I suppose another issue to throw into the mix is that this is the start of a transition to an all seater stadium as the Mem is redeveloped. I agree entirely that the club should be attracting new supporters of all ages but particularly children. In addition different ways of financing the purchase of S/T’s should always be available. Perhaps there should also be a scheme where if you have purchased S/T’s continuously over a long period then you would be rewarded with a significant discount. Another possibility is to offer a certain number of S/T’s for children at a very competitive and attractive price. It could not be open ended because we do not have a large enough capacity. In spite of all the issues raised I think we will sale more S/T’s because of the South Stand. 6 of us have renewed in the South Stand today. 3 of us renewed this morning. Transfer from Thatchers end to South Stand. Last season £199, this time £249. Fifty quid extra to sit down. Happy days. Same here - bargain!

I wonder if anyone at the club will be reading these pages? Will there be a realisation they’ve made a massive mistake and misread the fanbase? Surely this is where the Fan Directors come into their own - or am I being naive? They, if they still exist, must raise these issues with whoever is making these decisions and raise all the legitimate concerns raised. If they do and are not listened to then what is the point of their role?

That is pretty impressive Board at Brighton. Would love to see some names and experience like that at Rovers. What do you mean , we got Tommy G from them ! And look at their current CEO compared to ours: www.brightonandhovealbion.com/news/1245354

Just wondering, do other clubs share their in-depth business plans with supporters? I have no idea how these things usually work. Firstly, no one is asking for in-depth plans. Just a brief statement about how they see us achieving championship status. Loads of clubs do share their vision. Brentford, P'boro, Oxford are just 3 clubs that have come to my mind whereby they communicated how they were going to progress. DMAC takes it one step further and does a monthly podcast and is fully transparent with goings on at the club. For example, take a look at our board of directors. Who is in charge of what? What daily responsibilities do they carry? What is their background? Who do they answer to in the overall structure? Are they able to communicate any improvements directly to us or the SC? Does anyone have any idea what Abdullatif or Tom does now? What about Wael, does he have any input? Who is Abdulaziz Alroomi? Who does he do? Who is Khaled Alkandari? What does he do. Look at Brighton www.brightonandhovealbion.com/club/club/whos-whoYou cant just assume on face value we are going to get to the champ because Hussain has said it’s a goal. It’s no different to me saying I am going to buy Bristol Rovers in 3 years. With no plan or means of execution it’s just words. That is pretty impressive Board at Brighton. Would love to see some names and experience like that at Rovers.

You bunch of lightweights I remember the toilets at Twerton Now they were proper third world UTG The ones at the back of the Tote End weren’t exactly state of the art but at least they were open to the elements iirc so had the benefit of some fresh air.

Anyone else feel a little sorry for them tonight? Hmmm, let me think - no

Posted the below on the rebuild for next season thread but it’s relevant to last night. This is bloke who has had a career, just come off a promotion in front of 15,000 every week and doesn’t really want to do it anymore. We need hungry captains all over the pitch, he ends it with “we have to keep on trying and see where we are” not re play offs, anything, just see where we are! He doesn’t hurt enough, he can’t stay fit either, I ask everyone to compare him to Tony Craig at the end of his career for us. x.com/official_brfc/status/1755010780150296758?s=48&t=bhN6HOKs1kzYSj3KfeKg9QThought that was a shocking interview. The most uninspiring since the one from the awful Max Ehmer. Certainly doesn’t come across as a strong leader. How I wish for another Tony Craig. .

You would hope that Jamie McAllister will have good contacts north of the border.

Considering he signed just the day before and is only 20, it was an incredibly impressive debut.
And listening to his post match interview he is clearly an intelligent, articulate and very likeable young man.
What a future he has in store and delighted we will be seeing some of it.
Congrats to MT and team for bringing him to us.

A thought Cox was called into the U21 squad for 2025 European U21 Championship qualifiers in October and November 2023 he has been replaced by a better keeper…. In my opinion, we need to secure Jed very long term as he is not the finished article yet. BUT has a great future in the game. It’s not beyond fantasy, that there will be clubs looking at him at a higher level if he keeps performing like this. Well done Jed, it’s very early days and consistency is the answer. You were once again great today! UTG That just sums up international football? What's the betting Collins gets a Wales call up now he's at a bigger club? Hopefully we have a bonus fee if he does get an international call up.

Anyone else having terrible buffering issues? Yes I did - kept buffering for a few seconds then came back. Really annoying.

No cox in squad to keep the newbies happy! Finley missing Assumed he would be the one to miss out if all five other loan players were in the squad but I only spot four so surprised he’s not on the bench. Edit, I thought Vaughan was some youth player not the one from Hull! So did I! Completely forgot about the Vaughan signing.

Got this from a Tractorboy on Twitter: Very tall, strong in the air. He's very composed for a lad of his age. Comfortable with the ball at his feet. Definitely good enough for League 1 level. Need an attacking player not another defender ffs 😜 Need both tbh

We got £750k for Ellis Harrison from Ipswich ffs. Collins should surely be worth more than that, given ability + market inflation. Ellis was massively overpriced at 750k in my opinion. I was amazed we got that sort of money for him. At the same time, Summer 2018, Ipswich paid £1 - 1.25m for Kayden Jackson from Accrington whose track record wasn’t as good as Ellis’s imo. At the time I thought we were short changed. Ellis hasn’t done much since admittedly but neither has Jackson - 24 league goals since 2018.
