I think the pitch was higher, possibly by a couple of foot - around the time the ground was redeveloped. There was a significant drop off once over the touchlines which could be a bit dodgy for the players and made taking corners difficult. So if the pitch is now lower, it would explain why we are seeing more problems than we used to. Water table is now higher. It could be put right with some engineering and owners prepared to pay for it. But we all know the problem there.

Don’t take the bait. 😊

I’m still waiting. Not much to expect it 24 hrs before Ko. I can just see this system going tits up one day. Will my ST card still work if I bring it as backup?

Great through ball

It’ll take some skill to do that and remain in the championship. Skill I don’t think they have. League 2 here we come. Happy days.

When the injuries kick in mid season, we really are knackered.

My only glimmer of hope is that often all assets are stripped and costs cut prior to a sale.

For the bean counters. Not in the interests of Rovers and the league we play in. It’s terrible business

I could do with some counselling for continuing to support Rovers since the Venkys trapped up 15 years ago.

If that's the case, why don't you just skip over their posts and don't read them? That's what I do with yours most of the time.

You missed the boat

Yep. Just tell the truth, and keep telling the truth.

I guess we have thickos running the club.

Wilsden deserves some royalties!

Probably is worth keeping him. It looks like the players we are bringing in could be below championship standard. At least Buckley has had the odd good game. Poor most of the time. I think he is the level we are now at sadly.

Indigestion?

Looking at our expected transfer spend, remember when we signed Christian Dailly for about £5m in 1998? Blew my mind then, and it blows my mind now.

I’ve thought for the last 10 years that promotion to the prem would mean venkys would be less likely to sell. Kudos back, big income stream.

That’s got to be the most ironic post I’ve ever read. 😊 .!

I'd agree with that analysis. So it would appear (I may be wrong) that unless we receive the £4.9m before the end of June, we may be struggling to pay the milkman. Amongst others.

£1.8m in agent fees. 😶

He’ll sign a new contract if we go up!

You have my sympathys. It’s a bloody difficult job at the best of times. And you aren’t even getting paid for your trouble. Thanks for your (and KHods and however else I've missed) efforts dealing with these people. You’ve more patience than me.

Am I correct in thinking that work wouldn’t affect Ffp? The Raos should pay for that work, no question. Some would call that an “investment”. I’d call it basic duty of care by an owner.

“Pacey winger” incoming 🎉🎉🥳
