Venky’s (& Suhail) Out Protest Ideas
Mattyblue replied to DuffsLeftPeg's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
People are having a discussion about how protests are received at other clubs. Seems relevant to me. Like the transfer thread, if someone has something specific about protests at BRFC they’ll post them. -
Venky’s (& Suhail) Out Protest Ideas
Mattyblue replied to DuffsLeftPeg's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
They have the highest match day revenue in the Premier League, so to be 14th is a huge failure, not sure how it can be painted as anything else. -
So many echoes of 2011/2012, thirteen years on and straight back to the same playbook for a weak and nasty regime.

In reality there will be about 5,000 Rovers fans there on Tuesday. The final two home games will at least have some semblance of a home crowd… -
Neville telling it how it is re modern football. His Sky employers won’t like it, I’d imagine though…

Obviously I wasn’t talking about just this season as you know. Its ok, we’ve all had to make a conscious decision re this regime - you’ve decided to carry on attending over the years to support the team, no shame in that. -

Mattyblue replied to philipl's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
rigger, you’ve said repeatedly over the years that if it isn’t a night game you generally go, so I can have a decent guess how much that costs and it won’t be far off a ST. You have funded the regime more or less as much as any ST holder these past 14 years, sorry. -

We lose c4,000 ST Holders this summer… Swag-hail: ’Well, we were going to ban them anyway’. -

Mattyblue replied to philipl's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
I’ll ask you again, why have you called out ST Holders for 14 years when you have been spending pretty much the same over a season on match tickets? -

Mattyblue replied to philipl's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Then that’s different, but you’ve been calling out ST holders for far longer than recent weeks… -

Mattyblue replied to philipl's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
rigger has got himself in a right tangle on this for a few seasons now . He tries to take the moral high ground for not buying a ST… yet buys a ticket for most weekend games (add that cost up against a ST!)… so that is sticking it to the regime how, exactly? -

Mattyblue replied to Proudtobeblue&white's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Just fundamentally a nasty, cynical, small-time regime that since 2012 have had the life of Riley around Ewood in their club ties swanning around the lounges and such like as they systematically downsize the club and lower its standards. Then overnight they’ve been smoked out of their hole and they don’t like it one bit - so dividing their own fans is the only tactic they’ve ever had. Problem is Swag-hail most have now seen through it and momentum against you doesn’t subside when results are so poor - of course said results are shite due to your own ridiculous decision making… so a lesson there, keep taking the cheap option and eventually the house of cards collapses right on you. -

Agreed. Just leads to ‘Mullan’s lot never go anyway’ ‘brfcs? Keyboard warriors who never go’. Straight away you are playing into the regime’s hands. -

Didn’t quite hit the target those posts yesterday, did they, BnWA? Never mind, I imagine you’ve been asked to stand down from future interventions! 😅 -

Mattyblue replied to philipl's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Makes no difference, when was the last time we put in a good performance with a big home crowd on? These journeymen players obviously can’t cope with the pressure of a crowd. -

Mattyblue replied to philipl's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
That’s the thing TJ, I now live a fair distance from Ewood (not exactly Stafford where the two lads in front of me come from every week, but a decent drive). If I lived down the road I probably wouldn’t have helped myself in the end and would have gone. Now, as me and evermore of our fanbase spreads out across Lancs and beyond, it makes the decisions on not bothering, not renewing even easier when you look at the farce that is BRFC. -
It is true. Which is strange as haven’t they heard of ‘massively increased operating costs’

Valérien Ismaël: Blackburn Rovers Head Coach
Mattyblue replied to DE.'s topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Owen Coyle was like a performing seal on the touch line, means nowt, you can still be calm but get your point across to the players . However, this fella’s inaction is at a different level to what I’ve seen before, as tomphil says it’s like he’s completely detached, and it’s reflected in his game management. Cardiff game, went behind in the last half hour changed nothing for the next 15 minutes. Last night, 2-0 down, at home, and didn’t make a change from the 46th to 76th minute whilst stood like a statue. Really odd. -
But he’s ever so ‘umble!

Oh it’s 20k to 24k of home fans now 🙄 We didn’t get close to 24k home fans for most of the PL days, despite that status and being a happy club and fanbase, why the bloody hell would we now under a new owner in this league? Nobody expects that. No idea what your point is? Neither do you by the sounds of it (apart from besmirching Glen). -

I’m not doubting it, BnWR, I’m doubting you when you said new owners couldn’t possibly see us hit 20k - it’s only 3,700 from where we are now. We very much possibly could, just like we very possibly could have new owners. Step away from the board, you are contradicting yourself post to post. -

Mattyblue replied to DuffsLeftPeg's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Hang on despite a decade of farce we have an average crowd of 16,354, but we couldn’t possibly add 3,700 to that under a driven and engaged new ownership? You are talking some right confused twaddle. -
