Which is exactly why Waggott should be questioned by the various fan groups on the demographics of sales and the total amount of money brought in. I'm with you and envisage some kind of spin by the club to mitigate the current malaise that many are feeling.

Waggot would probably say that it is too complicated for our IT team to produce the breakdown of exact figures.

Admin wouldn't do that or at least not to the depths doom mongers like to believe.

Going bust or liquidated would, continued managed decline and ending up in the lower reaches of league one will also do that.

By the way invoices are allegedly already going unpaid for 90 days.

Evidence from other clubs is that is exactly what happens.  Happy to be persuaded otherwise.

Is that up for debate?

Maybe one question to him could be has he asked the Indian Authorities to confirm the can fund bit.

Quite extensively on here.

Mercer's regular fishing attempt putting blame on those who go to games as if attendance or non attendance makes a blind bit of difference to Venkys, followed by the usual self proclaimed superfans. Rinse and repeat.

Nice for the penny to finally drop with him.

Hopefully those Lemmings that comment on the LT wake up too, but I’ll not hold my breath like….

He’s taking question on twitter  or via DM. Ask him. It’s a good question

I think there’s more chance of Venkys air dropping a war chest full of gold coins on the centre circle at Ewood.

I don’t do twitter - maybe someone else can ask it.

Probably about 2,500 are kids who have had cheap tickets bought by their parents and have no idea what is going on.

A great ploy by Rovers to make it seem like total ST sales are not in decline

We should always have cheap kids season tickets.

It might be a 'ploy', but it should be a core marketing strategy. It's how I started supporting Rovers all those years ago.

We should have cheap season tickets for everybody.

Derby, Coventry, Pompey, Wigan just a few of the clubs who have survived admin, are still going strong and are still employing lots of people.

Luton Town are possibly the best example of how administration can be a good thing.

No point debating it any more but after reading all the court documents,  am 100% convinced that they are not currently allowed to send any money. The August hearing is simply Venky's asking for permission to do so.

I agree. Cheap tickets for kids are essential but I was referring to Rovers' claims about excellent season ticket sales. They need to be honest for once.

The last time I checked this thread, was almost 100 pages ago. But, the comments still lead me to believe, not to be very hopeful about the upcoming season.

The question and answer session, was on the LT website and consisted of about 6 questions.

Total waste of time, as expected. 

[MarkBRFC]

Elliot doesn't know anything, It's just opinion of what he thinks will happen.

He still thinks venkys can fund the club with a bond because that's what the club have said, he could have done some proper research on this at any time and hasn't bothered.

He's a waste of time.

[lraC]

I asked on Twitter about the no objection certificate, but he didn't bother answering that one.

He did answer the really important question though, like what will then line up be in the next 2 friendlies?

Whenever he refers to "conversations he's had with his sources" I imagine it's actually just him lurking on this forum.

[tomphil]

The number of questions he didn't bother trying to answer are more telling than those he did.

He ain't got a clue obviously but neither have his sources i'd wager.

Just over 3 weeks until the Derby game and not a single 1st team transfer in. The side is undeniably worse than 12 months ago.  Best money JDT ever spent was buying out of his contract.
