It all ties in though BlooBoy for example closing a section of the ground which has at least 5/600 hundred people in it every match to save money and presumably laying off the staff in there. Then redirecting those savings into needlessly a new camera gantry on a whim from those in India.

Come on .............

But the moving of the gantry isnt the root cause of people being laid off though is it ?

Wasted money yes. Would it save jobs where jobs dont exist anymore no.

No, but to try and make people who choose not to fund the Raos debt feel guilty over Ewood staff losing their jobs is, IMV, as low as it gets. There's only one party to blame and that's Venky's - people seem to lose sight of that sometimes.

I dont think anyone on here is trying to make anyone feel guilty by boycotting.

Redundancies are a fact of life in business

Of course, but if you vote one way in an election and your man wins and is a dud your right to complain isn't as strong.

As I said though I'm with the boycotters I could have been one myself but succumbed

I think Baz is right ..moving the gantry is a waste of cash.

My point was that TomPhil was tying the move of the gantry when people were being laid off. Whether the gantry was moved or not,jobs will go with reduced attendances.Thats a fact.

As for spending the money on a paint and clean,im damn sure someone would have kicked up a fuss about spending money on that too! This is where we are at with Blackburn Rovers..damned if do damned if they dont.

All brought about by how the clubs been run for the last 6 years i hasten to add.

Venky's are supposed to be philanthropic billionaires, but it's up to the fans to keep the staff at Ewood in jobs, even if that means getting @#/? on every two weeks? Sure, why not.

So they should just pay staff to stand around in empty stands ..??

Except these plans for the gantry were in motion way before ST's were on sale !

Not wanting an argument Tom but the facts are regardless of spending money on the ground doing whatever is that less people on matchdays will have an impact on jobs in and around the ground.

Just wait until we ve to start shutting whole stands.

You do realise people are getting laid off right ?

Erm that goes with the territory ...people boycotting ..less people required ..?

Removing the top tier we don't need them anymore apparently and won't need them where we are going. Everything has it's price

Never needed them in the first place if we re honest .

They're just going to stick a go-pro on chaddys head and let him do the commentary

(and for an 'alternative' commentary they're going to do the same with Abbey)

What ...Abbey doing his weekly shopping with his missus..?
