That can’t be right surely. I must admit I dont know any figures. But if the average home attendance was 12-14k and I’m guessing the average away attendance was 2k. That’s between 10-12k home fans average. How many season tickets did we sell last season? 8-10k 🤷‍♂️. If any of those figures are vaguely right that’s almost all of the fans attending having season tickets. In which case it’s vitally important to get season ticket sales right.

All the club have done is bottle neck sales into May that should have been happening since April.

Nothing to do with season tickets but have rovers arranged any pre season games yet? If I can help it I generally avoid the main rovers propaganda website and couldn’t see anything on here. Suppose it’ll be too much to hope for a good, exiting or different side along the way. I assume it’ll be the usual dredging of lower league Lancastrian clubs, including the standard nonsense 2 60 minute games vs Stanley and the token tour of Austria. With Noblot failing to get promoted the smart money will be on playing them. One million percent Stanley. Barrow also a usual favourite. Wigan and Blackpool also no doubt in the running.

I’m sure he’s been totally shafted by the club. He will not have signed up to the “Brentford model” with the caveat of no money to spend and selling anyone able to ascend beyond mediocre or simply let them walk out of the door. A project doomed to fail but until these people speak out against the club I’ll view them as complicit in its demise.

Surely the dof idea dies with the egg rather than replacing him. Never thought it had a chance of working at Rovers. That was even before factor in the buffoons running the show. If persist with it, it’ll be some other no mark from an obscure academy or total crank.

All con men have that quality swag in abundance. The eggs best work has probably been the contract renewals but too many basic mistakes on his watch. Swag simply wasn’t capable of leading renewals, what does a salary of £350k buy you these days, which is why four lads of value left for gratis.

It’s probably deserved. He talks a good game but if you look at all the windows under his tenure they’ve been a bloody shambles (whether his fault or not). He’s head of that department so must carry the can. I know the Venkys are the main problem closely followed by swag but while the underlings all remain silent shit flows downhill. Another nda incoming.

Here we go again. A flurry of wickets surely can’t lose by an innings at home vs a team who barely scraped past 250

Lancs 50/0 off 8 overs. Wonder if one of the foo fighters is a decent middle order bat, ask them when they play at OT, maybe that’s the plan

When needed 3 Kent wickets at 12:30 didn’t expect to be booing Lancs off by 5pm We are genuinely awful, but at least we can host t’pau’s comeback show for the many thousand that would attend or whoever they’ve booked.

My first day at ot for the new cricket season. Can’t face watching rovers rely on other teams to avoid relegation. I’m wondering what Lancs have done or going to do to irritate me. Usual favourites dictating specifically where 2k need to sit in a 20k seater, shutting all the entrances and exits, having one bar open at the opposite end of the ground to where they are trying to force people to sit, no toilets, Manchester originals propaganda everywhere. Then there’s whatever shite the players serve up and the usual point blank refusal to play in so much as light drizzle.

That was worth a watch to see how pears lived rent free in the slime lickers heads. Although the biggest surprise is I didn’t know those yarkshire knuckle draggers could count so high. Although one did go from 23 to 40 and fairly swiftly to 55 and 60. To be fair in the 20s these are pretty big numbers for the average Yorkshiremen. He definitely earned his gold star A for effort. That being said I’ll add the caveat keepers wasting time does normally annoy me. I think they have 8 seconds to hold the ball but it really isn’t uncommon to see them hold it for 15-20 seconds and I’ve never seen it ever punished.

Also why on earth are we playing with a kookaburra ball. Why can’t we just be proud of our own game. There’s surely a happy medium between medium pace dollopers taking 50 wickets a year and this shite they’re serving up where it’s impossibly to take a wicket and a complete snorefest. Death by Strauss.

Warwickshire 443-1 against a good Durham bowling attack. The ECB are further ruining the game insisting on these “good” pitches. On the one hand they insist on the hundred to make the game fast, sexy and entertaining. On the other hand they’re feeding the narrative of cricket being dull by creating pitches where every match is a draw and that’s in April conditions.

I hope cricket Australia say it does count. Serves Lancs right. It was braindead selecting him when had already lost a full day before naming the xi and likely 2 other days. Actions have consequences a lesson Lancs don’t seem able or willing to learn in a lot of areas.

Possible Essex might force a result, but all other games heading for draws. Derbyshire and Durham abandoned without a ball being bowled. We play at new road on the 29th of September. I’ll wager that’ll be a weather related draw as well. There’s a reason cricket is supposed to be a summer sport not a spring/autumn sport. It’s one thing to try and promote the 16.4 but in their relentless crusade to avoid it being a total flop they’ve totally abandoned the 50 overs competition, fucked over the county championship, undermined the t20 and don’t play international or any form of proper cricket in the peak summer months. The ECB need stringing up.

You couldn’t make that tripe up. They’re nothing more than lower midtable premier league vultures circling round championship clubs in dire straits. (I appreciate the boot was once on the other foot for rovers). Wharton is definitely not a better footballer now than he was 3 months ago yet he’s now played for the u21s vs Luxembourg I think it was. He would not have played if was still here.

Telalovic can't even get on the pitch when we're 5-1 up. Clearly doesn’t rate him, like his predecessor didn’t.

I thought it had to be an april fools joke.

No idea where this win has come from but it’s hugely welcomed. It’s not that we’ve had 3 bad transfer windows but they’ve been utterly calamitous ones. Shafted by the club. It feels ridiculous even thinking of a normal one but a keeper is the top of a very long list.

Since day 3 in Ranchi it’s been an unmitigated disaster but jimmys 700th wicket definitely a high point. 9 to go past warne, 101 to go past murali, 300 for his 1000th test wicket. We are 8/9 in the standings, and have lost I think 6 from 10 lost, with lost test at Manchester. Maybe, just maybe, this “Bazball” stuff is pure shite, and things like playing time, absorbing pressure, occupying the crease, keeping opponent in the field, the things that test cricket have been based on for 150 years are still important. Well at least to me. Maybe not to the yooof who need music and fireworks

No!!! Remember we played alright vs an injury ridden Newcastle in midweek. That’s like another 10 points.

I’m not disagreeing and he is undoubtedly the best player in our team but the sad thing about it all is he probably wouldn’t make the top 100 best players I’ve seen in a rovers shirt. That’s how far we’ve fallen.
