Cider_boy Posted December 21, 2019 Report Share Posted December 21, 2019 4 hours ago, Eddie Hitler said: The key difference is that City fans do that and your fans don't. This oddly is taken as a badge of pride by Rovers' fans who see themselves as super loyal compared to the fickle teds. Sometimes you need a change of ownership. I'm very happy with the City board but I don't see why the Rovers' fans are so passive when their board is running up debts of £3m a year against the ground. City is making much bigger losses (£25m operating losses, this year offset by £36m profits on player sales) but these are being regularly converted to equity (= written off when you already own 95% of the club) and all small shareholders were offered their full money back last month with many of them, including me, taking that. You wouldn't get anything like that offer for your supporters club shares. Rovers' fans are like frogs being slowly boiled; when the club loses its ground and starts "temporarily" renting at Twerton or The Lawn will there be "sack the board" protests even then? What will it take? Playing in the Downs League and operating out of a garden shed; keeping yourselves warm on a winter's day by hugging tight around you your supreme loyalty compared to them gurt fickle teds playing in the Premiership in their state of the art stadium. The way their 'crowds' are dwindling, there won't be any fans left to protest by the time they would get round to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really surprised by this because, trying to be as unbiased as possible, I think it’s actually a very good appointment by the sags. Very inexperienced but he’s rated really highly by a lot of top managers. Think it’s a much better appointment than a Nathan Jones or a Hollowhead would’ve been. In terms of realism for the sags, I think this is genuinely the best appointment they could’ve made. Ben Garner, if he lands the plum job, was working in India with Coppell, it seems. Can't decide if that makes him Agent Garner or the bloke to avenge whatever went wrong with Copps & finally put the Gas in their rightful place above us. Or maybe he became interested in saving endangered species in India. Certainly some scope at the Mem. Those crisps for a start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

City fan 1982 Posted December 21, 2019 Report Share Posted December 21, 2019 With rovers hoof ball style of football seeing them in the top 6 of a piss poor league , leads me to wonder if they were to get promoted , would it financially cripple them ? I know they’ve needed gates if circa. 10 k every week to break even , but with a promotion in turn means higher players wages albeit with the same gates every week !
