Is there a reason why the travel thread has been closed without comment? .
Flopsy.

£479 for a 1 nighter with the club presumably with Free Champagne, lapdancers and an exec box thrown in.
£479 for 1 NIGHT.. They must be having a laugh. Or they really dont want fans on their Executive option.

Its obviously prompted our former resident site mentalist Vinjay to send the following in a few times.
A PLEA TO THE FANS OF BLACKBURN ROVERS FOOTBALL CLUB
http://archive.thisislancashire.co.uk/1996/10/23/842413.html
Peter White thought that period was a time of crisis. Goodness knows what he
would make of the current situation this club is in. I said that the same
old pattern is repeating itself. Star player sold and a downturn in fortunes
follows. 3 games have been played and the club are bottom of the table and
struggling for goals. It's like 10 years ago only 10 times worse because we
no longer have an owner prepared to back the club. White noted that patience
had run out amongst Blackburn supporters. That was the case then but like I
feared Rovers fans have gone soft. White gave a honest opinion and wouldn't
have been censored for it because Jack Walker appreciated honesty. The word
dosen't exist in Williams vocabulary.
Hughes should be a politician. He continues to put a positive spin on
everything when there are no positives.
"It's important for the strikers to get up and running."
"League position dosen't mean anything at this stage."
Surely though it contradicts the earlier statement about the strikers
getting off to a good start?
"We're on the right track."
After a point against Everton. A win is what sets things on the right track.
"I thought Andre accquitted himself well."
He did aprt from costing Rovers the game. Not saying he's a bad signing but
he did not play well on Sunday and spin doctor Hughes won't change that
view.
Williams has very cleverly created a comfort zone for himself. He associates
with media contacts who won't criticise him like Andy Neild and Gerald
"04-05 was a good season in the end!" Jackson. Nield stated in the telegraph
"So Rovers are head into the international break at the foot of the league
table." He says it like it's completely meaningless. Or perhaps like a man
who's scared to say what he really thinks?
One of the BRFCS members Revidge Blue used to write a column for the
telegraph. However after criticising the club he was subsequently removed.
Perhaps Williams didn't like having his comfort zone threatened? The
following quotes are from BRFCS members themselves.
http://www.brfcs.co.uk/mb/index.php?showtopic=4985&st=20 (Following quotes
on page 2)
Quote from "thenodrog"
"From what I remember of last seasons column Rev's only crime was to
criticise the club publically just as last years 'hearts and minds' campaign
to attract more fans was initiated. Not the best timing and from what I can
gather a pressured John Williams went absolutely apeshit with the editor.
You dont need to be Einstein to work out how much the LET needs to foster
good relations with the Rovers (its about the only reason that I have it
delivered), so it seems Rev was the sacrificial lamb."
Quote by "Anti Euro Smiths Fan"
"Could this possibly indicate a different side to Mr Williams' character to
the one which has hitherto been praised to the rafters by other board
members?
"Is it possible that our smooth talking moustachioed Chief Executive has a
"friendly face" in public - (The good-natured garrulous fellow that Den
encountered when he was invited into his office for tea and biscuits and a
cosy chat for an hour and a half) - But this amiable side to his character
can be offset by irascible short-tempered outbursts, as Thenodrog has
alluded to."
It seems to me that the criticisms Revidge had were perfectly legitimate
viewpoints that he held about the club.
"For Mr Williams to allegedly "Go apes*it with the LET editor" indicates an
unhealthy sensitivity to CRITICISM ON HIS PART."
EXACTLY!
At Bramall lane on Saturday week it's time to make a stand. It's time for
Williams to see his comfort zone collapse around him. It's time to put an
end to his regime by calling for him to resign as chairman of the board. A
position he assigned to himself for no clear reason. Other than his
overlarge ego perhaps?
It's time for Rovers fans to make a stand just like Villa fans did. Look at
the positive effect around their club now. It is time to take this club out
of the comfort zone mentality installed by Williams before it's too late.
Please

I am told that John Williams does read such threads, but doesn't believe the views of this messageboard to be indicative of the views of Rovers fans in general.
This messageboard represents a good cross section of fans.
From pillars of society, such as myself, to some right rubbin' rags
No, but theres 18000 fans attend Ewood,only 101 have voted on this topic so far. Its a fair point, but doesnt mean that the results should be ignored.

