Venky’s & Waggott Out Protest Ideas

Travis has posted an Instagram story saying it's disappointing news about Les Field (manager's PA and first team player liaison) and that she'll be missed.

She's always seemed very popular with players going off their social media.

People like her being made redundant while Waggott gets a big pay rise. Feel ill at the fact that I've renewed my season ticket.

 

You were fully informed about what you were signing up for.

I don’t know to much about these redundancies, but if you’ve been working at the club for over30yrs, you’re about to get a golden handshake in redundancy pay, I’d be over the bloody moon!!

Many people retire with a pint down the pub if they’re lucky, but I don’t know the details.

Dunno about that. Statutory redundancy pay isn't great, and i can't imagine the club has gone above and beyond for anyone if made redundant.

Correct. But I’d still rather be at Ewood than on here moaning about the ref every week.

Last time I was involved it was 1.5 weeks pay x 30yrs, or length of service, but this may have now been capped at 20yrs.

But again, I don’t know the people or circumstances.

It's only 1.5 weeks pay for any years worked over the age of 40, 1 weeks pay for anything before that.

No idea how old Leslie is or the annual salary for that position so like you say guesswork with circumstances.

Hopefully they have looked after her with an enhanced package but probably unlikely under this regime.

To be fair I’ll still be paying less than you buying an individual ticket most games. But the thought of giving any money at all to Waggot, Pasha and Venky’s is a horrible one.

I won't be going to most games this season, because of altered kick-off times that i cannot make due to public transport.

Yes - a real downside of the ever changing kick off times is for many this messes up transport.

Is it worth (on these forums somewhere?) seeing if there someone near you who would carshare to matches?

I live in Swindon and I did that years ago on here and someone messaged me and I was able to get to a few more games.

[Mattyblue]

My father in law who has been going since the late 1950s hasn’t renewed, for him it was the TV factor. He has Sky and he has  a fair drive to games, so the fact he could see two thirds of our home games on TV made it a much easier decision.

The week's salary isn't your actual weekly pay either...it's capped..

Very true and capped , unless you can agree an enhanced package 

 

If you were made redundant on or after 6 April 2025, your weekly pay is capped at £719 and the maximum statutory redundancy pay you can get is £21,570. If you were made redundant before 6 April 2025, these amounts will be lower.

+ notice pay (for Lesley the statutory minimum for this would be 12 weeks).

I imagine she’d rather be keeping her job though.

No doubt she'll have to sign the usual ( keep your gob shut on this shit show ) NDA and get a better pay off with the stuff she probably knows 😉

I never ever get the whole NDA thing.

You literally sign an NDA before joining any company?

[Upside Down]

But I thought people would only lose their jobs if venkys left?

The Masher Paradox

[Ossydave]

Redundancy is awful when it's happens, went through it myself 18 months or so ago.

BUT looking back, it's one of the best things to happen to me. I too at that point was working in a toxic place, much like I imagine the staff there now are. Blind loyalty by myself kept me there longer than I really ought to have stayed and I imagine existing staff at Rovers are similar.

Frasers group are as cunt like as Venkys.

It's usually when you leave, to keep you quiet, it also usually says you won't go after them for unfair or constructive dismissal, in exchange for a better redundancy package.

I know how you felt given I used to work there until 14 years ago after 8 years of service when I was made redundant, but it was probably time for me to go but try new experiences and jobs. 

Still have few friends who worked there until they were made redundant by Fraser Group only last October/November they left.

Has it been confirm Lesley Fielding has left the club or just a rumour at this stage? 

[JamieUK]

A post by Travis saying she'll be missed and Rovers advertising her job isn't enough confirmation? She's gone...

If she has been made redundant then her job can't be advertised as the same job as what the law used to be. Don't know these days

It's not, it's been split into 3 roles so they're fine.

Feels like such a weird redundancy?

I can't get my head around it.
