Just seen this story break on Sky Sports News Great work to all involved 👏 This really puts the club on the back foot and shows unity amongst the supporters. Superb!

Sacre Bleu! Pears Sanderson Hyam Carter Brittain Travis Tronstad Riberio Dolan Gueye Ohashi 1-0 defeat. The above formation is garbage. Decent wingbacks but the 2 midfielders aren’t expansive enough to do the job and the lack of a number 10 to link the midfield & attack is a huge issue. The defence aren’t used to playing a back 3 which is why Hyam made the mistake on Wednesday - too many spaces in between on a huge pitch and Stoke took advantage.

You’re right, there will be little to no reaction. There was vs Plymouth but back to normal against Norwich with not a whimper about Venkys. But what exactly is it you’re looking to do by slagging off our fanbase, that you are a part of? Aside from that, I’m rapidly losing interest in Rovers. It’s Groundhog Day again, this time under the worst coach we’ve had for a while - his quick changes and awful formation change have left the players confused. They simply aren’t good enough to play his expansive pressing style of football. Distinct parralels with Amorim at Utd with his rigid 3-4-3 without the players to play it. Exactly the same with us. 4-2-3-1 has worked all season, why change it? Madness.

He’s an elected Member of Parliament of the United Kingdom 😆 Well done mate, proud of you too 😘

Welcome Ismael! King of The North (West) Slaying all before him with Valerian Steel! COYB 🌹

What have you done? Other than post aggressive and unhelpful statements like that on here? Just out of interest. Why doesn’t Tim Farron set up a petition like this? Could someone email or contact him on social media?

I’m no tactical genius but feels like the handbrake is off and our attacking players have been given license to express themselves. Also both full-backs were high in the 2nd half creating overloads either side, Plymouth were so poor we were playing with 2 defenders when we had the ball. Credit to the lads for going for it though, even at 1-0. Also credit to Eustace the snake for laying some pretty solid foundations but it should be a much more exciting end to the season now he’s gone. COYB 🌹 Venkys, Suhail and Waggott OUT!

I’m printing out a few copies of this. Anyone that wants one, meet me at corner of Blackburn End & Jack Walker close to Turnstile G at 2.40-2.45 ish. Got 25 A4 to hand out and 5 A3 for me and my mates in the Blackburn End

Great work mate. Keep going, it’s got to start somewhere!

Nice one @scotchrover I’m up for joining any protest & agree Venky’s man at Ewood is the one to focus attention on 🎯 Back the team not the regime! Keep us posted & thank you for taking action

If not now then when? Enough is enough when it comes to the running of this club No cosying up to Waggott in meetings with the players. The time for dialogue is over. They’ve shown their true colours. It’s time to show ours 🔵⚪️

All ideas on the table. Whatever happens needs to come with an educational piece for the fans with their head still in the sand and the wider media. Hopefully there will be a greater consensus now after what has happened, the ill judged club statement and the support from WATR. It’s a start.

Odd thing to say for a Rovers fan to downplay the effects of any protest on a protest thread. Are you on the Venkys payroll? I admire your realism and you’re probably right but there is no greater time for action than now. What will it do? Probably nothing on its own, but if there is a steady and consistent effort from the fan base we have left, and all of us are united, we can grind them down.

Unlike Waggott’s knee jerk reaction…still digesting the news & thinking of next steps. We will see what happens over the next few days with regard to a future protest. Initial plan in my head though is that some form of protest is essential at the next home game v Plymouth, targetted squarely at the door of SW, Suhail and the Rovers board. Meeting on the Darwen End side where the players & executives walk into the ground around 1.30pm then walking to the Jack Walker Statue with banners and the like. A peaceful protest outside the ground but get behind the lads in the ground during the game. Regardless of any manager changes over the coming days. Nothing has changed since the original post of this thread on January 23rd 2024. Nothing changes at BRFC until the cancer of Venky’s is removed 🐔 🥀

I think the opposite. This knee jerk statement is the mark of an old has-been who has got it wrong this time. Anyone with a brain sees straight through it. The “Significant Investment” line especially. I didn’t think the club could stoop any lower. Mind you their stewards were stealing Cunha’s shirt off a group of children yesterday

Great work! Hopefully Santa sees them and gives all Rovers fans the best Christmas ever by getting rid of Venkys

That’s probably his other shirt to be fair. The one he gave away was at half-time as he ran down the tunnel. My nephew had the best hand on it that’s why I went to ask to clarify why the steward took it away. Wish I’d taken a picture of her now.

It makes me sick. No friendliness or any human decency about them whatsoever when questioned. Family club my arse.

Kudos to Cunha giving his shirt to Rovers fans today at half-time. Less kudos to the jobsworth steward who took it off the children who caught it citing “safety reasons” and “I’ve taken it down the tunnel and it will be auctioned for charity” when I asked her why. Absolute disgrace

Also just to point out we still had Adam Wharton and Szmodics when I had that banner made. The club has been dying a slow death for years. Temporary form and occasional “success” of a cup run or being up there at Christmas will always paper over the cracks but the slow decline of the playing staff is clear to see. As well as the lack of progress and any kind of ambition to even get in the play-offs.

Don’t bother with protesting. There is zero appetite for it however Waggott would literally shit his moderately expensive pants if one ever did get off the ground! I’ve still got a 6 metre banner of the below if one does ever happen! What happened to Glen Mullan btw? Feel free to use and abuse the image below

He’s 19, sorry duff previous info! Needs must unfortunately. Not convinced he’ll be trusted but it’s a good opportunity to shine if he does get a game.
