Skous18 isn't banned and I can't see any restrictions on your IP... are you sure its not your side? What happens if you use private browsing?

They had their Russian Oligarch funding removed when the war broke out, spent a fortune whilst they had investment which has resulted in very little resale value but high contracts and have hundreds of millions of investment into their new stadium.

Your Expectations for this Season?
J*B replied to SIMON GARNERS 194's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Will Sigurdsson and Ennis score / assist 22 goals between them? My money would be on no - mostly because I’m hoping we sign a No9 and Ennis is second choice. -

If I have a pound to bet, I'd be comfortable putting it on Sigurdsson not scoring more than BBD did last season. 15 goals (BBD = 14 G, 4A) in his first season is a big ask. -
Season tickets 2023-24 - what could/should be offered ?

I used to work in City Centre pre-COVID and I've never seen a homeless problem like in Leeds. It needs (needed) urgently addressing. Although any more discussion should probably move to WDWY! -

Right now we won’t score anywhere near enough goals to be a threat to the top six. More to follow. -

23/24 kit; is a new sponsor needed?
J*B replied to alex l's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Selling out of the new kit online within 15-minutes is classic Rovers. -

I offered - again - free access to our studio in Manchester and film facilities. Didn’t hear any back. Although last year they used Unmarked Agency, who are good, so they might have done it with them again. -
Agree entirely apart from the second to Kean line. We've had some serious shite including Owen fucking Coyle that are way higher than Mowbray on my disliked list.

If you — or perhaps someone you know — can recommend any other options I’d be happy to look into them @Eddie . -

If you screenshot any that are overly intrusive we can block them for you (if we agree), this shouldn’t be the case. We already block a lot of ads, including the ‘big’ money which is in gambling, crypto and vaping ads. So if anyone sees any of these especially please send them in either on PM to myself or email to admin@brfcs.com. The company that hosts the ads are always on at us to have more - full screen ones, ones that move. We tell them we don’t want them either. We are actively trying to not be dickheads with the advertising. The reality is the site I took over in 2017 would have gone under in 2020 if we hadn’t been proactive and put proper advertising in. The IT costs have spiralled and need to be paid for somehow. -

The subscription options are here: https://www.brfcs.com/subscriptions/ There isn’t a one month trial, there’s a reduced cost of £1.99 for one month on the monthly. That can be cancelled during month one, then you can buy the annual for £39.99/year giving you 13 months for £3.23 / month. -

It’s a little complicated because we get paid based on the amount the ad space is valued at by the company that runs them. At Christmas or during January sales or near Father’s Day, ads are expensive because more people are advertising, so even if we don’t get many people on the site the payment is enough. The bigger issue is during the summer months there’s nothing on event wise that advertisers want to spend money on. So the value of the adverts is low and the number of site visitors drops as well. The two combined can be a touch concerning. It’s very interesting looking at the data though. Ennis signing had very little effect. Tronstad saw a little boost, perhaps an early cup game against a lower league side. Sigurdsson brought more numbers than a match day would. -
Hello everybody. There’s been a bit of talk recently about the ads on the site, so I wanted to clarify the position of the site. BRFCS is a not for profit (so far this year we’ve donated to Rovers Ladies, Tony Parkes, Rio Spurr amongst others) and as such is ran pretty close to the wire financially. We make revenue in three main ways: Adverts, BRFCS premium and sponsorship (thanks The Terrace, Rovers Trust). The ads are our biggest source of income, but income that is based on site visits. So during the season, especially around ‘big’ games the site does well and out of season the site doesn’t do well. We offer ‘premium’, which is an ad free experience so that anyone that either doesn’t like adverts or wants to help support the site has an option to do so. We don’t want to get into the world of asking for donations, so Premium is the offering for anyone wanting to support the site. As it’s off-season, this is a gentle reminder that if you enjoy BRFCS, or would like to say thanks to the team that work on it for free and give something back, premium is available here if you can afford to do so : https://brfcs.com/magazine/premium and you can read more here:

They’re not broken. If you enjoy having BRFCS, you have two options: 1) Close the ads and accept the site needs to generate revenue to pay the bills. 2) Pay for Premium, our ad free offering: https://brfcs.com/magazine/premium

Season tickets 2023-24 - what could/should be offered ?

You’re wasting your time even debating it. Rovers can’t do anything, even if they wanted to, because Sodexo have the contract to serve all food on the premises. Because that contract is the easiest way possible for Waggott to hit his numbers. -
I’d love us to be able to compete in the Premier League without having to compromise the values of our town and the people we represent. I’ve no interest in competing in the premier league if it means compromising the values I associate with the club. I’ve no interest in being in the premier league if we cannot compete and lose to the likes of Newcastle, Chelsea and soon to be Qatar owned Manchester United most weeks.

Depends on what you’re willing to compromise for success. They’re a complete morale-less black hole, previously owned by a Russian oligarch and now puppeteered by Saudi cash converters. I’d honestly rather not complete at the same level as them. Let them go and mess around with their nonsense super league. Bring back football without sports washing.
