'Attend if you want to, we aren't arsed £££' is the motto on the Swaghail crest.

Chorley has been lost to Bolton Wanderers and PNE now sadly due to lack of effort on the clubs behalf over the last decade. Plenty Rovers fans still in the area and lapsed fans but youngsters are leaning towards the other two now because they've been in schools over the last decade and guess what, they both reduced season ticket early birds at least 100 quid cheaper for adults than Rovers. Followed up by leaflet drops and adverts in local papers and it worked. When Rovers did good ST offers pre Venkys there were adverts on the sides of buses and taxis across the Preston and Chorley areas but under Waggots 'leadership' these areas are now ignored. He should have been all over it after promotion from league 1 and 25k home fans in v Oxford, that was the time to strike but no, nothing.

157,000 people now in the borough of BBwD and a football club that used to average c22k home fans until this ownership began it's reign of nonsense. Always one of the best supported clubs in England from its locality but now can only manage 4k full adult over 23 season tickets. Yes they are a commercial disaster, the people are there the fans are still there as certain crowds at Ewood show but they don't matter anymore. The club has given up on it's own fans in favour of kiddies and fleecing its remaining hardcore, what other commercial managers in the country would ignore what it has on its own doorstep just so it can guarantee one level of income from c10k people every year ? Absolutely shocking but they just throw their hands in the air 'we've done all we can'.

He was saying the same to Preston fans when it was Lowe out Lowe in every other week. Very much speaks from inside footballs old boys network and you know when he's going out on a limb there's an agency connection somewhere. Literally EVERY Rovers fan should block the fat gimp, when was the last time he paid to watch a live game ? 1979 probably.

The platforms they've had to build on in recent years with just a bit of regular investment and ambitious stewardship are what we've waited for ever since relegation in 2012. Mowbray after 4 years finally gets his act together and delivers a play off push but falls short due to shallow squad so they rip that up and go down a different route. To everyone's surprise it works great for a year so what do they do, allow that to go to shit then have to bring in a firefighter. He shows the right way for a club like this but can't push it because of the same issues the previous two had so he jumps ship but leaving us in 5th. So yeah they pull that to bits and install the latest installed puppets very own puppet and we are by the looks of it right back to the final summer of TM where more budget cuts and a transition to youth, freebies became priority. Unreal.

To be fair they probably spent whatever loose change there was left in the calculations after budgeting past, present and future transfer income for wages and bills. Didn't they say there was enough to cover it for the next twelve months or so ? I expect the Venky brand will shove in a bit more sponsorship money to top it off but of course the ever lasting court case and guarantees will be the reason VH group doesn't slap in its now legendary annual 20 mill.

The only plan here is wing it year by year and hope to have a squad to stay in the Championship. A loose plan by some of them is a rebuild every 2 or 3 years after selling what they can to pay down the running cost debt then grow another lot to sell. In between the void between Blackburn and India some continue to do very nicely indeed from the wing it/loose plan blueprint. No wonder they aren't arsed about wins or league position.

You've just won the Rudy Gestede Fan Post of the week award. A signed photo and Craig Conway coffee mug is on the way !

The real question is how long will it take to conceded two tomorrow ? First 5 ?, First 10 ? If we can get past 20 mins without conceded one we are in with a chance.

Why is he coming out with that crap anyway ? We haven't spent big money on a first team ready player since the signing of Rhodes 13 years ago so nobody remotely expects that. Clown.

The priority here is to put wages and bonuses in certain pockets, guarantee and safeguard that first and foremost then the rest can follow.

As much as i rate him and didn't want him to leave we owe him nowt all this team owes is the travelling hardcore.

Don't think it's far off a sell out to be fair and anything over 700 is another sterling effort.

They never ever get it right i mean go back a few years and look at the combined 12 million they spent on Gallagher and Brereton. What could a good board of directors or DoF have done with that money ? The likes of Warnock got teams promoted on less and this lot got the square root of about 2 mill back from that and not even an appearance in the play offs. God knows how many millions went to Gallagher in wages also yet these complete clowns are still running the show.

He's a WUM he has massive form for it down the years with Rovers the Pears thing he put out there just at a time he was beginning to get some grief again after performing quite well. The guy is and always has been an agents stooge.

But to exercise it he's likely to have to overrule Gestede and Suhail.....

It's already been twisted by Waggot who offered the opinion it was all before my time but there's always this under current that surfaces whenever we have a bad run ! So for me the points WHY we are unhappy needs constantly pushing and that narrative needs writing to head off the 'owners have invested 2/300 million, 20 million a season to keep us going you'd be out of business without them look at Bury look at Bury' Sick of hearing that crap and he and the rest should never ever get away with writing their own narrative. Forget the recent past even there's enough in the last few years to piss off virtually every remaining fan and the catastrophic fall off this season is mostly down to low/poor reinvestment and another good coach liked by fans and worshipped by most of the squad has left due to issues with the people in the background. That is the narrative that needs pushing imo.

Only time he'll get any appreciation on here is when he is long gone. Being fair to the constant critics replacing him with a budget wouldn't be that hard - calibre of recruitment staff notwithstanding - but replacing him for the cost of a tea bag with a cheap import, academy graduate, piss weak loanee most certainly will not.

If/when the worst comes to the worst do we think for one minute they'd then decide the time was right ? Would they #### they'd raise prices again probably 'we've only got 9k fans so lets have every penny we can from them, we'll not sell 10k even if we halve them'. That bullshit position was taken by them years ago.

Relegation - Audit - reset - target Premier League = Fail Journey, slow build, target promotion = Fail Project, restructure staff & style, target play offs = Fail Avoid relegation, new solid identity on and off pitch, no budget, target play offs = Fail Complete summer rebuild of entire squad by head coach and HoF with zero pedigree of that between them on a 2 million budget =..............

Not losing until the end of the season now the play offs are off limits and we have a coach nobody wants would be such a classic Rovers thing to do.

Chief gravy boat sailor for 30 years.

I'm assuming it's because he's pitched himself cheaper than anyone for a long time however don't be surprised if it isn't that but instead these collection of idiots thinking soley of compensation from another club if he did well. They've got a taste for it now.

Consider Sheff Weds sold 4 thousand tickets and there was less in the Blackburn end than the DE. Season tickets are always counted in the attendance whether there or not, always have been.

No way those home turnstiles clicked more than 7 thousand times tonight, no way. Absolutely looking at 9-10 thousand home gates at times next season right back to 1990 levels unless something drastic changes. Their reaction ? Probably sell someone to cover the expected shortfall.
