Chapman starts for Boro. Quietly hoping he has a shocker ?

Looks like Chapman will be starting for Boro tonight according to Pulis.

I thought that Lithuanian lad might have been involved... To say there was supposedly a number of big clubs after him I'm surprised there has been nothing official from the club? Any idea?

Although today is classed as 'Deadline Day', surely everyone is aware it's not really - hence why only 3 permanent transfers have been completed today in the EFL. 30th August is deadline day, if we are where we are now on the 30th August, then it is time to panic and ask WTF has gone on! In Tony We (or I) Trust

Jim White on Talksport has just said that Freeman is having a medical at Rovers! Fernandes at QPR could look very, very daft if we pull this off!!

I'll be extremely surprised if we got Freeman today after the QPR chairman saying he's not for sale on Twitter last night!

Tony Mowbray had a farm, E I E I O With a Wily Wily here, a Wily Wily there, here a Wily, there a Wily, everywhere a Wily Wily. Hope he signs!

They're only jealous ?

I know he had the banner up last season but thought it had changed recently. I'm probably wrong!

I'm sure that wasn't there before?!

Straight from the horses mouth there pretty much then! What a bloody signing. Well in Sir Tony.

I voted no, 2 of my Burnley supporting mates have seen via Facebook that I voted no and then voted yes. Stupid idea, they should just get shut.

Mowbray said he has other business interests outside of football. I know he's heavily involved with Gary Flitcrofts company, Flitcraft, so I'd imagine that may be a factor as to why he's chose to leave.

Ah, I may be wrong then.. apologies if so!

Nothing.. That's a wrap. Highlights on radio tomorrow... I probably missed a few points!

Didn't sound promising when asked about Armstrong. Spoke of his goalscoring record not being great in championship. Back to Chapman, Middlesbrough would be open to Chapman coming to Rovers if the numbers are right.

David Dunn has left the club. Mowbray wanted him to sta,y asked him to go away and think about it but no luck.

Chapman wants to come back to Rovers. Mowbray says he still feels he's more of an impact off the bench player at present. Didn't give anything else away.

Wi-Fi connectivity to be massively improved in the ground.

Season tickets.. already in excess of last season's sales with 6/7 weeks to go before start of season and transfer activity to go. 16% are NEW customers (not returning) Early bird deadline won't be extended. New season tickets sent out last week of July or first week in August due to the new turnstile system. New cards will last for 3 years at least.

Stadium maintenance... Waggot says they need to conform to health and safety regs, agrees things need to be looked at and they'll be addressed and prioritised. Let club know if there are particular areas that need immediate work. Big investment and says In honesty it is probably a 10 year plan before full maintenance is complete, and by that time they'll need to start again. Final decision on DE closure was Waggots. Says it makes complete commercial sense due to high away followings this season. Club will help make corner of JW lower a designated singing section, currently monitoring the numbers going in.

New initiatives.. Big investment on new turnstile system, anyone on kid ticket that's an adult will be stopped. Data capturing etc is better. Blues bar is being revamped and will be ready for start of season. Every pitch the club owns has been upgraded. Hoping to get multi-dispensers for half time pints also hoping to install contactless asap. Back to shirts, hoping for multiple sponsors before the season starts.

New kits... Can't say who new sponsor is yet, hopefully announcement in next 2 weeks. Hoping home shirt will be available 2nd week in July, want it on sale for Liverpool game. Can't announce colour of away shirt.

Programmes will be available next season but how they are ordered and sold is to be reviewed. Maybe a membership scheme.
