Boycott Or Not?

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)

We have had exposure on Radio Lancs, TalkSport & the Daily Mail in the last 24 hours…I’d say that was a decent effort all round TBH. 

Raising the profile of our case needs “little & often” activities I think to build momentum.

He's essentially given out numbers for Rudy, Suhail and Yasir.

Confirmed he's not a Rovers fan but very much anti venkys.

He also dropped a hint saying his team was a similar shirt just red and white. Thinking about that comment, Feyenoord immediately springs to mind. This person is clearly an ex employee who hates venkys and their cronies.

We have an ex manager who left on bad terms and has Feyenoord links, or am I reading way too much into it? 🤔

Waaay too much I’d say…I love JDT but…😆

I just hope today is a great success,an important message is sent out that the fans have had enough and its the start of the end of Venkys reign of terror.

Stick together.

Just to hopefully add a bit of levity to this dreadful situation. I've been going on Ewood Park since 1978 (aged 7) with my dad, and my son joined us in 2008, (also aged 7) 

My dad is now aged 80. We discussed the pros and cons of a boycott at length yesterday. He listened intently to everything I said, asked a series of thoughtful questions, mulled it over for 20 minutes....

and then made a decision to check the weather forecast this morning!

I was just reading that Rochdale have just received a grant of £250,000 towards the pitch that they have renewed over the last couple of months.  No chance of us being smart enough to do stuff like that.

When does the 'actual' attendance get released? Be interesting to see the difference with the 'official' one!

Will be boycotting along with two others.

Are there any plans for the PNE game - maybe going on 15 minutes later or something else?

I think a 15 minute no show and Red cards when we return to our seats. Impactful and visual

I am in warmer climes but I would be boycotting if in UK..

Find it a  very difficult to watch these days !

This is my 57th season , this squad of players is the pits !

Never seen BRFC so devoid of talent !

We can all get behind a sh1t side, devoid of talent, if we know the clubs pulling in the right direction Waggy76.

The current happenings at Ewood are by design.

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.

Empty stadium and 3 points would no doubt  assist recovery.

’Its the only day of week I can get rid of the bloody wife’ Was one reply 🤣

If he must, tell her he is off to match and then spend the afternoon down the pub !

100%..Never a truer word Spoken.

[rog of the rovers]

I am going today, though I have respect to anyone who is boycotting.

I think it’s a deeply personal decision and whatever decision you choose is the right one for you.

Lets all hope we can be discussing a successful on field performance along with the boycott at 5pm

[Norn Iron Rover]

Good luck to all those boycotting today. Here's hoping it's the beginning of the end of Venky's.

Not many clubs wear a red and white halved shirt….could you imagine 😂

More likely that someone is writing all that to make it look like JDT (or someone close to him) in my opinion.

Life only normally allows me to get back up for a couple of home games a season with my girls - and its an opportunity to visit family at the same time. We'd planned in this weekend to be one of those weekends a while ago. However, we're still very much in Sussex today. will be at QPR away - but not sure when we'll get to Ewood next now.

Hope today can make a difference.
