If you think there’s a conspiracy going on, or if you think there is a conspiracy theory amongst the FF, just state what you think it is. I think a club official lost his rag and said a couple of things he shouldn’t and now he doesn’t want it to be made official in the public domain. That’s the only thing I can see you could be referring to, and generally all the FF members appear to be adamant that happened / was said.

True. Glenn said “To add, the flaw in the ff system is the original minutes go to the club for approval prior to being circulated to the FF attendees, with the intention they are on website within 48 hours of club approval.” Which implies the rest of the FF didn’t see them until the club had. It would be better framing the minutes amongst the FF before sending to the club, as I suspect people won’t want to speak up and change after the minutes have been sent.

The minutes didn’t reflect what was said. The minutes were amended. All the FF agreed these were accurate. The club refuse approve them. What is the conspiracy you are saying is being alleged? Do you believe every member of the FF is colluding and lying about what was said to make the club look bad? I’m not sure I understand what you think is happening here.

Off Topic a bit, but has "The Gooner' come off twitter?

https://www.rovers.co.uk/tickets/the-season-ticket-zone/help-and-how-to-guides/ It remains to get seen whether "screenshots" of the digital season ticket will work. It says not on here.

But you can’t give your phone to your mate as easily when your on holiday. For now, you can transfer your ticket to friends/family in your ‘group’. But that can be switched off / made chargeable at any time.

Answer - you can use the card this year but potentially from 26/27 it will be digital only.

Is it compulsory, or can I just use last years card?

I agree in that you can see Miller is a direct replacement for Brittain and we just don’t know how good he will prove to be. If all deals were like this I’d be quite happy. Whereas McLaughlin has been playing at this level long enough for me to suspect he will be a downgrade on Batth. Dolan has yet hasn’t been replaced, and generally we don’t appear to have strengthened in any area.

I'd taken you line of "I also don’t think you get people to engage with you by taking that approach, but I’m not or never will be involved in any of this because of the sheer time it must take up." to mean get people (at the club) to engage. However you mean people of different opinions across the fan group. In which case I agree with you to some degree.

He would, but he would have inexplicably chipped it. 🤬🤬

Another Aussie, Viduka, would be up there with one of the best arrivals to English football from the SPL.

Was OK. Probably a decent championship left back but ultimately one of Brain Kidd's rubber dinghy men in the relegation season. I suppose he was on a bit of a hiding to nothing being brought in to replace Le Saux.

We signed him on a 3 year deal. At least Rudy got this one tied down. 🦾 That possibly limits us just giving him away or terminating his contract.

No he didn't. He said it was down to past mistakes, but both Pasha and Gestede were in situ when the contracts should have been looked at last summer. They were also in Situ when Eustace was saying "I think the players would like to know (on their futures)."

I’m always of the opinion that you have to be fairly poor player-wise and lack tactical nouse to go down. It always surprises me how limited sides are, who are sat comfortably mid-table can appear sometimes. Therefore until I’ve seen how our lot gel I’m going into it with an open mind. The most likely result I feel is a defeat, but it wouldn’t be surprising if we were saying West Brom looked fairly poor after the game and we come away with a decent result. The obvious issue is right back. Montgomery looks a big risk and Alebiosu is a complete unknown.

Wait till you see the defending for NEC’s third goal.

Not sure they would. They couldn’t down at their place. We did the Ewood game 2-1 after they had gone down to 10 men in the first half.

Beck nearly got Cambridge into the first ever Premier League, although if you’re going to be a long ball side, do it with Steve Claridge and Dion Dublin up front. Leicester beat Beck’s Cambridge in the ‘other’ play off semi final in 1992. Otherwise that could have been an even more uncomfortable afternoon at Wembley under an arial barrage.

They won’t engage properly. They don’t want to. Fans opinions are a hinderance to their aim of cutting costs and cutting ambition. Mike Graham spent years telling us we needed to keep engaging, and look at his speech as the outgoing chairman at the last Rovers trust meeting.

GET BEHIND THE LADS FFS ( And the boardroom. And Sky. Don’t forget Sky. )

On what planet is Danny Batth injury prone? He was out for 6 games last season. 3 the season before. Going back through his career he hardly misses any games every season.

I think Stanley are in for a tough season.Be surprised if they aren’t in the bottom 4 or 5.

From LT:- Aynsley Pears and John Buckley’s time at Blackburn Rovers could be coming to an end after the pair were left out of the squad to face NEC Nijmegen. Pears has not featured in pre-season yet due to a hip injury but did play 90 minutes for the Under-21s in midweek. He kept a clean sheet as they beat Barnsley in a behind-closed-doors match. “It was a decision that we made,” Ismael told The Lancashire Telegraph on their absence. “I don’t know what the situation is for them and the future. We took a decision for the squad today and that’s who we picked, that’s it.” It’s understood that both Pears and Buckley asked to play in the midweek match for gametime but that has done little to change the pecking order. Rovers will surely entertain any offers forthcoming with neither play likely to be content with sitting out.

Buckley will get a club, prob league one, but no one will buy him for any noticeable modest fee. A good move for him now would be somewhere like Wigan.
