I've already asked on a number of occasions Darrenrover to give the big reveal. He has chosen not to, but I will continue to ask. I'm never one to shy away, I'm in the blues bar every match day, so not difficult to find. I also use my own name to post on threads like this. I also dont need an army to come to my rescue when I cannot clearly speak for myself. Hope that clarifies the matter?

Just an observation, I await with baited breathe for the grand revealing, of why we should be positive

I think they are more likely to appoint Sheron, than bring anyone in worth their salt.

Most of us on here have jobs or have had jobs. Some of us, having given our notice at work, others may have been given their notice. However its so very hard to focus on your job if you are leaving. Our fall down the table is a IMO a consequence of players and manager out of contract. The players won't sign whats been offered . Whilst the manager has not even had that chat. TM Came in at a time I genuinely feared the club could you just disappear. Crowds were dwindling, product crap, poor appointment after poor appointment both in the boardroom and the dugout. It looked very bleak. We then got relegated to division 1, one of the darkest days in our clubs history, and as many who have come before us, there was little guarantee of an immediate return. Mowbray managed to keep most of the squad together, add a bit more quality, but importantly take the heat away from the discontent in the stands, and if anything by doing so it protected those in the boardroom, and the loons in pune. We got promoted first time of asking, and not one of us can deny how great that felt, that night in Doncaster as Mulgrew sent us wild. The welcome home the boys got, a packed out ewood against Oxford. Its fair to say COVID, stop start seasons, playing with no crowds impacted a couple of seasons. You only need to look at Liverpool with no crowds and liverpool with crowds. This season despite a much less budget, the boards inability to tie players down to contracts or indeed get them to sign one, it looked for a long period we would get at least the play offs. We can point to formations, poor team selection, injuries, suspensions, poor january recruitment , and a whole host of things of why we've fallen dramatically down the table. We can even point to the fact most had us finishing in the lower reaches of the table in August, and where we actually are, we are actually exceeding those expectations. Having a manager who no-one has had that conversation with will have 100% impacted results on the pitch, how can they expect him to focus? Could you focus?. The positive shoots rovers had, was the manager had taken the heat off those above, whilst the spin doctors at Ewood have convinced a select few that all is rosie in the garden and so much is happening. As I said earlier in the week, as fans our focus needs to be on these last two games, but beyond that unless we replace those in the boardroom and ultimately venkys, this will never be our club again. Yes they pay the bills, yes its been hundreds of millions, but if we have to start again I'd take as the damage is irreparable under their stewardship. We cannot keep saying, Badly advised, naive, honourable people. They are not novices. 12 years they've owned blackburn rovers. I do think if they fooooook this next appointment up, we will return to a very hostile ewood and get to the point of no return with them

But good things are coming, the blueprint plan has been shown to the select few. We have to show our appreciation to India, to the board, to the flag

Feathering his own nest, if he cannot be honest with his friend, then should hang his head in shame and clear his desk too

Fantastic performance, and if we can play like that Saturday and get a result regardless of the QPR game Friday we take this to the last game of the season. If I block out the previous 44 games, i'd have taken that in August. We can talk about the if's, buts, Could of, Should of but that result last night especially clawing back on the goal difference has certainly given the the last two games a pulse. I've posted a lot of frustration, annoyance, and if anything a lot of somewhat negative thoughts the last few weeks. However, i'm going to park all that for now, its all very valid, but now is not the time for the inquest. Waking up with a bounce in my step, excited for the weekend and dreaming the near impossible is a feeling I want to savour, even if its just for a few days or couple of weeks. Sam Gallagher was a warrior last night, he has taken his fair share of grief from me, but will he ever score a more important goal for us? Three academy lads on the scoresheet, Local rivals absolutely tonked in their own back yard. Rothwell, sublime, he maybe off, he may have gone off the boil, but last night he was majestic. Proud of them all after that

