Time for a few home truths...

[johnnykicksass]

Anybody have John Ryan's phone number?

I'd like to call and offer him a piece of my mind. As somebody who was born in Doncaster and went to a couple of games in the 70's, one in the 80's, a few Rugby League games in the 90's and watched the Rovers on TV in the naughties, I'm clearly a passionate stakeholder in the Rovers. I'd like to speak to Mr Ryan and let him know he ought to be calling and speaking to me directly ahead of any decision he makes regards the Mighty Reds. How dare he go spending money here, there and everywhere, signing players willy-nilly and expect me to be happy? How can an emotional stakeholder like myself (educated to the highest possible level at Balby Carr till i was 15) be ignored when it comes to football matters. I was thinking of going to another Rovers game in the next couple of years but I probably won't now. Somebody down the pub told me that Ian Snodin doesn't even play for the Rovers anymore WFT  How can that be, how could John Ryan allow MY club to suffer like that and sell the best player we've ever had..!!? How are the Rovers supposed to get promoted to the Premiership without Snod's? ...clearly John Ryan doesn't know what he's doing and he needs to think about speaking to his loyal supporters like me before he makes anymore mistakes and messes things up...

...when i speak to Mr Ryan I will insist he refunds my bus fare from 1986 when i took a trip to town with the express intention of seeing the Rovers but it started raining so i didn't bother. I still have the 2p ticket, so there should be no excuses. I'll also insist he gives me a free ticket for the Leeds game as reward for my unwavering loyalty. How much more am I supposed to give to the club without getting anything back??

If none of that works, if he doesn't answer his phone, if he says no to me, then I'm off to watch Barnsley again... SOD the Rovers...

[RobTheRover]

Are you sure the bus was 2p in 1986?  I think it had risen to 20p by then.

[streatham dave]

Sorry mate I'm not sure he'd appreciate it being handed out like that.

[Sprotyrover]

HA HA top post but you are being a Tad unkind to pupils of Balby Carr!!!

I'd be happy if you and anyone else like you went and supported Barnsley. If you can't see that what is happening at Donny is for the good of the club and back the board in what clearly is a transitional period for us, then go and moan somewhere else.

How much more am I supposed to give to the club without getting anything back??

The club ows you nothing. Your decision to support them, through good times and bad.

How dare he go spending money here, there and everywhere, signing players willy-nilly and expect me to be happy?

You must be forgetting that without JR and his money they wouldn't have been a team to support. How dare you question how JR is trying to run our football club after everything he has done for it.

I'll download the bus timetables for Barnsley and post then later. :byebye

He was taking the p!ss.

Jeez, when did our supporters lose the ability to laugh our ourselves?

There are some people that take this \"sport\" far too seriously.
Sorry PM, but read it again....

[johnnykicksass]

Hehe... I think he went to Balby Carr too...

PM, I only travel on Yorkshire Traction... no other timetable will do

[roversdude]

Top post Johnny nearly spilt my cocoa pops laughing so much

Are you sure the bus was 2p in 1986?  I think it had risen to 20p by then.

God!Those were the days,2p for a concession and 10p for adults.One of the best things the council has done subsidising the buses.A bit gaoling for those who wanted to travel further than Bawtry into Notts,the price went up over tenfold then.You could make dozens of trips in yorkshire for the same cost has 1 in Notts.

[I-was-there1976]

Is PM Irish ?

Is he the one they talk about in the jokes, Englishman, Irishman and Scotsman

[Wellred]

I bet poor old PM is sat in a darkened room thinking. Oh dear what a total prat I have made of myself.
Or maybe not ;-) ;-)

Graingrover, read it again you thick t**t.

Or even \"Gauling\" with the recent influx of Frenchies!  

[paddymacca]

Lol

WHAT A K.NOB I CAN BE

I have just read it through again and i see it all know. Ah well......... suppose you have to take the good with the bad.... as i said myself

Apologise OP, Sorry all, and my punishment...... quite obviously subject to ridicule and rightly so.

[paddymacca]

As was my intention to print off a Barnsley Bus timetable for the OP, an ill-measured mistake by myself has forced me to print off the timetable anyway.

I leave tomorrow at dawn folks

Taxi for myself

No fooker deserves to be sent there...........PLEASE DON'T SO IT. :cry:

[PDX_Rover]

I do have JR's number actually.

[streatham dave]

As do I PDX but it was given for a particular reason a few years ago and wouldn't be something I would just hand out or use again unless I had a good reason. JR doesn't need people on this board turning into stalkers. In JR I trust is all i'm saying.
