and no doubt Millwall will pay him double what Rovers would offer anyway

Anyone going today will you be good enough to post some pics of the empty Stands. I can see another spoof 12k attendance being given by the Club.

I think we are pretty much dead and buried but today presents a chance for us, West Brom only drew, Charlton currently trail and Pompey don’t play till tomorrow. We won’t win though so it’s irrelevant

pne surrendering their play off chances,thats 6 conceded in two games and it`s not even half time today🙂

Tell me about it. I’ve only heard stories of the good old days.

he`s a class act even at 35,don`t think he`d fancy swapping one crisis club for another tbh

He's joining Millwall apparently.

I thought he often played there for Legia? Regardless, he's still better than De Neve.

Jesus, you poor sod. 2010? You've just seen shit.

The same legal team that we spent tens of thousands of pounds with on the McGuire case?

Barry Bannan leaving. wouldn't mind in coming. Walk into our midfield since we are so poor as creating.

Probably through one of the Sport England or Football Foundation pots. Given our Championship status we wouldn't qualify for many of the stadium and facilities grants on offer. Give it a few years though ...

Tbf I think RoverDom was suggesting the calls would draw sympathy because they've been released publicly when the calls would have been considered private at the time - as opposed to the actual (largely banal) content.

i just want rovers to be well run,like they used to be,promotion is a bonus but it would`nt matter to me if we were as skint as we were in the 80`s just as long as those running the club were doing it for the benefit of blackburn rovers.thats not been the case for the last 15 years

Based on the Gestede calls, we’d be offered £250k and by the time Rudy had finished we’d be receiving £125k.

I think they’re saying just enough for us to have no idea what they’re saying 🤔 The alternative is I’m stupid - it could well be that one 😄😄

Good point Is it possible that its not an option to buy, but is instead an obligation to buy after he makes 20 appearances? That would make more sense Edit - I really should have read your whole post before I replied

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
