Venky’s (& Suhail) Out Protest Ideas

[Ossydave]

The sky issue coukd easily be resolved with a cheaper alternative and more cost cutting ..... Rudy must be the only bloke in the country who's not had a friend request off firestick man on Facebook though he's that much of a cunt 🤣

No Chaddy it's not a realistic suggestion we use a dodgy firestick before you start.

Sheffield Wednesday protested yesterday outside the ground, held a funeral for their club which garnered national press interest

Why is nothing like that ever suggested by our “Action Group” or lack of action group!

Banners at least outside the ground pre games just something, anything! Our action group do nothing!  

Because we did it all from around 2012-2017 and nothing happened. We got slagged off all over SSN and my dad (then in his late 60s) was spat at on the concourse for wearing a Venkys Out shirt by one of our own fans.

We held joint protests with other clubs, issued joint statements, gave the red card to Venkys vs Man Utd, did the 1875 protest vs Wolves, nobody in the press (not even our own fans) gives a shit about Rovers.

We didn’t do it with anywhere near the commitment the Sheff Wed fans are showing … in just two games they’ve had a near total boycott of the concourses on Saturday, 99% of their following staying out the ground at Leicester.

We’ve had just as good organisation by the likes of Glen and others, alas the wider fanbase just hasn’t ever had the stomach for it (apart from just walking away entirely, which, of course, is the ultimate protest when your cash is involved).

I get that.

It never ceases to amaze me how many people still dismiss/ridicule/refuse to get the Rovers protest agenda. We do have to keep reminding ourselves that BRFCS is now pretty homogeneous..

After the Birmingham game, I was approached by people, actually looking for an argument.. that the club was "doing the best it can"..."Look at our attendances-Derby had 30,000 on today!"...."No-one else wants to buy us"..."Since, their original naive mistakes(!)..they have continued to keep the club afloat"....We have found our (80's) natural level..."

However, I still think we can devise eye-catching protests, if we are strategic, think smart...least effort/maximum impact etc..

At some point this season we will see protests. You are probably right in your belief that it will be results on the pitch that will be the turning point but Pasha and Gestede are increasingly adding fuel to the fire. More and more fans are getting restless.

I think you underestimate our fans.

I really don't wish it upon us, but if we are in the bottom 3 after 10 games, have not got any new signings in, prior to the window closing and we lose one more in addition to Travis, I see one hell of an uprising.

We will be in the bottom 3 after 10 games , the rest will pan out with the passage of time !

No I don’t underestimate them. I’ve seen them for fifteen years. There is no stomach for it with the majority of the match going fanbase. Doesn’t mean the likes of Glen won’t get traction elsewhere, but you need to face facts when it comes to the Ewood attendees. If we are ticking over results wise you’ll see bugger all dissent apart from a few ‘Venky’s don’t care about me’ chants and an odd banner. Even if we aren’t ticking over, a managerial change, a run of results out of the blue will quickly stub out dissent.

Wish it was different, but it just isn’t and I’m dealing with reality not what we’d like to see.

(*Though feel free to quote me with glee in November or whatever when you see weekly Sheff Wed style uprisings,I’d be delighted to eat humble pie, but I sincerely doubt it).

I don't think he's underestimating them at all. I think his observations are quite accurate.

I honestly don't know how some of these cretins can even call themselves Rovers fans. They're as much to blame for the last 15 years as the owners and their associates are. 

I think a lot of them would be quite happy seeing the team playing in the National League North with gates of 5-800 just so they can say that they're supporting their team through thick and thin. I'm assuming the thick part of that is their brains, if they've even got any. 

Nothing will be organised like what other clubs manage because of these dropkicks. 

The easiest thing to do is what many of us have done, just wash your hands of it and walk away. 

You may be a hardcore supporter of venky fc but don't ever try and tell me that you're a Rovers fan because you're fucking not.

I guarantee if we had an exact mirror situation as Sheffield Wednesday and we were unable to pay our players, some of our fans would still say its because of FFP restrictions.

No, the worm really won’t turn at Ewood. There aren’t enough worms left for a start and a high proportion of the remaining ones are more than happy in their little patch of soil thank you very much.

Like I said if the team is doing badly, bottom of the league, then you’ll get chants… we then win a couple, or we get a new manager, then it stops, just like late last season, just like when Eustace arrived.

As always, the actual protest is folk walking away. They’ve done it in droves ever since our 25,000 average crowd in 2010… but unlike most normal owners where that would ring very loud alarm bells… this lot couldn’t. give. a. fuck.

Change will come, if it ever does, from the likes of Glen away from Ewood Park.

banners saying congratulating venkys and pasha on empty seats would look good - be a real kick in knackers

I'm a few rows above the sign on that - when the picture was taken, I was literally pointing out where the rat will be sat (to my lad, sat next to me), as well as the importance of why we need him out.

He'll have seen it, no doubt about it.

It was plain to see on US TV coverage.

I honestly believe this season we could easily lose the first seven league fixtures  .

The squad is bereft of talent ,most of the new signings are from relegated clubs in leagues below our present status.

Perfect storm is brewing !
