Waggott has admitted quite clearly what it is. Stay up and sell one or two players at a profit. The first might be problematic the way we are going. I bet Waggott can't wait for JDT to leave then he can get another Mowbray in who like Waggott is only interested in feathering his own nest for a few years and who won't give him a hard time.

Pears isn't very good but this lad who we spaffed the summer budget on is absolutely abysmal. Far worse.

And rightly so.

£5m plus? I'll have a pint of what you've been drinking!

Well done to everyone involved in the organisation of today's game. Showed the Club you CAN get extra supporters in with a bit of effort.

What a strange post. Yes we don't need all those horrible nasty extra fans. Are you Steve Waggott?

What do you expect? Let's blow the summer budget (such as it was) on a keeper worse than the one we've got. Another Broughton masterstroke. Can't wait to see what he's got in store for January. Or hasn't based on previous form.

Whatever the exact target is I'm fairly sure this is a well trodden path. I'd be amazed if Waggott was suddenly prepared to reduce prices having raised them in the first place as that would actually require a bit of effort to get more bums on seats to meet said target.

How many times have we had that number over the last couple of seasons? It's a great effort especially at the time of year. It's almost as if the Club have deliberately introduced digital day immediately afterwards as an act of spite to undo any build up of good will caused by the Fans takeover

Ah but none of it is his fault, it's ours, we apparently have "staunch habits" ( he makes it sound like heroin addiction) that he finds awkward to overcome.

Another contributor on here (arbitro) has already said he's tried to do that and the Club wouldn't budge.

Convenient.

Hardly having a go, he commented that you didn't reply to him which is only unfair if you had actually replied but he claimed you hadn't.

What aspects of our marketing/ commercial operation do you feel have improved since this chap took over then?

He can't half write a CV though.,.....or someone else can on his behalf.

Sorry to keep digging out the Fans Forum but he's actually "a credit to the Club" according to Mike Graham (of Fans Forum Fame) (Rightly) Having the piss taken out of us by Darwen FC. That's about where we are right now as a Club.

When you highlighted this originally I posted at the time that it was possibly the most distressing thing I'd read about the Club during the current tenure. Imagine a young fan over the moon with excitement at the prospect of being a mascot only to have that dream cruelly snatched away from him or her because the Club can't provide a shirt even if his or her parents were prepared to buy one! Then we have this digital fixture bollux. It seems that not only do we not want fans in the ground we dont even want mascots either. Obviously all far too much trouble and hassle for those at the Club. I absolutely despair reading this thread. Looking at these pathetic and counterproductive attempts to save a few quid in staffing and printing costs my mind wandered over to the time when not that long ago according to the Fans Forum minutes Cheston and Waggott sat in front of them and with a perfectly straight face claimed they'd be willing and able to finance a brand new state of the art training Centre if they were successful in their plan to sell off part of the training facilities. Yet seemingly we can't even afford a few ink cartridges...............strange that.

OK, I look forward to hearing what the Club's responses to O2G's representations are and also the Forum's reaction to those responses.

Apologies if it's been mentioned elsewhere but what was the FF reaction to this utter nonsense? Did they just nod along to it in agreement like they appear to do with everything else? Ive been saying for years we'll be lucky if we still have a Club left by the time Waggott is finished, I do wonder what his end game is - no-one could possibly be that stupid.

50% loss rate this season 24 games to get 19 points to take us to 50. On that loss ratio we need 19 points from twelve games and we'd better hope that some of our wins don't start turning into draws.

Doubt we would have got anything anyway but two weeks wages for something so needless and stupid really isn't adequate. He's letting his team mates down on the day and we're stretched enough for bodies as it is.

Perhaps he hasn't picked up his usual "injury" that rules him out over the Christmas period so he's trying to make doubly sure he's unavailable.

In other news Ayala''s been sent off for Rotherham. Didn't know he'd gone there - how the mighty have fallen.

I feel sorry for the fans who have travelled all that way at an inconvenient time of year. Sounds like a capitulation of Allardyce like proportions when he wasn't prioritising a game. We do have these games when we don't put a shift in, Burnley away Preston home Rotherham away last season etc etc and it's not good enough.

Has there ever been a game when you didn't blame the referee?