However, the poll on here does have a fairly sizeable amount in favour of replacing the drummer, and IMHO the club should take the results of this poll seriously and canvass opinions of other fans (perhaps through Brisa,the Fans Forum) as to what to do about the matchday experience in general.
Theres certainly more to the situation than just getting shut of the drummer, but its a perfectly valid first step to experiment in dropping him for a few games.

There is only one context you can use the words zane lowe . In fact you can't use those words at all now
-
Zane Lowe=prick.
Now thats something I should add to the swear filter.
-
It wouldnt be rocket science to assume that those on an official trip would get priority tbqh. Hope theres a few left afterwards, as i'd rather put pins in my eyes than travel with the flask and travel rug brigade.
-
Mmm.. lets go all the way to Austria to find an Irish bar.
Catch you in there
-
Yes, we do go into a group, but its drawn again based on the seedings of the teams that qualify.

Anyone got flight times and prices for Sky Europe from Manchester to Salzburg ?
Their website has crashed !

******stop press*****
Rovers have agreed to change the tie dates, they are now playing the first leg on Wednesday for Ch4 coverage and are now playing hte second leg at Ewwod on the thursday with 7pm kick off
BULLSHIT
UEFA cup games cannot be played at same time as Champions League games.

I'll prob stick with the PS2 until GTA4 comes out.
Will save me paying a fortune for something with little software catalogue just for the privelidge of owning one early.
Or.. i may buy a PS3 and do what I did with my XBox360, sell it on Ebay on release day for a large profit.
-
how will they stop persistant smoking?
Get Gerald Jackson to do an announcement about an hour into the game as per last night.
-
That is shocking news for the PS3. I know it's hardly going to dent the amount of people who buy it but that's a bit of a kick in the teeth for Sony.
Very suprised at EA though. They usually don't care about exclusivity as they are all about sales and they know Fifa sells. I wonder if they have been having development problems (like with Smackdown Vs Raw) and decided it was better to sign with MS rather than slip a date-able game into 2007.
I'm not sure its that much of a surprise tbqh, more taking some easy money before releasing PES7 for them when both consoles actually have some potential sales.
-
Nice to see he continued where he left off.
IS THIS EVER GOING TO BE SORTED OUT?
I would doubt it, the drummers wont go voluntarily while they are still getting freebies. Not sure Rovers actually believe that they are that unpopular either, and that its just a few people complaining on an internet messageboard.
Noticed last night he was banging away behind Tim Howard when taking a goal kick, he is just embarrassing.
-
Fife totally agree with you. You need to calm down my friend very angry old chap
Lets make that your last words on this topic.
-
Nathan Blake signed for Newport today after having a year out.
-
Apparently its pronounced Oooh Yah.. Sadly, I can see some "Who are ya" type chants
-
1-0 Rovers.
-
Excellent.. now theres an answer for MickeFin saving him asking me the same question every other day via MSN.
-
I wonder whether the club have thought about showing away games live at the ground. Newcastle show (none Sky)games in their bars - the clubs have the right to do this so why not make some money out of it.
They have done, but as to do it legally they would have to do it on beamback rather than "dodgy sky", the costs are into 5 figures.. meaning we would probably need a good couple of thousand to make it viable.
-
The only person I have EVER heard say that...
..So what do you believe they do well as part of their mix?
Must be something as Spurs/Villa pay Rovers to help with their own marketing for season ticket packs/club shops.

I'm sure there was something similar going on in the English bar in Lyon as well...
You just dont get that kind of atmosphere at normal away games.
