He is indeed, from Todmorden and why I never liked him 😂

Occam's Razor looms large -

Weeds growing out of the crumbling steps on the Riverside, mould and moss on the gantries above the Darwen and Blackburn End, no Sky Sports in the blues bar, the botched Anniversary Kit, no hot food for press, doesn't take a genius to work out there's an issue. Regarding the pitch, it almost doesn't matter, the latest chapter in the Venky's book of bullshit - just add it to the long list. This is why fans are at their wit's end, it's the wafer-thin mint that tips us over the edge. Rovers are a cost-cutting exercise, not a football club.

Like Ismael said today, there's lots of "heads of" at the club, it points to no accountability and no solid structure emanating from the top down.

I go to games with my 76 year old father, we both live over an hour away, it's been our tradition ever since I moved back up north in 2007, we have a pub lunch and a pint or two, and enjoy getting away for the afternoon. We dissect the game long into the week, and repeat come the next fixture. For the first time this Saturday, since I started supporting Rovers in '92, we actually came to blows leaving the ground and had an unsavoury argument regarding the running of the club. Tensions were a little high due to a wasted afternoon - we've since made up and laughed it off - but it highlighted for me the sheer frustration and desolate feeling this latest drama has created.

It's almost poetic in a way that the pitch has failed like this, the very thing needed to actually play the game. It's a perfect, visible representation of the owner's neglect.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again- the only way to make your voice heard is to stop buying anything off them. Until Ewood is completely empty for a couple of matches, they won’t listen. If it’s completely empty, the penny might finally drop in India, that they’re not wanted.

I am a ST holder and go every home match and a good few away. Attending Ewood now feels like a duty and a chore rather than a positive experience that I look forward to and this is all down to the muppets who run this club. Nothing would give me greater pleasure than not renewing my ST or boycotting fixtures should there be a formal call from the coalition / Trust / LT so that everyone is up for it. We need a totally empty stadium to send a clear message that enough is enough.

I was like  yourself until summer. When Eustace walked, that was my signal to boycott and not renew my season ticket.

If the stadium gets emptied, Suhail WILL have to ask for more money. At that point, Mrs Desai might wonder what’s going on.

The stadium needs to be empty every home game, not just a one-off.

The pitch is clearly a problem, everyone can see it, yet there’s still been no comment or statement from the club about what they’re doing to fix it.
 

You’d think at the very least they’d acknowledge it and outline a plan, as stated by VI today.
 

The silence - while not surprising at all - is unbelievable at this point.
