75% of BRFCSers not renewing. Granted, this isn’t fully representative of the wider fanbase but the club would be foolish to ignore it.

That fans are not happy to carry on with the existing charade. You say you want to support your club - and believe me I understand the sentiment - but with Venkys we are a shadow of that, and with Mowbray and Waggott we are being steered in the wrong direction. I would love to be part of a club where fans stuck together to protect it rather than watch as it is destroyed. How about a boycott on merchandise until Mowbray is replaced? Do people need overpriced crap-quality football shirts?

Many of those 2,500 will have two or three other tickets as well. We will sell 5000 relatively early but it may be a slog to get the next couple of thousand.

None of us can individually. But collectively we could make a statement. Sadly that’s not how most Rovers fans think...

Agree - especially the bit about young people missing out on a lot. The best years of their lives are being snatched from them for the sake of, let’s be blunt, people who have already had theirs. Elderly and vulnerable people should have been asked to sacrifice some of their freedoms so that those keeping the economy (and their pension funds) going didn’t have to. The money spent on furlough could have paid for them to have gourmet meals delivered every day and free satellite TV and internet!

We cannot continue having lockdowns. It isn’t sustainable. Furlough has made this work (at a very likely considerable expense unless there is an immediate economic bounce). We are going to have to live with this virus at some point. Social distancing measures and not sustainable either. According to the road map, and subject to potentially being delayed, all legal limits on social are to end - at that point it will become common sense. At that point the level of distancing, and even mask wearing, should become a matter of personal choice. Sadly in the modern world of health and safety and litigation, I expect businesses to be overly cautious and insist on masks and a level of distancing - potentially indefinitely. Regardless of manager and owners that would be the end for me. Like Parson, the whole point of live football is the social element. Without that, it becomes a one-way event, little more than a pantomime. Once everyone has been offered the vaccine, it has to be a matter of individual choice. Crowds are needed back as soon as possible.

You don’t need to buy a season ticket to go to games. By not buying one it will make a big statement. Sadly people, even people like yourself who understand in a lot of detail what is happening, will not take a stand. We have the manager we deserve and meanwhile we simply lose fans. Not through a protest or moral stance but through complete apathy.

Would you be prepared to forego buying your season ticket if it put pressure on Mowbray and Waggott to leave?

Why on earth did Kaminski duck?

Never seen Mowbray so animated. Venkys must be watching.

“We are not going to be able to invent 10 games where we can go on an unbeaten run because there are not enough games left.”

Huddersfield have been terrible but some of our football has been really good. Players actually looking up and finding chances for other players. Really is impossible to enjoy it though. What might have been with a manager who could get this kind of performance out of these players.

Nyambe saved a hot-headed Lenihan there.

Aye probably.

We are winning and Mowbray is on his feet angrily barking instructions. Strange that he looks so much more at ease when we are losing.

There should be a fan campaign to boycott any new shirts until Mowbray leaves. It’s no good us all saying there is nothing we can do. There is much that is beyond the reach of fans but things like merchandise sales are very much in the control of fans to be able to show their displeasure. We have so few fans at this point, is it really beyond the realms of possibility for us to stick together on this issue? Or are the majority of fans happy to continue as we are? If so then people need to either get behind Mowbray or walk away. There is no point in whinging and moaning and then carrying on as normal.

Even ignoring Venkys deep resources, he has spent £12m on two players and has not been forced to sell anyone he didn’t want to. The pauper excuse is still on him. Having Mowbray stay on to try to fix this mess is like asking an arsonist to put out his own fire with a bucket of petrol. Why people say no other managers would want to come here is beyond me. Its the lottery-win-job of the EFL!

82% of BRFCS respondents so far NOT planning to renew. More than half because of Mowbray.

It’s frightening how far we’ve fallen, and how much Mowbray is holding us back. When you consider that, according to transfermarkt, we are fifth in the market value stakes, it’s the equivalent of Spurs being relegation near misses in the PL. https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/championship/startseite/wettbewerb/GB2

Early days but not many renewals. I suspect a lot are also still undecided.

Maybe he has moved into real estate?

It felt a bit like a click bait piece to me. Nobody has any really clue what Venkys will do so they try to second guess. I expect it was a well clicked story and generated quite a bit of ad revenue. We would do well to boycott the LT until they start to defend the people of this town against the out-of-town mercenaries taking money out of it - and laughing at us. Even just by asking a few pointed questions. Don’t buy the rag but especially don’t click on the stories and don’t post links until they start acting like a proper newspaper.

It’s that time of year again. But this time with the added twist of (for a second time in our history) feeling as though the manager is not held to the same account as the rest of football and that results, performance and even fans do not matter. The online opinions of fans (without any real visible protests), and subsequent media back lash can stop a multi-billion pound soccer league from forming. But fans are an irrelevance - and inconvenience even - at Rovers. BCD football is very welcome at Ewood. But I digress. Back to the poll, anonymous so as to avoid peer pressure...

Right at the bottom, hidden behind this Was this... Respectful, not a single swear word, and even garnered an equal response (fair play Bennett) but presumably censored because someone with clueless individual (probably an LT commenter) took offence. Twitter is utterly toxic and the sooner governments and big companies stop treating the poisonous swamp as though it represents public opinion the better.

Interesting isn’t it. If we stay up with 50 points Mowbray will even be able to spin relegation with 51 points as sheer bad luck, further elevating his legendary status. “Best manager since Dalglish”. Even Kenny didn’t have his own flag. Heck, neither did Kean!
