It what sense, up for it?

Won't be in Hull, but I do have Sky now, so I don't have to watch on teletext, or search out a RL friendly-pub in Leicester :roll:

and my opinions won't be out of date by a week for a change.
Might try and get to a play-off game though - top 6 guarantees a home tie in at least 1 round, I think.

Loss of £478,341 in 2007 - could take level of debt to £2.9m if so.

More up for it than me! Should come join you in Leicester and enjoy the embarrassment of yet another thrashing away from local surroundings!

Skipping past the joyless discussion of distinctions between Profit/Loss and Balance sheet items, I'm sure we agree this is not sustainable indefinately. Having invested in getting into SL, Rovers now have balance the books. If only the club could come up with a scheme to raise new revenue. :wink:

Just to reinforce the point - 5% interest on a £3M loan or overdraft is £150K a year. About 700 season tickets just to service debt!

Do. The boss is away on a hen do I think, so we can fart, swear and watch the crowd trouble in comfort. I'm taking nothing for granted - think your team will see this as a chance for a bit of redemption.

I've registered both my children, but neither me or my husband will be resgistering simply because we won't have the money to pay for passes before the end of September. So what happens if my kids get an East Stand pass and we can't? Also, the 'special members only' events - will my kids be allowed to go on their own?

I won't go to any of that stuff, you can borrow mine RT.

If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle.

Frederick Douglas
