This thread over on the breakaway forum is certainly an alternative view to the one here to say the least.

Lost the plot that place, used to be a hornet’s nest of anti-Venkyism. In reality, just contrarians.

As an aside, stand to be corrected, but I thought Barmitzvah Blue was Mike Graham, has he flip-flopped again? (Oh and that’s where the Chadster’s gone 😁. I was wondering why threads were no longer going down rabbit holes).

The sales of Jones, Kalinic and Samba brought in enough to cover V;s purchase price plus the inherited overdraft.

I'd love to know where all that money went seeing as we still had Prem income then to run the club and previous losses were i think sub 10 million.

Indeed. That has always pissed me off...And yet, didn't they have to request advance payment of parachute monies?

The whole thing stinks ....like a dead rat under the floorboards!

Some familiar names on there.

Take it Drog is thenodrog formerly of this parish and goozburger was formerly a reasonably regular contributor on here although he had a hissy fit with me at some point as I recall.

Who's Old Darwen Blue - how dare he call me a lefty!🤣

I was also wondering where chaddy had gone but those particular posts seem to pre date his most recent posts on here. Maybe he's trying to work out how all the meticulous planning he said we'd done hasnt translated into signings yet.

He’s posting on there as of yesterday, last page of the thread Mark’s linked.

Has he been banned? Normally he gets huffy if asked where he’s been ‘I’ve been on night shift!’

What a strange place over there. Apparently I have special needs and lots of their members would like to do me physical harm. Then someone will use the in trend word "weaponise" again and theh will all be up in arms talking about respecting etc. The double standards currently on show is astonishing. 

How many members and contributors over there?

well done promoting division 👍🏻 in the fan base whoever crossed over to the other one

It’s about a dozen ex-BRFCS on a loop.

(Sure they’ll have a go at me now though I don’t ever recall falling out with any of them, well maybe, the Chadster).

He’s having a bit of an enforced time out, he’ll be back with a bang in a couple of weeks I’m sure

You can guarantee most of them will read this board more than they post on there.

Has drog been on a recruitment drive on the LT comments section ?

Seems to have a few from there, i cannot believe in 2026 after 15 years of that lot i'm still seeing 'naive' and 'bad advice'.

What I would say is the sentiments of that thread, even now, I hear in the ground on a regular basis.

I do like the old 'You wouldn't be moaning if we were winning'..  Correct.  I have nothing against the ownership other than the apparent malaise and lack of ambition. If tomorrow Venky's decided they were pumping money in, aiming to re-establish us a PL side.  Did the stadium and Brockhall up. Appointed some top notch staff and players I'm sure everyone would be delighted.  All I want is to enjoy watching the Rovers again.  I'd love nothing more than the above to happen- but water in the bridge tells me it's very unlikely. They came in with big ambitions, champions league didn't they?  Not we'll be lucky to stay in the Championship. Call me a sinical but I don't see any of that happening- for that reason,  I just want them gone and a fresh start.

Im surprised at the level of vitriol they have towards supporters with a different viewpoint and this site in particular.

Imo it merely reinforces the point that I was having a Mrs. Merton style "heated debate" with Matty about. There's absolutely no point trying to win the hearts and minds of everyone, some supporters just won't agree. However to my mind if a boycott has SOME success it's job done. Similarly if the Coalition feel a boycott and/or subsequent protests are the right thing to do they must press on regardless of whether some disagree.

If anyone else wants to formally present the other point of view about why most of us on here and the Coalition are completely wrong then of course it's always open to them to do so.

Tbf to chaddy he seems to be doing his best to emphasise everyone should respect everyone else's point of view on there.
