    See his latest tweet, talking about deferred pension. That isn’t disclosed in the accounts. Clearly backing Waggott up. Another tweet where he said Waggott would do a good job if his hands were untied. 
     

    He’s not said a single word about Waggott being the problem. 

    Also not a single word why he had a private meeting on Thursday night with Waggott. Why are the other fan groups not told about this??

    If I'm aware of something I will always say,

    Defamation act 2013 you'd do well to learn it .

    How many Rovers fans turned up last night? On TV the home ends had tumbleweed blowing through them and I reckon there was less than 7000 blues there. 

    The official attendance was over 15000 with 3200 odd Boro fans visiting.were most rovers fans watching TV on the concourse or what? 

    There were nowhere near 15k on last night. Far from it. 

    Sign of the times and folks are voting with their feet. Good on them. 

    I'd say not more than 5000

    Getting the owners rattled? Now that's a job well done 👏 

    If wr are predictable we become weak,

    We chucked them a bone they ate it, choked on it and we ain't left our living rooms yet on our action.

    We went to the game tonight as per our statement to watch the match .

    The club sent the cavalry in at great expense, but we moved camp last week. 

    Strategy everything

    I wonder if there may be something more sinister afoot there as any complaints about it can be taken a certain way and could be used to turn around on fans. It’s critical there are no missteps as a fan base now and hope there are no fake leaks out there to try and trip people up, such as the ham ban!
     

    Sufi seemed a breath of fresh air at one point but wonder if he started believing his own hype. 

    He's gone through the ranks rapid, and now managing things which he has zero experience in.

    He's passionate about the Ewood Express, and it's been fantastically done and he should be applauded.

    However he's sounding like a one trick pony . He can't take his emotion out of his efforts on the Ewood Express. He fails to recognise or acknowledge that no one has questioned the Ewood Express.

    People are questioning lapsed supporters and the break in the chain which sees the baton pased through generations.

    However I'm mindful we should not get distracted ourselves by him despite rumours of his power rising.

    Take out the handler, as the foot soldiers are very much irrelevant in the wider picture.

    You have achieved lots in a short time. Very impressive.

    Dont know how you feel about what I’m about to suggest, but…take over the Trust at the upcoming AGM ? 
     

    As things stand, they are irrelevant & obsolete - they want fresh blood…so…

    I'm open minded on anything that aids getting everyone on a page that we can all buy in to.

    All groups have bad days and weeks, but we shouldn't use that to define them or distract from the lots of good work done.

    The worse decision is not to make one, and I'm fully confident the trust will recover from the couple of weeks frustration and be stronger for it.

  6. Good Morning All,

    Certainly been an exhausting couple of weeks on the back of 15 exhausting years.

    What we do next is very much shaped by you, the club's supporter base.

    1. What's the desired end game.

    2. What's the compromise position.

    3. What's your general thoughts on our approach to date.

    4. What's your thoughts on the Exec interviews yesterday.

    5. Do you want to get more involved.

    Keeping traction can become difficult if we take foot off gas but at the same time being measured and precise prevents own goals.

    It's certainly not easy in a large working group, lots of opinions and conversations sometimes wander off which loses focus and days pass by.

    How can you help?

    Share the messages, share the tweets. 

    We need to be better at communicating than the club , always one step ahead and always firmly risk accessed to create the desired outcome.

    My inbox always open, always willing to meet up for a chat too or take a phone call.

    It's really you, that will shape our direction

    To be fair I think there are some terrific presenters and co presenters on TalkSport along with some terrible ones.

    Great ones Jeff Stelling, Danny Baker and his crew on Trans Euro express, Neil Custis and Henry Winter, Hawksbee and Jacobs, Perry Groves, Dean Saunders Adam Catterall who's from Blackburn and a big Rovers fan, I actually like Simon Jordan most of the time, and there's a DJ called Majestic who's on with Alan Pardew Sunday evening.

    Ally McCoist Adrian Durham and Charlie Baker are decent enough.

    Terrible ones Alan Brazil, Shebaghn O Hern, Max Rushden, Andy Goldstein and Darren Bent, Jason Cundy and Jamie O Hara with Jim White firmly bottom of the pile. How he-s carved out a career in the media, God only knows.

    If Glen or anyone from the group are reading this the lesson from today is "Pick your Presenter'.

    I would try and get a slot on any show hosted by Adam Catterall who's a huge Rovers fan. I think he might be on 10p.m . to 1a m. Friday night/Saturday morning.

    I wouldn't even chalk today up as a defeat. It was more of a damp squib. Anyone neutral with a passing interest in the story would have been left wondering why White and Jordan were so hostile towards such a reasonable sounding guest on their show.

