I think we’ll lock this before it turns into a list of members…😆

Total boycotts will never, ever happen, so zero point banging on about it. A core just want to watch a game of football involving 11 lads in a blue and white shirt every other week and that’s that.
A boycott of sorts has happened already. We have gone from c20,000 ST holders to at times under 7,000 on their watch and they haven’t batted an eye lid.
13 years and folk still treat them like normal owners.
What happens after the court case on 12th March is crucial.

If someone is prepared to take Wrexham on I am certain there are prospective buyers out there
The irony is…the lower down the leagues we go, the cheaper the price…the more attractive we become as a resurrection project…

Gregg keeping a low profile since the latest debacle.
Wonder when he'll re-appear to weave some more spin?

How much do you think it would cost to Buy Rovers(including the training ground) and run it for the first year? 60 to 70 million pounds?
Commercial operations at Rovers isn't good enough and we should be able to get a better and more lucrative shirt sponsors surely?
WBA have just changed hands for £60m (for an 88% stake) so that sets a benchmark I guess.
Their recent history & prospects are better than ours currently are e.g. their attendances are higher, league position - so I’d imagine Rovers would bring in less than that sum - but the devil is in the detail of any deal…Running costs ? It would take a while to start to increase any income, costs would rise in the short term if new players were brought in & stadium improvements/investments made…add another £20m to that for year one…? 🤔

That narrative needs to be sung loudly, which is a widely helf belief among both fans and media. That is, the idea that whoever would buy us would have to stump up £200m is a myth. The Rao's would have to absorb that figure (if indeed that often quoted figure is correct in the first place.) Happy to be corrected.
Look at the example of Mel Morris at Derby…

40 minutes ago, Blue and White Blues said:So what physical assets does the club actually own? I've read that they did a financial slight of hand where the practice facility was sold and is leased back to the club. I presume some other slice of the Rao empire now owns the practice facility? Who owns Ewood? As a business, revenue comes from ticket sales, television revenue, and sponsorships like Totally Wicked. There's a bit of revenue from RoversTV subscriptions and RoversStore kit. I'm trying to understand why anyone would buy the club since the payroll and operating cost is less than the revenue.
The club owns Ewood & player registrations.
Someone buying Rovers would do it for similar reasons one imagines to the new owners of Bolton, Wigan, Hull, Sunderland, Birmingham, WBA etc & so on.
These reasons could include one or all of a genuine belief that they could get Rovers to the PL, a desire to own an historic club as a status symbol, a wish to have a say in the running of English football, a vanity project, an emotional local connection…
How do you become a multi millionaire by owning a football club ?
Start as a billionaire. 😆

Agreed. The repayment schedule is entirely down to negotiation between the two clubs. It’s been widely reported that it’s three instalments but in reality only the signatories know for certain.
