He comes to every home game.

He does indeed, lives in Wiswell now but did live in Mellor years back.

Some nice ideas but not feeling the "wear all black". That will go unnoticed and is largely the colour of winter football grounds anyway.

Really like the missing 15 years graphic, also agree this needs to hit home in India somehow if at all possible, not Pune. They are mad about English football out there and probably have no idea what Venky's have done to this club.

It's time to turn the heat up on the owners... 15 years we've wanted them out for, all they've done in that time is brought shame.

This is the best idea I’ve seen - a virtually empty Ewood for the league game, followed by a decent crowd for the Legends game would send a signal - and it would be made clear it was a protest rather than us just being accused of not bothering to turn up

End of the day the only protest that will raise any awareness is one of two options 

1. Total boycott - Not happening 

2. Cause so much disruption that the game gets abandoned - Also not happening

Damn shame it got to that point. As I said in another thread these historic teams ought to be protected and bought by owners that have proven love for the club. It's like buying a historic cricket team in India and ruining the history

It is probably the best thing in the medium to long term.  If I were an interested investor I would have waited for administration.

Wish our lot would stop paying the bills….

This is the problem for me.. They are being seen to be doing just enough, while the essence of the club is being allowed to die...

Just on Sheff Wednesday, my whatsapp group hasn't stopped beeping for the last few hours, they're all going tomorrow against Oxford, even the boycotters, which for some started a few years back.

Our time will come, these rats will desert the ship at some point, we just have to be around to pick up the pieces.

All this is making me wonder why we aren’t doing an official boycott. I think one big push would get them out the door. Attendances are pretty close to that level already. If those attending realised that we could move Venky’s on, I’m sure they’d stop going.

For the love of God, someone please call a boycott and force our owners to go.

Two points on Wednesday.  

 

Apparently Chansiri net worth was 500m in 2020.  1/4 of Venkys purported worth.  I know they're up to their eyeballs in debt but I think that's due to the petulant way he's reacted to protests - happy to be corrected wrong. 

 

Secondly, very early days, but post administration and giving it 5 years - it'll be interesting to see who's in a better position

Gav...if Wednesday fans can do it why cant we?

This waiting around for them to leave bollox will probably see most of us on here in our Graves ffs!

Contrary to popular belief you don't need to be a billionaire to own and run a steady championship club.

A lot of owners in this league are in the few hundred millions but they run their clubs properly either hands on or via good staff.

The total these lot have spaffed here mostly straight into other pockets could sustain a club like Rovers perfectly comfortably without it all disappearing.

I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of the cutbacks are due to the main companies finance people taking the reigns off the 4 loons due to pressure from their lenders.

Unfortunately they don't have the power to sell though.

I know you’re not asking the question literally, but without owners that are willing to sell, we can’t do a bleeding thing about it.

The Wednesday situation has come about relatively quickly, the owner has had financial trouble for around 12months and this is the final outcome. We on the other hand have been on the receiving end of this lot since 2011, apathy reigns and they keep paying the bills, stalemate.

My hope is, this season has seen what we believe to be cost cutting across the club, I hope the bastards are running out of ready cash and we too will slip into administration, because nothing improves whilst those swine’s own this grand old club.

VENKYS OUT – NOTHING ELSE MATTERS.

Too many fans who inexplicably see Venky's as good owners, and have such contempt for the club they purport to love that they genuinely think Blackburn Rovers is of no interest to anybody else.

Wednesday have used a projector to put messages like the one above on the home end, breaking no laws, good idea.
