23/24 kit; is a new sponsor needed?
arbitro replied to alex l's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Thanks John. My concern/confusion is that many of the clubs with Macron kit have them for sale but it always seems to be us that suffer from such events as floods or ships stuck in the Suez Canal. -
The number of named substitutes has increased from seven to nine from which give can be used during three windows of the game not included half time changes. https://www.rovers.co.uk/news/2023/june/29/efl-statement--substitutes/

Thanks for letting me know windy. Edit: I clicked the link and delivery isn't expected until late July 😂😂 -
23/24 kit; is a new sponsor needed?
arbitro replied to alex l's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
I was told on Monday that the delay is because there were floods in Italy where they are made. It's a bit of a circuitous route to send them to the far East and down the Suez Canal for something made in Italy. Unless of course we are being fee trips once again 😂 -

Accrington's kit is bespoke with images of Nori bricks on it. If they have stock why haven't we? That's the simple question being asked. -

I was in the shop on Monday and was told it was due next week. I asked which day and they didn't know and said the reason for the delay and uncertainty was because of some floods in Italy (last year it was a problem in the Suez Canal that caused the problem). If you check clubs whose kit supplier is Macron you will find plenty on sale already. So to answer your question they have none right now. You can pre order training kit (adults sizes only though) but they aren't sure when any of that will be here. -

Accrington kits are available to buy now from their new kit supplier Macron (we haven't received any stock yet) and are considerably cheaper than ours. In the design they have incorporated the Nori brick. https://www.accringtonstanley.co.uk/news/2023/june/pride-and-passion-reds-and-macron-launch-new-bespoke-2023-24-home-kit/ -
Who knows. With schools being off I always think games like this are a good opportunity to take kids to their first matches and personally would have made it free admission for under 16's with adult supervision. And you never know, there might be a surge in season ticket sales if they enjoy it 😂😂.

Walsall match confirmed for Tuesday 8th August with £10 tickets for adults, £5 concessions and free for under 5's. https://www.rovers.co.uk/news/2023/june/29/walsall-fixture-confirmed/

I've seen the latter two in the under 18's and was impressed with them. The first thing that struck me was physique but it was soon apparent they can play too. They both seemed to like the physical side of the game but were comfortable in possession when they had to be. I know Tomasson has only been here a year but one of his strengths for me is giving young players a chance. It must be really good for any young prospects to know that the first team manager will give you a chance to impress whilst training with seasoned professionals if you show up well.

We have drawn Walsall at home.

The draw for the first round of the Carabao Cup is live on Sky Sports News at 2.30. We are ball number four. Hopefully a home game or an away match not too far away. https://www.rovers.co.uk/news/2023/june/22/rovers-to-be-ball-number-four-/

On the face of it Sigurdsson appears to be another good signing. Generally Scandinavian players have a really good work ethic and are easy to manage. Hopefully he has some real ability to go with that and we could well have a gem.

Not Premier League but fan power has won this little battle. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/65962426

Sam Szmodics-Your thoughts?

I hope he shapes up better on the pitch. 😂😂 -
The old 'mutual consent' reason. In other words we'll pay you to keep your gob shut.

I know I shouldn't be surprised at anything in football after 60+ years but that is stunning news. Just what do these owners want (I'm including the Bournemouth one too) when their appointed manager achieves their objective. Football really is like no other business and stupid decisions like today's confirm this.

There are only three scheduled games for clubs in October and November but seven in December. There are International breaks in these months plus another in September with a Winter break scheduled for January when there are only two league matches (plus FA Cup) arranged.

We did but lots of teams who were in similar positions reported an increase. As the report says many clubs came out of Covid into a stronger position primarily because fans were eager to get back to watching football and had some spare cash. We simply didn't. I recall vividly some dialogue I and several others had about refunds for the aborted season. These were dismissed out of hand by Waggott who felt that an iPlayer subscription would provide an adequate alternative. Lots of clubs reduced the price of season tickets for the following season accordingly and reaped the benefits. Again we didn't and that falls straight into the lap of Waggott.

From the latest report from Deloitte. https://news.sky.com/story/premier-league-leads-european-financial-dominance-but-championship-clubs-living-beyond-their-means-12902315 And an extract from the article. "Following the lifting of COVID-19 restrictions, fans' pent-up demand gave rise to record matchday and commercial revenues across Europe.

Why bring Wigan in as an example, why didn't you use Bolton? Personally I can't forget how they have damaged our club, the infrastructure but more importantly Jack's legacy. I won't forgive them for the twelve years of mismanagement when they bought the best run club in the country so I can't or, more importantly will not 'move on' like you advise. I will never be beholden to them for, as you put it keeping us afloat.
