TBH, the money is obviously a massive help to the club, but IMO I couldn't give a to$$ if you lot come or not, so long as I am there and at the KC as well to get behind my team, thats all that matters to me. You could play your home derby on the land fill site off the A63 and I would attend, not because I want to give FC money or I like the aroma of rotting rubbish, more simply to support the lads in the team.

I assume you weren't one of the Rovers fans that were going to boycott the game at the KC because your club wanted 50% of the takings then? This was before you got into SL IIRC so you may not be aware of it



For someone who couldn't give a to$$ if we come or not you sure seem to have talked about it alot.

I went to all the friendlies, the split is up to the clubs to deal with, I just pay my money and go and watch, I leave the politics to the ones who are running the clubs.

I join debates on here, of course, but at the end of the day I am quite happy to see your lads run out to hardly any support leaving all the noise in support of Rovers. I just find some of the excuse not to come pathetic thats all, the individual makes their own mind up on where they spend their money, I happen to choose to spend mine supporting Rovers. Lets face it, if any of the FC who whine are from the pre-KC days, they shouldn't mind having a little bit of wind etc occasionally, I have been following Rovers since 1963 and would say that the majority of that time has been spent in less than luxurious settings (ask some of your lot what the Boulevard was like

)

I dont think anyone complained about the rain/wind or weather in general or having to stand for that matter. We happily put up with that at most away grounds, indeed I prefer to stand at a rugby game. We always take a large number of away fans to grounds that are, overall, worse than CP. If you are going to continue to ignore the reasons people have actually given and just invent your own in order to somehow claim to be a superior super fan we might as well leave it there.

That makes perfect sense to me. Getting the temp stand covered (like quins have) would be another good move.

However I do reckon we'll still suffer from a lack of decent seats for home fans (not everyone wants to stand) and we'd appeal to more families and older folk if we could get more seats.

I wonder if extending the millward stand at each end would be cheaper or more costly than building a new stand?

Maybe a stupid question, but how are these people getting in for free? Forged tickets?

i dont thinkn its the best plan to announce it on a forum how to do it. and thinking about it even a computerised thingy probably would't stop it. it is so easy its unreal

I have not paid to get into the KC stadium since it opened for eithr City or FC games.

I do now however have a legitimate way to get into FC games which stops me having to dash about in catering lifts

And before anyone says it, no i dont get in for free, which i can verify from a member on here, but it is a simple, pathetic effort that is easy to solve

Is Hudge giving tickets to his mates in Salthouse?

i'm being serious. it is so easy. but yet simple to stop. but if i know 2 who do it how many actually do???

There are loads geting in for free that I know of. There were quite a few using a scam by going through Robins Nest but I think they have found another way in now.

Not to mention all the ex players getting in for nart



Does anyone actually pay? No wonder Special Club 2010 is not selling, nobody has the need for a season ticket these days

don't reckon ther will be the 380 or whatever it was, but there will still be too many. stop cutting my posts to make me look a div.

Read Hudgie's programme notes from Sat.
That might give you a few clues.

Make you look a div??.....time you changed your sig son

Has he hired snipers?




I checked before, you are still a valued friend on facebook, please dont panic, there will be no further culls until at least Christmas.

Pleased to hear it

didnt buy a programme, what was said

I did, but it hasn't arrived yet, so I second this plea.

It went along the lines of happy to gain results on the field at the moment then attempt to have a Grade A Licence.
The bit about 10 years of monopoly being over and clubs having subsidised 1st class facilities was quite interesting.

Yet last year Rovers press release accompanying their franchise application committed to a capacity of 14,000 by February 2010. Change your declared targets when the original ones are impossible to achieve - genius. Still at least we'll be able to assess the progress on the solvency criteria in September. And the homegrown players one with you having brought 1 player through to the first team as you go into your 4th season. Next thing you know you'll be scrabbling round the lower leagues for ex players trying to meet the homegrown quota.

Recent results from the academy and u21's seem to suggest that we are doing ok in the development stakes, hopefully that 'one' player will become 3 or 4 next year.

Thanks for the concern

Same s**t, different day!
