Who is still left in the hierarchy with any connection to the area or a pre Venky time?

Well, there's Burnley Bob.......

[Mattyblue]

Pretty much retired from club dealings, hasn’t he? 

[Crimpshrine]

Lynsey Talbot is general manager.  She is currently involved in a Rovers museum project. I'm sure the season ticket from 1891 would have been exactly the sort of thing the project would have been interested in.

Museum project?...damn shame nobody else knows about it...

Fans Forum meeting minutes March 2019:

Museum / Heritage Project Still in the early stages the Club have met with John Murray of the Supporters Trust discussing suitable areas within the stadium: funding opportunities: memorabilia and former player / fan involvement. The Club are looking at perhaps a smaller exhibition to begin with to generate fan interest and kick start future funding. One challenge will be the naming of the project to make it current and exciting. Given the rich and successful history of Rovers cataloguing the memorabilia that is held by Rovers alone will take some time and will be completed before inviting donations from fans themselves. The club is looking at setting up a fans consultation group when time is appropriate.

There must be staff at Ewood who have been twiddling their thumbs over the past 10 months who could have been making a start with this project. Also, I am sure there are supporters who would be willing to give up their time to help with this as well. 

Typical couldn’t give a shit management.

Waggott, Lynsey Talbot. Genuinely I could do a better job of running rovers in my spare time and I’d do it for gratis. I’d love them to call my bluff.

Again payment for the work could be in the form of a season ticket for next season. There will be plenty left over.

Are you a LB too, that would be an immense help

If they do call your bluff, I would come along as an assistant also for gratis.

Because of the late start to the season, there are a large number of Saturday/Tuesday fixtures over winter. If it is looking a mess in August, you can only imagine what it will be like in January...

Like I said...

[roversfan99]

Mowbray has typically ranted about the state of the pitch post match. To say that the owners supposedly never refuse to write a cheque im surprised the pitch has been treat with such negligence...

[chaddyrovers]

Mowbray has said that the club intend to invest in playing surface at Ewood Park and Brockhall pitches 

[roversfan99]

Bit late.

[Ewood Ace]

On the plus side the pitch should hopefully prove to be a bit of a leveller on Tuesday night as on a good pitch Swansea would play us off the park.

[arbitro]

When a club pays its absent Chief Executive twelve times more than it spends on the playing surface you know something is seriously amiss.

Then somebody needs to tell Kaminski to kick the f***ing ball into the opponents' half and stop piddling about with it in our own penalty area.

It doesn’t work like that, it’s only a negative to Rovers, just like bad officials only go against us, and injuries

[matt83]

The pitch is just symptomatic of everything that’s wrong with the club. Loads of fans have said for months that the pitch is bad but the club lets it turn into a potato field before anyone employed by the club thinks that something needs to be done.

It’s particularly ridiculous considering Moggasaurus in his infinite wisdom wants to play possession football.

They just can’t do anything right. 

[bazza]

Moggasaurus runs the club. Therefore a poor pitch is his fault. The buck stops with him.

[darrenrover]

It was proposed at the end of season before last, what the pitch would be like now, if proposals weren't actioned.

The cost was £1.5 million to have the best pitch, technologically, fabric etc in the country. The proposal was refused before it got to India, I believe.

Look at the bloody result! Who is to blame?
