[Archived] Rumour: Venky's To Sell?

[UtopianParadigm]

Is anybody else thinking of canceling their season ticket

How can you? I live far from Ewood (3 or 4 hour train ride) and can't afford to get up for many games at all. Think yourself lucky.

Talk about dejavu, I thought I was losing my marbles when I started to read BomBom's post.

Unfriended for the lack of originality

Half of it was yes, by my "partner in crime". It hadnt been posted over here, so thought I would do that while updating it at same time.

Sorry to have taken 60 seconds of your life away that you will never get back! LOL

[Bennisfromheaven]

I am taking alot of these claims seriously especially the stuff that Nicko has confirmed

However, there are very strange things happening on this site recently

There is info floating around very freely lately 7 has happened all of a sudden

Why are so many people "in the know" now,

they couldnt tell us anything 6 weeks ago when Venkys were supposed to be more susceptible to leaks!?!?

As I said, I am taking these claims seriously but there are definitely people on here that are not what they claim to be!!

[patrickvalery]

I wonder if Mr Flog It is coming in to sell some of those who refused the India trip? From what we here about Mrs Desai, she doesn't appreciate people who don't toe the line.

[PAFELL]

Is this opinion or from "sources"

Its rubbish

ollsen.. wenger is sniffing.

samba.. probably

robbo.. probably

junior.. january ????

I suggest you check your sources.

It has been posted over here, a few times actually. The moderators removed it though I believe because the poster added a link back to the original poster - to the rival forum, crazy I know

Don't worry about it.

Join the dots.

IMO the only thing that has happened (since the 50m claim) is that all leaks have been severed.

No information = make up loads of stuff

I don't think he will.

Huh, we did no such thing for no such reason.

We're more more likely to remove it for NOT including a link back (or if we thought there were copyright implications).

Ive made the decision not to renew mine. I go to games to be entertained and considering the way the club is heading at the moment I would rather take my kids to do something they enjoy on a Saturday than dragging them along to watch the team lose week in week out.

She'll have a very empty Ewood on her hands pretty soon then.

It's becoming increasingly clear that this lot are coming up with more and more ingenious ways of asset stripping our beloved Rovers by playing the "daft foreigner" and there's nothing we can do about it.

[Wendal]

A good first step would be to prove to fans that the info is correct, so that more people would stand behind it. Then talk to some friends that support Liverpool, and learn from them.

I echo this sentiment.

Rather then ranting behind our monitors we should be looking at what actions we can take to ensure the owners are held accountable for their past, present and future administration of the club.

That in my view is not supporting a football club - but self indulgence.

I was born in Blackburn, therefore they are the club I support. No matter the divsion they are in.

Win, lose or draw I support Blackburn Rovers.

When I attend matches I go there to support the team that is playing and representing the club I support.

No matter who is in the team at the time, I support them, I want the best result for the club.

The entertainment was knowing Burnley got relagated and are not in the prem this coming season.

Ah yes, the sage man who backed Ince, backed Kean and is currently the lone fool backing Venky's.

What does sand taste like?

[promoted2001]

Haha! Balaji has got to be Gob. Mrs D is probably Lucille. I can see Venkatesh being a Never Nude... We don't have a Michael Bluth, though. I think the closest we might have had was John Williams. I can imagine his exasperation at the family's incompetence being simila to Michael's. A cracking - yet scarily accurate - observation.

Kean is totally a Buster

Having swapped polite PMs with teacup, it seems it may have been posted in the transfer thread, where admittedly we are removing anything not strictly related to transfers. So, it may have been posted and removed, but only for being off topic is a massively high traffic area, rather than because it originated on Vital and/or linked to them.

[Henwah]

Not particularly high traffic of late mind :-/ think the sheer volume of contradictory rumours have desensitised the majority - to the point of apathy

Should almost all the posts in the transfer thread not be removed considering we currently don't even have transfer targets yet.

Where have your plus and minus buttons gone?

At last count there were around 40 entire pages of removed posts in that thread .... so they almost all are

Where have your plus and minus buttons gone?

Whilst not a question for this thread (and yes, neither was my last reply) ... bottom right, where they've always been, or at least they are for me.

Oh, I see what you mean, I don't have them, I've never noticed it before (but I did notice I always had zero rep and though it was just that my posts were dull)

What's this rep you speak of? How can I see mine?! I think peer-controlled validation for my spoutings is the only thing that could save me from the tedium of the past few weeks. Or is it better that I don't know?

It's hidden to mere mortals these days as it turned into a p*ssing contest. Now only posts can be voted up and down, not people.

Erm ... anyway .... venkys, takeovers etc (before I have to remove my own posts for being off topic)

[Henwah]

Starting to think this current increase in the number of rumours, coming from all angles with alleged 'sources', is all part of the mole-hunt that was alluded to when the infamous £45/50m 'list' was scrapped.

Seems a bit suss to me that we only had 2/3 members with frequently reliable info, until the exact time it was suggested that Venkys were kicking up a fuss about leaks. Now nearly every bloomin member on here seems to have more insider info than the NoTW probably had on people!

[pick32]

I just cant seem to justify to myself how getting a family season ticket would benefit if i go home in a bad mood every Saturday when the money could be spent on my family having days out every weekend and actually enjoying themselves, its not a decision i have taken lightly. I've renewed my season ticket for the past 6 years. Its not like im turning my back on the club I will always be a rovers supporter and you can bet i will have one eye on score center on my phone when im out on a Saturday.

So if putting my family before Rovers is self indulgence then im guilty as charged
