ST’s

[steve w]

Add to a filthy lacking lacking basic maintenance to the stadium, the mishaps with the kits, the late season tickets what went on sale and the mess selling the training ground.

Shambles

Understatement!

I have also heard that Rovers did not have many ST plastic cards in stock so those who have new seats will be sent paper tickets for the first home game.

Bloody unbelievable!

 

[Drog]

They might sell more ST's if they would pick up the phone.

Anyway I only want to insist before I purchase that there is no more taking the knee. It's doing my bloody head in. Why don't they go the whole hog and re-christen it OBLM.... Only black lives matter? That appears to be the message these days.

Good luck with that one. I won’t boo if they do it but I will turn my back to the pitch. Let’s see what the media make of that if it catches on.

My mate has just waited 20 mins to get told they can't allocate us our seats for Morecambe game because they can't generate tickets for the "new" padded seat area.....they are going to ring him back!!
It's funny in a very worrying way

It appears that our season ticket prices are amongst the highest in the championship, which surprises me.

Rovers and PNE season ticket prices compared to their Championship rivals

North End and Rovers have announced their season ticket prices for the 2021-22 campaign

I suppose it could be said that, after all the crap Bolton have been through, a promotion has brought some feel-good factor.
Whereas at Ewood there's more of a feel-fucked factor

Add to that list, Rovers telly incapable of professionally marketing its main product and the loss of key backroom Academy staff like Simon Cooper.
So, here's a scary thought; what if our first-team player acquisition strategy is similarly afflicted by systemic incompetence? Could that be the reason why we haven't signed anyone?

I believe the failure to sign is more to do with the internal policy of ‘slash costs and spending’. Still having staff on furlough (paid for with tax payer money) is a good example,

Plus Bolton started selling their STs about six weeks before us - like a proper business

I actually stopped watching rovers last year with the pathetic kneeling it was like a group of dogs. If they start the season kneeling then I’m finished with rovers. I’m genuinely just a bit sick of all politics LGBTQA-Z, gender equality, rainbow laces etc entering the football arena. I watch or go to football to be entertained not lectured at and to take a break for two hours from the world.

Most of the players that DFC listed on another thread wanted binning, so I see sense in curbing outgoings, given the uncertainty of the last 18 months, and the likely over supply of players this summer. Having said that, The Trotters' ST sales shows there is a healthy market available, so keeping staff furloughed, which might be related to the shoddy service, smacks of false economics.

Jon Pepper was let go by Burnley last month. Local will know the local scene over saw as academy manager Burnley’s 3-1 Cat status. Could be a shrewd replacement

First question is ..... Why was he 'let go'?

Burnley put mile rigg ex Hughes buddy on garden leave, pepper went, the media manager Bentley has gone and quite a few more.

ALK are having a complete turnover

It is not a decision that Brfc can either take or enforce. The clubs and the EFL wimpy get out is that it down to the players.

Quite simply don’t pick the players who kneel off they are to defy the club?

By replacing existing staff with their own men ALK are removing any possible witnesses to the events which will follow. Sound familiar?

Just popped down to Ewood to purchase our tickets - £918 gulp ! More expensive for me as I couldn’t justify the cost of last season’s TV tickets and didn’t get the discount.

It’s getting harder and harder to motivate myself ( and the wife ! ) to attend , but I still will and guess that’s my dearly departed mother’s fault . She bought me my first Rovers iconic blue and white halved shirt off Accy market in 1966 and I just can’t imagine not being there when the players ( transitory - it ain’t about them ) run out onto the pitch proudly wearing ( or at least they should be ) our world famous kit .

Look forward to seeing you on Saturday Al

Up the Rovers .

Edit : Just read your post in the other thread Al . Hope to see you soon if not on Saturday .
