[Archived] Season Tickets 2012/13

Well this is my stance for what it's worth.

I will not set foot inside Ewood again until Kean goes. I cannot live in a world where I have no Rovers to watch though so I'll travel to as many away games as humanly possible.

Hopefully many others will do likewise then I can watch Joseph ("If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it") Agnew-Goebbels try to spin his way out of explaining why Rovers have the biggest away following in the league whilst Ewood is empty. Negative reaction to relegation indeed!!

It won't happen though will it?

Sure, plenty saying they will go loads of away games instead of Ewood, but when push comes to shove, they won't bother.

This site seems to have morphed into an anti-BR site.

Perhaps a change of web address to www. A-BRFCS.Com

it isn't anti BRFC most posters are frustrated and angry at what has happened to BRFC since the takeover by Venkys/Kean or whoever

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

Before you attend, remember what to expect. Remember the Bolton and Wigan games. The atmosphere at those games.

Kean will be stood smugly in his box watching us lose again and laughing in face of any Rovers followers who attend.

Kung fu Charlie is now the camp commandant and there will be inevitable clashes between attendees and stewards.

Players who need a contract will be berating people for not supporting the team and booing kean.

No-one will be in Jacks box.

Agnew will be grinning in the stands with the nobend loser. Groucho (has he got a work permit? If so how the hell did he manage that!) will spout the most ridiculously untrue drivel on Radio Rovers, a station of which Goebbels will now be proud.

Chants will be kean out and Venkys out not COYB.

At the end of the game any remaining attendees will be angry, disillusioned and frustrated. Protests will occur but will be quickly put down by the club.

Kean will say in his post match speech (not on Soccer Saturday anymore!) that 99% of the fans are behind him and we were excellent despite losing 2-0 at home to Hull.

Even if Kean leaves, and the chances of that are slim to nil with the current regime of which he is obviously the fulcrum, nothing will change until the hideous owners are ousted.

If 7000 have renewed it shows what short memories many have.

Do you have the stomach to go through this again? I would have if I thought anything I did in the ground would change the owners but it won’t.

Non attendance. It’s the way forward.

Going to be great at Ewood this coming season isn't it folks!

As for the attending only away games theory,one BIG problem...no hiding place from Teflon and his shyte eating grin on the touchline!

[Earlydoors]

Will be much easier to get Protest banners into away grounds

[eddiecolne]

Love the responses about weekend plans. Walks, shopping with the missus etc over live football??

Why don't you go get your eyebrows waxed at the same time!

Nuts..... Get some and get down to Ewood!

Best comment for ages, well said hughesy. If supporting Rovers now is to difficult to cope with,then turn away, some of us are sticking round for the fight.

Local Rival ticket news -

Bolton have now sold, just short of 12,000 season tickets.....with 1 more month to go!

One thing they don't have to contend with though

Living between Bolton and Blackburn normally during the summer I receive leaflets from both clubs plugging their season ticket deals. This year Bolton have blitzed it but nothing at all from Rovers, doesn't matter as I've renewed anyway but surely fringe areas are key battlegrounds for new fans. The most exciting bit of Rovers publicity that came through the door was a grinning Paul Agnew on the back of The Shuttle.

Bolton brochures come with a message from Owen Coyle;

"No team can be truly successful without the backing of you, our supporters. Your backing, this season has been nothing short of fantastic and I want to let you know that everyone at the club appreciates that"

Despite the price differences its clear which club is still in touch with its community.

A point that seems to be totally lost on our cluelerss owners.

My thoughts exactly. Feel like I'd be insulting my own intelligence turning up to watch the freak show at Ewood. Away games though you can disconnect more, ignore Teflon and friends, and just get beind the team.

[Ossydave]

As if Rovers will have a bigger away following than the likes of Leeds, stop talking utter drivel

Hughesy I'm quite sure you would still go if they employed Joseph Stalin as manager.

[Hughesy]

Hughesy I'm quite sure you would still go if they employed Joseph Stalin as manager.

Il go aslong as there is a club to support and aslong as physically possible.

Rovers till I die.....Think about what that actually means.

You can be Rovers till you die without going to games

...as long as there`s an bum hole, Hughesy will continue to nuzzle his brown nose into it.

[MarkBRFC71]

If you look in the dictionary under 'blind loyalty' there's a picture of Hughesy grinning inanely.

[tonygreenbank]

I have to say straightaway that I am amazed that Steve Kean is still our manager. Im sure that most other managers in the leagues would have resigned and bowed out with as much dignity as they could muster.

However, we have to live with the fact that he is here for the Championship. He has made certainly 3 good signings which have surprised a few people on here and elsewhere.

A few posters on here have vowed not to set foot into Ewood next season. Whilst being perfectly understandable on one level I am just wondering what the reaction would be if Kean`s Rovers proved a very strong outfit and earned promotion back to the Premiership. Some would think that most unlikely but it is perfectly feasible as we approach kick off.If promotion were to happen would the absentees have a change of mind and regard Kean as a success? Or would their anti-Kean stance be so entrenched that they would still boycott Ewood?

I`m moving to Cornwall in September and I will attend the home games until then and whenever possible after that. I will miss the match day experience and I do wish the team every success. Im convinced that part of that success is very much down to the part that the fans can play, creating a positive experience for the team.

I am a little dismayed that some fans on here who can add to that experience will be themselves missing from Ewood on match days. Lets at least give the players our support if not the manager in August.

[Waggy76]

I am one of the fans , who will not set foot over the threshfold whilst Kean is the manager ..

I agree , with much of your post, but ask yourself this question .

WHY IS KEAN STILL THE MANAGER ?

In the perfect world , I want us to lose the first 4 games ..Sack Kean and appoint a proper manager .. A la sunderland a few years ago.

I'll be there Hughesy, i completly agree with you. As much as i hate the whole regime, as long as the club is there then so will I be.

Wouldn't care if he won the league and got us promoted - he has been and continues to be unsupportable. I'd be pleased for the team if it happened, but I really don't see it happening so I will almost certainly not find my decision not to attend tested.

I think many would start to wobble!

I'll be honest, at no time over the summer have I even considered that possibility. You think its feasible, I think its nigh on impossible. Our obvious weakness last seaosn was the amount of goals we conceed, what has been done to remedy that? No defenders signed, no defensive coach brought in. If you keep doing the same things wrong, you'll keep getting the same results. Be it against PL teams or Championship teams.

It doesn't mean anything they are just words. Looking after the best interests of something you love often means a sacrifice which many can't find it in them to make.

Maybe so, I'm currently unsure as to whether I'll renew or not as is.

The way I see it is I owe the club nothing, the club owes me nothing and I don't need to justify or prove my support I'll simply go when I feel like it, right now I'm not sure if the enjoyment outweighs the dross endured to make it worth my while.

It's perhaps on over simplified view of it all but that's the way it is for me at present
