Welcome to the NEW RLFANS.COM. After twenty-five years of service, the old site expired over the last few days. To maintain service we have had no option but to make an early switch to the new site which was in development/testing. Some elements of the new site are unfinished, such as; page numbering and quotations. We will fix these minor issues as soon as we can, please bear with us.

Rovers do need to find some new investment from somewhere. Hudgell's made that clear. The stadium needs completing. The squad needs investing in. And (this is just an assumption so apologies if I'm off the mark) the junior development could be improved (as Pearson has found with Hull). It's crucial that the fans feel the club is moving forward otherwise crowds will begin to wane, and the new facilities won't get much benefit. At the moment, it doesn't feel like there's much good news coming, and that Rovers have peaked under Hudgell.
It now appears you're finding yourselves in a similar situation that Cas find themselves in and have been for a number of years. I hope you guys (and Cas, and Salford who are also in a similar vein despite the new stadium) can find a new investor, and for your own sake that it ain't the Allams!
'Investment' is a misleading term, IMO, unless the return is a sporting one.
New money would be great, but with or without it I'd agree the club needs a fresh strategy - there are a number of sensible options, depending on other factors, particularly finance.
