The thing I don't understand is this. On the one hand in the HDM he's said there'll be no more under-writing of club losses by directors. On the other he's said next year you should be getting 10k a week easily which he's said before means break even. So isn't it just a case of " as you were"?

Yes if you ignore the word 'should' which clearly you did.

News Flash. Mrs Barista in selective reading shocker!

Are you doubting your chairman ?

Doubt everything.

Even this.

Not if he said 'should' no.
Seeing as it is obvious to most that don't have a clear agenda that when he says it he obviously means that it is probable.

Didn't he say you were averaging 8k and effectively turning people away currently, and getting them and more away fans in should mean 10k?

It's all a bit chicken and egg, I suppose. Is there so much latent support that a sub cap squad will pull in 10k is probably the question. Otherwise downgrading/weakening the squad could put 10k at risk. Same at FC, tough in the current environment and with full cap spend and unlimited capacity we're scraping 11.5k. Tough times.

We have had conversations about you deliberately missing context to further an arguement before.
How about you stop it.

Oh and before you deny it don't bother we both know it's the truth.

What context do you want? This is a thread about Rovers policies and the change of direction reported by Hudgell in a couple of different media outlets this week. He has talked very specifically about the link between attendances and squad quality: "that's it for the directors in terms of subsidising the club. Without the revenue the stand will generate for us we would really have to cut back on spend to the point where I would question whether we could be competitive in the league".

NH thinks that 10,000 crowds can be achieved by a modest increase in away fans and says the club often has to turn home fans away from full East and West Stands.

The link between achieving attendances and squad quality could scarcely be more clearly articulated by your chairman. The context of squad quality and policy, which is the subject of this thread, is absolutely achievement of attendances, as Neil quite rightly points out.

As for the word "should", my direct quote says the stand "will" generate the income necessary to achieve a competitive squad, so stronger than "should".

Sounds like you'll go with pretty much this year's squad, a couple of Aussies out and a couple in, more young players getting a go.

And you accuse some-one of playing with context....priceless

Mrs B does not need backing up and certainly not by me.....Mrs B commented on how she perceived the words you then got all high and mighty and [ithen[/i went on to post how you perceive the words, like I say priceless
