Season Tickets 2024/25

Don't bet on it. However I'm not sure Waggot has done much wrong. It's no good lashing out blindly without knowing the facts.

Well they are the people who should be giving us the facts!
If as you say TM was sacked - who by?
If we have fucked up 3 consecutive windows - who did that?
If we had sold the CatA Acadamy as was proposed - who sanctioned that?
If JDT is the devil in disguise - who employed him?
Who employed Eustace? Because from where I'm looking he is doing a pretty awful job?
Who let BBD leave for free?
I could go on and on
So yea toppo job SW and GB!!

 

[Old Darwen Blue]

I’m a bit confused, yes I know, Waggott said at the time of Eustaces appointment that he was his selection although to my knowledge no other candidates were considered. Broughton however has recently been in the press saying Eustace was his idea?

Waggot used to be an agent.
#justsaying

 

[Drog]

Eustace was in like flynn asap Tomasson left indicating to me that they had known that JDT was on his way out and when. As for agent? Thay do say that poachers make the best gamekeepers.

 

[Drog]

I'll have a go at answering your questions but I'd have thought you could have guessed most of the answers.

Well they are the people who should be giving us the facts! How many businesses give out any details of their operation?
If as you say TM was sacked - who by? Seems likely it was someone in Pune but that is just my guess.
If we have fucked up 3 consecutive windows - who did that? Broughton has held his hand up to that but also the alleged actions of the Indian govt should be taken into account.
If we had sold the CatA Acadamy as was proposed - who sanctioned that? No idea but Real Madrid sell their training grounds on expensive land and open new ones regularly.
If JDT is the devil in disguise - who employed him? Again I've no idea.
Who employed Eustace? Because from where I'm looking he is doing a pretty awful job? Probably Waggott with cosultation in Pune.
Who let BBD leave for free? Couldn't stop him. No one can force a player to sign another contract and certainly not when they have been tapped up. It was the same with Rothwell and Lenihan and is likely going to happen with Gallagher and Dolan.
I could go on and on
So yea toppo job SW and GB!!

Simple question then

Who is the CEO?
Where does the buck stop?
You believe TM was the dogs bollocks - yet the man you say is doing a good job - let him go

Tell me about his successes - I struggle to see any and for the main part he is absent

If he is just a talking head - I'll do it for £50kpa - why pay a spiv £300kpa

 

[Drog]

Again waggott is a hired hand, a front man. Even though it's dangerous to assume anything I'm assuming most top level decisions come from Pune.
On the other hand Steve you appear to be assuming that every decision has a hidden and sinister agenda.

That’s because historically proven it probably is.

When the f**k are ST’s on sale?

Given the TV deal for 2024/25 with at least 20 of our games
live on telly why bother…….it is better buying match by match.

I think they were waiting for the announcement by sky pal. We will be on tv at least 20 times they say. It will be interesting to see if Waggott puts the prices up.

 

[Barmitzvah Boy]

I guess the failure to put ST’s on sale suggests free entry next season paid for by Sky TV

For all those fans suggesting if we half our ST prices we will double our ST sales you are in cloud cuckoo land. What drives sales is performances on the pitch. If we gave away tickets for free we would still struggle to get 10k turning up.

 

[Barmitzvah Boy]

Another day without ST’s on sale. What a joke. I understand proposals were ready weeks ago and all the Club were doing was waiting until we found out which league we were in before they were announced.

The continued delay suggests the proposals have been rejected by the V’s. This does not help Rovers already heavily tainted image.

 

[Old Darwen Blue]

Venkys out

 

[goozburger.]

I suspect this is the Board's doing. Waiting for sign-off, presumably by the owners, or themselves when they get a spare minute.

 

[goozburger.]

For once, I'm right about something!

The finer details are being signed off in India and that has been the delay.

Article: Lancashire Telegraph

My finer details.
Season Ticket Adult £200 in Blackburn End and Riverside.
Season Ticket Adult £300 in Walkersteel Stand. Concessions Half-Price ( Over 65 and children up to 18)
This is for 23 Home Games and if any are televised by Sky then season ticket holder can bring an adult for half price or a free child up to 18.

 

[Old Darwen Blue]

Anyone know what our sky share will be?

 

[Barmitzvah Boy]

Anyone know what our sky share will be?

The Championship receives 70% of £935M over 5 years. An uplift of about 48% on last season.

Clubs will no longer be able to show and sell the £10 match passes. That means either Sky Sports, Now TV or like me a dodgy channel.

Rovers will use the extra money to pay the bills as we move towards the sustainability model (IE. bog all money from the V’s).

 

[Drog]

And all Championship players and their agents will bang on the table and demand more money until it's all gone. Football is a disastrous business model as Alan Sugar pointed out with his prune juice theory.

 

[goozburger.]

To make matters worse, the parachute payments for relegated clubs are increasing by several millions pounds. The Premier League are simply not interested in a solution with the English Football League.

Don't expect football to be fixed any time soon. In fact, expect the Super League stuff to be revived, or FIFA's working group that is looking into playing domestic ties abroad.

Please please bring the Super League and get those greedy barstewards out of the equation.
