I did read it, sounds like nonsense to me. He got noticed last season for having us up there throughout and in a cup QF, not ‘playing the right way’ as we were pretty prosaic for the most part.

Why would he get more attention for having a long forgotten club in their usual mid table position over steering them into a first play off campaign in donkeys years?

It became clear to me in the 2011, 2012 protest period that most folk just want to watch a team in blue and white they have an connection to play a game of football once a fortnight. They aren’t particularly arsed about all the rest of it like us tragics on here. There are loads of empty seats at Ewood compared to most of our Championship peers, ergo we must have ‘shit support’ and be a ‘small club’, so these owners keeping the bills paid is good enough for them and we should be bloody well grateful for it too.

Sky purely seem to pick teams towards the top, regardless of how they play. So we’ll hardly be on at this rate… it’ll be PNE fans watching the NYD game at noon and random fixtures on a Saturday night this time if they aren’t careful…

AW is being expected to run Championship games twice a week at 19, he isn’t Bellingham (sorry Phil), just a very promising young lad, so needs nurturing and taking out the firing line every now and then… that can’t happen here due to horrendous recruitment.

These threads appear every now and then, but it’s what Oldgregg said. Those in Ewood put up with it, everyone else has stopped/will stop going. The era of protests has long gone.

Thirteen years with these owners and further away than ever, a pretty damning assessment of this regime from you, Rev…

Presume that means you want the bloke sacked? In September, after another embarrassing window, with these players? Ridiculous stuff.

Imperial Stout in 1904, Lion Brewery well ahead of its time.

*And when priced correctly, it’s always been that way.

Chaddy choosing not to attend a Rovers home game, not a lot more to be said to how this decision has landed.

Great effort for a right old trek at 31 quid a ticket after an iffy start to the season. The away support is at its strongest for a long time, anyone would think there’s potentially good support at Blackburn Rovers to harness…

6k is plenty for early round cup ties, indeed it’s the best it’s been here for years for such games and compares well with what most other similar clubs get. Are those clubs closing two out the three home stands for them? Have things now got so bad cash flow wise that even opening two home stands for first team games is seen as unaffordable? Anybody else feel this is just the tip of a fast approaching iceberg?

So he is now planning for Accy Stanley crowds for first team games? Nicely sums up his tenure.

The old Riverside 🥰

…and the result is they walk away.

The days of vocal protests have long gone. Folk now just walk away.

Born and raised in Germany to Bosnian parents.

8 days to KO, most tickets for early round cup ties are sold on the day of/day before the game. So he can still salvage the situation by opening it for sales this week. A real leader would put his hand up, realise he’s unnecessarily antagonised loyal supporters and get it open, on a practical level no harm done… however this charlatan strutting around in a club tie who somehow gets to run this prestigious football club has neither the humility nor the nous to do such a thing.

And he’d see that as justification… as would the sheep fans on social media.

The Ewood crowd stays right behind the team and is very patient with players that often arrive very raw or through the Academy. It is clear they understand where we are as a club these days. So it really annoys me when our fans are labelled ‘shit’ or ‘fickle’ by supposed ‘fellow’ supporters. We obviously just need more of them - and the fact we don’t is purely the fault of the powers that be.

Hudds and Bolton’s crowds are far more impressive than PNEs. Though not surprising when Bolton’s only cost £219, as an example to how much more expensive it is here, that full ST is still cheaper than a half ST here.

Unless they’ve sold the entire Darwen End It won’t be 20,000. Believe they’ve sold c4k.

He’s shown his true colours tonight that’s for sure. Though certainly a good insight to what those working at the club actually think. I.è they don’t have a clue but it’s still everyone else’s fault.

Indeed, spot the bloke well in with the plonkers running the club (into the ground).
