We’re joint second after 1/3 of the season. Oh what basis is this statement about affordability made? Wasn't it fairly well publicised that Rovers lost a huge whack during their first season back in L1? (Figure I seem to remember was £200k odd) The wage budget may well have been cut and the deficit reduced but I'd be shocked if the Rovers were running anywhere near even. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
As Easterly as it gets!

I really dont see the connection between losing and being full time? Happens all the time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

God yes, we’re about £800k in the red with the last books I saw. That being said, we still have solid attendance and season tickets plus a less expensive team. Thus my question about where the statement about losses comes from, because it is entirely possible that RR are running much closer to even, if not even. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAR Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 The Board planned to breakeven this season but season tickets were about 40 down, there will have been considerable medical bills, plus we have brought in two replacement players. Apart from that there are times when large bills have to be paid that are greater than available funds. Rovers sometimes have to rely on large donors & fundraising. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TxRover Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 But...that’s only about £11,000 down on the tix, some fan cash splashed in on the appeals, plus the silly Cup might pay a bit, it’s not a huge hole so far. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peternapper Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 Our highlights have turned up on our site now, taken from the other side of the ground did not look to be much of a bobble in the lead up to our first, show the bend on the ball for the second well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lang Toun Lad Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 How would you be able to see a bobble from that angle? The view from the other side of the ground is pretty conclusive. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is definitely not brilliant. If you want to win the league I'd be looking in this dept to improve. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
