Some times sadly to keep access to the parts of the club we want to hear things from they have to bite their lips and toe the line, Smailsey often had to do that. However, the thing is Dan Tomlinson probably knows that his days are limited as is our coverage in the Mail and he just tells it as he would have done in his old Fanzine, or when I trudged out of away games with him, because it was a shambles and it is just one in a series of shambles over many years that we have had to endure.



Any guy who has hosted his own podcast on the FC, sat on FC voices, who produces a monthly fanzine and stands in the park in the pouring rain selling them before a game, (before getting a job writing about the club he loves in the local paper) is one of us. Like him, watching that game back this morning I just can't believe how rubbish we are and where we have sunk to.

Good post. Completely agree.

I believe it’s called, return on investment.

Very to hard/difficult to argue against the points raised as they are a pretty fair summation of the situation and what a concerning number of fans are likely to be thinking.

KR got own ground now bought surrounding land promised Sewell, MKM(who wanted to invest in us) both promised contracts for building on surrounding areas if they invest which they have, James McNicholl former KR chairman Colins lad and multi millionaire ploughed 7 million into KR. All on the KR board plus more sponsors queuing up the get on board but our chairman refuses help and people joining the board and I wonder why, plus as an investor what you investing in??? we don't own anything of note.

KR got lucky by being granted a patch of land around a stadium that hadent been developed for decades. Hudgell tried and failed to sell Rovers for years before that happened.



We cant blame Pearson for lack of assets, he of course bought the club already locked into the MKM deal and theres never been the finances to build our own training ground.



The other factor that isnt directly Pearson's fault is the TV deal, had the game being managed properly we could have been in situation where the TV deal was increasing while the salary cap kept the costs down and clubs could be making a profit. Instead SKY have the game over a barrell and you'd have to be a diehard fan to throw millions at RL.
