It makes me sick to the stomach, anyone who wants to forgive and forget should read the entire article, but at least read this final comment on that excellent piece: A group of clueless Indian poultry farmers running a famous old British football club in this manner unchecked, unregulated and uninterrupted isn’t right and shouldn’t be tolerated.

Brilliant woman, strong woman and a wise woman who gave her entire life to public service. RIP Ma’am.

Spot on 👍

My money would have been on Batty. I heard an interview with Sutton recently who said everyone in the dressing room wanted to plant one of Le Saux at this time, he never elaborated as to why.

Its always the same before Wigan away, big following guaranteed, pubs full, you have to plan ahead!

I was almost signed up and booked on the trip to Moscow, so glad I never bothered with the players on the ale and Batty vrs Le Saux handbags live on national Tv. Rubbish group for the fans, we had dreams of Barcelona, Madrid and Milan……

Stop being silly and get yourself down there 😉

Codswallop. For all the reasons already stated over the past few pages.

I'll take you word for it 👍

Angry.

Bingo.

I think you've both missed the point, or maybe I never made it very well. It wasn't so much a point about the numbers, it was a point about the pride and passion, Steve Gibson run club, local owner, poor town, all pulling in the right direction. We had it once, we can have it again if these swines sod off.

Over 30,000 at Boro last night, the place was bouncing before kick off, everything that Ewood is missing sadly. Give the fans something to get behind, local pride, local passion and that last night would be the result, or at least someway to it.

Lucky…..😂

I've been speaking to a colleague in Italy this afternoon, AC Milan fan, the fans loved JDT when he played for Milan, his nickname: The White Scorpion Superb 👍

Are you trying to make us all look as bad as Mercer 😁 Have a word with yourself...

When I think of Wigan away I think of that Steven Reid thunderbolt from 25yrds, brilliant strike. Wigan beat Luton and Birmingham away last week, after getting hammered by the dingles. Best we can hope for on recent form is a draw in my opinion. 1-1

Not something you come across on matchdays in my experience M_B, mostly confined to social media (The land of make believe). I feel a song coming on.....

Rovers are losing local fans because those parasite chicken farmers have destroyed the football club, no other reason and living in Yorkshire will never change that fact. We still have a large fanbase across Lancashire, with every post you make you seem to extending the radius, which is the correct thing to do, you're learning. If you put this football club back in Premiership next season we'd be back to 17k home fans midweek and 20k a weekends, like we've always had. Gates are up this season by the way, maybe you'll have to read the 2021 census to understand why, but I can tell you now, its the existing fanbase with some renewed hope, nothing to do with fans moving in or out of the area. I’m unsure what your motives are with this series of posts, I get the feeling something else is grinding your gears?

With the greatest of respect this just isn’t true, where are you getting this stuff from? We've never had a strong Asian following and never will have, but been in business since 1875. We had regular gates of 5000 in 80’s, football didn’t start in 1992. We have a healthy fan base that would increase with success on the pitch and our support doesn’t only come from Mill Hill and Darwen. Where are you getting this nonsense from?

Was it Mowbray that said some fans still think it’s 1995? We have one poster expecting an ‘Eddie Howe Newcastle bounce’ which only happened after spending tens of millions and that codswallop above…..

Nonsense. Newcastle hardly won a game until they opened the cheque book and got knocked out of the FA Cup by Cambridge when Howe joined the club. JDT needs time, he’s not a miracle worker.

I'd take that right now, I'd take league 2 also to get rid of them. This club will never recover whilst we have absent owners who couldn't give a toss what goes on thousands of miles away in Lancashire. To many fans, putting £30m in a season now seems like a great gesture, it hardly scratches the books of a billionaire, they won't even notice it, its that insignificant in the grand scheme of things to them. With that being the case, why have they sold the training ground? Why are they now emptying the academy of all the young talent, many of whom are not ready for Championship football? What are they going to sell next? I like the current manager, but he was way down the pecking order reading between the lines. He's been given peanuts to strengthen his squad after all the departures in the last few years, its worrying times right now. We need them out, then the club can start to recover, we have a very good fan base that could get behind a new local owner, or a new owner/owners that actually have a plan and want whats best for Blackburn Rover, the town and its supporters.

I really don't understand this obsession with slagging Pickering off, it was prominent on the match day thread yesterday and he had a decent game, he's far from our main problem at the moment. I lost count of the number of attacks he setup, he linked up really well with Diaz in the first half and defended well. I think the problem with him is, he can't attack and defend at the same time, he needs cover in behind him and that was lacking at times, new formations eh...... If we had pots of cash yes I'd look to replace him, but I'd replace one of two others in the sqaud first, Pickering is the least of our problems right now.

Maybe log off Rigger, it’s clearly been a long day. Live to fight another day pal.
