Alan McInally is doing the punditry at Ewood and he just said it’s 1-0 to Burnley…

I know Reading FC do something where they have a members card that you pay for. That members card then makes tickets cheaper and every ticket or ST you purchase from there on in get put on that card. You only need to know what seat your sat in which will be in an e-mail anyway I'd assume. I think this system for us would be a nice compromise between both sides of the discussion.

That was an accurate interpretation to be fair. Everyone's input has been helpful to some degree which I appreciate. I can make midweek games but I do struggle with them. Getting home late and waking up early etc. All in all, I'm done with them unless it's a big game like a derby. I've noticed that the fixtures have been switched around a lot for sky broadcasts a lot over the last 2 seasons which I find frustrating too. I think I'm going to hold off getting a season ticket tbh. You never know I might get the urge to get a half season ticket which has happened to me before.

I’ve had a ST in the N01 BB end for 2 seasons now but I’m weighing up what the best decision is next season. I’m sick of the midweek and night games but I’m not sure if the other home games paid for separately will add up to the ST price or not. Any advice welcome btw.

Isn't our away form better than the home form though? Could be wrong, I haven’t checked tbh.

This made me think of the stick that the N01 gave him about his wife in the reverse fixture. He ain't gonna let up is he.

You’re all correct yes thank you for clearing that up. In my head I had it at 45 points being the highest total for a championship side in Peterborough but as it turns out I got the numbers the wrong way around and it was 54 haha. Also that assessment of the situation was helpful to me too. It really is very unlikely we go down but it wouldn’t be Rovers if we didn’t make things more difficult than they needed to be.

A lot of the teams down there play each other in these last few fixtures so not all of them can win all their games. Saying that, there is a still a formula for Rovers to get relegated. Avoid defeat against Wednesday keeps us up I'd like to say. That opinion comes with us having at least 50 points on the board which will smash the highest points total for a relegated team and Birmingham City and Huddersfield Town playing each other in the penultimate game. Not sure what result I prefer in the Plymouth Argyle vs Stoke City game yet. A draw is possibly the best outcome for us?

For me personally, the 1 point we earned against Southampton and the 3 points we earned against Leeds make up for the 4 dropped against Rotherham and Millwall at home. Both were must wins and we drew them both. They are bonus points They made up for the points we shouldn't have dropped in my opinion.

I saw a decent analysis of the Championship relegation scenario recently. Ill post the link for anyone interested and that particular persons opinion was one in our favor.

All this talk about attendances has reminded me a vid I watched recently. Putting all the championship teams in a league for attendance loyalty. I’ll link below for anyone interested.

Maybe we should reside ourselves to starting a Phoenix club now. At least when the owners do run the club into the ground we could be a few tiers above the bottom of the English football pyramid...

I agree with that. MW had a mountain of a task to keep us in the league. He nearly did but yeah a month earlier and he may well have achieved it, Only losing 3 games out of the 15 shows how much he needed to turn it around.

Yeah that pretty much sums it up. Although I didn't word it too well initially.

Yeah that statement was a bit too broad. I didn't word it well and didn't proof read as I was quickly typing up a message before returning to work. But I do appreciate what Gallagher did over the whole season. He will have earned more points than the two he dropped that day but whenever I think about the relegation, I think of that game. If that didn't happen, Mowbray could well have kept us up. I think he did a good job to get us into a position where we nearly stayed up after the Owen Coyle disaster. The naive mistake that Gallagher did that day shouldn't lie on Mowbray getting us relegated. Hope that comes across better?
