Just so. He's also lacks the self awareness to comprehend that his OPINION that we've signed at least 6 players who've been above average is exactly that. No more valid or factual than my opinion that we've signed one excellent one and one with potential out of eleven. The only thing you can judge both opinions against though, are fixed metrics like League position. We should storm League 1 next season though with all these supposedly great players.

Imo. At least five out of eleven. A very high percentage. De Neve. Tavares. Forshaw. Henrikssen. Miller. That will become six if Baradji breaks down injured.

Well thank God you respect my comments whilst disagreeing with them! Lol.

In this particular poster's case, it's because he only ever pops up just before and during every transfer window and is never heard from inbetween. He's briefed by the Club imo.

That's not quite correct, you can still pay cash in a supermarket just as you SHOULD still have the CHOICE to pay cash at a football match especially if there's a shit load of availability. Just because something is becoming increasingly prevalent doesnt mean it's right. Dynamic pricing for example. BTW I've had a smart phone and watched You Tube for years. Not the same thing at all. Id rather not use the former to pay for stuff.

Yeah sorry see above. I took your post to mean it was in BB End lower.

Am I imagining things or did the "Family Stand" not use to be a section of JWL? That's where it should be, not in the BBE at all. Edit: Sorry misunderstood your post.

Im bloody surprised that's still up. Good spot. Im amazed a Club Official would be stupid enough to commit to comments like that about the fan base in print even if only on social media. By "The make up of the fan base in NO1" I presume he means predominantly white middle aged working class males without the College education he is referring to. And I assume the behaviour he doesnt like is chanting against the ownership and/or Pasha. As a white male above a certain age and long standing supporter of the Club who thinks the owners record is terrible and they need to be removed, I find those comments completely repugnant - even though I attained the level of education he now deems requisite to be able to sit in the Blackburn End. Ageist, Elitist and overtly racist, all in one fell swoop. Well done. Did one Fans Group or other sit and listen to that at some point? It should have been grounds for summary dismissal imo. Dynamite for the Coalition this.

This. (Plus the Head Coach is a huge downgrade)

Completely free hit today, no-one really expects us to win and there'd be no shame in performing creditably but going down to a narrow defeat, so who knows.

If true, that's a fucking disgrace. Sorry about the bad language, Im an uncouth loyal hardcore older fan. We could do with some proof on this I feel. It does sound feasible, it's the first time I've heard any sort of explanation for the ludicrous decision to raise prices in the BBE (which SHOULD form the seething hotbed of our support) What makes them think younger fans would be flocking to replace the older ones at those prices? Insanity.

My word. Revisiting that thread made for fascinating reading. Quite rightly, absolute uproar and outrage for a "digital day" Cup tie against Cambridge and now digital ticketing and the lack of choice barely causes a raised eyebrow. Extremely sad. Just as now, utter contempt for the fans from the Club in full evidence, even with the recently departed and often lamented St. Steven still on the premises. Not a thread that a certain poster who in it was at the time backing the Club to the hilt at every turn and who claimed to have a built in bullshit detector due to his many years of experience will recall with any fondness now he would appear to have reversed his position on the Club completely.

Yes Fielder sorry. That was the guy I was thinking of. Shook his hand in one of the lounges once.

Oh great - the Club's unofficial PR Department is back to tell us what a great window we're going to have/ are having. If "the jury is out" on Tavares, Henrikssen and De Neve they must have been fast asleep all the way through the trial! Also slightly harsh on TGH, not brilliant, but far from the worst out of the sea of dross signed in summer.

That'd be Yasir Sufi I assume you're talking about. What did he allegedly say?

That was Fraser Reed wasn't it? Allegedly his and Waggott's grand wheeze for the Riverside was to allow it to fall into disrepair to such an extent it would be condemned then try and get a grant for redevelopment.

The "real" crowds are 6-7k because of the situation that's been pertaining at the Club for the last 15 years in general and (at the current levels) the last 12 months in particular. The boycott will bring attention to the cause, put a focus on the overall situation, and as long as there's not a noticeable increase in attendance in protest against the call for a boycott I don' see how anyone can see it as a bad thing or why anyone needs to obsess over bare numbers. There are also organic factors to take into consideration as well. If we lose every game between now and Watford, crowds could get even worse than they are now. If we win every game between now and then they'll undoubtedly perk up a bit. The fairest test on numbers is the difference in attendance between the Watford game and the home game immediately before.

Yes, but calling for an official boycott is hopefully the first stage of that process.

There are truly no lengths you will not go to to defend the indefensible or confuse the situation to try and deflect blame away from the Club.

Incredibly generous ratings imo Alebiosu A Gudjohnssen B Morishita C+ - flattered to deceive Mclaughlin C minus - massive downgrade on Batth Hickmann C - the definition of ordinary Miller F - Shocking defender Tavares F - no obvious redeeming qualities De Neve F - See above Henriksson F - Walking yellow/ red card Ismael - F Worst home record in 150 years. Baradji COULD be anything from A to F depending on a) Whether or not we sign him permanently and b) Whether he turns out to be a star or not. Bah Humbug!

Agreed.

Unless you've suddenly developed remarkable psychic powers you've no way of knowing whether it will be a "non boycott". Also you've painted yourself into such a corner with your view that a boycott "won't work" Im guessing you'll be insisting it hasn't worked unless there's about 50 people in the ground. Anyhow, we're just going round in circles and coming back to the similar points so will leave it there. Merry Christmas.

Exactly.

So you've spoken to a handful of people and are citing that as evidence a boycott "won't work?"

Because, regardless of take up its still getting the issues into the public domain. We get it, you dont think a boycott will have much take up, you've told us nearly as often as chaddy has said he won't be boycotting. We'll have to wait and see.
