Fair enough. Others are saying fans should be prepared to splash out more to help the club. It can't be both; if the club isn't a charity fans shouldn't be expected to be donating "charitably", and it becomes all about value for money. Football at our level is never a value for money proposition. Possibly not at any level. Going to the Kino vs going to the Odeon for entertainment is about value for money. Watching your football team isn't. It's about things like local pride, tribalism, heritage, belonging etc. It's not sausages you're buying. Agreed, I'm not arguing one way or another. Whereas some folk will back the club whatever the ST prices (acting charitably towards the clubyou might say) others find them challenging their finances too much and decide their money has higher priorities. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been going too long Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 On the season tickets my two bobs worth, I bought one for my son and I , yeah I’m not making a great saving but for me it’s about supporting the club, don’t think the price is too bad and adults are certainly paying a part of the kids tickets which I think is a good thing to get the youngsters of the Lang toun down supporting the club in greater numbers. The young team were doing good things in creating an atmosphere and encouraging there pals to come along so cheaper tickets will help with that. Hopefully some keep coming as adults and there kids etc. Heard there was another closed door game to give the trialists a run out, anyone heard any rumours? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bounce game with all young lads, the club looking to sign up to 7 of them… not sure if are running a youth set up or reserves this season but certainly sounds like there gearing up towards that end. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not questioning the reason for hibs selling out their allocation more the possible reason for actually selling tickets to hibs for a 1000 attendance may be a reflection on the poor take up from our side for a player who is deserving of 1000 home supporters Edited July 5, 2021 by Rovers_Lad 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

basher brash Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 To be honest Davo divides the Rovers support which may have an impact on sales but who knows, regarding season tickets I’ve renewed this season again but it may not be suitable for everyone’s finances but you have to ask yourself one question if your wanting the rovers to compete in a very competitive league you have to pay the wages which sadly comes at a cost or would most punters rather be kicking about the relegation zone this season 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
