I was about to say, I thought we were supposed to be commemorating 150 years of Blackburn Rovers, not 150 years of the Borough of Blackburn with Darwen…. Suppose it’s telling that they are steering clear of celebrating the actual football club they’ve completely fucked over.

Do we care how they come across? The last guy was a very good manager and that’s all I want from them.

‘A love letter to Blackburn’… then show Darwen Tower.

The deal was *fine*… U21 appearances, or something.

Oh Waco, I do admire your enthusiasm… but no, they couldn’t give a flying fuck.

It’s only a friendly.

Seems like marketing 101 to me (not often you can say that about this lot). A game on the day a new kit goes on sale, wear it. Who cares if we are at home, it’s. a. friendly.

Yeah not too fussed, it’s only a friendly and if we want to advertise our new away shirt, then go for it.

Revidge Ru...oh!

What a grubby, small time set up from top to bottom.

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.
