  1. Why on earth have they dropped Foakes?? Play your best ‘keeper!
  2. Surely you need the goal scoring stats… oh, and there’s no need to call people morons
  3. Am I reading this right? - we created 51 ‘big chances’ but we only scored 16 of them.
  4. The obvious ‘ in our favour’ decisions would have been Coventry’s goal being disallowed and the penalty against Burnley (which we’d still have needed to score) Buckley’s red card is probably overturned as well. However I’m ‘old school’ and believe decisions do even themselves out over the course of a season In any event, we’d probably have messed up the playoffs anyway!
  5. What is the process for becoming a scholar?
  6. Even she must have thought it was better when his mouth was shut 😁
  7. No one else will forget about Gale now 😁 It recognised Le Saux for me - did you spell Graeme correctly?
  8. I’ve looked at some figures and I think to ‘break even’ (revenue wise) vs 10,000 season tickets at £400 you’d need around 5,000 additional fans to join the membership scheme. I’ve assumed: no season ticket holders would transfer to the membership scheme as I don’t think you’d buy a season ticket if you thought you’d miss 9 matches an average number of matches attended by a member as 10 as I don’t think you’d join the scheme if you weren’t confident you’d attend at least the 8 to break even (and some would end up attending many more) I’ve said around 5,000 additional fans as you’d have to take into account the lost match day revenue (£7 per ticket per match) from members who ‘would have attended anyway’ I didn’t want to guess at this - but you’d think the club could run a database search to ascertain ‘average number of games attended by non season ticket holders’ Whether circa 5,000 members would be realistic, I don’t know - I just thought I’d throw the numbers ‘out there’ Of course there is the intangible benefit of more ‘support for the lads’ to consider as well (although I’m not sure SW does consider this).
  9. Something like?: Season ticket £299 Membership £50 + £18 per match attended Match tickets £25 Season ticket = better value than membership at 14 matches attended Membership = better value than match tickets at 8 matches attended
  10. Carly Simon - You’re So Vain
  11. His spell at Reading was poor.
  12. Name the 94/95 squad: https://www.rovers.co.uk/news/2023/may/14/quiz--representing-rovers-in-1994-95-/ i got 20/21 - so close…
  13. The Ramones - Baby I Love You
  14. Buddy Holly - Not Fade Away
  15. Black Eyed Peas - Where Is The Love?
  16. Your point about ‘dead games’ at the end of the season is a good one which I hadn’t even considered. I still think it’s a viable option to supplement season tickets, but maybe it needs a bit more thought (something we know the club won’t do!) Season tickets may well be the safest way, and I agree they’re priced too highly to encourage more sales - I just think there are gains to be had from something between a season ticket and buying tickets on a game by game basis.
  17. The membership might work even if the season tickets were the same price per match. If a member ended up attending all the matches, they’d have paid the extra £50 fee (the equivalent of £2.17 per match) They’d start spending less (in absolute terms) than a season ticket holder on missing their fourth match (assuming your £300 season ticket price) - perhaps there’s an argument that the ‘break even point’ should be set at a higher number of games. This could be done in one of two ways, a higher initial fee or a higher (as you suggested) price per ticket. With a bit of thinking and creativity (ha!) I think this could work - but I also agree with those who say lowering the price is the quickest and easiest option to implement. In my opinion, they should be looking at doing both.
  18. S’Express - Theme From S’Express
  19. Shania Twain - You’re Still The One
  20. I think so (with 3 years left on it)
  21. You were lucky to get 0…
  22. It’s doubtful but I guess he could have fallen out with JDT and then realised JDT was right.
