Someone needs to get a grip of this and lead a unified effort, before we’re in the same state as Reading. I’ve personally not stepped foot inside Ewood since JDT left. I suspect others are the same.
Alarm bells need to be ringing now though. Can we get a meeting organised asap on Zoom, and get a committee in place, to put together some coordinated action?
We’ve gone full circle in playing style here. This has been like watching paint dry for long periods. It reminds me of the Allardyce days, without the threat of set pieces.
I suggested that on another post, we have several working parties, focusing on different roles, in order to spread the workload.
Full credit to those lads too, but we need to learn from those protests- what worked well and what wasn’t worth the effort.
I agree about the above Without meaning to sound offensive, as fans (me included), we just look like a bunch of angry keyboard warriors.
It’s crying out for someone to take the lead and direct. I’m hoping the above Facebook group- which I’ve joined- does that.
From my perspective, rather than laughing at these fans (some of which are completely barmy, admittedly), we need to try and educate them, if we’re going to get rid of the clowns running the club.
It’s vital, that in times like this, we’re a unified voice, to be as effective as possible.
Lots of different groups appearing here.
We need one unified group to be as effective as possible. Without wanting to sound picky too, people running the social media events/ groups/ pages, need to be literate, so that we’re taken seriously.

Time to use this publicity and get the protest movement up and running.
Ideally, we need to set up a meeting on Zoom or in a pub, to coordinate unified action.
From that, I’d propose setting up different working groups.
Group 1- Focus on protests at Ewood and away games on match days.
Group 2- Focus on internet based protests, such as commenting on Venky’s social media pages.
Group 3- Focus on applying on pressure The FA
Group 4- Focus on digging into Venky’s in India and why they still keep hold of us.
You get the picture, but we need to get organised.
Good idea.
I asked this yesterday (and I’ve not had a reply notification to my post), but has a committee been set up yet to get all these great ideas off the ground?
It’s fine expressing our disapproval on here and other social media forms, but we need concrete action to start putting some proper pressure on Waggot and the clowns running the club.
Something else that needs to be addressed too, to get as many people on board as possible, is who would take over our club, and put in X amount each year, to stop us from going to the wall.
Excellent ideas there…
I’m not sure if this has been mentioned, but we could do with a working committee to get things organised and moving, otherwise these ideas will never become a reality. Within that, one sub-committee could focusing on the UK (pressuring Waggot and Pasha to walk) and the other one could focus on India.
Also, targeted Facebook adverts might be useful… in Pune. When I was involved in the Darwen Bailey’s Field housing protest, some of the members paid out for a long running advert on Facebook, and it made people aware of the situation.
