Boycott Or Not?

Ultimately we need to build up to a boycott of season tickets, although this could well happen naturally.

I disagree with that, as many people go to Ewood for many reasons and the owners are not one of them.

We need minor protest sustained over a long period for me, get our plight back in the media, then mass boycotts per games if possible. 

I speak to lots of people from across the footballing spectrum and the response to me being a Rovers fan is always:

’Are you still owned by the chicken lot’ - Oh yes!!

If £600k gets you a DeNeve I’d rather it was spent on the women’s team.

Blackburn knows how to do a boycott.

Tickets sold for the screening of the Melania film in Blackburn are

ZERO

1 So, all the journalism circa 2010-11 about the shady dealings with Kentaro are hot air?

 

Which shady dealings are you referring to?

An agent was operating out of Brockhall and was bypassing the board on transfer dealings making sure certain agents profited. This is known through the JW letters and the authorities are aware, but have chosen to ignore it. However the agents fees paid are known. It's not new knowledge.

The other dodgy dealings are we paid ridiculously high agents fees and only bought players from he same pot. But I'm not sure that's illegal, just badly run.

The past rumours which could be unearthed in due diligence due to a a sale are Venkys didn't fully own the club, they were just a proxy, match fixing / betting (highly unlikely and wouldn't show in due diligence) and any evidence of money laundering (highly unlikely).

So, getting back to the boycott, what's happening going forward?

Anything at all planned for the next 2 home games?

When will we know the actual attendance at Ewood for the Watford game?

[frosty]

Roughly 3000 at Lazio (average attendance over 40,000) v Genoa last night after a boycott was called. Well done them.
