I haven't bought or even entertained buying a season ticket sinice the Venky's takeover. It's not about making the games because I can attend all of them as I am my own boss nor is it a question of the money as since I have stopped buying one I simply find the seat I would have purchased and times the cost of that seat by 10 and give the money to charity. For me its about principle of the thing, in giving money to the Venky's and the incompetent chancers of the Rovers board.
However I do feel a lot of empathy to those fans you cannot purchase one due to the quite frankly insane cost of a season ticket given the clubs catchment area. On top of that you have the utter stupidity of some the kick of times, then its a perfect mix to stop some fans attending. I can truly sympathetic to those fans who would attend but given the reasons I have stated cannot.
What i find utterly amusing if I am honest is the notion of someone like myself who is boycotting., is somehow that makes me less of a fan then those who attend. I have supported Rovers for over 40 years I have had a season tickets since the age of 18 travelling from the North East spending hundreds if not thousands to make sure I could attend not mention the European adventures and friendly games on top of the away games I attended to.
I love my club but I love my principles and morals more so until the Venky's depart I will not buy another season ticket. But respect to those that do. I just wish some of those people would have a bit of understanding and compassion to those that would like to attend but cannot for either financial reasons or commitments in their personal lives which is made worse given the stupidity of some of the kick off times.
I mean for myself it was a easy decision to boycott given my principles and the fact that I have many more social activities then just this, which I am really grateful for but that doesn't mean I dont love or support my club. I just want what's best for it and for all Rovers fans.
I cannot wait for the day the Venky's leave my club and I can return to the hallowed Ewood Park.
