Maybe he was asked and said no thanks ?

Morning Everyone, just letting everyone know that I've just handed in my resignation to the Fans Forum.

I'm sure there will be a replacement announced in due course.

Being completely honest, this has been on the cards for a while, but I've tried to soldier on.

Sitting in a room and remaining civil with people I believe are responsible for the destruction of the club has just become too difficult. This, coupled with all the drama surrounding the release of the minutes and criticism of forum members has made me question why I'm doing it at all, to be honest. I can certainly think of better ways to spend my time.

I've not been able to achieve what I set out to do and because I don't think the club will prosper until our owners leave, I think sitting in a room with them quarterly, just adds to this frustration.

No matter what people may think of my contribution, I know that I never let anyone off the hook, always held the club responsible and without blowing my own trumpet, I'm confident I represented the message board with pride.

Be a bit of a strange flex to get my snake out in a meeting, tbh.

Precisely why i never get involved and i have the utmost respect for those who do despite sometimes differing opinions.

The club is infested by self serving parasites before we even get to the actual ownership.

Got to think of your own mental health first pal, better off out of it.

You lasted far longer than I would've done pal, anyone thats sits opposite those cunts and doesnt punch them in the face deserves a medal. Thanks for making the effort, fingers crossed we're closer to the end than the beginning.

Cue the next person to say "but we still need to keep communicating", whilst all those that have genuinely gone out of their way to try this like @K-Hod and @Mike Graham are saying it is futile.

Can see the club have now announced the tiers of membership packages on the website. Hard to see how the prices justify the benefits, it basically seems like a pass to get into Blues Bar. 

Of course they've not bothered to use an image of Ewood park on the images, looks like a photo of some South American stadium.

It rings in my ears nearly 4 years on:

‘There’s nothing special about Blackburn Rovers’ - then Head of Marketing, Paul Fielder. A man who couldn’t convince his own son to support his own club (Hull), preferring to watch Arsenal fans (not even Arsenal games) on YouTube. And the obsession with NFTs… fucking hell.

[roverblue]

Probably for the best considering the whole thing seems to have turned into a farce especially the last meeting. The frustration from myself and others on here relate to getting to know what was said rather than anyone's individual contributions.

The whole thing needs disbanding with something more transparent put in its place.

Fair play to you Kenny and the effort you put it and I admire you immensely for dong it.

I know it isn't an easy task, and I think the frustrations surrounding the minutes this time, did cause some consternation, some of it probably a bit OTT and I include myself in that. 

Hopefully, people will continue to try to bring these people to task, I have had a go more under the radar than above it, but it did include a 1-2-1 meeting with Waggott, that I flew over from Spain to attend.

That got me nowhere, other than like you, more frustrated than ever, but I am sure when they do eventually go, we can all look back with pride on the efforts we have made to save the club from ruin and ensure it survives for our future generations, to enjoy as we have.

Thanks for taking the fight to them Kenny and on a personal note thanks for asking questions on my behalf.

I fully understand your rationale and doing what your conscience and heart tell you.

Eyes and ears of the owners is about the size of it, as already mentioned today and previously.

Lowe is the owner’s eyes and ears, Pasha is their arsehole?

It's a stock image of River Plates ground. The glossing over the small details at this club is so embarrassing.

Well done for trying. I certainly couldn't have sat in the same room as Waggott after he tried to flog Brockhall off and I doubt it's got any better since he left.

Without it being meant as a criticism of individual members, other than the last meeting I feel the Forum has become counter productive in recent years. For the Club it's just been a vehicle to make themselves look better by creating the illusion that they communicate with the fans and actually listen to, or are bothered about, anything they say.

When in reality most of the time the responses given by the Club over the last few years have been an affront to any rational person's intelligence.

Hang on, you do know on one day a year you get 10% off in the shop… actual kit and training gear excluded, of course!

Roll up, roll up with your 35 quid!

This is exactly the ring of Steel surrounding Venkys that I refer to...individuals more than prepared to do their bidding for remuneration.They are not fans of the Club,they dont care of the consequences.

The feelings of angst and frustration amongst the Supporter base is deliberately not being relayed back to Pune Towers.Matters ARE being censured.

Sorry for mentioning the war, but do we have any explanation yet as to how we've ended up with various versions of the minutes and how the sanitised version were apparently initially agreed with the Club?
