You may have a point with the current older generation TS. History tells us that if the teams performing well the fans will come, it’s been that way since 1875. For all the old miserable sods like me and you, we have new fans, our kids and grandkids that can’t wait for the season to start.

Took me a while I must admit, but after Premiership survival at Wolves under that scumbag Kean, I felt that summer would be a turning point, it wasn’t and from that moment on I knew these owners are either thick or crooked, probably both. Badly advised my arse, after 10yrs of decline how can fans be so gullible? I guess a healthy bank balance helps……

I think that comment just goes to show you don't understand the fan base Mercer. Thanks to Jack we'll always have a health fan base, even before Jack came in we punched above our weight on the fan front from time to time. The numbers maybe dwindling, people are sick of Venkys, but they'll return if those rats do the right thing and bugger off.

Football fans in general are a resilient bunch, I know no other industry where as a consumer you can be treated so badly so often, yet still want to throw your hard earned cash at the product. But there comes a time when even the most hardened fan base (which we are not) have had enough and I think we're reaching that point under Venkys ownership. The fans will always be there as far as I'm concerned, thats just my opinion, if Venkys sod off back under the rock and sell the club to local ownership then the fans will return, our fanbase is strong, but many have just simply had enough of the owners and the cr@p appointments. I'll go next season, thats what we do as fans, I have no expectations, we are a million miles from a playoff spot and even further from having a club geared up for Premiership football, I just hope these morons crawl back under that rock and allow this club and town to heal.

One step closer for the Waspi campaigners, a scandal that needs putting right: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-57900320

.....and I've got another one. Hired some equipment from HSS hire last week, what a palaver...... First of all ordered online, thats the protocol at the moment, put my card details in, message comes up, cancelled order, but the money has gone from the account. Rang them up. "We don't take any money up front sir" "Well its gone from my account" "I've just checked, you'll get it back in 5 days, its in a holding area"........ "What about my kit"? "Order it again online but use a different card" That worked and the equipment was delivered, but upon closer inspection a main part was missing, the drivers gone by this time......... "You've dropped off xxxx and xxxx is missing" "Can you nip to B&Q and buy the part, it'll be quicker than us coming back out to you" "Should that not be, I'm sorry we've made a mistake"? "Happens all the time sir, but I am sorry yes" Told them to pick the lot back up and reimburse me, supposed to arrive yesterday, not seen them so far, could come today who knows. Shambles from start to finish, I'll never use HSS hire again. Similar story with Argos this weekend too, but I won't bore you with the details.

I see that crackpot Piers Corbyn was demonstrating against Vaccines in London yesterday, police attacked, arrests made, bottles thrown and general disorder, its been a feature of many demonstrations throughout this pandemic and it would be naïve to think that the mass gathering hadn't caused many deaths across the country. Not much coverage in the media at all really. Sunday 11th July - England v Italy - Small scale disorder, a fence got pushed over and a barrier breached, its still in the news today, but its football supporters, 100,000+ of them in London that day, hooligans that lot of them. Double standards? I'd say so, been going on for years, gutter press.

Changed it for you, please think bigger picture....... Mowbray and Waggot are a symptom, Venkys are the virus, Oxford AstraZeneca over to you, I want to be double vaccinated by August. Venkys Out!

Its not irrelevant Rev, but it does put to bed the excuse that "They've been badly advised" - When in fact they've had lots of very good advice from day 1, coming from real footballing people, they just chose to ignore it and here we are 8 manager later, numerous chairmen/CEO's later and £150m debt.

Bought tickets tonight to watch Bob Dylan in our front room, how about that, 3 songs in, absolute genius. http://www.bobdylan.com/

I remember years ago The Telegraph used to give them to local paper shops, you could get them in the club shop also, couldn't wait to sellotape one to my bedroom wall. Home shirts still hadn't come out before July holidays either, some things never change.

What many of us have been saying for years, sadly some fans do not see that the real issues lie upstairs, some post on here. The changes can only start on the pitch and in the dugout but fans know that the real issues lie upstairs and with the club now heavily indebted to the Venky’s, it begs the question of whether we’ll see change before we see relegations, worsening financial problems and the collapse of a once great Blackburn Rovers. I'll also add that I've never heard the phrase ‘Mowbrayball’ from the article.. As @arbitro said last week and some of us have been saying for a while, give me non league football tomorrow to get rid of Venkys and I'd take that now. This club and town can then start to rebuild, hopefully in time for my grandchildren to take on the baton and do it with pride and passion for this once great football club. But we digress....

Ewood or Old Trafford?

Controversial…… Root didn’t run him out, he should have, let the umpires sort it out. Great sportsmanship, but Roots been conned here.

Tell me you didn’t boo Wilcox and Sherwood Asia? Please….

That your flag Matt? 👍

🙄 🙄

That depends when Jimmy made that comment. It could have been when The Riverside used to boo Wilcox, or The Blackburn End used to Boo Sherwood, imagine that! 2 Premiership winners!

Plenty of first team experience in that side, it’s certainly not weak or you’d be playing 👍

No even a contest……

Recording artist Sabrina Washington has just murdered ‘Abide with me’ and the national anthem, let’s hope the final is better than that. Cant see past a St Helens win.

Lancashire v Yorkshire T20 - 5pm today. Bury black pudding, tripe and Lancashire hotpot for tea, washed down with a pint of Wainwright’s. Could you imagine…..😂

You'll struggle to find a manger in the country who isn't involved in any restructure of the academy or training facilities, Kenny, Hartford, Hodgson, Hughes and Allardyce have all played key roles in this area whilst at the club that I know of, its not unusual. Where I have a problem is this bullshit theory, fabricated on social media, that the multi millionaire manager of a Championship club is set to benefit finally if we sell part of the training ground, thats my only point here, its complete and utter nonsense. Selling part of the training ground would have been a scandal, I wouldn't trust Waggot as far as I could throw him, but hammer the manager for footballing reasons, not some fabricated lies on social media. As you say, back to Park, impressive record of unearth talent, yet 8 pages of negativity........What did Jimmy Armfield say, they're not a crowd at Ewood, they're a jury.

The online whispering campaign about him somehow benefiting from the sale of the training ground was absolute clap trap, fabricated nonsense. Outside of this site nobody believes that to be true in my experience, people I talk to just think he's past his sell by date and in reality that is the mans only crime despite the histrionics on here. 8 pages so far on a new chief scout, mostly negative, a chief scout who seems to have a great record at discovering talent, I wish the guy well.

Never! 😃
