elhombrecito Posted July 30, 2023 Report Share Posted July 30, 2023 I do find the difference between our two sets of fans to be quite fascinating. The smallest thing happens at City and you'll get people on here claiming that the club are an absolute shambles and that somebody needs to be held accountable. However, up north, the 15ers have managed to sell season tickets for a stand that doesn't exist, and if it ever will exist, will not be ready for several months at best, but there's barely any criticism of the club at all. Brainwashing is the word that springs to mind. Or maybe Stockholm Syndrome is more accurate... 6 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make a noise over there and they get called a Ted and told to go to Trashton. Their fans hold them back as much as their leadership does.

The Mod responded that they don't have the time to read every post. Which is amazing, because they only get about 10 posts a day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Open End Numb Legs Posted July 30, 2023 Report Share Posted July 30, 2023 1 hour ago, Midlands Robin said: Without the South and South East tents and no replacement yet to be constructed I think they must have dipped under the minimum ground requirements. The mandate for any club entering the league is after 3 years (2018 for them) the ground must have a minimum capacity of 5000 with a minimum seated capacity of 2000. The west and east stands have 750 and 1100 respectively and I think they took down those bus shelter tents they built over the terracing. The solution then is to relegate them from the EFL to non league? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea of the relevance of what it is for and in no way mocking the charity, it’s just so unfortunate with what is going on at Rovers at the moment that they have a unicorn in a Rovers shirt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brainwashing is the word that springs to mind. Or maybe Stockholm Syndrome is more accurate... Aint that the truth. This quote from a mug on their forum sums it up in response to one of the very few people on there who dared to say the situation and the way the club have acted is embarrassing; "Not embarrassed in the slightest. Not sure why I should be. As always it’s no doubt all in hand by those that matter & the rest is a ridiculous forum frenzy born out of “I think/I reckon/I heard” They have their heads in the sands, others blaming BCC, a lot saying nothing to worry about, a couple calling out the club but being shouted down.

Lanterne Rouge Posted July 30, 2023 Report Share Posted July 30, 2023 It speaks volumes that no-one official from their club has made any sort of statement one way or the other since this news broke in the media. They are ****** and they know they are. Crisis mode in Wally`s office tomorrow no doubt. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chairman Mao Posted July 30, 2023 Report Share Posted July 30, 2023 (edited) It never ceases to amaze me how shit Rovers are. Its a club in a big wealthy city with a decent potential. Instead they continue to be run by utter morons and play in a stadium resembling a studio mock up of Chernobyl.
