[Archived] Next protest

[thenonda]

pack all the organized protesting in its silly naive nonsense organized by folks on a massive ego trip, I'm not saying people shouldn't air their feelings, just don't let a hand full of jumped up so called fans tell you how and when to air those feelings.

To the fans protesting, don't let one pr.i.ck tell you what you are doing is silly and naive.

The protests have been very week behaved. That has come from the club. The time when there was no protesting Bolton was by far the worst atmosphere.

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

Just how the hell can any Rovers fan who gives a damn about the welfare of the club sit in silence and not protest at the way our club is being run into the ground?......it defies logic,it beggers belief.

[John]

Samba could be a good recruit for the next protest.

im a lifelong rovers fan(not a rovers protester), i go to games when i can afford it, but i live 5mins walk from ewood so little gets bye me, hope you get what you want out of the protests(whatever you believe that to be).

the bolton game was example the personal chants have happened at the 6 home games ive attended recently

Mods please take away my posting rites as i find it hard to resist trying to see reason in some of the folk on here and only end up antagonising them(there so sensitive).

You are obviously refusing to comment on the fact that the Bolton game outpouring was spontaneous, unoraganised and would have happened whether protests were occurring or not. It was not a protest organised by Glen and Simon. However it was what, at the time, you were asking to happen.

And now you complain.

Totally agree, these digs come everytime we aint got a game, and then take up pages of the forums.

Bottom line is we aint going away, So despite the anti-protesters stance, they are just going to have to live with it, What we are doing we are doing for the right reasons, and I dont think we need to keep having to defend ourselves

Onwards and forwards

If people want to have a Venkys love in they can always go to other Rovers forums and stick their heads in the sand with quite a number of their members

I like the silent protest idea.

Of course it easy for me to say in Aus, but I think it would be effective & thought provoking.

Maybe nufc game might not be best time, but it's worth doing in order to once again publicise our plight.

as has been said, it won't work pal. The majority of the stadium won't observe it so it will be passed by unnoticed.

[Rover_Shaun]

When do we start targeting the Premier League themselves?

[thenodrog]

I really think the question needs asking: What good is a silent protest in the stadium when the owners aren't present and can't feel the effects?

Don't you have a telly in your house et?

However a silent protest would be very difficult to maintain once the match starts. It's no good a few hundred staying quiet is it?

Depends.

If the few hundred create the most noise then it could have an impact.

It also depends how much noise those few hundred can generate at the end of their abstinence.

everyone should take a4 Kean out posters in their pockets, unfold them make paper planes and throw them towards Kean.

No, I couldn't support that, Maj.

The potential for injury to Kean is too great. Papercuts, possible eye damage, slip hazard. The list goes on.

You could just imagine the newspaper stories:

"Evil Rovers fans fire missiles upon dignified Kean as he prays for World Peace"

"Vile East Lancs hooligans hunted after papercuts fatally wound the noble Steve Kean"

"Disgusting Blackburn fans destroy thousands of acres of rainforest threatening the eco-system. Experts confirm Ewood thugs are the underlying reason for global warming"

No, we should stick to KEAN OUT - much safer.

lol sad thing is I actually wouldn't be surprised if any of those headlines graced one of our distinguished newspapers in the event of such an action occurring.

Blackburn Rovers Supporters planned transfer deadline protest -31st January 2012

The BRFC Action group will be holding a static protest against Venky’s at both Ewood Park and at the Brockhall training village on Tuesday 31st January, starting at 9am, with the message ‘Venky’s - sell the club’.

The plan is to run a static protest at BOTH venues SIMULTANEOUSLY from 9am-midnight. This will be a peaceful visual protest and we ask those able to attend either venue to do so where possible.

Wonder whose bright idea that is?,The one day we want to put a good image on for any possible new signings and this is going to happen...

What possible new signings? - Venky's won't spend any money, hence the protests!

We`ll never know now ,it`ll be one look at that lot and they`ll be off lol.

[Mattyblue]

Aye, that's the reason noone will sign for us

[Resigned Rover]

We`ll never know now ,it`ll be one look at that lot and they`ll be off lol.

Or maybe its more likely that they'll look at a club thats owned by a gang of clowns that have no idea what they're doing, have no desire to run the club properly or to fund it.

Or maybe they'll ignore that and look at their would be manager, a guy who's tenure has seen the club narrowly avoid relegation last season and seen them spend the vast majority of this season in the bottom 3.

Wake up and smell the coffee pal, the club is in dissaray and heading for meltdown. Any player willing to overlook all of that is hardly going to be put off by a peaceful protest.

Edit: Sorry just saw the lol at the end of your last post. Apologies if i seemed a tad OTT there. Just the Venky's clowns have a way of winding me up!!!

Didn't stop Stoke signing anyone in august with their bunch of beautiful fans

[braddock]

Usually get a good result when theses happen. Go for it.

Preferably not within the 90 minutes, but I know how hard it is for some of you to contain yourself and think logically after a few or if the scorline doesn't reflect the performance so it's pointless requesting it.

[Mattyblue]

Exactly Braddock, it's pointless, just like the Bolton and City games, the biggest shows of dissent will never be organised.

So, it's about te people stop hand wringing about it and just accept that if it's going to happen, there's nowt anyone can do about it.

If it wasn't for public perception I think protests in the ground would be organised by many on here, so I still think they can do worse.

If you can moan, then so can other people. The protesters continuously complain they are having their 'hands wrung' but none of their protests have been stopped, and the only thing they are facing is dissent, the one thing they are arguing that they themselves should be allowed to do.

So yes, there is nothing people can do, but no, nothing should ever be accepted without discussion. Isn't that what the protesters are trying to generate anyway? Communication etc? If you stir things up (fine by me) don't just attack anything different.

[roverandout]

protests havent done a thing on the whole, i have been to the majority of them and nothing has changed, cant see how we will ever get rid of these clowns
