  1. Well done to the tennis ball throwers. Well done for informing the BBC, they knew straight away the significance of throwing them on in the 14th minute. Pity there weren’t a few hundred balls on the pitch and scores of ‘supporters’ getting involved instead of a paltry handful. It’s a start, though and hopefully a sign of more action in an attempt to rid the club of the twats thousands of miles away.
  2. He posts on roversfans.com (thenodrog’s lot). On their Venky’s thread, he’s posted letters to the FA (from back in the day) outlining a whole variety of dodgy dealings.
  3. Exactly. For those also pointing the finger at Broughton, he could well be caught up in all the shenanigans. It wouldn’t surprise me at all if, once again, this is Waggott’s doing and Waggott’s alone. He’ll come out smelling of roses and the others will be the sacrificial lambs. Broughton may well be being told to keep quiet and he strikes me as the sort of bloke who may not have the balls to quit. Fucking shit show.
  4. Well, that’s the incentive for everyone to collectively pull together to rid the club of the vermin. Be that those in India or the useless shower of sh!t left ‘in charge’ at this end. It can be done. We’ve roughly six months to do it.
  5. Haven’t posted on here for a long, long time but still visit almost daily for info and to see what’s going on. In order to orchestrate a successful protest, first of all, the masses need to know what really went on from the moment Venky’s took control of the club. By masses, I mean at least 95% of the support. We need to get the ‘Facebook brigade’ on side, so every supporter is singing from the same hymn sheet. We need the average Joe to know the full facts, the sort of supporter who simply rocks up at Ewood every second week and who doesn’t do Facebook and the other socials. We don’t want any factions or splits in the fan base. We all need to be fighting this together. To this end, I would crowd fund a booklet or pamphlet to be distributed before a forthcoming home game which would outline, in bullet points and in a timeline, the absolute sh!t show that has taken place since day one. I am not privy to everything that has happened but I have grasped plenty of the shenanigans by simply tuning in on here. The fact that Venky’s thought there was no relegation, Jerome Anderson and his band of merry men effectively having full control of the club for a period of time, the dozen or so unknown Portuguese players who arrived and then departed, agents fees etc., the threats of violence to Glen (and no doubt others), the alleged Glasgow gangsters, the purchase monies for BRFC back in 2010 being traced to a branch of Western Union in Bradford (for fuck’s sake), Steve Kean’s involvement, the fans’ delegation that went to the Football Association to seek help and which fell on deaf ears, right up to Venky’s current problems with the authorities in India and alleged fraudulent affairs. There will be plenty of stuff that I’ve forgotten about but, all of this and more, needs to be highlighted in the booklet or similar publication. Perhaps also, a Facebook page being set up to mirror the said booklet, plus a pinned thread on here with the same information. An advert in the Lancashire Telegraph outlining the booklet to be distributed before a home game. Talks at local working mens clubs to get the message across with Colin Hendry as an ambassador. Would Chris Sutton get involved? He talks sense and tells it as it is. There’s absolutely loads that could be done to get the message across and to get all our support onside. The Venky’s need to be smoked out. They need to be shamed. They need to be embarrassed. They need to leave and they need to be told to put the club up for sale. That’s the way to go, rather than Administration. To draw attention to our plight, Tony’s suggestion of whistles at the Newcastle game is superb. Wouldn’t need many to get involved in that. Just a few in three of the four stands. Couple that with tennis balls on the pitch and it would be a start. I’m nearer 70 than 60 now. Venky’s have worn me out and I only attend a few games each season. I doubt I’ll ever see the Rovers back in the Premier League. Over to some younger blood to implement the above. Best of luck. VENKY’S OUT! WAGGOTT OUT! IT’S OUR CLUB!
  6. I’ve seen better players up at Blacksnape. I don’t mean in the Darwen League. I mean top class at junior school.
  7. I have a read on the ‘other site’ now and again and there is a great post by Dunnfc, in response to the initial poor home ticket sales for the Forest game. The post is on the first page of the Forest thread. A while ago, he wrote to Waggott with a whole host of very good suggestions to boost ticket sales for home games. Discounts, offers and, importantly, re engaging with local companies who had previously been involved with sponsorship etc down at Ewood. Also getting additional local companies on board. A really good post and some thought provoking ideas. Waggott never responded. Sums the guy up no end and reiterates comments made on both this and the season tickets thread (on here) that the hierarchy within the club have no intention of even attempting to grow the fan base. They’re a complete waste of space. Have a read, it’s well worth it.
  8. I have an alternative name for the Season Ticket thread. I call it (like plenty of others, actually) the Chaddy Show.
  9. I’m going for a Norwich win by 3-0 but, such is the nature of Rovers’ bipolar results, it wouldn’t surprise me at all if we, at the very least, avoided defeat. That said, I can feel a death spiral is about to gain momentum.
  10. In third position and already lost ten games in early-mid December and with a negative goal difference. We’re in a false position. We never win when we go a goal behind and have no plan b, let alone plan a. The only player we have that can score is stuck out on the left wing. There is no balance in the team. No leader and very little experience. Boys against men most weeks. Two games running that our defence has been bullied by over the hill has beens. I would go four at the back and get Diaz in the middle where he can be more of a threat. 4231 or a variation of that. That won’t happen, though, with this mon in charge.
  11. They were in town, sporadically, until the snowball incident, so not quite true. It was a figure of speech, though, but you knew that.
  12. Thank God that my son is in Qatar for the England game, or I would have been at Ewood. As it was, I simply turned the tv off at 2-0.
  13. Quite right. Where are the youth of the town? Back in the 70s, Venky’s would have been run out of town. In 2012, there were a few demonstrations, nothing really to write home about and now, there is total apathy. Swag will be pissing his sides. The general dumbing down of the club and fans, back to a more manageable level (where he has to do even less than the fuck all he did before) and then on again to scaling down the facilities, a la Brockhall.
  14. More fannying around at the back and Preston almost in for a third goal.
