[Archived] Mural Outside Ewood

[J*B]

Superb, poignant image that sums it all up.

My reservation would be that it comes across as a lament rather than a protest. I would put the Rao family front and centre.

Defamation, would be down within 48 hours..

What about an artist's impression of the Raos?

[Gav]

I think it needs a little more punch,

for those that don't know/realise just what they have done to the club

Completely agree.

Great idea though.

Doing what?

Would hate their ugly mugs on any mural outside Ewood full stop.

This is an idea for the mural - I personally think it's brilliant

An alternative will be produced with an option to vote at some point

What about words from Jack on the line " Don't let them destroy my dream. Venky's out"

Not necessarily this but something Jack would say.

[Tom]

I quite fancy a line similar to

'Created with love - destroyed by greed'

[Neal]

"the club that Jack built, destroyed by Venkys"

Very good, like that.

Very nice.

What about adding 'Rovers fans say you lied' under the Desia Quote...

lovely Image and very impressive if it can be reproduced at full scale!

only reservations really are that who outside the area will know who Anahura Desai actually is, and what relevance her quote may have?

the association the wider world has with Rovers is with Venkys rather than with the Raos/Desai, the mural certainly needs to include the #Venkysout mantra,

the wilted rose is too wilted! barely recognisable as Rovers emblem!

I would have a more critical message. The suggested text is a positive message and won't mean anything to a lot of people.

Doing what?

Rogering each other with a prize winning leak

Well I like it...it is hard hitting in a respectful way.

Shows the 'dignity' that the public face of the campaign has to maintain.

The pyrotechnics(which I also approve of) have to come from the outliers and soloists.

The made in Blackburn destroyed in India is probably the best one. Blunt, straight to the point, gets the message across if the venkys out banner is on it and everybody understands it.

[broadsword]

"One man dreamt big ... one family gave us a nightmare"

[PLJPB]

I like that the Desai quote is on there. We need to put her personally on the spot.

But I would also add the tag line 'made in Blackburn destroyed in India '

[MCMC1875]

'MADE IN BLACKBURN 1875, DESTROYED IN INDIA 2010'

#VENKYSOUT

Hard hitting, straight to the point. Says it all for me.

[Amo]

It's a good effort but I agree that it's a little too passive and not accusatory enough.

[Dave]

I like

MADE IN BLACKBURN 1875

DESTROYED IN PUNE 2012.

It may be better publicity wise if it does get out to India.

[Iceman]

Venkys came and they lied

Ruined a great legacy, and took away the pride

An embarrassment, shambles and derided

Destroyed the club, and had fans loyalty divided

Why should we stand for this

And see the club headed for the abyss

Let’s protect our rich history

And get back our place very swiftly

Together as one, we can achieve great things

And once again be Lancashire Kings

[oldjamfan1]

The mural is a brilliant effort indeed. However, I remain of the view that Jack Walker's image or name should be nowhere near this if we want to try and gain wider support. Fans of other clubs already think we were a set of lucky so-an-sos for having had a benefactor like Jack in the first place and (in their eyes) buying the league title. Anything that gives the impression that we want another Jack is sending out the wrong message and is likely to fail. Focus on the wilting rose and the fact that we simply want 'normal' owners who actually care about the club.

[tomphil]

Also isn't this mural is supposed to be getting the Venkys out message across ?

We've had twenty odd years to pay homage to Jack with one but no sign, i actually don't want to see his image sharing a wall with those con artists.

[Amo]

Rather than a sombre Jack in the background, replace him with caricatures of the Venky's literally overseeing our demise.

Yes, have Venketash with crazy confused eyes choking a chicken, fat Barry in full-on Saturday night fever kit dancing on oblivious and Madam cackling as she squeezes more pound notes out of the club.
