I can see why he was upset, will be ok for smaller games, but a nightmare for bigger ones.
Didn't hear the band, they were setting up before the game under there, but never heard them play.
On second thoughts were they the ones who sung red red robin before the game? |

The band were quite good. Did a lot of their own stuff first and then some covers.
The fans looked like they were enjoying it |

Did you get rid of all the voices in your head? Do you now miss them and the things that they said?: |
|
| Quote: Jake the Peg "Because the kids didn't pay to attend? Now your definition of free might be different to mine but if someone bought a ticket and gave it to me I'd say I got it for free'"
There you are then. The tickets were paid for but not by the people who used them. Therefore Rovers did not 'give away' free tickets. |

So these are what? £90 passes? If they get 1500 of them and Hull get £140k. Can't remember seeing any for sale at that amount. What I think they are is a couple of hundred passes for premier club pass holders who are entitled to go to both rugby and football, which seems fair enough that Hull should get a cut of the money |

140,000 divided by 220(aprox)
No, it's premier club tickets which are in excess of £500 each so equates to less than 300, plus the attendance figure only includes those who actually attend as the system is computerised

I never said they were free, just taht the people attending didn't pay. Did they all turn up? How much did rovers receive for them? Sounds like another waste of tax payer's money to me |

Well you may throw your rock and hide your hand
Workin' in the dark against your fellow man
But as sure as God made black and white
What's down in the dark will be brought to the light:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_67329.jpg |

einstien said insanity is when a person does the same thing over and over again but expects a different result: |
|
|
Every team gives free or cheap tickets away at some point in a season probably more than once the thing I don't get is why anyone is bothered

Because it helped give us a higher attendance than them. They don't like it. |

Without getting into the free / paid for / tax payer debate.......Good marketing by Rovers IMO, the "record" attendance got plenty of mentions in column inches and social media. Some may well come back for a second look and if every "freebie" spent a fiver than worthwhile.
FC had too many gimmick's last season but personally think we should have had school kids free for the Catalans game & simarlarly should be doing this when we play London
