[Archived] Any protests planned for Stoke game then?

[blackburnblue]

I know Manchester United game is Saturday but I don't really think 500 fans hidden away at Old Trafford can do much. I think Stoke is the big one and it will be here before we know it. I have heard lots of suggestions about what we could do to move the protest forward but I haven't heard anything concrete about what is actually happening. Are there any plans because from my point of view despite media sympathy for the donut and universal condemnation of Rovers fans, nothing has actually changed. Venky's are still nowhere to be seen, Keen is still in charge despite failure after failure (judge me in 2011/12, after window closes, after 10 games, after 6 winnable fixtures, after January transfer window, blah, blah, blah), Rovers are still bottom of the league, our star players are being replaced by kids on peanuts, club debt is increasing despite no money being put in to the club, most of Kean's signings can't get in the team, Selgado episode, more Kean claptrap, etc, etc, etc. Stoke and Fulham are our only 2 home games in January. Please can the protest organisers get something in place for the Stoke game because I don't want to see the protest fizzle out when now is the time it should be cranked up. .

Right just informed the club that any action taken by fans it will be unplanned, and in relation to the game.

As you can imagine it didn't go down to well. But hey they asked us to take the organised element away.

All we ask is people stay within the law and do not abuse players.

Any questions please inbox me.

I think it worked better the last two games with it not being organised

[Steve Moss]

Ditto.

Plus it takes Simon and Glen out of the law's sites if things get out of control.

The time for organised protests is over... the Bolton game showed people need no encouragement to get angry.

The club are worried about un-organised protests, good, it does not help that the club broke promises (now there's a surprise, lying owners , lying staff, it all makes sense) on a meeting in return for a truce on organised protests for the previous two home games. One would think people calling the shots down at Ewood have something to hide

They're not really thick enough to believe Glen is behind all this, surely? Is Kean influencing everybody down at Ewood, as well as in Pune?

Needs to be something big that absolutely gets the point across. full scale somehow organised pitch invasion or something as dramatic? Or nothing at all just get behind the team. If we just carry on as we are we will be here forever. Lets either get him out or get behind the team. No more BS this is OUR BLACKBURN

[Jock]

Pitch Invasion is the last one left. Obviously has big risks if we cant get enough to do it.

i think the only way now is to get as many people outside ewood early on before the game and ask people coming into the ground politely if they wouldnt mind staying outside of the ground for the first 5 minutes of the game. the media would pick up on it and it would shock but we need all of the blackburn end lower and or upper tier to do it with the darwin end aswel. theres no way the jack walker or riversiders would do it in such large numbers so wouldnt have the desired effect. after that get in the stadium and sing your hearts out as you enter to show what a difference it would make to the atmosphere. it must be in a controlled manner though. we needs numbers or it wont work.

If you think the Blackburn End is a hotbed of militancy you need to visit the ground on matchdays

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

Like others have said matters now need no organisation,a loss to Stoke and the Ewood crowd will have their say.

Take your banners etc,etc and dont kowtow to their requests but obviously keep within the law.Venky's have done nothing to offer an 'Olive branch' to the fans so sod 'em.

Venkys voodoo dolls
