Positives I can find: Seems to be local, so should be comfortable and happy in the area. Played well against us for Liverpool and Bournemouth. More experienced than Hill, who he essentially replaces.

Sounds like Carter and Hill are replaced with ORoirdon and Phillips. Can anyone make an argument for us to have improved at centre back?

Unfortunately as things stand, following this football club provides me with no happiness or excitement. These owners and their board have taken all the joy out of what used to be my favourite thing to do. Nowadays, for me personally, following Blackburn Rovers means trying to make sense of Indian court documents, arguing with fellow fans on Twitter who support this nonsense and trying to piece together all of the clues to work out what happens next. Some of the comments from our fanbase make me want to scream in frustration. But the more I think about it, maybe I’m in the wrong. There’s a majority of fans that it feels like are either too naive to read into it any further than surface level, or not intelligent enough to see this for what it is. Perhaps they deserve this and the misery that comes with it? But again… maybe there is no misery if your head is in the sand. Frankly, at this point, I’m extremely close to giving it all up and trying to find some solace in just going to down to Ewood occasionally and only thinking about Rovers for those couple of hours.

I’ve no idea what it is, so assume no!

Pending message from the owners…

Hey @Blagdonred Ive been lucky enough to get some tickets and could do with some advice - any chance you can offer some guidance? If so send me a DM 🙂

3 years at Palace and if he performs the world is his oyster on his next move

Job done. There’s more Wrexham fans now banned that any other fanbase I reckon. They’re absolutely awful this lot.

Adam’s Mum has retweeted “Crystal Palace have made a move for Adam Wharton” on Xwitter.

Or Ipswich.

I think you’re probably right. And I’m happy to accept that, which is partly why I have left the posts unhidden so people can make their own judgement. It’s also why I’ve given the context of ARA being a long term poster with an exemplary record. Sadly we live in a world where by not hiding the posts, someone can screenshot it and plaster it all over social media without context and it’s my name above the door. I’ve had numerous reports from other members which mean I have to do something and this feels the most sensible thing I can do.

It’s not often do I do this - but I’ve received so many reports I feel I have to. This post has resulted in moderation action. I have chosen not to hide any of the posts. There is an explanation further in the thread of what the poster meant. ARA is a long term poster and has a very good record here for not breaking forum rules. As Admin I have reviewed this and decided he has enough credit in the bank to avoid anything long term and I’m putting this down to an uncharacteristic misjudgement / poor metaphor. As a reminder, BRFCS as an website does not literate racism in any form.

Which is remarkable really, because less than six months ago you thought the season ticket pricing was fair and reasonable and local people should be buying them up.

50-100M for Rovers is about market rate in the current world. Plenty of people and consortiums with that sort of money knocking about. Develop a few good players under a proper footballing system and get promoted to the Premier League and everyone easily gets their money back.

Based on recent history, if the options are extend his deal or let him join a rival for free we can pretty much guarantee he’s playing for Boro next year.

J*B says if Watford want £4 million for him, it won’t be Rovers he moves to.

I don’t think we will go down, but I am very concerned about the future of the club. We’re where I expected us to be at the end of the summer transfer window, we have no feared strikers, three or four really good players at this level and a bunch of average ones. You cannot do a full season with a squad this small and inexperienced no matter who your manager is.

JDTs had a “shift in tone” according to Elliott. Wont talk about transfers or anything off field. Who can guess what mad shit we’ve done now?

I usually really like opposition fans on here - some of my favourite posters over the years have been fans from other clubs, including our six fingered friends. However, currently we’re experiencing a huge increase in registrations from Wrexham fans all around the world (I can see their IP) who seem to want to do nothing but cause trouble. Which is a real shame, because I thought their documentary was fantastic. For now, I’ll continue accepting them. But can members please be quick to report the stupid ones, so we can act? If it continues unfortunately we’ll just do a hard block on all of them.

Juke in for low hundreds of thousands, Gally out for decent £ is good business.

It’s just like fake news on Twitter, someone says it and it’s then repeated until it becomes true. Smells of episode two of @Herbie6590’s new niche podcast POB (price of Blackburn), titled “Life Before Venkys - what was it like and what is true?” so that we have something on record to revert back to every time younger fans make up that the place was on fire.

I feel like I’m on a different planet sometimes.

Which couldn’t be any more Rovers - the fans turn on the man who’s refusing to accept mediocrity instead of those bringing it.

Rovers fans ridding the club of Venkys by making policing costs too much for them to pay would be the ultimate payback.

The Whalley Branch endorses this message.
