Attendances: A cause for concern
SIMON GARNERS 194 replied to SIMON GARNERS 194's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
What would you change?...where the hell do you start! 1.Ask our owners,who have not attended a home game in years btw,to re-engage with the Supporter base expressing their desires and expectations as to what they expect in return for their Philanthropy.If they no longer have any desire and passion to be connected with this Club then put it up for sale and sell to prospective new owners who will give a damn and move this stagnant situation forward for the benefit of all concerned.We are simply going nowhere at present,a rudderless ship in a sea of shyte. 2. Employ a CEO with vision and an understanding of the Towns various demographics.Seriously,is it a wise move to charge ยฃ30+ in an area classed as one of the most poorest in England and then on the back of a Pandemic that has hit hard..what is the thought process in that?.He didn't get everything right but oh Lord for the days of a certain John Williams. 3.Employ a Manager who is able to get the very best from his side.A manager who does not speak to the fans like they are idiots (i don't look at the table bull) and wants to see us back in the top flight.It's been achieved by smaller clubs than us with a lesser budget.We are underachieving,there is no question. Feels like I'm just scratching the surface here but Jesus Christ,have Rovers fans ever before been in such need of reconnecting with their club?...Apathy reigns supreme but the causes are there for all to see surely. -
We are clearly losing our supporter base and fast.A new low under the dreaded tenure of Venkys happened tonight I believe....we experienced our lowest league gate at Ewood since it was rebuilt some 28 years ago.Apathy within the Town is clearly at an all time high since the dark days of the mid 80's. Blackpool(with all due respect) had some two thousand more on Bloomfield tonight,let that sink in. A decade of owner negligence,lack of supporter/owner interaction coupled with a CEO who appears to have little connection nor understanding of the local demographics of the Town and then you throw in a Manager well past his welcome and you have a recipe for disaster...you reap what you sow. To see Ewood so empty is a heartbreaker,this is not what JW wanted.A radical change of direction is needed within the corridors of Power at Ewood before It's too late. Genuinely worried and saddened at events unfolding.

Heartbreaking but we have folk running the club who are totally clueless to the local area and the general feeling within the Town. A new low indeed tomphil. -

Doesn't mean much?...when was the last time we had less than 9,000 home fans for a league game at Ewood? Very sad. -

Been a long time since two subs have made a difference to our performance like that! Khadra looked impressive. -

Tony Mowbray Discussion
SIMON GARNERS 194 replied to Neal's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Come Tuesday and Ewood could see it's lowest league game home crowd since the stadium was redeveloped some 27 years ago.A Manager who has no targets nor expectations and gives the impression he doesn't give a shiny shite either. Simply not good enough for this Club and it's Supporters. A slow,engineered decline and these b'stards are all in on it. -

Bill Fox did get it wrong in the end,thought the piece on him was disrespectful though. They didn't want an unfashionable club like Rovers leading the way..that came across loud and clear with snide comments from Merson etc. Best to come next week. -

I don't condone racism in any shape or form but by Christ we are having it rammed down our throats with the Sky test coverage. -
Holding the management to account
SIMON GARNERS 194 replied to RoversClitheroe's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Starting to believe a lot of our fans are living in a bubble...they simply don't want to address the situation nor face the harsh reality of our plight. Everything's ok so long as they get their Saturday football fix....'not my problem mate,just get behind 't lads!! If that is the case we have little to no chance. -
Holding the management to account
SIMON GARNERS 194 replied to RoversClitheroe's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Groups of fans 'trying to open up lines of communication' with our owners? That's right folks,our owners...some decade after taking control at Ewood and we are still at base camp.๐ The message should be clear and straightforward from a suffering fanbase: 'We have had enough of this bullshit and negligence.Either run this Club properly,taking a real Interest in trying to obtain the very best for it at all levels or simply sell the club ending your frankly so far embarrassing association with a respected and proud Footballing institution.Put the Club into the hands of people who care,people who really give a damn.' Enough is enough. -

They have had relatively little success compared to us tomphil...gloryhunters?...not too sure that one can be aimed at them either tbh. The old Aryesome Park ground was a hostile and intimidating place to go for away fans in the 80s...can remember a few 20,000+ gates v Rovers back in the day. -

Be careful of calling other clubs fans 'shit'...many will turn that on us after our recent success. Middling Mowbray to be out thought. 2-1 -
