Well I dare say, with the season we've just had, we may make that up in season ticket sales

5501 you missed one adam will be pleased you've covered his loss of income next year

I'm less concerned about JP and more concerned about what Remington Mike has spent the last few years doing, ultimately, he's the one who's responsible for "running" the club.

Thanks for the concern, but with greater sponsorship, more corporate and increase in gates from neutrals thanks to Rovers going down, I think we will survive.

On Peacock, he will be on a high salary, so he staying isn't exactly doing Rovers a favour like some are suggesting on Twitter, he has to take big responsibly he was involved in recruitment, pre season, the decision to sack Chester and appoint Webster, Kelly situation and no loan signing except a reserve winger who hardly played.

On another note if you had no money for a signing how could Peacock play, doesn't his full salary go onto the cap once he plays (this is what happened to us with Andy Last and cost us points for a salary cap breach)

They must have been saving themselves for next year if you only averaged 10,500.
Didn't Pearson state that he needed 14,500 to balance the books?

If you say so. All I'm saying is, if we improve pass sales by 500, we'll cover the drop in average attendance that was mentioned. Anything above that will obviously be a bonus. For what it's worth, I didn't want you to be relegated. I will miss the derby games.

Depends if the fans have the appetite to buy a pass for a season without a derby. What were FC averaging before 2007? Just going on memory. Seem to remember a big increase for FC when we gained promotion.

Can't speak for anyone else, I will be buying one.
As I have done for more years than I care to remember. I'm sure our numbers will be up, and yours will be down. As I said, I enjoy the derby matches, and Magic weekend won't be quite the same, but I expect you will be back for 2018.

To be honest in the cold light of day if we had of stayed up I think it would just papered over the cracks all the talk of signing Hardaker and Todd Carney were just talk as we had actually signed Addy Clark and Scruton And all that meant was another season of struggle wheras now I suppose we can dump some deadwood hopefully keep a nucleus of the team and start again

Lardy, We buy our passes to see the Cream rather than any particular opposition, although you are right to a point, that in recent seasons the Derby has been the source of much joy for us, and yes, I suppose the 4 points will be missed.

But winning Rugby is the main attraction.....you'd enjoy it.

Yes, it will be a tough decision for many as the obviously only buy their pass so they can watch the derby and not worry about the other 12 or 13 games at all. Makes complete financial sense to shell out £250 for a pass to watch that one game rather than the £24 they could pay

Theres a bit of me that thinks exactly the same. The last few years have been poor and really boring. Some serious cap mismanagement was blatantly evident and scraping through would have either been a watershed moment or more than likely just a signal for more of the same.

I'd never want relegation but in the cold light of day it never really hurt me as much as it should have, I almost found it laughable as I called it with 5 minutes to go, that's what we do time and time again.

IF and it is a big IF we can regroup and bounce back we will do so stronger, if we don't then parking will be easier on match days.

By the way can someone clean this thread up, does anyone really care about FC's gates next year..
