It’s a message board, folk can be as positive or negative as they want and it makes no difference to the players, the manager or the signings we will/won’t make. So why the constant waste of time and energy going on about the mindset of anonymous people on the internet?

Nothing we don’t know. For me, our first XI has more than enough to be competitive in the Championship, however there are some extremely average players filling the rest of the squad, that’s what will drag us down this season.

The home shirt is nothing like 91/92 and I’m getting sick of people parroting the official line just because the club doesn’t seem to know its own history.

Extremely cheap looking. Reminds me of the generic kits you could buy for your Sunday league team in the back of Four Four Two magazine.

Aye, not sure who the equivalent of Ferguson would be in this situation...

That sounds a bit Roy Keane-esque for my liking...

Season Tickets 2018/19
Mattyblue replied to blueboy3333's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
The club doesn’t reside in the most affluent of areas, so we will have a good number of fans who won’t have particularly good credit ratings. This could turn into a fairly big issue for the club. Definitely needs to be raised at the next Fans Forum... -
Season Tickets 2018/19
Mattyblue replied to blueboy3333's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
No it doesn’t REALLY matter, but despite Waggott’s apparent professionalism, it is a sign that the club is still anything but an efficient organisation under these owners. Yes the shirt is out now, but the away one isn’t out yet and we’ll be kicking off our season in it in a week (though we don’t need to with that light blue), what other club takes this long? It’s not about existing ST holders renewing, but trying to entice new/returning ones. Details should have been on the doorstep and/or emailed to every single database member a day or 2 after Doncaster, or at least the day after Oxford. Try and catch the wave of optimism, just good marketing -

Season Tickets 2018/19

Sounds a very odd issue to me. Rovers must now be aware that they are losing signed up season ticket holders due to a policy of a third party? -
Poor player but before Christmas he did ok and scored a few goals. After Christmas Armstrong took over and scored even more. So who's going to be scoring them now?

Where are Rovers old grounds?

Apart from the obvious titles, cup wins etc. , for me the UEFA Cup run of 2006/07, in particulary the away trips are right up there. I went to all four; Salzburg, Wisla Krakow, Feyenoord, Bayer Leverkusen. Brilliant trips with fantastic followings - especially the thousands of Blues roaming around Amsterdam! I could have burst I was so proud. Year after a few pals went to the game Larissa in Athens and I couldn't make it, I remember saying 'I'll defo be at the next one', we got knocked out and never played in Europe again...

Exactly! That's why it always makes me laugh when folk go on about 'agendas' and 'certain posters love it when we get beat'. No we hate it, that's why we spend our days F5-ing some obscure message board!

End of the day it's not a true pyramid system like mens football they want. More akin to the licence system of the MLS in the States, i.e. those deemed with the most 'potential', i.e. Man Utd are fast tracked, other teams just trundle about at amateur level. I recall Rugby League tried it a few years back and quickly scrapped it.

They get mentioned because they are the owners, for good or ill. You can't discuss transfers, money etc. without a nod to those that hold the purse strings. Just over a week until we start a season in a higher division, two young lads signed and that's it. Past experience says that's a worrying sign and any Rovers fan with a memory longer than a goldfish will look to those that we should no longer name as the root cause - outspending the likes of Shrewsbury and Scunthorpe last season means bugger all...

Will even Grealish go? Lot of gnashing of teeth over not a lot, it seems...

The LT obviously know they are wringing every bit of copy out of not a lot, as they've stopped bothering with Mowbray's quotes after about 50 airings this summer.
-
Completely the fault of these owners that we’ve lot so much of our match going support, but the facts are we don’t get close to 20,000+ crowds and won’t in this division, so our lower income is a reality.

Not sure. The tide has turned from where it was 5 years ago.

Off topic but not true. Polling has shown that voters of all persusaions are in support of it.
