  1. Attendances do ebb and flow with the sucess on the pitch but there's been a toxicity about the place for the last 15 years that's caused a large number to leave and not return. Shit performances are not the reason why so many have walked away to not return. Shit performances are not the reason why the attendance has dropped from 25000+ to scratching 15000 on the best of days. We just sold off the spine of a team that finished 7th to replace them with cheap nobodies. Anyone who didn't think this had a high chance of ending up in a total disaster is quite simply thick as pig shit. The fact those in power chose to do this, rather than strengthen and bolster the squad to have a solid crack at promotion is the reason why so many have turned their back on the club. This is just one more thing in an endless list of similar things that have happened over the last 15 years. Remember only a few months ago when our manager left whilst we were in 6th place to join a club in the relegation zone? You don't get people pledging 'Not A Penny More' because of some bad results. You get that when the heart and soul has been ripped out of the club and those responsible arrogantly deflect all responsibility for this onto others.
  2. Unless he name checks Suhail in a post match rant of course.
  3. Ah, so you completely miss the point as per usual. People haven't stopped going because of shit football. It's all the other bullshit that's been going on for 15 years.
  4. In what sense? It's a real shame that something that was such a big part of people's lives has been destroyed by a bunch of corrupt children. What's worse is that this was allowed to happen by the so-called governing bodies.
  5. I think you're right there, the gutless fucking coward.
  6. I haven't been to watch Rovers since December or January 2010/11 and can honestly say I don't feel like I have missed anything. The club's existence is completely and utterly pointless. Nobody was duped into buying a season ticket unless they are completely fucking brain dead. If people want to go because it's part of their social life or through habit or they just enjoy the experience then fair enough, not knocking anyone for that. But for someone to try and claim that they had no idea how the season was going to pan out or they for some reason thought that the club was actually going to have a single shred of ambition or dignity is completely and utterly farcical. You'd literally have to live in a complete vacuum whereby the only interaction you had with any aspect of the club or football in general would be the 2 hours you spend at Ewood every other week. So no, I don't feel any sympathy for season ticket holders, you knew exactly what you were buying into. If you didn't, that's on you.
  7. I've banged on about the need for majority fan ownership of clubs before but for some reason not many seem to like the idea. I suppose they're happy with the alternative, which is the likes of venkys, that chansiri fella and this fucking prick owning our national culture and heritage outright. Guess I'm just not a real fan, or something.
  8. I doubt this side would make it out of League One.
  9. That's fair enough if people want to do that but at least try and do a decent job whilst you're here.
  10. Says everything you need to know about the people who run the club.
  11. That club gas been dead and buried for 15 years.
  12. Exactly the same as what they did when they deliberately relegated the club from the Premier League to the Championship.
  13. And I would still swap ownership with them any day of the week.
  14. The Teardrop Explodes - Books
  15. Too much too young there Salgado Stevie Wonder - Isn't She Lovely
  16. Missed that golden age unfortunately. Still, I'm glad City won. Spurs can fuck off.
  17. I reckon we could easily get a sweep going on it. 'Working on the 150th celebrations' is a good shout. Put me down for a tenner.
  18. The Who - Young Man Blues Oh man! Cliff Richard - The Young Ones
  19. Smooth jazz? I would have demanded they changed it to hard bop.
