100% legit! It’s my cousin who bought them! JW upper (darwen end side). His mate posted it to footy scran site.

Hope there’s something in this. Andy Bayes even commented on Radio Lancs tonight that he had expected VH to be going to Sunderland but it’s all gone rather quiet today.

The Dack situation surely won’t be helping this. My understanding is Diaz & Dack are top mates if not best mates at the club. Freezing your best mate out of the team & playing inferior players in his place isn’t going to entice him to sign on the dotted line!

No he is definitely a Rovers fan. His father is / was a big Rovers fan. Linked article from 5 years ago where he confirms himself that he’s Rovers. https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/thats-football-phil-jones-understands-11105578.amp I’d be all for this if there is any substance in it. He’s made his money from football now. If he had anything about him, take a big pay cut & enjoy the rest of your football career before it’s over.

My weekly rant about season tickets………. not only has our CEO reduced the club cash amount to a mere £15 & got rid of it for concessions, he has also scrapped the replenishing of it this season. It used to work out okay in the sense that you could spend a few quid on merchandise but at least you’d then earn a couple of quid off your next sale. I learned this having spent a small fortune on kits for my kids, and then when I went back for a 2nd visit hoping to get a couple of quid off, was told it’s been scrapped this season! This is penny pinching to the extreme! We are literally talking 5-10% I think it was & he’s got rid of it. It’s not even so much about the small saving; more feeling like you are at least a valued customer and getting a benefit from being a ST holder. Some players are on £15k plus a week. Waggott himself is reportedly on £300k plus per annum. Yet taking a couple quid benefit away from hard working season ticket holders, who are spending what little cash they may have these days back into Rovers, is a necessary cost cutting measure?! I just think it’s a catalogue of Waggott’s general disdain to ST holders. Expensive ST prices, scrapping of replenishing club cash etc. Again if others feel the same, hopefully someone in the FF may wish to query this with him?

Enjoyed yesterday but wasn’t the same as 2 pals and their kids who I’ve sat with for a long time weren’t there…… reason being is they simply couldn’t afford this seasons ticket prices. Longstanding season ticket holders too. Fans who work hard all week should not be priced out of going to watch their local team play football on a Saturday afternoon. It makes my blood boil. All that’s going to happen is these kids will miss out on Rovers and with that you lose a generation of support. And yet they had the temerity to employ the gestapo to check on id to get into the ground causing massive queues in the heavy rain! I really wish the folk in the fans forum would put issues like this to Mr Waggott.

Twitter rumour circulating that Brighton have made Van Hecke available. Yes I know it’s probably a load of codswallop!

I’m in that bracket. I’m going to renew next week for my sons sake who desperately wants to go. But for him I probably wouldn’t have bothered. Whilst JDT has impressed, I really can’t take to our CEO. He treats the loyal season ticket holders as £ sign mugs. Everything about the entire season ticket holder experience has gone down hill under his stewardship. Vastly inflated prices for rubbish beer, catering gone down hill (apart from the Biryani!), struggle to get served at half time due to bar closures, reduced club cash so it’s barely worth it, no decent deals for cup games etc. He shouldn’t be trying to penny pinch from loyal season ticket holders. If anything I spend less in the club shop due to the reduction in club cash! I’ve got a couple of mates who have said they aren’t renewing. They begrudge paying the most expensive season ticket prices in this part of the world. Whether they succumb at the last minute I do not know.

I’ve been a season ticket holder for over 30 years & genuinely contemplating not renewing this time out. I’m utterly fuming with the season ticket prices. I honestly believe Waggott & co don’t care a single iota for the loyal local ‘mug’ who forks out every year for season tickets. He seems to bend over backwards for everyone else but your loyal season ticket holder! Local community buses, flashy international flexi ticket etc but let’s completely rip off the loyal season ticket holder. It’s also noted that club cash has decreased a lot in his tenure! Waggot must be on another planet if he thinks he can charge £120-150 more than a similar club 10 miles to the west. Or for that matter more expensive than every other club in this area and even same price as Man City! If he has the humility & foresight to accept he’s got it wrong, reduce prices to £300, then I will renew immediately. As I suspect an extra circa 5,000 would do, resulting in greater income in any event!

Possibly! Although 14s to now 2s in less than a day is an eye catching move in any market.

Farke is now 5/2. Somethings brewing!

I’ve just had a quick look and looks about 300. I’m reckon there will be 1500 in there come Saturday 3pm

Just seen a video on twitter of around 30-40 Bolton staff and stewards clearing the snow off the pitch. It is pretty much clear now. Proper hands to the pump effort with everyone mucking in. Rovers on the other hand……..

Further pitch inspection 2.15. Wtf are they playing at?!

Spot on. The work Yasir Sufi is doing to attract and engage the Asian Community is to be commended. However the club cannot abandon trying to attract the next generation from the traditional support base. I just feel this is being neglected and i am not the only one who feels this. My kids go to a primary school in Whitehall Darwen which has always been a core Rovers area. I think the school had 1-2 visits from Rovers community trust in the league 1 season but have had nothing since. It hasn’t gone unnoticed. It’s basically been left to the fervent supporting Rovers parents like me to drum our kids to be Rovers fans and not succumb to the glory of the big clubs. Accy Stanley do more to get the kids in than Rovers.

I hope he does play. I don’t like jeering previous players; I will make an exception for this one

Rothwell is either incredibly naive / stupid or very thick skinned. Surely he must know that a move to Bournemouth, and if that hypothetically propels them to promotion and derails our chances, means he will be detested by Rovers fans for the rest of his career. He must know the recent history of our club and how this seems very much a ‘now or never’ chance of getting back to the PL and securing the foreseeable future of the club. He will also surely be derided by his Rovers team mates. Usually a transfer is just a transfer and not taken personally by the other players. However this is different. This is potentially the only shot most of our players will get at playing in the PL. As well as career progression, the financial impact for the other players, and the potential for them and their families to be made for life, cannot be underestimated! Notwithstanding the venkys promotion bonus! When I first posted this rumour on here on Friday I genuinely hoped it was nonsense!

Thought it was “buuuuuuuullshit”?! 🤷‍♂️

Fair comments Islander! I hope you are correct.

I completely agree

I hope it is. See my post above

Not at all. I’ve been posting on here on & off for 20 years and wouldn’t do that. Someone claimed on Facebook this morning that they know one of Rothwell’s family and he has asked to leave. Not beyond the realms of possibility that he knows someone given Rothwell is a Manchester lad. Then a good friend (who also used to post on here) said he’d been told same thing by someone who has contacts at Rovers, and that apparently it’s his wife who is pushing it. Latest one on FB is that Rothwell hasn’t travelled to Luton and has been told to have the weekend off. I reiterate that I hope it’s a load of nonsense…… but just passing on what my mate told me and also what’s flying around on FB.

Rumours flying around that Rothwell has asked to leave for Bournemouth. The latest rumour is his Mrs wants to move to the south coast. I hope it’s wrong but just passing on what I’ve been told. If it’s true hopefully Rovers stand firm.

I went to the ticket office yesterday to purchase an additional Hull ticket. I was told there have been around 1200 refunded tickets. The original following was 2,900 so at least 1700 still going. Hopefully darrenrover’s 2500 figure is more accurate than the info I was given!

Touché! I’m with Chaddy on this. I want myself and my kids to get on with life, keep going to work / school, keep going to the Rovers and live life as opposed to exist. In my opinion, people clamouring for everyone and everything to lockdown are self absorbed and self centred! If people want to self lockdown and stay at home, that’s their prerogative. Just don’t coerce it on the rest of us who want to crack on with life!
