Request went to all groups, some declined for their own different reasons. -

Fantastic team effort, a lot of groups now on board and a large working group each taking a piece of pie to work on to bring together . Proud of them all, and to see new faces emerge to re-energise the movement we all so desperately seek -

We are nearly there, some fantastic collaboration from the working group. Was a late one last night with many working away until 3 am to try and finalise the launch. We've had discussion with trusted media contacts who like the approach and its 100% positive feedback from them, and they will run with this. Around 70 media outlets will be contacted and we need everyone to play their part by sharing around social media, whatsapp etc. The common thing that binds us all together is our love for our club. "Enough is enough" -

Fully understand you're concerns Davy, without posting the press releases, I can assure you this is addressed in there also -

It's progressional, as you'd appreciate with other groups and individual supporters involved everything needs to go through discussion. -

I'd need to buy ski's for my feet so i can see them lol. I've been beavering away in background, I'm in a number of different whatsapp groups, and try and remain active on twitter. It's refreshing to see lots of new people wanting to get involved, but also the level of support behind the cause. Strangely despite the last town hall March amassing 1400 according to the police and more joining at the ground, there is definitely a greater number unified in "enough is enough". Having clever people that are good at redrafting press releases, is great, whilst positivity for we go again is certainly growing. As others on here will vouch, I've tried to be a sounding board for advice over the last 6 months, but it became evident that people wanted me to be more active in remobilising. The AG have been extremely active since last year working away. Some have opted to stay retired, some are sadly not with us anymore. Whilst some of us are galvanised by the need to push for a better future. -

You'd think so, I will list all endorsements once complete and everyone had opportunity to respond. The intention is to give a cross section of supporters details in the release for media duties, so if anyone interested; please drop me a message. Remember if its from the heart it matters -

You know me, already on with phase 4 before phase 1 launched. It be pointless issuing a statement and admiring it. We need purpose , not shallow words. Timing is everything, and plans are being drawn for all eventualities Our coin has 2 heads, so which ever way it lands we will be on heads 🙂 -

We are moving into the draft phase, having gained traction with media outlets . I've spoken to a number of trusted journos and shared an initial draft and they love it. We are waiting for a couple of supporter groups to come back. Quite a few have already endorsed , whilst general supporter reaction on my twitter page is 98% positive with this course of action Sadly a couple of groups declined, which don't help with unity, but we move forwards. -

To add some meat the bones, I've spoken to some other groups today who also endorse this course of action. We'd like to issue a statement politely requesting that Waggott, Suhail and Gestede do not attend any of our remaining home fixtures , to aid the support of the team. Their attendance is a distraction due to many supporters desire for the removal of all three and the club to be sold. At a time where it's mathematically possible to reach the play offs, the manager and players need our support and those mentioned need to play their part by staying away to create a positive environment rather than the toxic environment which may occur given the supporter unrest. Obviously this ain't the statement but it's the cusp of what will be said. This would need a response which the media would seek. Should they refuse, the protest and unrest is purely of their design -

Morning Everyone, I'm in a number of whattapp groups with some supporters and supporter groups. We've floated an idea yesterday to them including BRFCS, which the telegraph has promised to run with providing enough groups endorse. To date EWMC, BRAG have endorsed and BRFCS require all owners agreement. This request has also gone to Proud Rovers and WATR via different people within the whatsapp group, but we need other groups to come forwards too. The idea would be BRFCS are the lead, given they have the largest reach out. Myself or someone else will fill in the blanks once we have recieved replies back from the groups, though time is of the essence as I've been made aware of a load of PR due to drop from the club to try and distract from the growing issues supporters have. The intention is a statement will be issued targeting the board and owners, where a clear action/response will be needed in advance of the next home game, or phase two will then be made active. Sorry it's s bit vague this, but until the groups come back it's all I can say at thus point. -
A nice chap, played in community trust football game with him at end of last season. Really down to earth and really pleased for him that he can invest his hard earned money into something he loves. Yes it's not a watch, but ultimately if his sponsorship is more revenue than the Peter Jackson, from a business perspective it needs to be done. I'm sure it wasn't out the blue for Peter Jackson and they would of held talks about renewing at more favourable terms for the club, which they didn't want to meet. Finding out four days before the season starts that they are going to go with someone else which is more commercially viable was more than likely the end result of negotiations, rather than BTW we don't want you any more

Yes he has, BRFCS will be media -
I think what people were expecting to see was questions asked , followed by answer in a minuted format. Also as its been made clear by oldjamfan, its for members only, can we start seeing statements referring to asking questions for members rather than the supporter base? The Trust does not represent me, therefore I don't want gerneralism of supporters suggesting they do.

Venky’s v Indian Government (a)
glen9mullan replied to tomphil's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
My belief is Waggott is leaving this season, retiring with a extremely good pension (clubs contribution is mental). So model is clear , which he is driving. Spend as little as possible, (these 1 year deals ain't his problem when he rides off).keep supporter base quiet, as next seasons mess will see the chickens come home to roost. Suhail, similar on a kings ransom , zero pressure here or in india to do anything bar ensure lights stay on. This is representative of a coaching model, where the manager coaches what he is given with no clear targets for achievement. Remember since these two been running the show, they ain't sacked a manager, both have resigned!!! End of season a new smuck arrives and repeat repeat. The protests in the stands last season nearly saw Waggott depart, he openly stated to me maybe its time to go home. Whoever persuaded him to stay I don't know, as he was beaten. It won't take much to push both these out and at that point I think the for sale sign goes up. -
Its not that though Mike and as I said earlier it's not a personal attack on the people. I'm questioning why the entity continues to have meetings which no one sees minutes. This is just another meeting with the club that is not reported as many others. The fans forum were crucified last week, unfairly. Sadly if your head goes above the parapet you are gonna face questions (I have learnt to live with it)

In that case, make your statement clear you represent the circa 300-400 members only , Be clear what the trusts purpose is and your stance, so we can make an informed decision if we want to be members or not. Right now as I ve said numerous times , I.do not know what the Trust end game is. Also many members are BRFCS, so by definition you are answerable. What a very strange statement to make As a former secretary of the trust, to not understand this is worrying .
-
I'm sorry Mike, there is zero excuse to not inform it was/has happened. Reports, minutes, agreed facts is something completely different.. A Democratic voice is transparency I've asked many questions on this thread and every one of them have been completely ignored. At this time I.do not believe the trust represents my views , as I can't get s clear answer.whst the trust views are.

Duncan as we discussed Yesterday and you know my stance as my belief in you. This should of been communicated it was happening and its happened. Minutes can come later. The trust does not control the supporter base, however it has a duty to be transparent and like the club things not to come out via other channels. Will the trust be endorsing protests? Remember none of these post are personal, it's asking questions of an entity not the people or efforts they put in
-
All I know is I've told waggott and India that organised protest are coming and these will be communicated in advance, liaising with both the police and Council. Anything not communicated which could be illegal is not part of an organised element and I've distanced myself from anything which breaks the law
