I've come down from 'peel me off the ceiling' thinking Rovers had done us over to find that it was City who have actually done us over. I'm going to pursue this via my position as voting fodder on the Supporters' Club committee to make sure it doesn't happen again. As the home club keeps all the gate money, it would have cost City nothing. You would think a 'Community Club' in a 'cost of living crisis' would think of its fans first.So why the feck did we do that, and screw our own fans over ? I am fed up with foreign owners who don't give a damn about the law of the land, league rules or anything else. Reading are thumbing their nose up at the EFL and consistently getting away with it, and the problems at Rovers are entirely of their own making. They went ahead and started redeveloping their South End without a thought about seeking Planning Permission, or even considering their own fans who had bought season tickets there. Of course work was stopped and delayed. They belatedly realised that they weren't go to reach the 75% capacity needed for a test event, which would enable the following game against Oxford to have 100% capacity. So offered seats at £10 in desperation, crediting their supporters who had already paid the higher price and even extended that offer to their supporters who had already purchased tickets elsewhere in the ground, including those standing in the open ! For a Club who prides itself on the fans who travel the length and breadth of the country in order to support the team exactly which bright spark at the Club agreed to this ? They should be sacked or resign Immediately !
