Personally don’t think AC is ready for the championship yet. He’s young, so he can make it, but not yet.
I genuinely believe the best thing for him next year would be to stay with us.

We’ll get a solid point and the anti Barton brigade will stop posting again for a few weeks

I thought that once you had scanned an e-ticket it was spent at that point. If several people can use the same e-ticket surely that's a fault with the technology that should have an easy fix I think the issue is that people probably scan the ticket, the machine rejects them, and the stewards just let them in assuming it’s a machine error. I say this as I’ve seen it happen before and have always thought “there’s no way they’re checking that ticket!”

The non transferable season ticket thing is silly. If I’m not using my season ticket I’m 100% going to give it to a mate to use if that’s what I want to do!
The rest is fair, I expect most of the language is a scare tactic though. Which is again fair!

Well surely that's what the OP was after? Someone had to say it. He’ll cause even more people to drop out when he causes price hikes due to promotion to the championship! 😉

Not a surprise is it,the costs of putting on a game must have gone up substantially with inflation and energy costs,seems a realistic price . I am not in any way surprised. Most businesses are facing an increase in running costs and they will obviously have to pass some or all of these increases onto the consumer. You just hope that the businesses putting up their prices to cover these increases etc are also passing on some extra money to their staff and not just ensuring their profit margin is intact or expanded. (although in Rovers' case we are some way off breaking even anyway..!!) I’m surprised it isn’t more tbh. They should do some ST bundles with additional perks or exclusive merch etc in.

No matter what you think of Belshaw or Barton, the Belshaw chants were, as the OP says, totally embarrassing.
I'd have backed Balcombe to just boot it into his own net and flip the finger up at those that sang it.

It was sold out for Wycombe in the Blackthorn end as I had been looking out for two tickets to buy for friends that had returned to the UK for that weekend. I had been trying to even get the resale tickets but unable to buy two at the same time it was lucky I didn't in the end as they have since gone back. Ah, didn’t think it’d be sold out. Shows what I know, I don’t keep tabs on this stuff!

The power of advertising as it hasn't been the Blackthorn End for over 10 years! Problem is, I still don’t want a blackthorn!

Think you need to wait for it to be sold, but for me that took very little time (which surprised me) That’s what concerned me. East Terrace rarely sells out so I may well end up watching the game having bought two tickets. The lack of certainty means I probably won’t bother. I see why you'd think that however there's no way the blackthorn sold out for Wycombe, and yet my ticket sold. I was confused by that!

Sorry if this has been covered but if a ST Holder sells their ticket for a certain match do you automatically get an immediate refund (TM credit) or do you need to wait for your ticket to be sold on? My ST is on the East Terrace but I want to go to another part of the ground for the Burton game, I obviously don’t want to give up my ST for nothing to then buy a ticket elsewhere and effectively pay twice for that game. Thanks. Think you need to wait for it to be sold, but for me that took very little time (which surprised me)

Btw nice to see these minutes, an extremely basic but positive thing to do. Unsurprising that stadium progress (if we can call it that) would be confidential. At least it was mentioned!
South stand sounds interesting for sure.

Why has Karim Mardam Bey departure from the board and club only appeared as an after thought at the bottom the published recent minutes of a board meeting two weeks ago. Surely he deserved an announcement from the club in his own right. He was business development director,so is there no more business for the club to develop ? I really don’t think Karim (who joined with Wael because they’re mates) leaving the board is particularly groundbreaking news. They have probably not announced it in a larger way because they expect no one cares or has any idea what he’s been involved in anyway. His main background was marketing fwiw and I believe he was just there to give Wael some oversight as he got to know the club. I expect he’s been involved very little in recent times given we have now built out solid media and sales functions within the club (e.g. Head of sales David).

Think he's staying fit consistently now, hence the potential for a move at his age. Only really in L2 because of his injury record but if he's now past that.. could be a smart pick up imo. A bit early to say he's over his injury issues when he's not even played a competitive game since his ops? Not sure who you're talking about as he's played 22 league games this season including 3 in January alone

Kyle Dempsey from bolton gaining traction still 50/50 but let’s see what’s happens, look out for a certain newcastle player aswell 50/50 to sign one of Bolton's stand out players? No chance - I can't even imagine a scenario in which we've picked up the phone for that one

Bloke is made out of glass and Royal Daulton china... fits the bill perfectly! Think he's staying fit consistently now, hence the potential for a move at his age. Only really in L2 because of his injury record but if he's now past that.. could be a smart pick up imo.

I see Hibs have bid for Jonny Williams at Swindon. Apparently has other EFL interest. Wouldn't be surprised if we looked at that actually.

I know stats aren’t everything but: Loft - 21 apps (8 off bench), 4 goals, 1 assist, performing at 6.6 per game Marquis - 19 apps (8 off bench), 4 goals, 3 assists, performing at 6.5 per game Fairly even. I don't rate either of them - both are clumsy, give away needless fouls usually when we are either defending for our lives or pressing in the final third.... L2 level at best ... We are very lucky to have AC and JC upfront and if either got injured we would be stuffed.... would certainly like a better striker than Loft and Marquis in the match day squad. I want to like both of them I really do just don't think they bring enough to the side. I like both Marquis and Loft. Loft, especially before his injury, was playing like a man possessed. I think he offers something very specific and does a good job of it - maybe not so much in the last few games.