Thought this was interesting thread from before a ball was kicked

Yes its great down at Rovers, fans are all on board, here is some videos of supporters having a jolly good time in the corporates drinking the beer and wine, with our loyal staff. We have sent them to every corner of social media in disguise to end all the negativity and have told them to show their appreciation to the mother ship. We have a plan in place to replace those who have walked away, didnt need those, upsetting our young players. We have increased the selection of food which has gone down like a treat, sales off the scale. Those shirts with the old sponsor, we've given these as prizes to corporates. We've sold all the shirts we ordered, flew off the shelves. We have not given into pressure on these contract rebels, and will save more wages. We are going to sell Brereton at a massive profit like Armstrong, as we said buy a rough diamond, polish him and sell at big returns. We've Gallagher on new contract and should get £25 mill next season for him. We've saved on maintenance, the fans make the mess, so little point in fixing the ground as the safety board have issued no notices, so good to go for another year, will review next summer. We've cemented our position as a championship team, whilst cutting losses and bringing players through. We have signed the Indian Messi, he will be £50 mill in 3 seasons time. We have grabbed hedges, lots of interest in him, we got in early and beat off stiff competition. Hey hang on Steve, we read message boards like BRFCS, whats these unhappy comments?? "Dont read them, this is the racist section of the supporter base, we've always told you that the motivation is due to race and religion, most do not come to the games and the ones that do are not real supporters. Its a very small minority, who throw piro on the pitch and will do anything to breath negativity, we dont talk to or want them fans".

God knows, but the global marketing alone probably made it worth it no press is bad press?

I got a txt yesterday regarding renewal

Yeh i get the usual replies on twitter, some unhappy, and then some completely happy, who tend to resort to name calling, to hammer home the "you are negative, you are ungrateful, you are a muppet theme." Facebook, i dont do too much. I like the debate on here, as it does not usually resort to name calling and every single point/opinion is valid, and no greater or weaker than anyone elses. Keyboard warriors eh? I'm always open to a face to face debate on all things rovers, its funny though, they dont come from behind their keyboards for this, and prefer to hide behind Alias's. I remember when I was a Director at WEC and chatting with WW who couldnt get his head around being abused by internet names like 1875bluethunder, blueraindrops, horrisdorrishovis etc etc. Faceless abuse, by spineless people.

That age bracket was an example rather than a sweeping statement. I too hear less disgruntled on the ownership, especially with us reliant on their funding. The largest statement is the numbers that have walked away

The ultimate sacrifice, and one I admire you for

I think thats more to do with the amount that have walked away. I'm not sure age bracket %s of supporters now, but we do have a lot 15-20 year olds for example. The majority of these are not old enough to remember much pre-Venkys, so they dont have the same anger. I see very few of those that protested for example on match days, the majority of these have walked away as their final protest.

There is just far too much now from owners down happy to accept mediocrity, just taking part, rather any burning ambition beyond existence

I look at season ticket sales like the song "10 green bottles" When 10 were on the wall and one fell the majority still renewed When 4 were on the wall and one fell the majority still renewed. The reality is non renewals season upon season increases and new applicants do not fill the the ones lost. Does anyone have perhaps a fans forum member? The number of season tickets we've sold per season since the Walkertrust sold Rovers. This "the small minority always shouts louder, is not a small minority when the decline in season ticket sales has been gradual over a sustained period of time. It just means those who have walked away have lost total interest and are silent in their disapproval"

Speculating

If Forest snatch promotion it would not surprise me if Brereton returns for £18 million

Thats the issue, there is a fine line between being in charge and compromising yourself. Too friendly with the boss breathes contempt. Waggott and Mowbray are no different to Agnew and Kean. Watching each others back whilst the owners are miles away. Then you have Suhail who is actually quite liked around the club by lots of staff, been there a long time now. However, i think he has forgotten his purpose, again miles from home. However Call it a hunch, i think 4 weeks from now it maybe a different looking ewood both dugout and boardroom

8% not renewing is quite a lot although figures will vary, but a lot happy to renew which is more than i expected

Nearly 800 votes on twitter poll, big swing towards renewals before 4th June. After the initial shock, some calmed down and will renew?

Back on topic 125 votes so far

Cant remember what i paid last season, i think the £399 offsets the young adult season tickets, although a big gulf between the two prices. Although id be up for £300, but trying to be realistic in terms of revenues which do need to be generated

£399 across board all areas of ground for renewals and new applicants. Obviously ratchet for senior, young adults, kids etc. Suddenly people who could afford 1 in some areas can perhaps stretch to 2. Bums on seats increase atmosphere. Alternatively people love a good deal. My wife forever buying 3 for 2s of stuff we didnt need 1 off. 3 for price of 2 brings new fans to ewood potentially, Family tickets. We have an all seater stadium half empty, bums on seats generates sponsorship, more shirt sales, more food sales, more merchandise sales, an electric atmosphere. This offer dont inspire
