On radio lancs too but longer

I've been going on Ewood since 1975, a ST holder for the vast majority.

I've thought long and hard about whether to boycott or not. I rarely miss and it goes against the grain, but I've decided to swerve tomorrow's game.

They have totally ruined our club.

Not an easy decision my friend, respect to you.

I often think that myself Len, but you’d need a 10 part series to do that.

Not easy for the people getting the airtime, usually responding to a question or questions.

From my experience they talk for one hour and pick a minute or two, always been case.

Spent over an hour with Daily mail but so many things not reported

When did you last raise your head above the parapet?

Easy to find fault.

Read the post below. It was a criticism of Radio Lancs Sport NOT the supporters!

And don't be so defensive!

I guess I expect much more from our local radio station...I know how hard it is for fans. I guess I  was frustrated that Glen Little got so much airtime and what sounded like a PNE fan ..

But I do acknowledge my general frustration about Rovers fans either not being heard or actually being dismissed /patronised/undermined..( TalkSport etc)

It's awful, isn't it.

My eldest is up from London and we had been planning to go to this game together for ages. My own name will be counted in the attendance, whatever I do.

But we have to stay away for this game.

We (he and I)just cannot allow ourselves to do anything that could be seen or shown to undermine the action. We agreed that we had to back The Coalition.

Oh, don't worry. I should have let it go.

I know how hard you have all been working and I can see how my own post could have been misinterpreted. I should have taken more care.

I really appreciate all your efforts and I'll be willing to help more actively, if/when required.

Well for my sins I’m in RBH with pneumonia! Wasn’t going anyway as I haven’t been for probably 5-Years, but good on everyone not going, if it’s the beginning to an end then alls well that ends well. Fuck off Venkys, you are not welcome here.

Best of luck with the boycott tomorrow — the continuous fight from you guys is the hope I’m holding on to that this club still has a future.
Cheering you on from abroad.

One interesting snippet from that article was that Sohail apparently sat a football management course in Manchester within the last year or two.

If that is true then it demonstrates what we are dealing with here. Both he and Rudy learning on the job, zero experience or background and we are paying the price for it, all with the approval of our wonderful benefactors in India. 

Or rather "not learning on the job"!!
