OK without it. The idea that if they did spend we'd do even better and maybe get to the Promised Land seems to have eluded them

Best to look at it as 4 from 6 against Leeds and we don't have to play them again.

In context, Burnley were in Div 4 and only avoided the drop out of the Football League on the last day of the season. But, yes, this was a bad time for English football----violence, crumbling stadiums etc. But simply, I was just confirming that we did indeed have attendances as low as the 3 thousands.

Well that's true but in that period I wrote about we really were in the doldrums and I did wonder at the time what the point was and whether we would survive. Not till Jack came along did things change----bigly! and we all know how many Jack Walkers there are.

That's what we're paying Cantwell apparently.

1982-4---------2 seasons where we had attendances in the 3000's. Average attendance for both seasons was in the 7000's. There was a lowest attendance of 3587 in 1985-6 but average attendance was 5826! That was the nadir. Not till 1991-2 did our average attendance get into double figures--13288. From 1970-1991 we had only 6 seasons with average attendances over 10000. Stats curtesy of Parsons!!

great post.

That's true. We had gates of 3000 too didn't we? I felt happier supporting Rovers then than I do now. There literally were no funds then. Now this lot dissembled a Premier League team, filled it with rubbish and sank it. Never explained, never apologised, never learned anything.
