I was born 7 months later so I've always been jealous of my Dad and his mates who experienced it all, and I was too young still to appreciate the League Cup win for what it was. But reading this thread and thinking about the state of the club now, just makes me angry. Angry it's happened, angry at Venky's for making it happen, angry at the footballing authorities for letting it happen and angry at the people in the fanbase who continue to watch it happening without question. Venky's out.

They have no interest in growth as shown by the multiple times we've sold out the ground and then the following match/season tickets have been sat in the top 10% of the league's pricing table. It would make the club more money to have 15k ST holders at £250 (adult) than they do half of that (thereabouts) at £350. That's before you consider reducing walk on costs and the money people spend at the game. They just don't want the scrutiny of an engaged fanbase over 20k weekly.

I'd argue he's just another person on the internet who's absolutely desperate to always be on the winning side of any debate for some unbeknownst reason. Just makes him look naïve at the absolute best.

What will it take for you to see that there's no excuse, rhyme or reason for this to keep fucking happening? The family line is absolute bullshit, the article tells you this, Does Pasha have spit in your face or something?

I feel as though I am responsible for Ohashi’s goal after this. Unbelievably good performance going forward, still very concerning with the goalkeeper situation. He just needs to be replaced, I think he knows it too.

I'm beginning to think the "submit" button still doesn't work.

The past 12 months has surely showed every youth player the best way to the top is to play for us for a bit longer? Wharton is in the England (provisional) squad for the Euros & was one of the best players in the country for the past 2-3 months whereas Ash Phillips is being linked with more Championship loans!

Rewarding the self proclaimed super fans who the clubs love and pushing away traditional fans who they don't. Shock.

ESTC resets after every major tournament and goes to "total caps" and "active caps". So for example if England are drawn with Gibraltar in the next qualification period, the first game being away, the "active caps" for everyone is 0, I believe in this instance they'd use the "total caps" to determine who's getting what in terms of tickets - I'd expect Rovers to use a similar setup should it be required.

They loyalty scheme is also a crock of shit. More points for a women's game than Plymouth, Cardiff or Sunderland away? Really? I've been a member of the England Travel Club for roughly 10 years and women's games aren't even considered as part of it. Just to add, I am well in favour of growing the women's game, but this feels like the club forcing people into spending money for the sake of "loyalty" points.

Have similar thoughts - may as well lock the thread…

I would agree, but there's also been a lot of talk that they didn't like one another, so would he be that bothered?

But equally, 11 months ago, but for the width of a crossbar, JDT would've got us into the playoffs. Fine margins don't make or break anything, you need to look at his spell as a whole to judge. I agree its clear he lost the players, the reasons for which I don't think we'll ever know, because until December he was working miracles with them...

Just get rid of the arrogant twat. Everyone who said JDT was arrogant must be delighted we’ve got this fucking useless dullard taking us down.

Can’t believe JDT made Pears let that in!
