Venky’s & Waggott Out Protest Ideas

[scotchrover]

Just a thought from what I saw, last night…
 

As someone who’s now boycotting, it was apparent most of the protesting was in the Blackburn End, from what I saw on TV. 

If the owners are really watching every game, they won’t be seeing the discontent, as much as if it was in the Jack Walker Stand. 

Fair to play everyone who went last night though and made their feelings clear. As I’ve said before, I’ve had enough. I’ve voted with my feet.

I think the last couple of weeks have been brilliant and all involved deserve some genuine appreciation. I don't expect details now but I wonder, when this is all over, will we get a behind the scenes story? Feels to me there are people involved who we don't know about and that have recognised now as an opportunity. 

 

If that's the case, I absolutely love it and it gives me just a tingle of hope for a fresh start next season?

A fresh start next season? You believe in miracles?

Jack walker up was loud and vocal for the first half but did quite in the latter stages of the game. Only Half ish of us did stand up "if we hate venkys" which again was frustrating. A few more than usual though might I add saw @glen9mullanup there but you were further over than me mate

I agree…but that emotional pull is too powerful for many…

43 years a ST holder but enough is enough. I think many like me are now feeling the same way. It will hurt but it is for the greater good and the only way we get our club back and that is why, I think the personal emotional pull needs to be pushed aside.

That's where I'm at now, just have to tell yourself that train of thought.

Stay away for the greater good.

Dont think I've ever seen the BBE as empty for a league game in years...might be beaten though these next few Home games!.

Sad to see.

There's still plenty of Venky apologists out there.

I put one in his place last night when I could bear his 'Who else would put in 20 million a year?' guff no longer

Begs the question how can fan's be so Blind/Stupid as to events unfolding?

[Mattyblue]

The obvious comparison is the Blackpool NAPM against the Oystons.

Crowds completely collapsed down to a few hundred and as local businessmen owners the jig was up as revenue collapsed along with it.

Here, crowds drop down to just Swag-hail themselves and Chadster, so 31,365 empty seats, would they give a fuck? Or would they just shut the academy, flog Brockhall and operate it as a shell L2 club?

Crowds will collapse here too regardless next season, but I still don’t see it pushing them out the door. It’s a completely unique situation as these people just don’t  operate by the usual laws of football ownership.

Went back in Blackburn end second half,

NAPM seems like the obvious next step, such is rot that has set in. ‘No nay never’ is the obvious tagline.

IIRC Blackpool dropped down to 3 or 4 thousand.

If the same happended here, I reckon we'd go down to 6 or 7.

Particularly the older generation will attend no matter what. A chap who sits behind said to me last night 'I've been going since since 1959. It's a bit late to stop now'.

Who's this idiot

[Mattyblue]

I think their ST sales were in the hundreds, bumped up by big away followings and comp tickets.

Can anyone point me to the "legacy fan" quote.  Thanks.

[Paul Mellelieu]

Ps now we know why they don't do any interviews.

[John]

Post match the sky pundits talked mostly on Boro - when they did discuss Rovers, they were quite punchy on potentially VI being sacked (even at this stage) and also questioning Gestede “younger players” focus on his interviews. It’s positive that the running of the club is being discussed publicly again as most normal football people will ask what is going on, and question the decision making. 

The crap being spouted by our “exec team” needs to stop.

No one with any aspirations would hire our current head of football operations or current manager.
 

The piss taking needs to stop and we (the fans) are the ones suffering.

Remember though it's only a tiny minority who are making a bit of noise.

The lengths that these people will go to in order to protect their cosy little gravy train knows no bounds, just imagine what they tell the owners.

Only reason they are rattled and panicking is because they are terrified of that coming to an end and very little to do with another season completely imploding and the shambles on the pitch.

Developing youth is a noble cause, but for next season do we actually have any younger players who are likely to break through? Surely this is a key question for Rudy!
