I love the ad free experience! Thanks

I went to a midweek night match at Plymouth. We used a hire car and two drivers. Left the Halfway House at Samlesbury around 1:30pm and arrived in Plymouth over an hour before ko, M5 didn't go all the way then either. Had a couple of pints in a village pub then hammered it back. All at work in the morning too 🤣

Indeed it would and does.

Not true, but I'm used to that. I stated average gates as justification.

Sorry, I should have checked the numbers, post corrected now.

That's an interesting question. A company I worked for became insolvent when rules regarding the reporting of pension fund deficiencies changed. The board immediately declared the insolvency along with a valid plan to resolve the issue. I can't believe it applies to football clubs because most/many are trading whilst insolvent. Why should they be different?

Thanks, I withdraw my comment. I'm not a wum or being obtuse. The prices are ludricous, especially when all other prices are escalating in a generally impoverished area. I repeat, why can't we, as a group, come up with an entirely convincing case and put it to the Rovers board? If it's a good case but ignored we should put it to the owners. I know what we generally think of the board and the owners but it's a multi million pound business and someone there should be interested and care. If not perhaps the press would be interested and help shame the board and/or owners. Anything is better than going over the same stuff day after day?

Those are examples, not evidence. Average gates show both clubs are better supported. We need evidence, if it exists, that price is the real reason. My only question is how we can get that evidence.

With respect, and you don't deserve it, they are nothing like case studies. Good examples though, along with the Hull City one.

Thanks, that's more like it, the rest of your post was drivel. I'm not and have never indicated in any way that I support the price of Rovers season tickets, quite the contrary. It seemed like lots of effort had been put in to show that we could gain by reducing prices and I was looking for the evidence. You don't seem to have any idea what constitutes evidence.

I never said they were and didn't know there were active case studies at similar local clubs. Can you point me in their direction?

Nonsense, nothing like proof. Ah, the trolling comment is commonly used for difficult questions or opinions. Let me put it another way ..... What would it take to convince Waggot that this needs looking at? I believe there's sufficient interest and expertise on here to define the questions and the answers. Perhaps the fans forum could submit the evidence.

Yes they really should know!

I don't see how another, better supported, team is proof of what Rovers can do. I assumed that after so many comments on the subject there was likely to be evidence to prove the theory. I really should have known better.

I didn't say that

Agreed but as many as 4k?

🥱

Indeed it isn't. Do we have any evidence to support the theory that knocking £100 off our price will add another 4k+ season ticket holders?

The LET reporting Dacks wedding last Saturday. He soon fell from the BRFCS front page.

Like I said, fair enough, it's a turn off for me.
