It's almost gratifying to know for the first time ever my initial post on here has been transcribed completely on the Rovers 'secret' message board.
I CAN DIE A HAPPY MAN !!
I’m sorry for those that’ll miss it, but there clearly aren’t enough of them. I’m no free market fundamentalist, but Reach is a commercial entity.
Times change - the Rovers board on here used to get a fair few posts. Now it’s a good day if it gets a spammer-scammer selling dodgy passports. This board is still active… but not like when Paul M, Kosh, Jake the Peg et al. were here as well.
People were no doubt sad when the music halls closed - perhaps you were one of them? Just joshing.
Something new will come along… and then that’ll get old and be replaced in turn.
I’m already prepping for Rovers and Hull becoming Ultimate (frisbee) clubs when the brain injuries thing gets too much to stomach.
There’s a melancholy to seeing a venerable institution fade away - but it (the HDM) has been a shell of what it once was for a while.
It’ll have no direct impact on IMG scores. The indirect impact… it’ll be real, but the focus is on new media for reasons that go beyond just ease of measurement.

| Its interesting to note to those Rovers fans that have commented on losing their dedicated reporter at the Mail and bemoaning the fact that their stories have dried up, (whilst Dan Tomlinson has had his stay of execution delayed for three months), that although they have 'assisted' with a Mail reporter travelling to camp with them all week, we have seen more stories about the FC than Rovers and today it equates to 5 to 1 three of which I found extremely interesting.
For me being a fan isn't all about winning or indeed losing but rather feeling part of what's going on and I really enjoy visiting the Mail pages as I do these (and the camaraderie there is on here) and the Yorkshire posts every day to read about the club I love, as do 500,000 other daily 'hits' of FC fans on the Mail site too apparently. I'd miss it if it disappeared and I'm pleased that it's continuing for a while at least.

Well you’ve only your own club to blame for it not continuing due to not being prepared to pay in. Tomlinson’s redundancy is paying for the extra 3 months he’s doing.
