Here’s a starter for ten…

We have a thread BTW 👍

I am aware of attempts by some fans to try & arrange a commemorative live music event in Blackburn in 2026… I've always fancied a “4000 Holes” live event but it needs a LOT of time & energy to arrange. Not ruling it out but I’m way too busy to devote the required energy right now. Remind me in 6 months 😉

I believe this was investigated (by the Trust? 🤔) but the Indian press wouldn’t carry the ads for commercial reasons…

It appears in photos…

This is so emblematic of the continuing “will this do..?” culture at Ewood..🤦‍♂️

*Bump* 👀

Wasn’t discussed…but perhaps should have been…😆

The overwhelming emotion I experience these days is resignation to our fate. I can understand fully why so many folks have voted with their feet. It’s really hard to see any positives in a future owned by Venky’s. Loads of fans care but struggle to see how they can influence change. Those that tried are warned off by the club. Only a change of ownership can reignite this club now I fear.

He hasn’t posted since December last year. We can email him on the address we hold if it’s still valid.

I’m with @arbitroon this…the speed of the “about turn” suggests it was anything but, this was a false rumour that was quickly deleted by its originator. If you had revealed something so awful that made the club change its mind - why then delete your post? Wouldn’t you instead claim the victory? “my reveal made them think again…” ? 🤔

Thanks but I think it’s a lot simpler than you paint it. Companies borrow money to buy assets all the time. In the UK we call these mortgages… When a bank lends money it is the loan that is an asset in their books, not the thing purchased with the loan. I simply do not understand how you can claim that Rovers are an investment to anyone other than the shareholders of VLL. What you write about SBI above & how these loans are represented is I’m afraid fanciful… International accounting standards must apply.

It could…but it won’t…start I mean. Not struggle. It will definitely struggle.

Can Rovers blunt the Blades? 👀 Recent Head to Head

Blackie Gray’s cruciate injury might prove to be pivotal…

Thanks Carl…good to know…still a few left…👀

The club’s parent is VLL, a UK registered entity. It has a (very modest) unsecured overdraft from SBI. If V’s decide to sell the club without paying off that overdraft, SBI would simply squeeze the credit lines elsewhere in the group until they got paid. They wouldn’t just shrug their shoulders and go “never mind…” To suggest otherwise I find to be completely incredible…

I get the allusion…but struggle with it; the SBI stuff I simply can’t get my head around 🤷‍♂️

Harchester United & Melchester Rovers ?

Please could you explain, in plain English, how & why the SBI would have to write off debt if Venky’s decide to sell the club. I am struggling to grasp your logic.

There is a Fans Forum thread…👀
