WON THE CUP 3 TIMES ON THE RUN~

CHAMPIONS OF DIVISION ONE

DIVISION 3 DIDN'T BOTHER ME

WE ARE THE BLACKBURN (BOOT BOYS) ROVERS

First to win the cup three times on the run

[roverandout]

Haven't I already addressed these issues and give my views on this.

Please refer to these comments/posts.

I wont be walking away on my club. I thought about it but I didn't and I wont.

if you are then that's your choice but don't start having moans and go's at me for attending games and supporting my club Blackburn Rovers Football club!

Sorry chaddy, you are a buckin hypocrite

[Billinge End Blue]

There is some contention that The Wanderers (appropriately if ironically also nicknamed the Rovers) also won the FA Cup 3 times consecutively back in the 19th century but their fans (if they exist) aren't cocky enough to challenge BRFC's evident historical superiority.

[i have not even met Owen Coyle at all yet

Superfan and a turncoat. You was calling Wee Coyley shyte last week

[47er]

Its nothing to do with being a super fan. its due I want to support my club and nothing more. let's me just say this again its nothing to do with being a super fan

I respect anyone who want to boycott but its totally and utter unjustified to start having moans and go's at fans who want to attend games. if you don't want attend games then fine, no problems!

​also stop making comments like your mate fat jocks mate is in charge? I have not even met Owen Coyle at all yet. so please explain this comment?

​

Embrassing? really???

Chaddy there is nothing wrong with your first 2 paragraphs. If that's your view then fine BUT STICK TO IT!

You cause the problems by continually changing your mind as if last week never happened.

This made my chuckle today in the LET...

Coyle tells Rovers fans to put his Burnley past to one side and get behind the team.

The truth is Owen cocker most Rovers fans just don't think your good enough to manage this club.

Spin doctors active here I think.

Portray us as neandertiles who just oppose the appointment out of hatred for Burnley. Puts the heat right back on us.

If anyone really wanted to test that absurd theory then give us Dyche! I'd be ecstatic!

Even Oyston didn't want to deal with his agent when the deal for coyle to manage Blackpool was nearly done a couple of years ago.

Who is the agent again?

Daily Mail...but doesn't say who the agent was...

"Coyle, who is understood to have previously rejected the Blackpool job twice before, was in line to take the job.

However, it is believed that an agent has become involved in the deal and a source close to the club has indicated that Oyston, who traditionally refuses to pay representatives, has now become unhappy.".....

[dingles staying down 4ever]

Boycott / smoycott! It has become a chore or obligation going down to Ewood Park these last few years. It is nothing to do with our ambition or league position, just Venky's drain on our pride and hope and identity. Owen Coyle may be a local sound sober Catholic geezer but in the current miasma around BRFC no one can trust him. The fact that he once vouched for Steve Kean against the Rovers fan base has damned him eternally as far as I'm cocerned. I have not been involved in the recent 'Twitterstorm' but can't abide what is going on....away games for me next season, not the Riverside.

I agree it has become an obligation/chor to go........but sad to say isn't that the duty of a football fan to go when things aren't good?

Hmmm, this is the way I see boycotting.

After calming down I told my lad today all about rovers new manager (he was 6 last week but is pretty switched on about footy for his age), he got pretty excited and his big, innocent 6 year old eyes just looked up at me and said "well daddy if he can get rubbish like burnley to the premier league maybe he can for Rovers".

I won't be getting a season ticket next year, but I'll be going on when I can just for him mainly as he just loves it, he came off ewood last season after such games as hull, preston & west ham (he did see a few wins too!) and genuinely just loved watching the games, and never stops going on about what he has seen, win lose or draw.

I'm not bothered what folk on here think of me for going as no way am I denying him going to games, and I'll be damned if I'm taking him elsewhere for his live fix.

Aslong as Blackburn Rovers are playing at Ewood Park and my son is enjoying it, then I'll attend when ever I can.

Venkys out, RTID.

Exactly as it should be.....my dad took me when Rovers were tumbling down the old third division.

Fantastic sentiments mate. Similar feelings behind my decision to go with my dad. Hopefully you won't be told to 'grow a pair' by know-nowts, mind.

Family and Rovers will always be there.

and now it's my turn....just like Mike I go because it's about me and my dad doing something we've always done together.