    Keep calm and carry on!

    Yeh, OG really talking to them.

    Especially about Friday as it's old news, some clearly called in a favour.

    Very different in a group of groups and individuals, slightly less control on media appearances. It's important we have many voices. People sick of my mug, but we need to coach better and be selective.

    We was always on a hiding for nothing from SJ. And Rob did really well to keep his cool.

    Think we are 3-1 up , but providing we score more than them we will progress.

    I'd hoped WATR would of reached out to join forces as have the other groups like Pride Rovers etc.

    I don't buy this concept that BRFC Action Group or any other group is a protest group. It's rather disrespectful to aim as such from some. Below a brief on some AG works.

    We are currently developing our new website, our old one has sadly ceased for reasons out of our control.

     

    Below is a brief history.

     

    The BRFC Action Group is a supporters' organisation dedicated to advocating for Blackburn Rovers Football Club. in response to concerns over the club's management and ownership, the group has played a significant role in voicing fans' opinions and striving for positive change.

     

    Formation and Early Activities

     

    The group's formed in 2012 with a members democratically elected committee during a period of discontent among fans regarding the club's performance and leadership. Initially, their efforts focused on addressing managerial issues, notably campaigning for the removal of then-manager Steve Kean, whose tenure was marked by poor results. This campaign included organising protests and engaging with media outlets to express their dissatisfaction.

     

    Over time, the BRFC Action Group expanded its focus beyond managerial concerns to address broader issues related to the club's ownership and strategic direction. Their advocacy efforts aimed to ensure that future generations could enjoy Blackburn Rovers as fans had in the past, emphasising the club's rich history and community significance.

     

    Collaboration with Other Supporters' Organisations

     

    In their pursuit of meaningful change, the BRFC Action Group collaborated with other supporters' organisations, notably the Rovers Trust. This collaboration led to the launch of the "We Are Rovers" campaign, which was formed after both groups balloted their members on a course of action. The campaign sought to address concerns over the club's ownership and to promote a more fan-centric approach to the club's future.

     

    Engagement with Authorities

     

    The group's activities gained significant attention, leading to engagements with both governmental bodies and footballing authorities. They were granted meetings with the Government, The Premier League , EFL and FA to air their grievances and discuss potential solutions. Supported by former MPs Jack Straw, Jake Berry and Graham Jones. These discussions underscored the group's commitment to advocating for the club and highlighted the broader concerns of the fanbase.

     

    Impact on Club Ownership

     

    The persistent efforts of the BRFC Action Group, alongside other supporters' organisations, contributed to increased scrutiny of the club's ownership. Their campaigns and advocacy played a role in bringing about changes in the club's management structure, aiming to align the club's operations with the interests and values of its supporters.

     

    Other works

     

    The BRFC has played an integral part as a charity raising thousands of pounds for local initiatives, whilst also organising the legends match which brought back many members of the 1995 Blackburn Rovers champions team, amongst others notably Tugay to play at Ewood Park, against supporters to raise money for the Former players association to aid their development as an entity.

     

    The group is members of the FSF and ESF and in 2014 opened the first supporter walk in centre in Europe based at Ewood Park, funded by the group. This became a hub for both footballing and non footballling matters, notably domestic violence, hardship, homelessness and food banks. The group utilised their local connections with businesses and local authorities to fast track and support local residents in need

     

    Continued Advocacy

     

    As of March 2025, the BRFC Action Group continues to be an active voice for Blackburn Rovers fans, proudly standing as the largest independent supporter group with a near 8000 members globally. Their ongoing efforts focus on ensuring that the club remains accountable to its supporters and that its rich legacy is preserved for future generations. Through continued engagement and advocacy, the group strives to influence positive developments within the club and maintain a strong connection between the team and its community.

     

    The history of the BRFC Action Group is a testament to the power of organised supporters in effecting change within football clubs. Their journey reflects a deep commitment to preserving the heritage and integrity of Blackburn Rovers, ensuring that the club remains a source of pride and joy for its fans.

     

    The group is supported by its honory patrons Sir Bill Taylor. Maureen Bateson. MBE and Wayne Hemingway for their previous works as a democratic supporter group which is free and inclusive.

    You did say that they club would come out swinging with a full on charm offensive. 

    Absolutely bizarre situation we find ourselves in as Rovers fans, at war with the club's hierarchy. 

    Imagine just being able to support a football team, without all this shit.

    On time too 🙂 😀 always weigh up the opponent, the consequences of said actions and have your Map far more advanced of theirs.

    Their predictability is their weakness, it was last time supporters took a stand 

    It will end the same way , All 3 gone , whilst we remain.
