Unintended consequences.

Petard, hoisted.

‘Not doing them’.

If ever a phrase summed up the past fifteen years.

Well, there you go, I’ve got sellers remorse now.

They’ll be stuck in China because of Covid or was it the Suez Canal? I forget what excuse we are going with this time.

Not a single post on his thread for over four years says a fair bit.

Decent run of form under JDT, but largely average displays either side (when not injured). Bits and pieces player.

Yeah but they are The Gentry though 🎩.

Ha I was merely speculating… but there you go! But still, something about ‘plastics’.

Like how the SpudBros are trying to pretend they are life long nobbers, not LFC like the majority of the place.

But then you have to have been content to know that everything that happened between 1991 and 2010, wouldn’t have, including the Ewood we now have, the training ground, the academy. If you hand on heart are, fair enough, not sure I am.

Venky’s are the outlier in 150 years of history, if the idiotic Walkers had sold up to anyway half normal owners we wouldn’t be having this conversation.
 

Blackpool at Brockhall on a midweek afternoon.

Cashing in on daft TikTokkers.

Indeed they do (and further afield than that), yet the club seems to think their engagement (if you can even call it that) has to stop outside the arbitrarily drawn 1970s BwD borders… yet one look at their own database will surely tell them that the majority of the fanbase is now outside the town.

But in reality, what will happen? ‘We want Venky’s out’ some bedsheets about Suhail? 

A midweek match will probably have about 6k in the ground next season. Of course, the fact there will be 6k in the ground for said games tells you what the wider fanbase has done - walked away in their droves, no better show of dissent than that to panic the owners of a business… but this lot couldn’t give a flying fuck about that.

The death by a thousand cuts/slow boil of a frog, what ever analogy you want to use is why this lot will always get away with it, as they’ve always done just enough to keep the show on the road, be it wages or whatever else. They’ve always been canny enough to not let it all explode into the open, a la Sheff Wed.

It is the worst possible situation to be in as it allows them to run the club down without any scrutiny until they’ve reduced us to god knows what level… with a good percentage of the fanbase applauding them as they do it, by the way.

Good that there’s a Head of Women’s Football though overseeing things down there… only snag no women allowed in.

Think the FF is either this week or next, so presumably they’ll give an update. Looks like very few have been sold post phase 1 (quelle surprise), so 8 thousand and something?

The 150th should be something like £15 an adult, £1.50 a kid (or whatever), try and get as big a crowd as possible… but yeah this lot, they’ll make it Cat A and then be amazed that having Kevin Gallacher et al walk around the pitch pre game and some other naff stuff doesn’t lead to a bumper gate.

What a bunch of grifters they are down there.

£33 to £38 on a weekend to sit in the Darwen End Upper ‘central’ (whatever that’s supposed to be?). Obviously spotted it’s something QPR do.

I've always thought that we could and should do something similar albeit on a smaller scale. We could have more statues of a few club legends, such as the empty space facing the Jack Walker entrance, or the gates at the BBE and JW stands could be replaced with ornamental gates paying homage to our history. 

Alas effort and cost are off the table here. 

The two corners between the Jack Walker and the BE/DE would be great for a history mura… oh.

I have been told that Waggott had done some preparatory work in getting a game at Ewood on August 2nd and was looking at some established European clubs. Whoever has picked up the slack in his absence has gone to the Punekars and told them what the appearance fee would be and they aren't prepared to pay it.

Instead somebody has had a brainwave (probably thinking we could charge an appearance fee) to play abroad on that date and they are frantically searching for a team to play.

It was said that the money from the Everton friendly would finance the trip.

Let's see what happens but right now there is no game scheduled for August 2nd.

Obviously a shoe string operation down there… so of course, twenty odd ‘Head Ofs…’ are certainly required to spend those pennies down there, especially the one now overseeing an amateur team.

Darwen is more of a Rovers hotbed than Blackburn these days, so get the cream in there!

If a tribute to the borough… where’s the cream/beige?

Yet obviously a club that is a giant in comparison couldn’t possibly offer something similar, because, well, ‘we can’t’ ©️Fans Forum minutes since c2012.

No I left it there as you are unable to give your own explanation (as you don’t have one). So no point flogging a dead horse.

A 🦜 of authority lines, like you have been since the day you joined.
