Good informative and concise webpage FR

[AndyNeil]

I can't take the credit, it was somebody else on the forum who did all the technical stuff...but I'll pass on your feedback. Is there anything that you'd like to see on, that currently isn't?

[Paul]

A very minor point but I've bought a coffee at the last two games. The quality is much improved and the serving staff in the JW Lower are friendly and polite.

Can you ask at the next meeting with the club about whether Blackburn Rovers are within the FFP rules coming in and are we going to meet the rules without any fines or penalties?

[roversfan99]

Is there any reason why they don't sell all of the items of food in the Darwen End, for example chips or burgers?

[john.leigh]

Can you ask how the club are proposing to create maximum revenue (including alternative income sources), whilst remaining compliant with the FFP requirements.

Can you ask what plans the owners have regarding placing UK based senior executives?

Can we have this answered in terms if short, medium and long time frames?

Also can you pass on my thanks for the backing of Gary Bowyer and the retention of Jordan Rhodes.

[Baz]

Can you ask them to find out Mrs Ds opinion on the further info she requested from the trust.

[T.J.Newton]

Can you ask where Shebbys been buried?

[AndyNeil]

For those who raised the issue of FFP, this will be on the agenda for the next meeting...

[Majiball]

Thanks.

Can we have a whip around on here so that at the next Fans Forum the Forum can present the club with a box full of Royal Blue shorts of assorted sizes? We look like a right rag tag schoolboy outfit when we wear the blue and white shirts with navy shorts.

[SoldierMo]

Can you ask what exactly is wrong with dunn?

[Majiball]

why when I click the link does it take me to the top of the page?

[Stuart]

Can you "right click" and open in a new window?

[only2garners]

the links work fine for me, both from here and on the FF site.

[only2garners]

We've just spotted an error on the minutes. The AOB item on the proposed Fan Zone should read "behind the Blackburn End" and not the Darwen End. The minutes have been corrected on the club website.

Andy - can you change them on the FF site or do you need me to send you a new copy?

[Majiball]

Can you "right click" and open in a new window?

Works fine on my PC but was doing that on my phone, strange.

"5. Match Day Pricing

.....

JW also asked whether it would be possible to introduce a cash turnstile. GC replied that the club were not aware of any demand for a cash turnstile. There had not been huge queues before home games at the ticket office this season. There would also be cost issues in converting existing turnstiles to accept cash."

Whatever next? I despair of this modern world. Folk making up excuses to avoid taking cash!!! Wouldn't have happened in the old days would it?

[Waggy76]

The Venkys would not have happenend in the old days either ...

Bill Fox ,would have seen through them PDQ

[PLJPB]

I see that the non-smoking announcements are now including e-cigs. Looking at the Fans Forum minutes of 16th December it ssems that E-cigs have been banned because of the complaint of ONE fan.

Quote from Fans Forum Minutes - 'After a recent fan complaint it had been decided to ban the use of e-cigarettes in the ground. '

This seems massively draconian and over the top to take this decision without any wider consultation after only one complaint.

Could you please re-raise this at the next meeting as I am sure there will be at least a FEW HUNDRED E-cig users who are now being penalised because of a seemingly knee-jerk reaction to the complaint of one person about a perfectly legal activity?

Thanks

[old darwen blue]

I'm a Vaper myself and disgusted at this. Anything that gets people off cigarettes is to be encouraged. Let's face it if you want a smoke inside the ground just go to the toilets. The stewards don't do much about that! To ban them because one person complained is ridiculous.

Totally wicked who manufacture e cigs in Blackburn are also one of the (few) club sponsors. I wonder if they are aware if this decision?

[Al]

It's just spite to complain about E cigarettes. They don't bother anybody and whoever complained is just trying to spoil other people's pleasure.

Incidentally I don't smoke at all myself.
