Also ideal for a proper raised view disabled section.

We hoof up to Graham too much to be seen as a neat and tidy passing team.

I’m not sure we do look particularly ‘neat and tidy’ usually. We did on Saturday because of one man- Travis.

No timescales unfortunately it was second hand. But next time I see the person in question I’ll try and find out more. But the plans are for what JH describes in his second paragraph.

Heard a rumour yesterday from a decent source that there are plans for it to be knocked down and replaced. Though no bigger capacity wise.

They’ve spent the past 15 years bobbing around the third division and Championship mid table. They aren’t Cloughie’s Forest!

1400 sold. Good effort with 3 away games in 10 days and no trains back and it’s £30.

The thing keeping Armstrong around the team must be his pace (not that he knows how to utilise it), as we are otherwise a painfully slow side.

About 100,000 people watch league football in the north east out of a population of 2.6 million. What a hotbed!

For Boxing Day after a massive marketing drive. Since relegation from the PL they usually have 25,000 to 28,000. In a 49,000 capacity. Old Lancashire is the heartland of the game, not the north east.

When Neal of this parish’s dad ended up chatting to Mowbray after the Wigan debacle. He was fuming and ranting and said ‘we WILL beat Sheff Wed, don’t you worry about that’ Now that may be because Sheff Wed were shite at the time, but it isn’t something you’d hear ‘on the record’. All that matters is that he actually changes things, so the next month will be telling...

I try not to look too deeply into the public comments of managers, he is probably right to avoid publicly roasting the players, if we think back to the anger he showed to Neal’s dad at Wigan tells me it’s a different story behind closed doors. It’s all about action, so it is certainly time to get worried if the likes of Williams, Smallwood and perhaps even Lenihan aren’t replaced over the next few months.

He’s hasn’t generally been terrible, just very raw. However, Norwich was terrible, utterly. First time I started to seriously think we’ve got an issue here.

They usually have around 20,000+ empty seats every week, that just doesn’t fit the narrative of the ‘passionate north east’ (three league clubs in a whole region and we are supposed to marvel at the fact decent numbers go to those 3).

As you say Tom, a lot of the crowd shots were at a totally different match than the game they were showing. I.e they’d be away at Bolton, but it would show fans at the Stadium of Light. Though I suppose, only nerds like us would notice such things!

It’s also the complete opposite of an Allardyce. He delegated a lot of the sessions at the training ground to his coaching staff. But matchday was his domain.

He doesn’t. He’s said before that the senior players ‘run the dressing room’. I can’t say it’s something I ever hear other managers say. ‘I always say to them this is their dressing room, their team, I rarely go in their dressing room’ https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/16980319.tony-mowbray-feels-rovers-have-reason-to-be-optimistic/

The QPR win was a poor performance and our ‘levels’ haven’t recovered since.

It’s simple. A good percentage of those players aren’t good enough if the club wants to progress. The ‘loyalty to those that got us here’ was a laudable approach, though a little over sentimental for my taste, but the upgrades need to now begin in earnest.

1500 seems more realistic.

Thought they weren’t allowed to show red button in pubs anymore? Unless they’ve just bought an ifolllow match pass?

2,500 going according to LT. Personally think they’ve got wrong end of the stick with regards to ‘no tickets being available’, as that was the entire allocation. Some following at that price if true...

Jason Steele was interesting. I heard when he was here that he had a few issues and had regular sessions with a sports psychologist. Seeing him on this shows that he’s a very fragile lad. But christ he makes some ricks.

Fair enough. I can imagine a few local businesses will have taken up a few of the table for 10s

Are you sure? The club, or Kevin Gallagher and the former player association that are putting it on haven’t tweeted that?
