Painful Acceptance

Steady on!

They had put the club and its supporters through seven shades of shit before all that....

Indeed, you might argue that the snowball was merely a powerless response

Don't tell me, you threw it🤣

It would be more acceptable if those who caused it all and those who profit from it cleared off never to be seen again.

A cleansing of all the underlying toxicity gone for good and hopefully a rebuild of some sort however modest.

Haha. No...but  last year, I did meet a bloke, who claimed the act.

Can't recall a post ever creating this much response so quickly

So where does this leave us? If some sad souls don’t even know about the proposed boycott, we have just over a week to get it out there? None of the mates I used to go with go anymore. Empty stadium and one brave person to smuggle in a banner.

20,000+, to nothing, that’s what you’ve done, be proud, because none of us are?

I thought I would add my two pence to this conversation as someone in the coalition and as a fan. 

I used to love football and get excited about watching Blackburn Rovers. 

I don't anymore. Every inch of love has been taken away by a club that desperately needs help. 

Owners who don't care and continue to be absent

Senior management running the club, who do not have the capacity or understanding of what this club means to the community, fans, etc. 

More projects than the Two Ronnies 4 Candles Sketch

I've started watching rugby to fill the void. 

For people who say that we're entitled. People who say we don't ever attend matches. The list could go on

I'll make this simple. I don't want PL football.  

I want my club back.  I want to feel something for Blackburn Rovers

I want owners who care. 

Suhail Pasha and RAO Family

Your time at this football club has to end. It's nothing but short of a disaster

So many of these thoughts are exactly how I feel.

I stripped my Rovers room last week (moving house).

Memories going back nearly 50 years, all boxed and no intention of being dIsplayed again. Was going to sell/donate it all, but wife said NO.

Season tickets un-used since turn off the taps were announced.

I wont attend again this season, and wont be renewing either.

Wife may take kids for the rest of season (that will be her choice and it will purely be for the girls), they love their football, but the tradition of my family all being rovers fans, may break as my girls love Mbappe etc and will choose who they support as they get older uninfluenced by tradition.

 

 

Probably an even sadder post than the OP. This chap bleeds blue and white, like we all do, but he's battled hard over many years to break the Venky's regime, at great personal and emotional cost according to his postings - and now even he's given up.

There is cause for optimism here - however slim it might be. It's often said that it is darkest before the dawn and these grimmest of grim times might be the nadir. Something, somewhere, maybe soon, will cause Venky's to sell up and leave.  We have to cling to that hope.

I haven’t posted a whole lot over the years on here but coming across this thread has really hit something inside me.

Hope, that’s all you need as a Football fan isn’t it? I was born in 1990, just too young to remember the title winning team properly but my word had some of the best times of my life watching Souness/Hughes era.

We also had some times under Jack Walker/Graeme Souness where things didn’t go to plan, but you knew there was a plan behind the scenes, a direction, something to get behind, hope…

Nobody is guaranteed Premier League football, no matter how much you spend or how well the club is ran, it’s Football…I don’t think we as a fan base feel entitled to it? I think that is what Rudy Gestede feels with his ‘it isn’t 1995 anymore’ type comments, we just want hope, and the club, its supporters, staff and players to be treated with some common decency.

It’s exhausting but so hard to stay away/out of touch when it’s been a part of your life since you could remember. Some of the worst and most embarrassing days I’ve witnessed at Rovers in the last 15 years but somehow a week removed from a game, something inside me wants to watch and support MY team. I’d go so far as to saying their reign has affected my passion for Football.

I gave up my season ticket after we had just scraped staying up the season they took over, you could see it all coming a mile off, it took them a matter of months to poison the club, and sadly we have lost a GENERATION of fans or potential fans because of this seemingly never ending nightmare.

The neglect of Ewood Park and the infrastructure of the club for 15 years is symbolic of their tenure at the club.

Please, just leave.

So why don't they want Rovers to be successful?l

Because if we're successful they have to sell the club

That be Abbey. Remember him well from the 80’s travelling days, a passionate Rovers man who could take no more.
