tonygreenbank 502 Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Those pictures are truly shocking. The current Board surely have a duty of care to maintain Ewood Park for the future for new generations of supporters. Do Mr Waggott and co not see the mess as they enter their offices?

Presumably that does not cover the cleansing and maintenance bills. And Mowbray saw fit to give a month's extra money to players he had no intention of playing. A decade of decay sums that lot up perfectly. He should have shoved a paint brush and a tin of paint in their hands and told them to earn their keep for a month.

Popular Post JoeH 2720 Posted August 21, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 21, 2020 I’ve spoken to the clubs supporter liaison team who say the grounds are being cleaned and sorted out within the coming days, she thanked us for our concern and appreciate the offer of volunteering.

tomphil 12943 Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Just the same as the team and management everybody down there needs a kick up the arse now and again. Nobody there to do though due to the void between Ewood and India and their reliance on the same agent pals to install people in office. Maybe someone would be so kind as to train Pasha in the art of the knapsack sprayer i doubt he does much else for his money. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jim mk2 8731 Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 It's like looking after any property, including your own home, don't keep up with the maintenance and it starts to look tatty and unkempt. The daft thing is, it will cost them more to put it right (assuming they're bothered) than it they had maintained the ground properly. Anyone looking at Ewood would say that there is a club with a management that doesn't care and has no pride. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Parsonblue 5473 Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Heartbreaking to see Ewood Park in this state. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Miller11 2741 Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 And to think one of our former heroes funeral procession went right through there two days ago. You’d think someone would have been ashamed and embarrassed enough to make it look a bit respectable for such an occasion. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
S8 & Blue 3178 Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Possibly the banners are being replaced too. 50ft mural depicting Ben Brereton's goal against Bolton. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stuart 16659 Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 It doesn’t matter what any of us thinks Waggott will blame Covid, lockdown and furlough. But, once again, a club in need who has a good relationship with fans could easily find volunteers to help rally round to sort stuff like this. But if a chief exec is on a six figure salary and we have billionaire owners who could easily fix this, if they cared, it leaves a sour taste. Maybe some of these photos should be tweeted over to India to highlight what a decade of Venkys ownership looks like. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

A Northern Horde... 321 Posted August 21, 2020 Author Share Posted August 21, 2020 I wonder if Deepdale,Turf Moor or the Breezeblock are presently in such a bloody mess... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RevidgeBlue 8114 Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 The neglect of Eeood Park isn't really a new issue, John William's used to comment quite frequently ten years or more ago at the Fans Forum that ground maintenance issues had been deliberately overlooked in an attempt to maximise the playing budget. This seems to be taking it to a whole new level. though.Shocking really when things like the weeds could be so quickly and cheaply sorted out. Great idea to send the pictures to the owners who Iimagine would be appalled. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think they'd be aware of the state of the outside of the ground just now, no. I see no reason why they'd be happy with it though. Responsibility for that has to lie with those on the ground so to speak at Ewood. Have they been working from home or the stadium? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
