Cry baby fans? Most fans I come across seem to be happy enough treading water for ever more in second division mid table.

Ok, take Venky’s, Kean et al out of it. Sounds like you want it to be about the recent team and managers we’ve had. But on the pitch we’ve been largely shite, so who on earth would be the slightest bit interested in a documentary about this complete non event of a decade?

The response to Hillsborough was not thought through and has had long standing consequences. It was never standing itself that was the issue. We now have horrendous atmospheres in the home areas of most grounds and away fans standing anyway, but in seated areas!

Honestly? The same? The game that was just on left me cold in the few minutes I had it on, in fact I don’t think I’ve watched a full game since the WC semi final. Whereas with the Rovers I kick every ball. Can’t remember us ever having a deep and meaningful about Southgate or Harry bloody Kane. Though maybe that’s because you’d have got the Partridge shrug of a shoulder from me if you’d tried to initiate one

With you there, removed the series link for MOTD this season. I absolutely love the sport, the impact it has had on English society for 150 years. The fact that clubs levels down in the non league pyramid attract crowds bigger than some SPL clubs. Blackburn Rovers means everything to me, for me and my family the club is part of who we are. But the game at the top level? No interest.

Ok... not sure you are really listening... anyway, good luck with it.

You are very thin skinned, I was offering some advice, up to you if you take it on board. It is still a loaded question, wanting to move on and still blaming Venky’s for our lost decade are not mutually exclusive.

Pollsters don’t just put a survey in Facebook. You need a representative sample, you have no control over the responses or responders, easily trolled. Secondly your question is loaded. Asking if people would rather ‘focus on the past and make someone pay’ is usually somebody would avoid clicking in favour of ‘focusing on the future and moving on’. Human nature. I despise Venky’s with every fibre of my being, but even I would probably avoid that ‘past’ answer. Also, why ask if you ‘hate’ Kean? That is a word some people would avoid using even if they thought he was a key architect of our decline. Think you need to start again and take some advice on board instead of being arsey about it.

One of the main stories on BBC Football... https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/49581670

Monk sounded like he was up to his neck in it... back employed in a few months. The fact that 7 years on Kean has still not worked in any capacity in the UK says it all.

Last season’s holders are going to have their STs auto renewed unless they tell the club otherwise (DIrect Debit payers). Quite a lot of clubs do similar.

Rovers lose any game and it ruins my weekend. England lost the semi final of the World Cup and I’d forgotten about it by the time I’d walked upstairs.

The rugby club badge is a good ‘un though, good mix of Blackburn and Lancashire heritage.

Been around much longer than 30 years...

‘Good enough’ Sounds about right for modern Blackburn Rovers.

Looking at their forum and Bolton News comments, a fair few DO think they can now survive. Hope springs eternal and all that, but bringing in largely run of the mill third division plodders will mean that will be some feat from where they are... though the EFL will surely help them out, as they have gone very quiet on any further point deductions.

Conway and Rodwell haven’t been signed up anywhere, neither has Whittingham from last summer...

We supposedly had 11,500 home fans in attendance against Cardiff, so 2,000 or so of those are theoretically paid ‘walk ons’, but I imagine some of those would have be complementaries too. So the actual numbers of folk actually buying a ticket game by game for standard games must be under 2k. No wonder he wants to push STs, as the Ewood attendance has always been very ST heavy and only an increase in ST sales will drive crowd increases. Good job that £3 keeps it all manageable down there, ay...

I thought it was 8,600 sales. So under 8s being bundled in with the complementaries to take us up to 9,500 or so ‘holders’. 10,000 sales being what he actually wants.

I sit near some Rishton lads and I’ve asked them that and they are adamant it’s still heavily Rovers. But it’s still a worry that those changes have even happened to a town with a BB1 postcode literally on Blackburn’s boundary.

I don’t think you do see the ‘big picture’ Atko. You seem to think these young players will keep improving and fulfil their potential, ergo improving the side. Many a young player simply doesn’t kick on. The top end players that should be there to supplement said young lads can quickly end up over the hill - prime example Mulgrew, and unfortunately Graham seems to be heading that way, or they leave - could well be Dack’s last season. You are then back to square one, hoping the next batch of young lads improve and we carry on ad infinitum with this ‘slow build ‘ that never actually builds. ‘This time next year Rodders...’

Probably not, I imagine both will drop away. Charlton are continuing the trend of many a promoted side showing early season momentum.

I honestly don’t think we are close to being a top 6 side and talking to plenty of our fans yesterday that was a fairly shared view.

Good to hear it. So just Phil then.
