The club's head coach, Valerien Ismael, said earlier this week he would be willing to sacrifice part of his transfer budget if it meant the money was reallocated to improving their pitch. Just going back to this a sec, it implies we have a transfer budget for January??

I hope you are right but 5-7k is still a lot of people I see Bristol rovers play at the mem and they are now relegated yet still get 6k each game at home Tues sat. It’s a lot of people it’s astonishing that we have fallen so low but in reality for it to be noticeable 7k turning up doesn’t seem to raise an eyebrow with the media

Last season we had travis and tronstad with Buckley on the bench and rarely used If people can’t see the downgrade of our squad due to the owners then they deserve to waste their money and go to the ground and watch us struggle

I am amazed that even 5-7k actually turned up last night!! A cold wet Tues to watch us struggle against Oxford - there are some truly die hard fans of ours. If they would protest as well and show the media that they aren’t coming to the ground but the fact that many even turned up last night doesn’t give me much hope that we can muster up enough of a walk out to attract media attention against the scumbags

That and we have only scored 19 goals as much as he complains about injuries we have had our front line available all season and all we can score is 19! The lowest of the league

Attendance 10,000 What was the away ticket allocation?

Their statement looks suspiciously like a LIST hmm who wrote a list recently

100%

Mental that rovers fans are dependent on some second hand information from, no offence to them but Oxford fans who are looking to get a bus to Lanc, it is crazy the club need to seriously get a grip on its fan communication

Is it cheaper for the club to 1-proceed with the game and hope it isn’t called off 2-proceed with the game and expect it to get abandoned 3-call it off in advance and go for a replay

lol!!! you have to laugh

Yes exactly they have been “running “ the club for 15 years the only person who spoke out of terms in that tenure (JDT) was gone immediately this is all orchestrated

Would be so much better for the fans and players if they just called it now let those who are working and doing their day jobs know in advance to prevent them arriving to find out it’s being abandoned after 15mins or whatever

Yes shame on them so many people, literally thousands would turn up to watch them play, on a cold winter Tuesday night before Christmas, and they can’t even communicate to advise fans if it’s on or not shame on them they should know if it’s being postponed they should communicate asap

Yes exactly!! He is safe he is fine he he can actually say whatever he wants as long as he gets the message out that there will be no investment in the squad because the money is now needed for the pitch, no doubt this will be used for a few windows. The club will have to fix the pitch now either to avoid fine or further negative attention, further abandonments, which will probably be costly especially with the injuries etc etc so they will be forced to repair the pitch or at least spend money on investigating and reports etc which he and Rudy etc can now justify why we have no money for transfers getting VI to make it seem like there is now no money for transfers is genius from their perspective Don’t fall for the BS that comes out of the club
