Blackburn Rovers Women

[Bronzed A Donis]

More redundancies, normal club, nothing to see here...

Worst owners in football.

Seriously grim stuff

Ashamed of the club 

I have been for years. I rarely tell people I’ve just met that I support Rovers. I only hang around because of my grandson. He’s 18 and really keen. He’ll still be here when the Chicken Chokers are history so I don’t want him to lose hope like I have.

Once fans go they very rarely come back.

That's quite funny, to be fair.

They're utter snakes. They're also not going to be able to field a team. 

To be fair that’s a poor post. 20 people losing their jobs isn’t funny at all 

[Upside Down]

But if we went into administration people would lose their jo...

Ah.

Im ashamed of the Clowns who purport to own our Club and those who run it on a day to day business.

They are ALL the root cause of our problems.

Are Rovers the only business to declare a redundancy situation?

They TURNED DOWN an offer of outside money to run the women's team these people WOULDN'T be redundant if they'd taken that on board.

They've relegated their own women's team into the 4th tier pull your head out your a##.

To not understand what is happening here requires one's head to be firmly in arse.

Clitheroe FC have confirmed this on their Facebook, too.

If anyone ever goes to Shawbridge, check the slant from the right hand side to the left hand side at the bottom end of the pitch.

It's quite something!

[GHR]

Lovely little ground is Shawbridge. Club house is decent too from my hazy memory of proceedings 😁

Unless I am misremembering, is that four homes in four years for Rovers Women now? Bamber Bridge, Lancs FA, Ewood and now Clitheroe?

[Mattyblue]

‘Rovers’ Head of Women’s Football, Nick Birchall, said: “We are delighted to be able to announce a new ground share agreement with Clitheroe FC for the 25/26 season. As we embark on a new chapter for the Blackburn Rovers Women’s Club, the club were keen to ensure that we continue to play as close as possible to the Blackburn area, whilst ensuring we meet the ground criteria for the Women’s National League. The location and facilities at Clitheroe FC will provide a fantastic experience for fans of Women’s football and the capacity of the ground allows for continued growth of the game in the coming years’

Well, that’s one way of putting it.

[DeeCee]

White Ash is cheaper.

[Proudtobeblue&white]

As I live in Clitheroe, me and my lad may well show support, rather than attend Ewood. Please just piss off you shysters!

Yep on Rovers site too now. Wtf 

[Tom]

How can we justify a Head of Women’s Football when the team aren’t pro?

[wilsdenrover]

I wonder what sort of take up they’ll have for these 🙄

Oh and ‘changes in structure’ - that’s one way of putting it.

‘Begin a new journey’ - what an absolute piss take.

‘All players chosen to play for the club will receive official 25/26 Blackburn Rovers training, travel and match day kit.’

Good to know as if they had to buy their own there probably wouldn’t be any left by the end of August…
