Surely at this point everyone has stopped caring about results, right? The priority is to rid ourselves of these cockroaches.

Fair enough, what’s your plan on how we get there ?

Did you outline how you indend to get there?

I mean the dynamic — when it turns into “you’re with us or against us,” it splits people who actually want the same thing. We all want the same outcome, we just disagree on how to get there.

Lol

You working hard tricky. 🙂 We've had plenty of managers who expect things to happen.

There is a certain air of self-satisfaction that boycotting will not have the intended outcome. Shouldn't the protestors be applauded for at least trying something to effect a change? At the very least, one might be neutral about it. But it would appear that a contingent of fans are rejoicing at the thought of it not changing anything? There's something awfully sinister about that.

It is pretty much already 50%, little over 6,000 home supporters today for a Saturday 3pm kick off.

Incidentally, is the squad better now than last year?

You worried about your job?

Yuki needs dropping, clearly low on confidence. Jorgensen looks more suited playing down the middle, not sure he's the player we need on the flanks, certainly isn't quick. We need someone who looks to beat his man and carries the ball with pace.

The wealth of the owners should be a positive, but when it comes to getting rid of them it is their wealth which is the biggest problem. The problem here is that they don't actually need to sell, which is why comparisons with Chansiri and Oyston are missing the point. Their wealth will also deter potential buyers looking for a good deal,you can't bully someone financially if they're richer than you are.

Fewer renewals devastate the club. These fans are telling you they are not willing to attend whilst Venkys are here. You should stand with those fans and not the owners How you have concluded that empty seats create division is beyond me. I think it’s an AI post tbh - what the fuck does empty seats have to do with Reform? And how does it create division if people decide they can’t support Venkys any more and don’t want to part with their hard earned cash? I won’t be replying to you again.

Posters who plod that line out are just gaslighting at this point.

If you think we won't end up in administration if the V's stay in charge that's fair enough but I fear you'll be sadly disappointed. I think the clock is clearly ticking and there's only a limited amount of value left they can squeeze out of it. So to rephrase it your solution is to do nothing and just hope for the best?

I suppose a lot of it comes down to whether you still find any enjoyment from supporting Rovers under Venky's. If you do, then I get the antagonism, but at the same time if the belief is that the boycott is pointless and won't change anything, then no need to be concerned about it. Just let people do what they want to do and keep on doing what you're doing. If you find little to no enjoyment from the club under Venky's, then it makes sense to try and do something about it. Even if it's ultimately futile, there's no shame in trying to enact positive change. There's also no need to fear what would happen if Venky's pull the plug, if you genuinely have zero enjoyment from the club under their tenure to begin with. One day they will go, and a new owner will be needed - why not try and make it possible sooner rather than later?

Until the wages stopped being paid you want get critical mass, we saw that at Sheff Wed. But so what? No protest movement is easy.

look at the situation in this context we`ve gone from a team that were looking good for the play offs under eustace,the owners ****** him about and he left,ismael came in and suddenly we are in transition?????? last summer we sold all our best players,brought in a lot of shite and now we are in danger of relegation,not a murmur of protest from the fans present at ewood,i really think stockholm syndrome has taken over whats left of our support,what needs to happen to unite fans to our plight????,ffs some of them need cattle prodding to realise whats going on

I understand why people feel driven to boycott, but I don’t believe it achieves whats hoped. The owners already have the money this season, so the immediate impact is on the team, the atmosphere, and the wider fan experience rather than on those in charge. Long term, fewer renewals may not force change — it’s just as likely to lead to further cost-cutting. For owners this detached, empty seats don’t create pressure; they create division amongst the fans, much like Reform do in today's politics.

Will a boycott be ongoing? It was only asked of the Watford game. A 25% reduction in attendance might be a first step, but that's the easiest. Is it going to gradually build to 50%, 75%, and then 100%? The answer is likely "no". My opinion is simply that there are bits and pieces of bad ownership, but unless they truly stop funding the club and paying bills, it's never going to have majority support from Rovers attendees, let alone the wider footballing world. I'm not here as a "oh, here he is again with his blah blah mantra". It's my opinion. Nothing more. Nothing less. And I can assure those who think that I'm deluded and whatnot, that I ain't the only one who thinks the same.

My thoughts are with your family Glen. Hoping for the best possible outcome.

Cantwell was shite again today always giving the ball away but thought Cashin had a solid game .

Van Dijk makes me laugh- monumentally fecks up for the first Bournemouth goal, then turns around and starts blaming everyone else. Shut up, lad.

Maybe in some of us, Matty but certainly not Goozburger !

What 'evidence' would satisfy you other than what actually happens elsewhere at similar / inferior clubs? You want private businessmen / consortia to go around giving interviews and talking about it publicly even though it isn't for sale? You want public access to private communications? There's no public 'evidence' of many things but anyone with a grasp on reality knows what is going on. You seem to be expecting or demanding something that never happens in any business transaction in the world - nobody ever goes public about their interest in something when the people in control won't even answer the phone.
