Venky’s & Waggott Out Protest Ideas

I couldn’t agree more. I only see two ways out:

1) The Indian government somehow make it impossible for Venkys to own the club - probably risking administration.

2) The fan base unites and makes it completely impossible for anyone from Venkys to be here. The only way this works is if someone is willing to put their career, home life and health at risk by fronting it all.

Sadly the second option risks unrest, which the majority of the fan base will not get behind. So we’ll continue plodding along on a negative trajectory until we’re a shell of a football club. 

Number 2 will absolutely not happen. Too many people have walked away and the majority that remain have the brain capacity of a half eaten banana.

Number 1 it is then.

The games have to be disrupted. It's the only way to bring attention to our plight.

Liam Livingston is playing in the Indian Premier leauge. He is a proud Rovers fan, a few anti Venkys comments from him in his interviews will surely really damage the Raos in their own back yard.

Will he though? Will it damage his career out there? Just a few chosen words could help the cause though. Let’s hope he says something.

Its interesting to note, that a number of our 'celebrity fans' didn't want to get involved in the mud slinging back in the early days of this lots reign. I know several attempts were made to try and bring more publicity to our plight and many celebs ran a mile.

We appear to be going round in circles as fans,unable to agree on a course of united action,most on here voice our angst but at Ewood the protests are a token presence and are muted at best....frustration reigns supreme in the Stands.

Also, only Sutton and Speedie have publicly spoken out against our plight as ex Players....a really poor do imo.

End of the day you just aren’t going to get more than one man and his dog on organised protests on a match day. We saw that in 2012 when the club actually had a big profile, big gates and the fanbase were generally united in thinking this lot were a rum bunch.

Now we’ve a small profile, small gates and the fanbase are anything but united in their views on these owners.

The only chance you have is for it to organically kick off at the ground - we saw it a little bit at the Stoke game, you would at the Coventry game if that game sent us down, but that’s about it.

Here, actual sizeable protest always takes the same form - fans walk away, and we’ll see that again soon enough with the upcoming season ticket sales.

Realistically there's over ten thousand of us that have been protesting for fourteen years.

You only need a few more than ‘one man and his dog’ to get things going again. You don’t need (and wouldn’t get) 500 or so staying behind on the Blackburn End after games. An overwhelming percentage of the fan base is passive now. Tactics need to change and, as evidenced by the tennis balls on the pitch, a few games ago, this sort of tactic can work.

Ok, even the southern softy, almost Home Counties Reading lot showed us how to get things done. Tennis balls on the pitch, followed by several hundred supporters on the pitch. Reading for fuck’s sake. Let that sink in. Not Millwall, not Stoke, not Portsmouth, not West Ham…but Reading.

Where has the youth of Blackburn and East Lancs gone? A proud, working class, northern town has gone soft. Back to what happened at Ewood a few games ago. Those actions got the game stopped, even if it were for only two or three minutes. The commentators explained why this ‘mini protest’ was happening, so the message had got across. But that was then followed up by nothing. Any momentum, as slight as it was, was lost.

I don’t get involved on here any more and I only attend a few games each season but there have been literally hundreds of pages on several threads criticising Venky’s and the same folk are wringing their hands, shrugging their shoulders and saying the same things over and over and over and over again. Without actually doing anything.

We have been told that Venky’s won’t sell and Venky’s have made it clear that they won’t entertain discussions with potential suitors, should any suitors be found. The court case in India aside, only one thing has the potential to make them reconsider. That is a course of action by the supporters to ‘out’ them.

Rome is burning and we are sleepwalking into oblivion.

Don’t disagree with any of that CLB, but if the Indian courts don’t force them out, I can’t see how a few oiks (in their lofty view) half way round the world would.

You could be right Matty. There again, you could be wrong. If folk keep saying the same old things time after time and don’t start taking action, we’ll never know.

We owe it to Jack, if nothing else.

Reading fans to stage protest at England match over football’s ‘negligent’ owners

Great work by Reading fans again 👏

“We want to remind fans that while it’s Reading that are in trouble today, it could be someone else tomorrow. We need the new independent regulator for English football to have the necessary powers to safeguard clubs and solve systemic issues. The world is watching – collective responsibility is needed to ensure we have a regulator with real teeth.

The future of football depends on it.”

As it’s Good Friday, who fancies handcuffing themselves to the goal frame dressed as Jesus?

Saving Blackburn Rovers from the Venky’s and Steve Maggott’s sins for the greater good of football 😆

We could kill them and they would rise from the dead before we kick off at Sunderland
