its not strange really is it, theyve under performed (to put it nicely) for the last couple of seasons, and now theyve finally put it right, IMO thats what a good board should be looking to do,
its always going to be hard for Rovers to compete finacially with Hull, as you stated we have to look after our own ground, and we get less fans through the gates, hopefully this east stand ext will help out money wise.

I dont think they have put it altogether right on the playing side of things although their squad has improved on paper.

Not heard this before now, or are you wishing (especially the Mills bit)

if your board had looked after the money that they had from the sale of the old craven park then you wouldn't be in s**t street. you could have been making ground improvements over the years so that it didn't look like a gypsy camp. But then again half you lot wouldn't have even set foot in the old ground

Just out of interest, does your user name allude to the fact that you're 36 years old?
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.

I wasn't trying to be funny, just that as a poster with which I don't think I have previously conversed had arrived I thought I would try and find out a litttle more about them.
I was hoping to perhaps build up some sort of repartee, as I am aware that in the past I have maybe jumped to conclusions as to some posters intentions.
