Lancaster Rover

Elliot Jackson banding around the idea of an ultimatum made to Brittain, that's 100% the club paving the way for him to be sold, be very very surprised if he's a Rovers player next season. Championships' best RB will fetch a few million.

There is a funding implication to offering players more minutes, this moves you up the EPPP league table in terms of output, resulting in increased funding. There is also an impact on any players that then leave on a tribunal or don't renew with us, the training comp is based on a mix of 'training cost' and the value they are to the team.

Is that the fella who did a brilliant job with Rovers social media, I remember there was an 18 month period where the content was very good, quite funny, original and in touch with the audience

paying to sit through them?

to be fair to the Port Vale Marketing team they're not working for Saachi and Saachi and will be doing about 15 'marketing/promotion' jobs, spread across social media, commercial, hospitality, events and whatever else might come under their remit so I can let them off

I had thought that, even so it's bloody awful

Great kit, horrendous marketing shots. Looks like it’s taken in someone’s garden, wearing trainers as well. Terrible

It's mind blowing the levels of stupidity at Ewood, filling the Riverside at the cost of a packed BBE both kills the atmosphere and pretty much results in a net reduction on ticket sales turnover. Not to mention the resulting reduction in sales of beer, food, etc.

Across a squad it's not that many for training, getting up and down as a keeper is exhausting so any finishing drills will need at least 2 keepers rotating in and out, you don't want that to be your numbers 1 and 2 as they'll blow a physical gasket

As soon as they come up with Mannequins that can move these lads will be out of a job!

He's a training keeper, at our level you have to contract lads to do this. Up and down the land clubs from Step 2 through 5 will have keepers who are paid expenses (or contracted) to purely be a body in training, both to support the keepers and lighten the load on keepers for finishing work to give the Pro's a rest. This lad will be no different, Eastham and Hilton have been fulfilling the role for us for years.

The big blow for a lot of the young women affected (16-19) will be that this could seriously hamper their chances of going to American D1 Universities which is a well trodden/lucrative pathway for female footballers. It's not just the short term impact these decisions have it's the long term life changing impact they have

A lass (16) who I do private coaching for has just signed for Rovers u21's turning down Everton and Liverpool, same story for her. Puts a massive dent in her plans for the next couple of years

Are they aware that without a season ticket you can enjoy every Saturday 3pm home kick off, in fact if all your bothered about is saturday 3pms then you're better off without an ST.

ditto, real shame for the lad. The few times I saw him he had that lovely combo of being a direct runner in that languid left footed style, bit of a throwback to some extent

His purple patches have come when our formation and tactics have allowed him time and space, where he's the spare man in midfield. Where he's been deployed against a man to man system or one that matches us up zonally he's been awful, he has no wing mirrors when he's in midfield and when played as a traditional right back he gets rinsed, which is saying something given the general approach this year has been to allow wingers wide, give space and allowed to cross as we're confident the CB's can deal with it.

Venky’s are paying for his holiday as we speak

The bookies have us in at 10/3 now

I’ve only just caught up with this and it reads to me very much like the guy did say what’s he’s paraphrased as saying. Basically new/young fans are easy and a quick win, lapsed fans are difficult and requires to have uncomfortable questions that we don’t want to have to answer. He just doesn’t appear to like being called out on what he said and the context in which it was said. I think this is just a powerplay to give an excuse to stop engagement with WATR

Their behaviour before and during the Copa Del Rey on Saturday night was appalling

I think Travis, Tronstad, Brittain and Hyam will be on closer to £40k combined than £25k

Unfortunately for JRC he has now spent longer at Rovers looking like the player who was an injury crisis away from being released than the 18 game purple patch playing in a modified 3-4-3 under JDT. The performance against Blackpool this year killed him

I think they will rest a few, been a long old season and Wilder is a smart cookie, he'll rest a few and play a few to make sure everyone goes into play offs having a good spread of minutes so they're all sharp. So if we turn up we could beat them, however if we don't we'll get dogwalked like we did at Ewood, there really was a chasm earlier in the season. In fact based on that game I was fairly confident Sheff Utd would win it as they had numerous ways of playing unlike the Dingles and Leeds. I've been fairly surprised by their drop off, that said they've struggled against other 'top teams'. Really is a crap league this year, making our December to April collapse all the more frustrating.

Yeah odds checker giving 11/2 and 7/2 on us, PNE so £280ish profit on a tenner. Worth a swing

Rovers in the play offs and PNE relegated is a cracking double, defo worth a tenner if I can get decent odds
