[Archived] Meeting with Minister of sport and premier league

[glen9mullan]

RE: the allegations which are currently without documentary proof, do the FA/PL/Governmt have the power to demand answers if they ask a straight question of any of the parties involved?

For instance, could they insist on JA answering the questions on Glen's letter if it was part of their investigation?

(whereas he can easily just ignore supporters asking the questions)

The stuff without documents are quite alarming, problem is as many things are conducted in India , it makes it near impossible to have this sort of stuff on a document. However the rules are clear with the Prem and FA, and the stuff they have with testament IMO shows a clear breaking of rules. It will be upto them to decide which rules have been broken and the severity of any punishment if they rule in favour of the evidence

Are you expecting the PL to speak to the Football League ahead of them meeting/speaking to the owners before granting permission for us to play in the Championship? You'd hope that the FL could ask a few of the difficult questions at that time.

The football league has told us, they will meet with the club, and then after that meeting they will then meet with us. The Prem, FA and Goverment will be keeping Football league in the loop

Good stuff Glen

Have a break from it this weekend with your family!

[beatrix]

Aren't you the same joker who slammed fans for not blindly renewing season tickets? You're in no position to talk about "churlish".

No one's criticizing Glen's cause, they're highlighting the fact that letter reads unprofessionally, which is something that has needed addressing for awhile regarding BRAG's correspondence.

I didnt slam fans for not renewing as you put it , nor am I a joker. If you care to look at what I did say you will find that I said fans

should not be criticised whichever way they go, it is personal choice. In an ideal world everyone would have your immaculate grasp of

english literature but bearing in mind glens recent loss it is perhaps understandable, and not the most important thing on his mind right

now.

The formal spelling of no one is without a hyphen.

I stand corrected, sir.

Who do you think they will meet with from the club ? Will it be Paul Agnew ?

Dude, you questioned the fans loyalty and said they were using relegation as an excuse not to renew.

Just stop before you embarrass yourself any further.

stick to your mild pornography

[Fife Rover]

Very sorry to hear that. RIP.

I'm sure she was very proud of your work for the whole community of Blackburn and those around the world who love(d) the club. Whatever the outcome, you've shown your grit.

+1,000,000

[winstonsmith]

I would join the action group but whilst the person who was sat near me at the Wigan game is part of there group I dont want anything to do with it

Why, because he misused hyphens ?

[broadsword]

No need to get hyphenventilated about it.

[thenodrog]

Gav's right!

Does that reply constitute a touch of jealousy .... or is it a job application?

[thenodrog]

Voted for Kean to stay about half way through the season because I thought he'd drag us out of it. Never imagined us going down. I'll admit I was wrong. I still don't think the protests helped though and I'll always be adamant on that.

Stop trying to rescue a shred of self esteem. Being wrong once is obviously not enough, your last sentence tells me that you are content to make a habit out of it.

btw.... What on earth possessed you to think Kean would drag us out of it when it was him who bloody well dragged us into it?

Sporting Intelligence view and copy of letter sent to Mr Anderson

Quote "On Wednesday, the Action Group met in Westminster with lifelong Rovers fan and local MP, Jack Straw"

Lifelong??? Someone's getting carried away here. Jack Straw only became a Blackburn fan when he was into his 30's. In fact just about the time that Mrs Thatcher rose to the throne.

The word hyphen has a hy-phen

First I've heard about it.

Fixed it for you.

My little girl turned 7 today and all she wanted for her birthday was to go and watch Rovers for the first time with her dad (I tried explaining that the season was over but that didn't deter her). 2 years ago I would've been straight on the phone to get her a ST for next season. At the moment I don't even want to buy her a ticket for the first home game next season!

This highlights the damage being done by these utter ar$eholes! It's not just the present being damaged, it's the future! She, and many others are the future fans of this club and when their parents are reluctant to take them along to Ewood, the club is terminally ill.

I've shielded her all her life from following her mum's team, so come on PL, FA, FL and anyone else, help rid us of this scum before she defects to Manure!

Perhaps you can take her to some of the summer friendlies? Anything to avoid your daughter becoming a ManU fan. Otherwise, I think that might be considered child neglect.

Fair comment, not a bad idea abot the pre-season friendlies. You can understand where I'm coming from though, it's not just the fact I can't bear the thought of putting another penny in Wankys pockets (or wherever it ends up), it's the atmosphere. I want her to enjoy her first match, not suffer a cauldren of hatred.

Mind you, there'll probably be just the two of us sat there anyway!

Jack's in his 60s I think he's clocked up 30 years' service which isn't bad for a lad from Leytonstone, Essex. Met him couple of times and he would rather talk about Rovers than anything else. Struck me as a proper football fan because he was always a pessimist ! Basically, he's as Rovers daft as anyone.

I agree Thatcher rose to the throne...the one upstairs in one of your 4 loos. Then she flushed the country down the toilet......

It was already down the pan. She had the balls to get her hands dirty to clear the blockage.

The only 3 Friendlies mentioned on the club website are all Away games [2 at the Crown Ground; 1 in Rochdale] so, by going to them, you also wouldn't be giving money to Rovers.

There's also the FC United Friendly - take her to that and hopefully you could reinforce the anti-Manure message!

How can you talk about one of Rovers' honorary Vice Presidents that way?

There's an old saying in Lancashire- " If the cap fits, wear it " . She did more damage to this country than Hitler could ever dream about.

Well sounds like Anthony Bloch (club sec) has been fired.. soon there will not be anything of Rovers to save..

Your judgement is pretty awful really and you still haven't learned. Replaced

Kean when you and others were supporting him and we'd have stayed up.

Kean will only be sacked when the owners want, pretty obvious they don't care a jot about the fans feelings in this. Whatever his opinion you can't blame dubdubdub that we got relegated.
