Do you really belief that the club is financially supported only by the board and not the fans? You're crazy.

I can’t remember the last time we made a signing were supporters think.... fk me we mean business!! It’s turning into the same old.... scrape the barrel and cut costs wherever possible.....Think it was probably billy Sharp, incidentally when john ryan was still here And who's money brought in Billy Sharp?we both know. But it wasn't like JR held a gun to every board members head and forced the signing of sharp was it? it was a collective decision, helped along with the enthusiasm, leadership and ambition of JR. Now we no longer have that, at the very best the club is just about treading water. It's easy to be ambitious with other peoples money.

I think we need a new fans alliance for DRFC where the fans have a voice instead of a site that just pedals the party line driven by the board.
Quote from: Michael Shaw on July 14, 2018, 10:20:26 amWho's money is it? Is it not the fans that buy the kit, and the fans who pay for season tickets, and the fans that go to the matches? But are not expected to have any say because the board and VSC are always right. The fans aren't plugging the £2m deficit that we operate under every year are they?

Ok let's look forward instead of the happy Championship days. The first 6 games we have are Southend, Wycombe, Burton, Shrewsbury, Portsmouth and Peterborough. I'll guess at 6 points max from those games and you can quote me.
SM - it's worth remembering that John Ryan put a huge amount of his own money into the Rovers for years before the KM2 came on board, a far higher proportion of his personal fortune than anyone else has put in. His money just couldn't go far enough once we got to the top end of League One.Why does it so often come to this though? It's like an episode of the Twilight Zone or Groundhog Day. On one side certain posters harking back to how amazing John Ryan was through tinted specs, and then certain others sniping about him in response. I think I'd rather read page after page about the budget...Mind you I'm just as bad given my opening comment here.

Fans won't spend more money at the club, they will spend less if they feel there is no sincere drive and ambition in the club backed up by players that are to the job. Fans can't be expected to go and watch us lose. If they need another 1,00 fans through the door to break even then don't bring in castoffs, drunks and addicts. We averaged a little over 8,000 at home last season I expect it will be nearer 7,000 next season if we don't get off to a better start than 6 points from 6 games.

I don't have to thinly veil anything. If I wish to be critical of the man I will do.But you keep sucking up to him, it suits you.
vaya, I am proud of you. You have progressed from 1 word in your last post to 3 in this one. Even a one year old can string together more than that.
6, wow you're improving.
At every meet-the-owners meeting the board will admit they are businessmen and not football fans. The only football fans we had were John Ryan and Dick Watson. Both have now gone, and naturally Dick's shares have gone to Andrew but that does not mean Andrew is as committed to the club or as much of as fan as his dad was.So the board has lost the passion for football and we are left with the businessmen.Sure we are unlikely to go into liquidation, but if the businessmen can still making money out of Rovers in League Two why should they care?No doubt you will castigate my comments. I don't care because plenty of fans (loyal to DRFC and not the board, manager or players) out there will know I am right.
