What is going on here!! FFS, lets leave it a few months to see wheter there is a conflict of interest. I would rather that we focus on fans and making BRISA work rather than inward looking arguments. Suck it and see how the relationship develops and put some trust in the likes of Glenn who I must thank for getting off his backside and being a doer rather than than moaning from the the sidelines. -

I am some what concerned that some readers believe there is some element of BRISA outdoing or competing against the Fans Forum, this is not the case. BRISA is a totally seperate organisation and will be happy for the FF to coexist. I have been an active Rovers fan for many years and did not, until last month, have any kowledge of the FF never mind how to contact FF members (who are they?) and therefore have my views heard. I hope that the FF continues to flourish, but we must recognise that BRISA is a totally seperate organisation that hopefully will give the "ordinary" fan the opportunity to have a say via a representative organisation that will have a meaningful and informed discussion with the Club. The positive message from the Club is that they want to meet, listen and debate issues with us on a regular basis: to be blunt there is no current BRFC fans organistion that allows the fans to have that say, and I throw out a friendly challenge to any one who can argue otherwise; BRISA intends to fill that gap rather than replace the FF. So to those FF members out there please accept this as a warm welcome to come onboard and work with us on behalf of the fans; BRISA are more than happy to reciprocate and work with like minded fans. -

What a laugh walking from OT after the game. What lovely sad miserable faces. Two American Manc fans behind me (this is true): no1. Those Rovers fans really love us Americans chanting "USA USA USA" no2. Maybe they were being ironic no1. What does that mean? ps. why did the Rovers kid with the Stars and Stripes get chucked out? Was he being sent to the Boardroom?

Who is going? Only sold 1000 tickets by Sunday.

[Archived] Poll - Falling Attendances.
Mike Graham replied to Tris's topic in Football Messageboard Archive
The only good performance at Bolton was the Rovers fans (the few who turned up) who were magnificent. Pity about the game. With entertainment like this we will be lucky to have 18000 home fans agaist the Toon next Sunday. At least if you watch the game on Sky you can switch off or cut the lawn. Some of us had to endure 90 mins of utter crap at The Breezeblock with no alternative but to make our own entertainment hence the magnificent racket from the Rovers fans. -

I went to the Horden's before and after the Spurs game. It was full with many Rovers fans in the front room watching Rovers on the big screen rather than go and watch it live 2 miles down the road. Who can blame them. Also Howard Kendall was on at the Hordens later that evening although he was p****d as usual and made no sense. -

The other big worry is where has the Corporate support gone? No longer any sponsorship of the Family Stand with Rock FM gone along with their programme adverts!! No Orange Man of the Match or adverts again!! 5 Corporate boxes at the BBE empty withou tenants (or was it 6?) rather than the usual one!! At 27K per box plus profits from the booze bills this is a mega loss. Are we in the s**t? -

I couldn't believe the ST holders who were missing yesterday having given up on the Rovers, at least 20 long time blues ST holders have deserted them inthe seats near me in the JW Upper (NO I don't have B O !!); this includes people who have been to a number of away games in recent seasons. Their ST seats have been replaced by those further back in the JW who have moved down to get a better seat. The problem is that they find other interests and no longer turn up to the odd match as walk ons. We really have some desperate issues here with the Rovers support dropping by 2K every season...this threatens our Premiership viability. -

[Archived] 2005/6 Season Ticket Sales
Mike Graham replied to Mike Graham's topic in Football Messageboard Archive
How exactly are we behind PNE when they hadnt even got over the 9 thousand mark for season ticket sales just before the start of the season? And as for Wigan I still don't think they have reached our sale of 13k (if we are 1k behind our total of 14k last season) when it is their biggest season EVER. If we start the season less than a thousand down after the pretty poor fayre served up at Ewood over the last two years we havent done half bad. 338866[/snapback] Figues i've read say PNE and Wigan at 12K plus. We are 11.5K. -

[Archived] 2005/6 Season Ticket Sales
Mike Graham replied to Mike Graham's topic in Football Messageboard Archive
Yeah, just read the article. Around 1000 down actually means OVER 1000 down. I actually find this both bad and sad news and we now have the lowest ST sales in the Premiership including Wigan Pathetic and behind local rivals such as Preston. The article says the figure is made up of approximately 700 adults and 300 children. We need to look at this in the context of season upon season of reducing ST holders and an equivalent reduction in the home gate. The only answer appears to lie on the pitch...the comment I constantly hear is "why go and spend good money watching this crap". -
