All more than happy to go into hospitality for the day, get a fabric cap etc. Let's be honest they've all moved on 30 years ago we won the prem. They are but relegated (no pun intended) to he history books now and that's all they are. They have no reason to defend us or get involved with it all this far on 1 Quote
Mattyblue Posted 5 hours ago Posted 5 hours ago ‘Have Blackburn still got those owners? Not like Jack Walker’s day. Ah well’ …will be the only thought most ex-players ever give it (and even that’s if prompted). 3 Quote

Their commitment to inclusivity and development at grassroots level is truly commendable." But not the owners point Quote
aletheia Posted 5 hours ago Posted 5 hours ago Press, politicians, bishops all had a go when the Raos first came and started the damage. Defeaning silence from the owners. Perhaps, there may be a new round of such voices. I keep getting an image in my head of The Black Knight as the last fan going to Rovers shouts "just support the team" only to find that there is no team on the pitch. 🙂 1 Quote

Plus Blackburn MP or Tim Farron could ask questions in Parliament about the ownership including during PMQ's or UQ. They could say anything and not face any legal action but dont. Wonder why? I feel that's the best way to act to get them. Sheffield MP Clive Betts asked questions during PMQ's and Culture, Media and Sport sessions about the Sheffield Wednesday owner. Its was HRMC that bought him down. Quote

Which will look really bad for the football association, so the government will not touch it. 1 Quote

roversfan99 Posted 3 hours ago Posted 3 hours ago This "what about disabled and elderly fans" argument is bizarre even for chaddy. Im sure there are some disabled and elderly fans who are also desperate for change and would welcome an attempt to try and force change. Quote

Given what I have posted over the months and years the question was already answered but I dont not believe in breaking the law to make your like someone is advocating on here. Its on those who choose to do so. How you get the owners get sell is a point no-one can give my answer. Attendances down over the years, drop to league 1, had offers of help and supports from people,had people inquiry and put bids in all rejected. We seem protests, walk out during games but nothing has changed. Anyway that's my final comments in this thread 1 Quote

aletheia Posted 1 hour ago Posted 1 hour ago Thinking back to my post earlier with the picture showing a reference to the peaceful protests in Parliament Square, it wouldn’t be an easy thing to copy. First, stewards would confiscate any placards. Second, Ewood is a private place so I’m not sure there is any right to protest even peacefully. Third, if maybe lots of ‘senior’ fans linked arms with placards (or even lay down) outside the ground, I suspect they would then get abused by fans who just want to watch a match. I think first base should be a match boycott –see what the appetite is among fans for straightforward action. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Glen (and I’m sure there are many others, now and in the past) for efforts to make this club better. It must be very difficult with an obdurate, arrogant and distant regime willing to use bullying and litigious methods against its own fanbase. Quote
