At the end of the day the club has a license for the next 3 seasons, it now has a decent average attendance and the team looks like its the strongest it's been in over 20 years.
As long as the club doesn't get in to the state it did back in the 90s, lets just enjoy it. Fans shouldn't take things so personally and start throwing childish insults, banter is a good thing but actually insulting each other over something so trivial is pathetic. People need to stop being so OTT and start realising whats more important in life.
Rant over
Good post. Anyone ever considered the licences to actually be detremental to club's like Rovers? Rather than have the 10+ years that the likes of hull, wigan, bradford, leeds etc have to get stadia, youth set-up etc up to scratch, we have to do it in 3.
Fair enough it's easy to whinge about it and it's the clubs own fault for falling behind the times in the 1990's, but that doesn't make it any easier. I'm surprised these figures look so good considering what the club has had to lay out in such a short period of time.
At the end of the day, our merchandise and ticket sales have supassed all expected levels at this stage, but so much money has to be invested into the club. If it isn't, we simply wont be in SL in 3 years time.
