Me neither, but if someone had said that certain fans, would receive threats  and intimidating phone calls, from someone who was very influential, at the club, in the early days of the new ownership, I would not have believed that either, but hey ho.

Of course there are good people working at Rovers (my own brother in law for one, who’s just left by the way as it’s a horrendously run organisation, so he’s got himself a much more stable job where he feels valued).

We are talking about the regime executive leadership, obviously.

That's no surprise and hence the veiled threats we now see.

We seem to have come full circle on this now. They fight back in civil meetings and find us out, so let's resort to threats.

Yes the club deserves lots of credit for hastily arranging an overseas game on the basis home fans are allowed in to watch but away fans are banned (for no good reason) but at least Rovers announced 30 minutes before kick off that we could watch it on YouTube.

Brilliant that.

I did say a few days before hand I thought the game would be live streamed on YouTube. 

On why fans weren't allowed, that was linked to trouble in a friendly 2012 Blackburn Rovers won't rule out supporter action after cancelled friendly - Sports Mole

Who come we have played this weekend, alot of PL teams overseas so who could we play instead?

A few other Championship clubs played foreign sides at home.

No problem with who and where we played. A big problem with the seemingly amateurish preperation and travel simply ill fitting of a supposed Championship side. If true, of course.

As a one off, it could be forgiven, but it isn't and some of the things that go on, are quite frankly embarrassing. 

Does anyone believe for example that the way the club have marketed our 150th anniversary is acceptable?

I'll ask again - why was the game only announced less than 2 weeks ago after having a blank weekend in the diary for months?

And more importantly why are Rovers agreeing to / arranging a game - the final friendly before the season starts in our 150th anniversary season - not behind closed doors but open to home fans and closed to away fans?

If I was running Rovers and Nijmegen or their local authorities started coming with that sort of stuff I would have told them to 'do one' and found someone else to play who was willing to accommodate both home and away fans. 

I went to Holland in 2012 and whatever 'trouble' there was blown out of all proportion and there was very little evidence of any trouble or risk of it. Why that means 13 years later a hundred or so people couldn't go to watch a friendly I'm not sure.

Still waiting to hear how social media videos with the players and streams of friendlies on YouTube shows any kind of comms improvement/is something to praise a Championship club for?

Another question you need to be asking Rovers instead of posting on here email and seek the answers you want to your question. 

Rumours were Waggott was lining up a home friendly before his departure, who against I don't or what ever happened I don't.

email or asked the Dutch authorities why this was done? email Rovers have asked the same questions you are here instead of posting on here?

Who knows.

It won't stop me posting what I do and if they think they can ban me for calling them out for the way they are damaging the club, I have supported through thick and thin for 5 years, they are wrong.

But you are forgetting that Chaddy predicted the game would be streamed. That’s what makes the difference here. Obviously.
