Standing up to the forum bully. It must be working, he doesn't like me...i'm devastated:

TBF, most use the unnoficial forum. I'd like to say why this one is infrequently used by most but it would get me into trouble icon_eek.gif

Quote: insider knowledge "Back to topic, despite the Generals optimism on crowd increases, I have been watching Rovers for over 35 years and we have never regularly got over 9000 average crowds never mind 10,000. I am concerned that despite a successful 2009 we averaged under 9,000 average crowds. I just don't think there are any more fans out there who will regularly attend. The extension is great news for existing fans but expecting that to balance the books is short sighted and folly. We need to budget within our means or suffer the consequences. If this means spending less on players salaries, so be it. Better to be a SL also rans long term than a short lived success going bust. '"


Fair post. I think the extension will draw in some more fans - we'll have to wait to see how many, but it won't be a cure-all. In part the costs are being covered by partners and it gets the club closer to a franchise tick-point (capacity), and shows the RFL that things are still moving in the right direction. Definately a positive step. I was a bit OCD about the lack of symmetry with only one end extended, but I won't now need to waste the time of an NHS psychiatrist so everyone is a winner (my wife can just learn to live with my refusal to set the television volume to prime numbers)

Do you honestly believe that there are hordes of fans who have not been attending games in your best season for 25 years just because they have to sit in a seat at one end rather than stand in the east stand? Does it deter people from travelling to away matches when they know they will be stood (or sat) behind the sticks? The east stand hasn't sold out every match. I remember a number of ames (including the wigan play off game I think) where your club were advertising availability of tickets right up to kick off.

No. I'm not really seeing how you could think I might from my previous post. I might make the effort to travel up a couple more times, if I can be certain of getting a ticket to watch with friends. I'm quite happy with my obstructed view from the back of the West stand, but I can understand why others might not be. A bit of spare capacity and choice will be nice for the fans.

It's not going to add the 2000 that the nudger claims though is it?

chairman - no way

coach - I'd swap him for agar today
league position - anything but 1st is irrelevant really

Why are you so keen to get shot of Agar, if you are not really bothered by results? Do you just not like the cut of his jib or something? If everything but 1st is irrelevant - why not stick with him, because I can't see anybody dragging you from 12th to 1st this year. It is only a game afterall and not worth someone losing their livelihood over, surely. icon_wink.gif

HEY YOU GUYS!!!!!!!!:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_35457.png



Could it be that FC fans are slighty jealous of a stand that will now hold over 5500 standing?. A stand that gives the best atmosphere of any ground? A ground that Sky and Phil Clarke love to come to for the old School atmosphere?
Do they miss it?
I think so. icon_wink.gif

I think so.
And a ground where we can choose our fixture days ( sky permitting).
