  1. The club is now a shell of it's former self. Like an addict, dependant on the dealer even grateful to the dealer despite knowing the dealer is slowly killing them. We have Waggot and Co openly stating the target is now survival in the 2nd tier of English football, crowds dwindling, atmosphere sucked out of the stadium its so sad, but I fear things need to get a lot worse before we can even dream of it getting better. We are now losing the next generation of Rovers fans as so many have just lost interest and walked away, the following the club because my Dad and Grandad do disappears too. I speak to some older fans who say, ah we have been here before until Uncle Jack came along, but we still had our pride and belief on the club and those running it. Our club is on life support and will almost certainly die as we know it, but there is life after the death just ask fans of Brighton, Bolton, Rangers etc...
  2. Its a sad loss and my thoughts are with Annette and family. The club released a lovely tribute to Birdy. Personally I don't think the passing a Birdy should be part of the remembrance ceremony. I rapturous applause and no doubt singing will happen on the 74th minute. What I do think would be a lasting a fitting memory would be for the club to Finally develop the much promised museum within Ewood and with the support of the family get some of the Birdy collection on display. RIP fellow Rover
  3. Some saw this coming, others went into denial whilst some inexplicably turned against protests. In the not to distant future we will all be able reflect on what we did in the name of our club, as we look over the wreckage of the venky era. Personally I'm comfortable with my actions over this period. Some I fear will look back with regret.
  4. The best manager we have had for a number of years. He is ambitious and wants to progress. Sadly the board and I presume owners are more than happy to tread water and "survive" in the championship.
  5. Cheston was there? I bet his input was riveting
  6. I was hoping to get the yellow third shirt, but not sure if there are more expected?
  7. A great result for "John Dahls Babes", I feared the worst when I saw the line up. Just goes to show why JDT is a manager and were just fans... I sense JDT is building something kind of special at Ewood, if we can keep hold of him.
  8. 1. Who will win this year’s Championship ? Leicester 2. Who will claim runners-up spot ? Leeds 3. Who will finish rock bottom in the Championship ? Plymouth 4. Where will Rovers finish this season in the league ? 12th 5. How many league goals will Rovers score this season ? 52 6. Who will win the BRFCS POTY ? Adam Wharton
  9. The restrictions have been put back until October 1st. And Venkys have long known about it.
  10. No disrespect mate, but that sounds like an answer from $waggot himself. Was he challenged? Venkys knew 100% that this change was bring brought in back in February, the budget was set knowing this... Also it doesn't come into play until October so now should be the time to invest. Not knocking you mate as I know you are sound and want the same as us all.. $waggot is a snake oil salesman and doesn't look upto the job.
  11. Sorry if I'm late to the party today. Was all geared up to wander down to Ewood today. Spent a bit of time on social media to build upto the game and stumbled across the radio Lancashire interview. How this can be described as the best it's been in 10 years left me stunned. In fact it Totally put me off going. I appreciate the time you guys put into running the Trust, and what a thankless task it can seem at times. However there is building bridges and then there is becoming a PR outlet for the board. If the Trust truly feel this is a good time for the club, then God help us. Even JDT is kept in the dark.
  12. I have a lot of time a respect for the Rovers Trust Guys and Gals... We are the Rovers? Not a good move for me. Rovers Trust made them sound professional and everyone knew what they are about. We are the Rovers sounds like a Facebook group.. Good Luck, but not a great move imo
  13. Of course from a business and supporters point of view Promotion would be fantastic, and possibly ensure the short term future of the club. I was talking about the development of a young squad. Getting hammered week in week out could seriously damage their confidence, whereas a top 6 finish this year and Promotion next year could see the squad better prepared... That said I desperately hope we go up....
  14. I think we will surprise a few and beat Coventry, and go on to secure a top six finish.... That said I don't give us a hope of going up, and probably be better if we don't. The lads need to secure top 6 and use the experience to kick on next season. Its the hope that kills you
  15. I would 100% offer him a long term deal. The lad is a baller and could be a big player for us going forward.
  16. Maybe someone forgot to plug the fax machine in again? You can change managers, You can change players You can change the board If the clowns are still running the show, the circus will continue.
  17. Really enjoying JDT as head coach, like a breath of fresh air into the club. As much as I'm greatfull to TM for the job he did overall, it had gone stale. I hope JDT is given time and backing.
  18. My thoughts are prayers are with his family. A good, well intentioned man, who did his best at a job he probably shouldn't have been in. Also responsible for many generous acts within the wider community.. Rest In Peace Shebby.
  19. Very dubious penalty and never a straight red... This team has grown a pair and have a real fight. Most would have taken a point before kick off... It keeps a nice run of results going.
  20. Hi all, Two things, firstly thank you all so much for the good wishes, it genuinely gave me a huge lift when I heard about this thread. A quick update, I'm now home with the family and recovering. Both me and my wife (as I feared both working in the NHS) got Covid, it was awful for a week and both very poorly. I suddenly took a turn for the worse and was rushed into Hospital with a Temp of 41.2 and was admitted into intensive care. Covid, Pneumonia and Sepsis basically kicked the life out of me for several days and it was very much touch and go if I survived or not. I spent 5 days in intensive care in a pressurised oxygen CPAP hood (looked like a minion) and faced multiple organ failure. The Hospital had discussed ventilating me with my wife but luckily I started to respond to treatment. I spent a further 7 days on the Intensive care ward oxygen whilst my bloods where treated then 5 days on a general ward. I was discharged over 1.5 stone lighter (not a bad thing lol) Covids parting shot was leaving me with Type 1 Respiratory System Failure, which I should fully recover from in 6-8 weeks. Physically I feel quite well although very fatigued and get very breathless if walking about. My Oxygen levels are holding up well and my heart rate is lowering from dangerously high towards normal. Im improving day by day. ALL The staff at Royal Blackburn are immense & true heroes, I can never thank them enough or put into words how amazing they all are. They saved my life literally. I'm one of the lucky ones and I hope and pray for every one else struck with the virus.... Please all stay safe
  21. Surely it must be listed? Bit saddened, I had my wedding celebrations there it was a fantastic place.
  22. Not welcome and they're not interested... Were like a drug addict, dependant on them yet we know that if we stay with them forever they will kill us off.