I'm torn because just like Billinge End Blue my head tells me enough is enough but just like Mike and Mark, Rovers is more important, it's a family club. If the families stop going the club dies. Venky's, Anderson are all cancers that need removing but the supporters are the living soul. Remove the soul everything dies.

The cancer needs removing but NOT at the expense of the one thing that keeps the club going.

BTW,

Abbey and Chaddy - two extremes of the reason why I've stopped coming on here regularly. Shame that everytime I come on here each thread descends into them two calling each other names then others gather round.

Shut up and ignore it then . Another with keyboard bravery

I've no problem with your decision to attend, nor the decision of anyone to stay away. Of the couple of hundred people posting on and reading this messageboard, everyone of them cares about Blackburn Rovers - or they wouldn't still be hanging around.

However, the current situation is tearing our fanbase into three (again): the clappers, the protesters and the done. Unfortunately the clappers (who believe it is still their club) and the boycotters (who believe it isn't) are becoming the minority, as more people walk away forever. They may say they are boycotting but in reality they are gone.

Making smug comments, on a fan messageboard comprised of both remaining passionate groups, about being a diehard is only going to antagonise, especially when only a few days ago your position was much different.

Parson has never suggested that he will quit. Every time you look like being honest about your real feelings, as soon as the dust settles, you look to Parson and pretend you are like him. Please, please be yourself. People still won't agree with a lot of what you say but they will have a lot more respect for you.

I'm sure you will take offence at this post I'm not trying to patronise but I'm genuinely trying to reach out and help you.

There's a a fourth and without doubt majority group including me who will always attend matches because we will always support the team. We were supporting the team long before Venky's arrived and we will be supporting the team long after they've gone. However we also recognise the damage Venkys have done to the club. That doesn't make us "clappers" or some other silly label but pragmatists who regard staying away as damaging the club in the long term.

Every credit, but you won't be in a majority group much longer.

[47er]

Whatever fans like Jim believe people should do,thousands of Rovers fans have walked away over the last 5+ years and thousands more will follow after what we have just been through and what we are about to go through.

Doesn't need organisation or publicity, it just happens.

The club is dying. Suppose Venkys continue to refuse to sell?

Are you going to spend the rest of your life watching us sink lower and lower?

[T J Hooker]

you have to take into account the 1000s that have left simply due to dropping out of the premier league, these are the ultimate fair weather fans and biggest embarrassment, no doubt they'd be back if we where promoted(regardless of who owns, manages and runs the club)

[tomphil]

The main point is the 10/12k who've stuck with it are set to be seriously decimated next season no doubt. Once they start turning their backs that should have alarm bells ringing from Blackburn via Barnet, Zurich and wherever else all the way back to Pune, but it won't.

The loose change off Hanleys sale will cover it, no one gives a @#/? and the slow death continues. An awful season looming up with an awful goon in the dugout offered up as the latest fall guy.

Corrupt lying Indian & Agent stakeholders OUT NOW !

[Mattyblue]

Interesting reading arbito's post about how lots of long term fans he knows are now going to boycott.

I was at a do with a load of long term Rovers fans yesterday, nobody was impressed in the least by OC and despise these owners, but it wasn't even brought up that not renewing was an option.

They aren't 'Rovers Fans' or 'SuperFans', just supporters who see this as a dark time, but will be there all the same.

Each to their own, no problem for me. However for me it is the tougher decision of the two not to go. Come August I will no doubt have a strange feeling but I am determined to see this one through come what may.

They didn't leave in big numbers after relegation last time did they?

Still something to believe in then.

Our opening day attendance in 1999 was 20,530.

Compare that to 12/13, which was 13,562.

You're always going to lose a % of your support when you drop down a division, but it wasn't relegation that drove thousands away. It was the manner in which we were relegated.

Numbers are going own steadily season upon season, that's undeniable. A fair amount of those will be long term fans. I don't think it's necessarily boycotting as much as these people just don't enjoy it any more, or feel they're being treated with disrespect by the club (which is absolutely the case).

The worst part of this is that the club really don't seem to care. They seem happy for people to walk away.

Correct, Hull lost thousands and Bolton lost about 5k over night after their drops. We lost about 7/8k home supporters because they kept that schemer in charge so it was probably double what it would have been under normal circumstances.
