There is an ignore option

His hair hangs over his shoulders , tied up with a blue and white band

Those days have gone I’m afraid.

That’s a great kit, probably my favourite. The previous one with the vee neck and short sleeves was a bit cold in winter. A young Eamon Rogers in the background before he let his hair grow.

10/10. He would have been equally good today as a wing back. A Rolls-Royce of a player. I tried to model myself as a full back on Keith.

If Carey knew he had hit it, should he not walk?

10/10

Rhymes better with an "e" on the end of "Shit"!

Hate Venky’s… or.. just fucking despise them…

Stop engaging then when the answers are all the same. Stick to those who want to make it work 👍🏻

What questions have I chosen to ignore and not answer?

I would have been on the Blackburn end

We're Rovers 'til we die, We're Rovers 'til we die, We'll bend over forwards 'n take any Shite, We're Venky Acolytes!

This poster (Chaddy) has possibly posted more than anyone else in this thread. This thread is exclusively about dissatisfaction with the owners and ways which we might be able to protest against them and get them to change their strategy or sell the club. Said poster has no intention of protesting against the owners, no intention of boycotting, has no interest in doing anything which might encourage them to sell. Only under extreme duress from several other posters will they provide any criticism of the owners and it's always brief and minimal. Given all of the above, I can't understand why they constantly post in this thread, other than to try and undermine the overall sentiment which is one of anger and protest. It's a free country - they absolutely have every right to post where they want on the message board, nothing to do with me. I can't understand it though. All they are interested in doing is telling everyone else about how they'll never protest and coming up with as many arguments as possible against anything which anyone suggests. Obfuscation, obstruction and distraction away from any discussion which criticises the owners and suggests solutions. I don't actually think they're a club plant, but some of the views and behaviour on here is as close as you could get to one. I have nothing personal against said poster. I'm sure they're a nice person IRL, but I have had to mute them for some time because reading some of their views on the club in the last 12 months since I rejoined the board has made me think I'm losing my mind. No one is perfect and no one is right 100% of the time. But I can't find anything I agree on about Rovers with this poster and I find I just need to scroll past everything. Edit - apologies if that is too ad-hominem. I'm not saying the board should be an echo chamber with no disagreement or dissent, but the guy seems to be on a one-man mission in this thread to distract and obfuscate the discussion.

But with our lot it seems to have the opposite effect at home. You could say a huge following away motivates, it did at PNE for us but we'd also won numerous other away fixtures with just the standard followings. At Ewood huge followings often had the opposite effect and got the home fans and team more up for it. Recent seasons though it now tends to go the other way due to our very limited wallflower players. Yet another symptom of this ownership. I actually think Ismael has some balls, even though i think his game management is mostly bad from 60 mins but he's not sending his balls on the pitch he's sending low level brainless squad fillers on.

So you have probably been the most consistent poster in this thread and again have barely discussed anything remotely relevant. If you dont eat at the ground because of choice around value and food options, it has absolutely no relevance to protests. Your postings earlier about merchandise displayed a total ignorance towards the protest and the suggestion. Obviously its down to personal choice but just repeating that isnt really relevant to whether this form of protest is suitable.

Bring your boots!

Great post btw and I agree until something big happens a lot will see no issue. (Although lots were happy to see us concrete half of brockhall and then no issue when it was used as a loan guarantee and left club ownership) The frustration is, some of those who want to boycott inc myself, think that it may happen down the road, we have the roadmap, we can see an ownership who no longer wants to fund the club and should draw parallels it may be a slow death. If its fair for the Venkys in crowd to conclude we'd be another Bury/Bolton, its fair to counter argue we could be another Sheff Wed with this ownership. Better to intervene now, knowing what we know, than wait until it does happen. Not aimed at you btw, it makes sense to the wider fanbase. You articulated the challenges. None of us know what on Earth the owners are thinking.

I’ve lost track of how many choices I have.

Firstly, RF99, @RevidgeBlue and @lraC , I don't consider myself any better than any other fan. Yes I am diehard passionate Rovers fan who loves and breathe Blackburn Rovers every single day of his life. I'm sure everyone else is similar. I asked you some simple questions which yet again you have chosen to ignore and not answer but then expect others to answer your questions. Maybe have a think about that My stance is very clear and straight on all the issues. I respected others who make their own choice for the own situation, whatever decision or choice they make should be fully respect, not moan or complained for making their own decision on what they think is right for them. I never said my non-buying on the concourse was my protesting but me making a choice not to buy based on the options available. That's my choice. I fully aware of what the coalition points are and what they want supporters to do but it is still down to that supporter to decide what they want to do which is personal choice. If Supporters choose to not do as the Coalition has ask for that is down to them and what their choice. It isn't wrong and people shouldn't be made to feel guilty over it either.

I obviously hope we win on Saturday, but I do worry that some fans will be pleased with the three points and yet again simmer down and forget about or criticise the call to boycott. I also think that if we win, the club's propaganda machine will go into overdrive against the protesters and that some people who are on the fence will be won over by it. This game on Saturday is a must win IMO, in really tough circumstances. We have to claw our way to 50 points this season or we're doomed. It's strange feeling that if we get a good result it will have other knock-on negative effects around the club. Not a nice feeling to have.

The reality is that the only think that will get the wider attend8ng fan base to get of their seats is if results and relegation, but even then there will be those that blame the poor form and league position on 'negative fans'

The Eustace exit made me afraid again. An awful reminder of the toxic people behind the scenes. I was almost starting to believe again with Eustace. The acid test was always going to be the January window. Again, it was an unmitigated disaster and reminder that we were in the midst of another sabotage. Somehow, it felt worse than the previous ones.
