Shame a small Mediterranean state and/or St John’s Ambulance hadn’t trademarked that cross…

Fair enough, obviously been made more difficult to find though as I always went via that route. So, published then. Eight ‘Chiefs’ and ‘Head Ofs’ for the Fans Forum, if ever there was a neat example of how you stumble upwards at Ewood Park. No final figure for ST sold, perhaps the magical figure of 9,000 wasn’t even hit. RG said all the senior pros wanted to leave, hmmm, yeah nothing to worry about there and he will ask about January ‘in due course’, yeah no rush not as if we could be deep in a relegation battle by then or anything. So all in all the usual deflection and ‘can’t, can’t can’t’

It looks as if all previous FF minutes have been removed from public view as you can no longer click into the FF section of the website. https://www.rovers.co.uk/fans

I’ve never come across a football fan as averse to a bit of physicality than ER. This is second division English football.

Tim, Everything you say there makes perfect sense for normal clubs… alas we aren’t one, this club isn’t going to be any stronger as a result.

It’s the only local fixture and the days of it not being on TV are over with the broadcast deal, so no point hiding behind ‘well, if it was Saturday 3pm’, we should always be looking at minimum 4k.

We were only given 3,800 initially (holds 5,500), presume that is still the allocation being sold.

No women on the calendar for 2026 then?

The official 150th teddy bear has a scarf on, just cut it off it.

It was purely a chance for a get together, swap old war stories with free booze and food thrown in... and a 40 minute kick about. Most of them won't give the club a second thought at any other time, so they certainly aren't going to be calling out whoever it is that happens to be running the club now, fans don't like them? 'well, that's football'.

Amazing how it's only here where managers *turn down* the chance to sign players.

Selling Hyam without a replacement when the remaining centre halves are highly injury prone shows that this is not a serious football club (not that we needed reminding).

Not a lot of positives to getting older, but the fact I can remember a time with players of a slightly higher pedigree than Matt Kilgallon and Gordon Greer is one of them.

A loan for a fella brought in injured and he won’t now be fit enough to start a game *at least* until December… some set up this.

Only BwD schools though, certainly not any other parts of east Lancs, don’t want to step on to Accy Stanley’s territory.

‘Police said no’.

Could’ve put the borough coat of arms on the green one, Maltese cross alongside the rose on the home (or on the yellow). All very quick solutions, instead, as usual, they somehow end up providing nothing.

Sounds like most decisions that are taken down there.

Sack the fans!

Of course next season we will be back to no shirts at all for months on end.

Standard script with managers that toe the line here, used to always hear ‘getting up to speed’ nonsense from TM too.

Not incredible to me, just standard for a lot of fans, they live in a team only bubble .

You just need to understand a big percentage of match goers, they by and large aren’t interested in ‘off the field’ stuff. They just want to ‘get behind the club’. They see a manager that left for a club in a similar position in the league and they can’t comprehend it over ‘well, he’s greedy, boo, hiss 🐍!’ They don’t put two and two together as to why so many players and managers want to get away, they are just ‘disloyal’. They furthermore see dissenting chants as also not ‘getting behind the club’, though in reality that is what the dissenters are doing as we are the club and want better for it instead of meekly accepting this regime’s downsizing of it.

‘The club’ being Rudy Gestede, Suhail and the Rao family. Obviously people that deserve blind allegiance.
