The State of Ewood Park!

Even some of the Venkys logos around the pitch look worn or at the very least in need of a clean. Perhaps they don't watch, despite what is claimed.

The venky logos look perfect completely covered in shit. 

Sums them up to a tee.

Yeah they are definitely tuning into games like Oxford at 2am Pune time 😒

[Old Codger]

Feck the walls with Venkys folly, Fa la la la la, la lah lah lah

Tis the season to drink Stoli, Fa la la la la, la lah lah lah

Dig the pitch up, drains are baggered, Fa la la la la, la lah lah lah

Now the team's completely paggered, Fa la la la la, la lah lah lah

Don't repair the stadium's flushing, Fa la la la la, la lah lah lah  

Troll the fans - they can do nothing Fa la la la la, la lah lah lah

Strike the heart of discord's chorus Fa la la la la, la lah lah lah

Silent as the fans implore us.. Fa la la la la, la lah lah lah

 

Follow ye in merry measure, Fa la la la la, la lah lah lah

While we bury this great treasure, Fa la la la la, la lah lah lah

Throw away the old successes Fa la la la la, la lah lah lah

Why we stay is anyone's guesses Fa la la la la, la lah lah lah

 

Sit we all in Pune fortress Fa la la la la, la lah lah lah

Lancashire? We could not care less Fa la la la la, la lah lah lah

Hail the new, ye lads and lasses Fa la la la la, la lah lah lah

Disrepair, yet still time passes Fa la la la la, la lah lah lah

 

Where this ends, remains confusion, Fa la la la la, la lah lah lah

Future dreams are just delusion, Fa la la la la, la lah lah lah

Sing we joyoys all together, Fa la la la la, la lah lah lah

Just ignore the Christmas' weather, Fa la la la la, la lah lah lah

 

To Venky Scrooges up and down the Pune gated compound, 

Goodwill? Naah. Christmas spirit? Naah. Something under the tree? Naah (except for maybe a brick wrapped in a note to say it's time to go, it's time to drop the pretence, it's time to do the honourable thing and admit that YOU MADE A BIG MISTAKE, so feck off and leave us alone.

VENKYS OUT!

Jacks family should pay to keep that area clean it's the least they could do after landing his club with this lot.

They are beyond redemption. Of course you know because we discussed it but Howard was strutting around the statue as recently as August. A few of you also know (for a brief period until I had it removed) the first picture that came up under Jack Walker on Google was a picture of Howard in front of the statue. You couldn't even see the top half of the statue. Sickening. The only things that could have summed it up more would have been if he was carrying a bag of money and an axe.

Do people think their profits ended with the sale? Northcote were happy to do business with the club until Matthewman sold. What else went on behind closed doors? I fully believe they are close friends with Pasha and have other friends who were instrumental in the takeover and gained power (and money) in the aftermath. They might not seek the former but the only thing they care about is the latter.

Man stands next to a statue of his father.
Seems fair enough tbh.

[Tomphil2]

Father.

Man then notices its looking grubby and has a word, even offering to foot the bill himself.

Seems like a normal morally correct family thing to do.

Or, in the alternate universe inhabited by some wealthy locals with a connection to the statue...

"Feck that, I'm a narcissistic sociopath with no interest in anything except myself, and I'm certainly not going to do anything to remind everyone how successful my old man was, or how insignificant and pathetic I am in comparison to his crumbling legacy..."

They were quick enough to use the Walkersteel name and branding as soon as they legally could though...

I don't think they do or at least not in the sense that is portrayed, it might be on in the background but that's about it.

Used to go into the quite plush offices of a busy family owned and run Indian firm in the Wembley area of London. In there they had about 6 tv screens on the wall all blazing away with different things on, mostly business news, general news, stock markets etc.

There was one that often had sport on, all this was just a backdrop as they sat at their desks on their phones, PC's and went about their work.

I reckon it'll be similar with this lot, just background noise.

Jack's Bronze statue is rapidly losing its protective Laquered finish,if its not corrected soon in will cause cause permanent Oxidisation damage to the Bronze surface itself.

You would have thought someone at the Club would have noticed..along with the rest of the Stadium.🤔

Sad but so true. I'm finding it harder and harder to recall the club I fell in love with 60 years ago.
