  1. I’m dreading trying to sort a replacement for my season ticket. No idea where it is after 18 months and imagine many will be similar and anticipate a bit of chaos on Saturday trying to collect replacements
  2. Barnsley have signed a young striker from France, hardly set the world on fire on his travels but it shows a level of imagination that we are lacking
  3. Rhodes is going to Bolton and Venkys are selling up in 2016
  4. 1. Will Steve Waggott still be at Rovers on 1/7/22 ? If no, date of departure. no - will leave 1st October 2. Will Tony Mowbray still be manager on 1/2/22 ? If no, date of departure. no - will leave 1st November 3. Rovers Player of the Season 21/22 ? Travis 4. Where will Rovers finish the season ? 17th 5. Who will be championship winners ? West Brom
  5. Never mind him saying if he has to miss a few days training a week to play at weekend then that’s fine! No pressure on Ayala, take a few days off a week mate
  6. Looks great, nice to see the formal handover and huge thanks to @Glenn @Ste B @Biddy @cn174 and co, superb guys and gals Also happy to increase the Ads, my salary doesn’t pay itself here!
  7. Great start for Macron Two lovely kits, best in a long time
  8. I think the purpose of the fans forum is often forgotten, it was always about the non business critical issues, a cross section of fans to gauge feedback on certain aspects of fans experiences. The issue is the atmosphere around the club and the situation we find ourselves in now makes these things seem overly trivial. It’s good to discuss the ‘temperature of pies’ when we are pushing for Europe, less so in the era of Kean, nefarious agents and absent owners and a spiral down the leagues. The fans had a chance to put some hard hitting questions to the club and did so at fan consultation meetings and the club are playing a blinder in using the pandemic to hide away from having to face that. My experience was always that the forum is full of good, honest people that really do care about the club and when dealing with Finn, Williams and Greg Coar you would get honest answers and actions but with Waggott it really does seem to be ‘I’ll look into it’
  9. She’s alright. She’s no Wendy though
  10. RONNIE FUCKING PICKERING
  11. Gambling is one that always worries me. I think because I can see how easy it would be to fall down the rabbit hole into danger, it doesn’t need a cataclysmic event to start it just a bit of fun followed by chasing a loss, the next double or nothing could recover it all etc I hate how ingrained it is in football as well, full on back to back adverts and sponsorships but ‘when the fun stops, stop’ but at the same time place 4 more £5 bets this week for a FREE bet! Anyway that’s off topic but huge thanks to @JacknOry for opening up, a hugely brave and powerful action and a moving, sad and empowering story
  12. Love it and love the extra effort and non generic design
  13. Bloody hell if we are in the market for the player Tom Trybull is replacing its panic stations!
  14. Sad to hear and glad he’s talking about it, never warmed to him here he often looked like he couldn’t be assed and this shows that there was a lot going on there
  15. Shrewsbury have given everyone that renewed last year a voucher for a free drink or food item on the concourse for every home game Nice touch
  16. Defo think we’ll get a Brereton Diaz kit reveal tomorrow Would be amazed if they don’t capitalise on Breromania with free Brereton Diaz 22 shirt printing and cheap overseas postage as well
  17. They’ll be spinning his return as ‘like a new signing’
  18. We’ve heard nothing but my dad went to renew ours this morning, I have a 10 year old and a 5 year old. For as long as I can remember the under 8 tickets have been free but it’s not anymore - no idea why you would take that away to be honest it feels incredibly short sighted Not getting her one now as she won’t get to many games
  19. They should get Bradley Dack and Brereton to leave a voicemail on every number they have doing their best Del Boy and Rodney I remember (although evidently not all that well) answering the call to a recording of Sparky (or was it Sam) asking me to renew my ticket One year that even gave me a squad number via post!
  20. Let’s be honest how many of the 87 were football manager bedroom hopefuls? It was pretty predictable however that it would end up being a mate of Mowbray
  21. At 21 Nyambe had made 97 appearances for us, was a first team regular and earned a new, improved contract. He had 100% established himself and broke through. Still raw; maybe but that wasn’t the point discussed. On Butterworth I remember the last game of the season a couple years back when he and Buckley came on, he looked by far the better prospect then so hopefully he can have a clean run of fitness
  22. Nyambe absolutely had made his mark and broken through at 22, he may be a better player now but he’s currently 23 and has made 153 appearances for us. Not saying Butterworth won’t come good but Nyambe made his debut at 18 and has been a championship (and league 1) regular ever since, you can’t compare the two Edited to add David Raya also made his debut at 19, became the first choice keeper a year or so later then departed for big money at 23 with 98 appearances
  23. I wonder if the kit is still on the roof from Umbro’s genius reveal campaign last season
  24. It’s weird I went to the ewood concourse sale a couple of weeks back and when I was paying heard a chap (who I believe to be Warren Lucy going off his voice) talking to the retail manager saying he’d seen something in the flesh and it was majestic. I assumed he was referring to the kit and a teaser or reveal was imminent but nothing since
