Without doubt. The prices are thoughtless but Waggott just hasn't read the room with regard to the depth of feeling.

Reading many of the posts on here and speaking to people I don't think the prices are the issue for many. There is severe disenchantment amongst many fans and the latest farce in January will have been the tipping point for more of them.

The young lad, like many other Rovers fans won't know anything about the shambles we have become. The players are role models to him and his main enjoyment in life is watching Rovers. Of course nobody can stop him going and your picket line comment is extreme. I see your post has been liked by a couple who have openly said don't buy season tickets. One actually said anyone who does is part of the problem.

I don't know if it's linked to the price hike or I might be giving Swag too much credit but next season there is likely to be a huge hole in the income from away fans at Ewood. With the likes of Leeds, Burnley, Sheffield United and Sunderland potentially not being in the Championship that could represent several hundred thousand pounds in revenue that has to be clawed back somehow

We have to start the game well and not concede any early goals like we have done in the last three away matches. In each of these the home crowd and players were visibly lifted whilst we were almost shell shocked. Ideally a clean sheet for starters and try to nick one for us. A passionate, partisan crowd need to be silenced. It's a big test for Ismael and the players after the no shows at Derby, Stoke and at home to Cardiff when you could see confidence visibly disappearing from some players.I Hopefully the drive home will be better than it has on most of the long distance away matches this season.

I agree. The triumvirate of Waggott, Gestede and Pasha are the human shields for the Punekars and have as much blood on their hands as them. They are far more accessible and easier to discredit simply because they are in this country.

I have read through the announcement several times and nowhere does it give prices for the Directors Box.

£77 more than I paid last season for me and my granddaughter. Absolute madness once again from these faceless people.

I was at Fleetwood on Saturday against Tranmere where Garrett was named on the bench. Seeing him coming through the ranks at Rovers I always thought he was going to make it for us. He didn't get on which was disappointing as I would have liked to see him play but overriding that was the fact that Tranmere weren't very good at all. I just worry what the future holds for him.

Litherland was absent for a couple of under 21 games so I wondered if he was injured. Personally I think he is the best prospect right now and he can hopefully continue his development and progress next season. I have seen him go on those runs several times and it's refreshing to see. Compare that to the mundane, sideways passing from centre halves that is so prevalent in the modern game.

I think this is a really good move for him. The under 21's only have three matches left whereas Curzon have nine left not including potential playoffs. On the downside as our seniors plummet I would have liked to have seen him getting an appearance or two when it becomes mathematically impossible for us to reach the Championship playoffs.

I put this in the Aynsley Pears thread As he features prominently and there wasn't an appropriate one. This is what our club means to fans and when I see some calling for an all out boycott they should think about Luke and what Rovers mean to him. Well done Rovers for making Luke's dreams a reality.

I actually refereed this match. I got a call from John Newsham who was the stadium manager on the Friday before asking me to referee it but he swore me to secrecy in case the results went against us. When we were on the pitch pre match the photographers were swarming around Kenny Dalglish so he came up to me and said "get this game started so I can get rid of these f****** ". He actually injured a hamstring in the game and had to have treatment from the them physio Steve Foster. We were given tickets to the post match celebrations in one of the lounges and all my family came along too. The players were in joyous mood probably helped by non stop drinking from the day before. I had a spare ticket and when we were going in David Batty was arguing with the doormen who wouldn't let him in. He was losing his head so I gave him the spare ticket to get in. The celebrations went on long into the night and no doubt carried on for a few days after that.

The Fans Forum has been out back a couple of times. I think the WATR meeting was convened at short notice given the disenchantment from the last few weeks. Hopefully we will find something out soon.

I deliberately avoided anything Rovers related last night as I really didn't want to be irrational but the anger hasn't really subsided this morning. Losing is part of football and sometimes in defeat you have to hold your hands up and say you lost to a better team but in our case the last three games we have lost to poor and, on paper inferior teams It's clear that too many players are lacking confidence and making wrong decisions for which we are being punished. There are likely many reasons for this loss of confidence but in truth our form has been poor for a few months now but I think, players being what they are they will blame the upheaval of losing a manager who they liked. But this rot actually started under Eustace. The goals we have been conceding of late are incredibly poor and all have been avoidable and we simply haven't offered enough of a threat at the other end. Poor final balls especially crosses have been frustrating but on some of them the movement inside the penalty area is awful. But, as many have alluded to the problems at our club run much, much deeper and in many respects the on field frustrations are miniscule in the bigger picture. We will never move forward under these people and stagnation is the best we can hope for. We will more than likely have a huge turnover of playing staff in the summer - players come and go but the real changes we would all like is in the ownership and at board level. Sadly for us neither will happen.

I heard his name mentioned as released along with Jackson Shorrocks.

Leeds are falling apart..........again.

Connor O'Riordan has scored again for Crewe today. Interestingly he was among the Rovers fans at Stoke on Wednesday.

I'm pretty sure I'd seen that Stephen Edmondson has been released. Strange.

This has to be one of the strangest match sponsors ever. 😂

Is he persisting with the back 3/5?

Next Saturday at 10.30 am on ITV4 Rovers v Fulham from 84-85 is featured.

That has been the real surprise to me of Ismael's three games as manager. We simply haven't pressed high up the pitch which is something we did well under Tomasson and Eustace. Teams are finding us too easy to play against.

Only four substitutes named? Very odd given how many players we have.

During the first half at Stoke I said to my granddaughter it looked like Brittain was limping slightly.
