Spot on



We all know that the old regime screwed up big time on more than one occasion, including the whole Cooke fiasco. However the fact remains that Cooke could have instigated a move over the close season. Sure he may have been p****d at the board, but this would have been the decent way to do things, instead he decided to walk out on his team mates and the fans mid-way through a season in a blatant attempt to well and truely screw us over.

He is currently jumping on Pearson's "Kath bashing" wagon in yet another attempt at trying to get himself a little piece of the limelight.

His nice little line about the fact that he "promised his Mum" is an attempt to play on people's emotions and one that I don't buy as it is just another example of how low he will stoop to try and make himself out to be the victim.

The guy is lower than a snakes nipple end, and nothing he can say will ever change that.

Well said, Judas will never get any sympathy from me!

Surely this deserves another 'Cooke' thread?

This concerns you because?

it seems who said the tip of the iceberg last week was right

I don't think FCs accounting dates coincide with the fiscal one's you quote. As far as I am aware FCs year end is 31 October.

Another one who could not see through their spin!

Rule and all of em should have been hung

Be careful posting that Kosh with rupture his spleen, (although its true)

Mrs B, Mr Allam's million quid was a GIFT to Rovers, not a loan.

What's the first rule of pedantry Paul?

Must be said that its you the fans of FC that by withdrawing support,stopping buying shirts etc that encouraged the old gang to sell to AP.
Powerfull thing is fan power and everyone that had principles and stuck to them has won out in the end.
Better to find out now and not 1 or 2 or 3 years down the line regarding now things were run.
Power to the fans and well done !

Then you'd presume of a big rise for this season then.

depends, with the signings that we inherited from Fubar and a lack of any other quality players brought in since the AP takeover a lot of people are still unconvinced, give it 8 games, if we're playing entertaining stuff then we may just start to see gates increasing, warm words in the press wont win over the many cynics that have "heard and read it all before"

For people not to back the club now they should be ashamed. AP has put the money in and saved us from those idiots who owned the club, and has spoken more passionately about the club in his short time, than they did in 12 years

Did you miss the interview on radio Humberside when he said it was a "Soft Loan". That does not equate to a gift it equates to loan with a below market interest level.

Why should people be ashamed, it's their money, will AP be handing back the cash he makes when (if) we go into profit?

To be fair if I was a Rovers fan I would be hoping it was a Soft Loan and not a Gift, we all know what Mr Allams definition of a Gift is!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's when he's due to take his SATS Level II English.

That is under the ideal situation that Allam will roll over and play dead.
Good luck with that BTW.

As Allam isn't the landlord, it wont be his decision, it will be the City Council who negotiate their position, the SMC is just a management agency.

I don't listen to blunderside.

Lets wait and see how its treated in Rovers financial statements. . .when they get published that is!

Nail on the head.

I got another season pass for this season as I'd said if Agar went & we got a new coach I would renew, the fact we have AP as our owner is even better.
However I do understand that there are still many who want to see the proof of the pudding so to speak before handing over hard earned cash again rather than just hearing how good the recipe is again. Unfortunately for AP there is nothing more he can do as its a scar left by the years of shafting the fans by the previous regime that has made many sceptical and quite rightly.

If the team start well and look strong, competitive and play an exciting & entertaining brand of rugby then I am pretty sure most will come back at some point during the season, so would think the walk up figure would increase by a good margin. Maybe a half season ticket would be a good option for AP to look at if Gentle and the players are doing well.

Ditto....I am with you on this one.
