To be fair, the fairgrounds kit will probably be better quality and a lot more substantial. Doubt that they'd want to take that crap with them..

Knowing the rovers penchant for stealing grounds maybe John lock and son better check all their kit is properly accounted for before leaving Chernobyl.

Bazooka Joe Posted March 12, 2020 Report Share Posted March 12, 2020 21 hours ago, Gert Mare said: Had another chat to the Mackem lad in work that attended last night’s game at Chernobyl. He said that behind the terrace where he was stood was some bits of tarpaulin, wire and some old white plastic garden chairs. He turned to his mate and said “Hardly Premier League this is it?” He said the toilets were all Portaloo’s. When I told him that they turned one into Santa’s Grotto he didn’t believe me, so I showed him the evidence. He was creasing! I explained it was just one of many gifts that Rovers present us with which is why they are known as the Gift That Keeps On Giving. When someone mentioned Rovers later in the day he said, “Who? The Gift?” Proof if proof be needed that Wally has splashed the cash. And he's got the receipt for the £13.06p he spent at Home Bargains, to prove it.

Losing 65k per week. Now loss of gate receipts will bump that up to £65.5k per week. It'll hardly affect them. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bazooka Joe Posted March 13, 2020 Report Share Posted March 13, 2020 (edited) Coronavirus Update: Rovers will be permitted to play all their home games as scheduled, as their attendances are considerably lower than the crowd exemption limit. However, its likely Garner's "massive fine" will bankrupt them. Edited March 13, 2020 by Bazooka Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What revenue was that? Seriously though, with Wally still unwilling to put his hand in his pocket, this could spell the end of the Sags along with a few more clubs who are living on the edge.

They must have made significant progress on the construction as Wael announced many months ago that it would be finished within two years, and he’s apparently ‘so nice’ so he surely wouldn’t mislead the sag ‘hordes’ - would he?! After all, as they keep telling the world, they’ve ‘outgrown the mem’ ...half full = outgrown, sounds reasonable! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
