OJRovers Posted February 18, 2017 Posted February 18, 2017 I will ask a friend who is a Man Utd blogger with 30,000 twitter followers to promote it
mhead Posted February 18, 2017 Posted February 18, 2017 After all the news and attention this week, we all need to shout it loud on Sunday......with voices and red cards. Not just Venkys but also mystery joint owners and the obsolete F.A. Cmon you Blues!
Dunnfc Posted February 18, 2017 Posted February 18, 2017 Sunday 19th February Blackburn Rovers vs. Manchester United #VenkysOut “Show Your Red to the RAOS” Blackburn Rovers welcome Manchester United to Ewood Park, a fixture in which pre-Venkys’s had the hallmarks of a classic with many fans from both sides able to tell you a story of a game they’d seen between the sides. Six years ago (November 2011) Indian poultry company Venky’s acquired Blackburn Rovers in a twenty three million pounds deal , plus the existing debt of twenty one million which at the time was the 15th lowest in the Premier League supporting 4 out of the last 5 seasons in the league with 10th Placed or higher finishes including European campaigns. Since there disastrous takeover consulted and aided by Jerome Anderson and Kentaro the club has spiralled more than 30 league places amassing a debt of over 105 million pounds. To continue our fight to rid the club of Venkys and their associates we urge anyone going to the game tomorrow to raise your red card to the Rao family respectfully in the 18th and 75th minute of the game. Copies of red cards will be distributed prior to the game around the ground whilst smartphones can be used by searching for the red card app in most app locations. Please take the time to also visit www.venkysout.com and post your tweet with a hashtag of #VenkysOut An article of interest which briefly explains allot of the unknowns and rumours can be found here including leaked documents: https://www.sportskeeda.com/football/misery-at-blackburn-rovers-leaked-documents-reveal-harrowing-details-of-the-indian-rule-at-riverside SHARE WHERE YOU CAN FOLKS

Al Posted February 18, 2017 Posted February 18, 2017 On 12/02/2017 at 3:24 PM, Bigdoggsteel said: I am just hoping that all fans unite behind the protest and it isn't diluted by attacks on Coyle. The utd game is a great opportunity for the fans to show they all know who the real problem at this club is. Come clean. Are you really Owen Coyle?
J*B Posted February 18, 2017 Posted February 18, 2017 Red cards are available at most local Ewood pubs. Uncle Jacks, Fox and Hounds, Golden Cup, Brown Cow, Black Bull and Havelock. They will also be distributed outside the game and on concourses. If you are planning on protesting take a hand full and offer them around.

EwoodDawn Posted February 18, 2017 Author Posted February 18, 2017 As Rovers fan, David, pointed out on Talksport yesterday, many of us think the Roas are not alone in being to blame for the horrible state our club is in. But by joining in this simple action, media attention could be maintained, which can only assist in bringing about further discussions regarding what has really happened to BRFC. If you don’t manage to collect a paper one around the ground tomorrow, there’s always this: http://appcrawlr.com/ios/redcard
AllRoverAsia Posted February 19, 2017 Posted February 19, 2017 Oh for SGs aeroplane. Come on Simon you know you want to.
bob fleming Posted February 19, 2017 Posted February 19, 2017 http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-4238742/Blackburn-left-die-FA-Venky-s.html Left to die. £27m spent on players Bought Rovers for £23m £75m received in player sales £48m received in parachute payments £123m in debt owed to the Bank of India £200k spent on players in the last FOUR transfer windows You can do the sums. Those of us going today, are we all on board with this? Hold a red card up for 60 seconds on the 18th and 75th minute. Download the RecCard app, it's free. It won't kill you to do it, you might feel better for doing it. In between those times you can scream and shout for the team, in fact you can scream and shout and hold up something red at the same time. I know cause I've just tried it. Yes it is possible.

michaelscarn Posted February 19, 2017 Posted February 19, 2017 If you still have what it takes to be going on today it makes no sense at all not to give this a try .... if you can't even give this a try you can only be happy with what's going on
