Basically, there was supposed to be a hearing in India this Wednesday just gone between Venky's and the Indian Court (13th Nov). But it has been delayed for the FOURTH time and has now been pushed back for January 13th 2025.

It's quite ridiculous as it concerns Venky's ability to fund Rovers, but that matters not a jot to the Indian Judiciary.

The current state of play based on the LT article, is that if Venky's want to send money to Rovers, they have to match every pound they send and put it in a separate bond with the Indian Court. They effectively have to fork out double the amount each time. Say Rovers need £15m, Venky's must fork out £30m in total. £15m to the club and £15m to the Court.

This Hearing is about Venky's trying to get that double payment stipulation removed, but the Hearing keeps getting pushed back by the Court for whatever reason I.e lack of time, too many cases before them etc.

Without the funds being sent over, Rovers are relying on player sales to raise money. That is how they made the few signings they did in the summer just gone.

Because he’s a sad, lonely little man that is pathetic enough to use a VPN to bypass the signup process so the mods can’t screen when he signs up.

People should report him and not respond but unfortunately people do keep replying and give him the attention he’s after

Tinpot Rovers

In the same way that CH and PR are tinpot in mentality and not PNE, that is also the case with Venky's and Steve Waggott. It is not Rovers that are tinpot, but their ownership and senior management certainly is.

In the 20 years before Venky's bought the club, Rovers had one game postponed due to heavy rain/waterlogged pitch. That was against Wimbledon in the mid 90s, when Vinny Jones and the Crazy Gang were doing mudslides on the pitch to amuse themselves.

In the 14 years under Venky's ownership Rovers have had SIX games postponed due to heavy rain/waterlogged pitch.

That tells its own story. The river still existed before 2010 and it still rained heavily at times back then too.

This is what trying to do things on the cheap does and it will continue until they properly revamp the pitch and upgrade the drainage.

I'm betting that all the construction drainage is still there.....and... IN PERFECT CONDITION.

However, it's- Silted Up..😆

The officials in this league 🤣

Watched the last half hour, hoping to see a home win (well, an away defeat is what I really mean). Rovers had the ball in the net a few minutes before, ruled out by that same linesman. Maybe he just felt it would have been a bit ungentlemanly to disallow another.
