This seems like a very strange clause to me, if it's optional. Yverdon wanted a sale. They've no reason to care whether he played 20 games for us. We should prefer the freedom to decide regardless of games played and have no reason to ask for that clause. Given both parties knew he would be out for months to begin with, it seems even stranger. The only way I can see it is if it isn't an option but an obligation. Rovers were known to change their mind on buying once the injury was revealed. 20 games would likely demonstrate he was over it, and give Yverdon some security over getting the money if he was as good as they thought he was, rather than us just using him as a (presumably) cheap loan. I guess there's one other way I can see it - if the player's side insisted on it. I guess he could be reluctant to be bought fairly cheaply just to be a backup player.

Desperately hoping this is the first step in ridding ourselves of this ownership. It's been 15 years, quite frankly we've been incredibly patient but it feels we are definitely at a point of no return with Venkys. They're done, there is no getting the fans back on side, our relationship, not just with them but with the whole hierarchy is fractured beyond repair. Rovers is our club, not theirs. It's time to take it back. As final note, if this boycott isn't as successful as hoped (in terms of empty seats) we can't be too down hearted, it's just the first step and the longer this ownership keeps dragging us down, the more people will follow with action.

This weekends games for our loanees TBA - 3pm kick offs Barrett - score/update Edmondson - score/update Wood - score/update On the bench - Not involved in matchday squad - No game this weekend Duru - play 4th Feb

You could say I’m part of the newer generation. First game was against Arsenal back in 2010 I think it was. What a win that was. Since then I’ve been a season ticket holder. All I wanted to see was rovers win matches and be successful like we were in the 1990s and so on. My mum would always tell me about rovers back then and how good they were and possibly the best team in England. It’s hard to miss a game as I am young and still have that fiery emotion inside of me. But I have made the decision to boycott today and not renew my season ticket for next season until venkys and co have gone.

Or, much closer to home, the Lancashire cotton famine

He's right footed and sooooooo slow.

the windy and cold weather will add a few more to the boycott today,lets hope the crowd is below 5000

So are they saying that the negotiator is a diversion tactic from the inside??

Prior to last night, he was being use about a similar amount to how Gueye was used for us (before he was dropped from our squad completely Those look the minutes of a guy surplus to requirements rather than someone being eased back from injury (last night excluded) https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/daryl-dike/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/638741/plus/0?saison=2025&verein=&liga=&wettbewerb=&pos=&trainer_id=

I always thought that the only way to get rid of these owners was with people power and voting with a few no shows, let's hope today gains that traction. I also hope it would still be happening if we were having a half decent season as nothing is going to change until this cancer is gone!

Hope you've got the Riverside to yourself.

Before I get into this post I'll spell it out because I know the first reply will probably be "Are you comparing protesting against Venkys to ending apartheid in South Africa?" No, obviously, even if Venkys might be harder to get rid of. A common retort against the protests is "They won't even know it's happened", and that always makes me think of the Dunnes Store ladies in Ireland. They started a protest against selling South African grapefruits that everyone said was useless, how can 10 ladies in Ireland not selling grapefruits end apartheid. It took a while but through a chain of events started by 1 person seeing their protest their persistence led to Ireland being the first country to ban the import and sale of all goods from South Africa which triggered others to follow suit and started an economic meltdown that helped end the regime. David Nihill covers it brilliantly. So, to those boycotting the match today, talking to the press, talking to their mates ... you don't know who is going to see it, you don't know who they are going to tell and you don't know who's going to be our Nimrod.

Life only normally allows me to get back up for a couple of home games a season with my girls - and its an opportunity to visit family at the same time. We'd planned in this weekend to be one of those weekends a while ago. However, we're still very much in Sussex today. will be at QPR away - but not sure when we'll get to Ewood next now. Hope today can make a difference.

There will always be people, who appear in moments like this. They can't be managed. The rest of us just need to hold our nerve and not give it any oxygen. Not sure, who profits by it. Vive La Coalition!

Not many clubs wear a red and white halved shirt….could you imagine 😂 More likely that someone is writing all that to make it look like JDT (or someone close to him) in my opinion.

They’ve all been deleted ☹️

Good luck to all those boycotting today. Here's hoping it's the beginning of the end of Venky's.

I am going today, though I have respect to anyone who is boycotting. I think it’s a deeply personal decision and whatever decision you choose is the right one for you. Lets all hope we can be discussing a successful on field performance along with the boycott at 5pm

100%..Never a truer word Spoken.

If he must, tell her he is off to match and then spend the afternoon down the pub !

If currently being used why would wba sell to a relegation rival - makes no sense on their end

Empty stadium and 3 points would no doubt assist recovery.

Dike is an interesting one as it looks like he’s out of contract in the summer so that combined with his injury record could keep the fee down. He didn’t join West Brom for a huge fee either and due to the injuries he’s not really pushed on there. I guess he’s hoping he stays fit and ends the season well to get a move. I wouldn’t be against bringing him in but we need another as well.

We can all get behind a sh1t side, devoid of talent, if we know the clubs pulling in the right direction Waggy76. The current happenings at Ewood are by design.

I think a 15 minute no show and Red cards when we return to our seats. Impactful and visual
