For starters, they will not want sponsorship from any brand which is perceived to be as big or bigger than their own. Remember they think completely differently than us folk.

The reason they bought us was not for our history or our future. It was only to have their brand name promoted. Why dilute the fantastic globally recognised Venkys brand with another well known brand. They are happy with small local companies.

So why isn’t Venky’s the title sponsor then? Like Etihad at City or bet365 at Stoke?

I for one would pack it in permanent if they did that

[Mattyblue]

It’s on the shirt sleeve, it sponsors the academy teams and it’s all over the ground already, so it would make any difference to me… and surely it’s a way of those ‘that never refuse a cheque’ to put more into the club.

Looks at Luton's ground last night and the amount of different sponsorships they had around the ground. Rovers have nowt of it. Its embarrassing

I have been told that there is a strong possibility that Watson Ramsbottom Solicitors will be replacing Totally Wicked next season.

Great.... Just what we need: Watson's bloody ass reaming on the front of our kits.  That'll have relegation written all over it.

I wonder if they had to crowd fund? 🤣

They'd need to be owned by billionaires no to.

Did the fans forum happen on the 8th of July as it was meant too?

I hope some serious questions about this shambles of a club were asked.

Sure O2G said it’s been moved.

End of the day that forum will never take the club to task, not particularly a criticism but it was a group set up in the good old days by John Williams to discuss pies and the range of branded glassware in the club shop and the like as he serenely ran the club, it was never meant to drag execs over the coals.

Whereas the twice yearly supporters consultation meetings (quietly dropped during Covid) and it’s ‘critical friend’ very much should be doing as we fall into an existential crisis … as should the local media.

The meeting has been shuffled about a bit (mainly availability issues on the fans' side) and will now be next Monday 22nd.

[JHRover]

I'd like Waggott to explain why the club aren't holding league-mandated supporter consultation meetings nor shareholder meetings.

We able to put questions forward? We really need to put Waggott under pressure.

E.g. the local glazing company they asked to do work but refused due to late payment of a prior job they did, so asked for the payment up front.

It’s easy for Waggott & co to take the piss when there’s no accountability. We are in desperate need of a group of fans to get together, apply pressure and hold the club accountable in the way BRAG did.

I’m going to handcuff myself to Waggott and livestream me asking repeatedly ‘where’s the money gone. Steve?’

I will definitely like and subscribe to that one.

Derby tickets on sale.

There’s a £2 ‘discount’ to buying online. But in reality that’s actually a two pound surcharge for buying in person.

Such cynical cash grabbing once again, the brass neck of them never ceases to amaze.

[Forever Blue]

£15 for 18-23 year olds. Is that a new matchday pricing? (It actually says 18-27 on twitter)

 

[Mattyblue]

No they had 18-23s at that price last season, at what is now the ‘discount’ price, of course.

[Forever Blue]

Oh right, so now it’s £17 if they buy at the shop?

Is there a Fans Forum meeting tonight? Is this the thing Waggott turns up to.

I have heard there is and hopefully some serious questions will be asked tonight.

It is time to give it to Waggott properly and demand some proper answers.

I'm laughing as I type this (but asking anyway) but Pasha won't be there will he?
