Suspect what we are seeing is simply the stooges at Ewood, probably just Suhail and his little gang, feeling some pressure about falling short of their financial targets from India.

So probably a storm in a teacup, because all that usually happens is that India has to send some more cash over to make up the shortfall and on it goes.

Now if India is unwilling or unable to do that then things could get really interesting.

But ultimately it's probably just Suhail and Sufi panicking that, amazingly, after what's gone on here over the last few years, that people aren't buying it any more and are walking away/cutting their financial support.

Who could have seen that coming?

This lot are so clueless they probably don't draw any sort of link between their appalling conduct and decline in income/support.

The one's who don't go don't wanna know unless we are winning every week and then they suddenly forget the Venky hate.

The one's who do go don't want to know real boycotts even though most of them hate the owners and those running it and can see the damage done.

Catch 22, bizarre club and fans you lot.

That's from a Bolton fan looking in from the outside.

Of course attendance is higher when the team is winning - you're more inclined to go if you're more likely to have a good time, rather than a waste of time. The other factor is cost - I can only speak for myself but with everything costing more these days, I've far less disposable income for leisure and many are likely in a similar position. 

Combine the above and it's not tempting to use your money on the 'product' at ewood. In 22 years (since I've been driving, I live 35 miles away )this is the longest I've gone into a season without seeing the team.

We’ve spent three out of four years knocking on the doors of the PL, ST sales haven’t budged.

Indeed average crowds have hardly moved in a decade - whereas the entire game from the top flight to well into non league has boomed, so why not here then? As on the pitch it has been not bad at times.

These owners are the anchor around the good ship Blackburn Rovers.
