This one is brutal but could be a very powerful message: boycott the 150th anniversary game vs. Derby on November 8 and have season ticket holders/supporters, livestreaming on social media, a protest outside of Ewood for an hour or so before kickoff. 

Here are some suggestions/ protest ideas:

- Make a copy of a season ticket and rip it in half in front of the camera/mobile phone.

- Use protest signs like '15 years of mismanagement', 'Venky's are killing our club', '150 years old but last 15 has been stolen from us', 'We want our club back', 'Venky's are stealing our club's future', 'Venky's don't care about us', 'Venky's out', 'Venky's + Rovers = Failure by design', 'We ain't celebrating with you Venky's', 'Own up and sell up' etc.

- Stand beside the Jack Walker statue with a sign that says: 'This is what a real owner looks like. Shame on you Venky's'.

- Interview people from perhaps the coalition and have them summarize what has gone wrong for the past 15 years, name Venky's biggest mistakes or misjudgements, and post it on social media as well before this fixture.

 

Can imagine that would generate significant media attention nationwide...

the catchphrase should be "MADE IN UK,DETROYED IN INDIA.." only then there's pressure on Vs at home

Even closer to home, ‘Made in Blackburn, Destroyed by Pune’

We went for the hollow 15 to symbolise how we have become a husk of our former club.

I assume Sheff Wed are boycotting, their stadium is empty

Now that is what you call voting with your feet.

Don't worry, "the data" says we'll be fine, so no need to be concerned.

I think a combination of ideas could dovetail beautifully.

Attend the Derby game, but remain outside.

Wear black/mourning attire (Is the relegation coffin knocking about somewhere?)

Have the Pasha Out banner AND get the delightful effort by WATR above on a banner too.

Can people start printing these perhaps 10 or 20 per person? To hand out?

Absolutely! But we’ve got some print material ready

Wearing black (ties and all) is a great idea. It feels more like a funeral than a celebration of 150 years.

A time to reflect on what we have lost.

A coffin should feature as well!

A act that needs small numbers of people but is visually impactful is the thing to go for.  Get twenty people with t-shirts spelling out made in Blackburn, destroyed in Pune in front of the Riverside will be a great photo-op.

[Miller11]

Feel free to use this graphic anywhere you like. Plaster it on social media. Respond to all the clubs posts regarding the anniversary with it. It should hopefully be all over Ewood on the 8th

Would make great t-shirts

Its the Jack Walker stand that the TV cameras face these days, may as well make it visible to a larger audience for the whole game

Is there a plan for a protest? 

Similar to Readings protest which got international coverage?

A mass walkout has no impact, a mass boycott might.

A mass funeral of rovers might too

The management team would have to see it though.
