Closed for maintenance today… probably shirts on their way Thank you for the the non exclusive info I wanted to know when open what are the opening times ? You could have googled the opening times in less time than it took you to ask your original question and post your snarky reply. Dude was just trying to be helpful.

He has always been a nasty bastard and this will never change. Who knows why we took him on as manager, the middle east has no morals so perhaps that helped the scouse sh** getting the job. Lock him up and throw away the key, as long as its not a womans prison. The middle east has no morals? Are you sure about that statement?

Rearrange these words into a phrase: Pot. Haven’t. water. In. Got. A. Same as it ever was. One day we’ll wake up and demand more from our custodians, but until that day we are probably at our current peak of expectation. We are running at a nearly 4M loss and you expect more??

Jim Chappell black balled me after I called him out for supporting Masters and the PC in the accusation that Wael was grooming children in his exec box as well as the other misinformation that used to spew from that little clique. I've not got the time or inclination to get involved again now. So why wasn't the Police or social services ever notified?. It is a mandatory requirement to contact them for child protection. Even if people got an ' inkling' it is everybody's responsibility to safeguard children. This is a very serious accusation which everyone on this forum would want to be addressed. I never knew this caused the ' fallout'. I think they were notified and it was found to be utter bollocks. That's my recollection from the time but I'm happy to be corrected.

In fairness 4 of those articles refer to one person and a fifth to someone signed by that person. Might need a little help with the PR, some would suggest. Solved the root cause others might suggest.

Can blame whomever you want, argue whatever you want, but it happened Given it happened, how come there is no apology for any offence caused from the club? Like that is a 2 second job We are a PR disaster every other day/week it seems. Still time for Netflix to get in touch.

Surely the "normal" in that statement refers to tickets and not people. But let's not let that get in the way of giving the Tommy Gulag a kicking. Very poorly worded then, referring to "disabled fans", "normal fans" and "older fans". That wasn't how I read it. I think the intention was to say concession tickets and normal tickets. I can understand how it's been misunderstood, but I don't think that was the intention and frankly, I don't believe the SC do either. The sensible course of action would have been to double check the intent (if there was any ambiguity) not just publish it knowing it made someone look a twat. Unless the intention was to make someone look a twat. I'm no Gorringe fan, but I think he's been deliberately misrepresented here.

Surprised if the ladies team will play that many games on it. As regards the pitch, I thought it was pretty decent at the end of the season after all the rain on it. Apparently being ripped up this week or next and the top four inches being replaced and seeded. Ready to cut in a few weeks according to MT. He said one pitch had already be done at the quarters last week and the other one this coming week. 40 home games at home? Blimey. Add in away fixtures and the Gas Girls will be playing twice a week all year!!??

I struggled to list 3 positives about the club. I didnt! The community trust and work in the community in general bringing back the gas girls and attracting more families We own our ground and have plans to improve it for all. Would normallty add "our fans" but not so sure these days. Dont get me wrong, listed lots of things to improve and negatives too. But not sure we all need to be quite so down as many seem right now. The CT and Gas Girls were the 2 I listed

Lots of posters saying they don't support Taylor and won't be renewing their season tickets. Some of them were the same ones giving out at those who refused to back Barton. Where are all the "get behind the manager" brigade when you want them? a lot of posters also said they wouldn't go to games whilst Barton was here but we had sell outs nearly every game, I don't believe a word of it. I don't either.

Where are all the "get behind the manager" brigade when you want them? In fairness you said you would have sacked him in the recent poll 👍🏾 Yep and then changed my mind! I'm still mostly undecided. My point still stands though. My position has always been that everyone has something that tips them against a manager at some point but I was told that we should back the manager no matter what.

The prospect of a MT squad overhaul terrifies me. He made a complete pig’s ear of Rotherham’s squad last summer, signing a load of over-the-hill crocks. He is blamed by many for Rotherham’s shocking season. I also vividly remember his speech to the Rovers players when he arrived about how good the squad was and that’s why he took the job etc. Does this guy know a decent player when he sees one? I’m not convinced. Seen this a few times. Somebody made it up and then everyone uses it as fact. I double checked earlier and at least 50% of messages on Twitter when he was sacked, said he should have been given more time and that they could see what he was doing. Over the hill? Only two players signed in the summer were in their 30s. One was 30 and the other was 31. That's way over the hill!!! They have the smallest budget by far in the championship and last season was smaller than some League 1 clubs including Plymouth who went up with not that biggest budget. They had an injury crisis and had to sign that player we had on trial and start him straight away. His time there wasn't as bad as many make out on here. They were expected to finish bottom. He left them third from bottom with an injury hit squad. He might be rubbish for us, but stop making stuff up and saying stuff happened that didn't. Hush you, with your facts and reasonable thinking. We don't like your sort round here.

Monotone has been telling everybody and anybody who would listen that all the players are frail and its not his fault that during the past six months he has been unable to get a squeak of a tune out of them; finally after taking another walloping at the hands of the high flying Wigan last Saturday, he sticks his head out of his shell claiming by the order of the peaky Gasheads the retained list would be published today, ffs he cannot even deliver list of names on a scrappy piece of paper. The irony of name calling “monotone Matt” when every one of your posts reek of the same tone. Peter Pooper is much more boring than Taylor.

That is what I think MT is being asked to do. How do you think he can do that ? I believe our current (players) annual wage bill is £7m+ and if MT has to save 25%, that is £1.75m+. If we believe the rumours that Finley was on £4k per week, Marquis on £5k and Martin on £6k, that is only £0.75 million saved. Pure guesses - Collins, Gordon, Hoole, Sinclair, J Grant, Rossiter, Gibbons, Jones & Greenslade total £25k a week, or £1.25m in a year. Plus probably some savings on back room staff So, if all of the out of contract players leave, he would have £250k (or £5k per week) to offer as wages to additions. I'm sure my numbers aren't exact, but it certainly shows the scale of the challenge he has, unless he can ship some relatively high earners, under-performers out. Answers on a postcard as to how he works that miracle A smaller squad that is actually capable of 40 odd games a season would be a start. Half the first team in the treatment room is money wasted and we have to get extra cover and loan players in to cover them, effectively meaning we are paying 2 wages per starting position.

But Taylor had a window and brought in more midfielders and no strikers despite that being an obvious problem. Taylor also has persisted picking Brown, effectively setting us up with 10 men. Yes, some of the squad appear to have downed tools but it's Taylors job to sort that. Unfortunately he was told to pick Brown by the hierarchy as they were hoping to sell him in the summer 😂😂 Is that for real???
