We will not get close to 4000 season tickets sold. 

I genuinely reckon around the 3000 mark is realistic for us this season with Mowbray and the Coventrio at the helm.

Always tomorrow, never today with this lot.

Guarantee we will be one of the last to release information and get tickets or shirts on sale. As is normal.

They've already tried claiming that the pandemic is preventing season tickets from being sold which is cobblers as many other clubs with smaller stadia and higher demand than us are proving.

Excuse after excuse.

hoping soon that they are both announce. With the club shop offering sale after sale on training kits, home and away kits they must be getting close to announcing the new kits.

The 5 year contract with umbro was announced on May 12th 2016, so would presume it ends on the 11th

The Umbro deal will more than likely end on May 31st. It's possible that the deal with Macron, if it is them, could be announced before then.

Am I right in thinking Umbro's deal ends this season? If so would explain the buy one get one half price deal expertly sold by Dacky and Breo in the latest video. 

With Recoverite also being an initial one year deal the Commercial dept best get a move on

Commercial department? Get a move on? Haha. More chance of rovers being invited to join the European Super League!

Good spot. Who needs the club to confirm things....

Because at Rovers they choose managers over fans.

The CEO then divides the planned season ticket income by the number of projected fans.

Instead of trying to grow the fanbase…

”We’ve done all we can “.

Spot on.

"Increased revenue per customer" sounds great whilst "Increased profit per customer action" is the holy grail...

It seems almost every year this sort of thing gets confirmed elsewhere first

What club ? ...an embarrassment ! 

[chaddyrovers]

Wouldn't be surprised if we announce the new kit supplier and launch the new shirts next week given the sales/reduced prices going on with the current kits this past week

Rovers unveil Macron as new sponsor as Umbro deal ends | Lancashire Telegraph

 

Official ...5 year deal !

[Gumbi]

Macron are execllent for remaking classic kits so we could wel see something very similar to the 94/95 home shirt design somewhere down the line.

They recently released a 120th Anniversary kit for Sampdoria which was based on their shirt in 1900.

The deal kicks in on the 1st July, so presumably we’ll actually have a kit ready by then for once and we won’t be playing friendlies with an Umbro logo permanent markered?

“commercially, this is an excellent deal for the club”

Translation: we’ll buy them cheaper and sell them for more.

Wonder if they’ll ever do anything that is “excellent for fans “.

[rog of the rovers]

What we expected.

Interestingly, Macron will be the kit supplier for our 150th Anniversary, the 2025-26 season.

I was disappointed that Umbro didn't come up with a 25th Year Anniversary kit for the Premier League winning team in 2019/20, but I suppose we did get the pinstripes/red shorts combination for the League One campaign.

Looking forward to seeing what they come up with. Personally think this past season, Macron had some good kits

See Millwall and Armenia Bielefeld to name just a few.

Looking forward to seeing what they come up with. A simple Blue/White halved home, with the same in Red/Black away, and they'll be off to a flying start

But we don't buy them from Macron. They pay us and provide us with the kit.

Macron have quite clearly offered the best deal in terms of money and being able to produce what we want on our kits, such as halves on the back.

Yeah it will be very interesting to see prices for the shirts.

Did JH ?  say the Forest shirts made by Macron were pretty cheap ..or were they in the sale ?

Looking at the array of Macron club shirts they ve done over the years there are quite a number very pleasing on the eye ..
