  1. Just shows how terrified they are of Dolan.
  2. Great tackle by JRC.
  3. He has definitely been the difference.
  4. Just think if we had signed Dolan in January...
  5. Me too! Header there too!
  6. Brereton being Brereton will certainly keep our feet on the ground.
  7. The way he kept that down!
  8. No way!!! Hahahah!!
  9. Into the play-off places!!
  10. Now that is a hit!
  11. Just waiting for Neil to confirm the goal. Give it a minute or so.
  12. Sshhh! It’s all the player’s fault. Didn’t you get the fax?
  13. Rovers charm offensive with fans continues. All stick and no carrot. https://www.rovers.co.uk/news/2020/september/dont-illegally-stream-support-your-team/
  14. Waggott intervening in the EFL initiative that is iFollow would be a very very bad move. It would demonstrate a level of callousness, nay, hatred towards casual fans that would make the Waggott Tax on walk-on tickets look like a discount. The death knell of thousands of renewals next season. He would have to be a simpleton of epic proportions to do so.
  15. If I don’t think about Waggott’s ST strategy, yes, good thanks.
  16. Email from the club today: ”As a valued Season Ticket Holder last season, we have adapted our package to ensure watching Rovers is as fair and safe as possible for everyone in what we know are uncertain times.” Patronising AF. And I only have one week to take them up on this generous offer. That’s how valued I am. Steve Kean Decimating our team - Ryan Nelsen in traction Relegation Shebby Singh and the Aggers and Shelvey pantomime Selling off our best players while promising to “absolutely honour the legacy of Jack Walker” Stagnation and regression disguised as stability under Bowyer - having blown our best chance with negative, ambitionless football Jason Lowe as captain of this club Owen Fucking Coyle and the Burnley fans’ wet dream of ruining us A second relegation to the third tier The manager ‘recommending’ his pal from his previous club - a third tier outfit where both failed - as the next CEO Promotion but with another price hike (season ticket holders weren’t as valued then obviously). More “stability” The unsackable manager despite the club’s worst EVER run of form The CEO allegedly (and I believe the poster who said he heard it first hand) saying that the only way Mowbray is leaving is by his own volition. “Defenders are coming” but they’ll be on the bench for a few weeks while they re-learn how to play football (if they don’t choose PNE first). No STs available with a narrative that it’s because they don’t want to be unfair to fans. A last minute change of tack, a price increase and a guilt trip. And now, not only not having a rethink but doubling down on pursuing fans to take up this very poor offer under the pretence that it’s a great deal and that if I don't it will harn the club. Every Summer I’ve renewed. This Summer I feel that we have all been lied to and treated like fools happy to be parted with their money. Enough is enough. I wonder what the tipping point is for other fans. No discount next season? Or will people just “understand” and hand over their money. Tell you what Steve: Leave or at the very least take a pay cut. I’ll renew as soon as you do. #arewetogether
  17. Shameless. We are being run like a community-funded club, in the third tier, in the 80s. If we didn’t have Venkys taking the piss and an administrator on £300k it would be fair enough. £300k... most Blackburn folk would have to work about 10-15 years to earn that! Absolutely shameless.
  18. The 100 club were asked to stump up for a club bus? Please tell me thats satire. Venkys do realise they said the would honour the club that Jack built and not the one he bought, right? Billionaire owners have turned a proud club into a begging bowl!
  19. The problem with any so-called incentives is that I no longer trust Waggott at his word. He has had opportunities to do the right thing instead of only saying the right thing (when put on the spot), and keeps letting us down. What will it take for him to renege on the latest ‘jam tomorra’ offer of next season’s discount? “Circumstances beyond the control of the club”? We had the Welcome-to-the-Championship-thanks-for-standing-by-us price hike - ignoring the opportunity that the Oxford game showed. A great early bird offer (with them actually on sale!) would have increased uptake significantly. We had the non-offer that was the £10k prize, £350-a-turn, raffle-that-never-was. A joke of an ‘incentive’. We had the Summer’s don’t-ask-for-refunds promise, with a commensurate discount on 20/21 STs that turned into not only no discount but became a huge price increase - blamed on, guess what, “circumstances beyond the club’s control”. These all make the erstwhile and long-forgotten “Promotion Promise” seem sincere! It’s always something in the future as long as you pay. Next season will see further price rises to offset the discount. They talk about loyalty and about the club being in need, yet despite losing money every year, despite failure on the pitch every year, despite a fall in season ticket holders every year, everyone gets to keep their very well paid jobs under the banner of “Steady Progress”. All this against a backdrop of the stadium Jack built being locked up and allowed to turn green with mold and a club shop not opening - presumably because its too much hassle/cost to make it Covid safe despite it being very easy to do so - and us reaching the end of a three year cycle and reset of half of the playing staff while our defence is still of League One standard. The Wycombe game happened at a great time by the way. I absolutely want to give my money to the club but I do not want to support the current CEO (whoever it really is) in what they are doing: taking more money each year for failure and blaming fans, while charging them more money and emotionally blackmailing them for the privilege. Loyalty is never rewarded retrospectively and there is no attempt to lure in new fans. Only a take it or leave it offer which the FF have not had a say in (bad) or that they endorse (worse). Hold them to ransom, taken the piss, pull at the heart strings, rinse, repeat.
  20. It is for a company alienating it’s customers, losing money and in debt ten times its turnover and getting worse each year.
  21. Go back and look at Venkys share price before they bought Rovers. They owe us not the other way around. And that’s before we get into what they have done to our club.
  22. Lol Stop being so negative! Show me a company that didn’t have a sharp drop in March. First global lockdown. Since then they have recovered during a pandemic. They need to stop pretending Venkys are skint, it’s just insulting to people.
  23. So an upward trend. Cheers Chaddy.
